An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

The Mexican replied, “only a little while.”

The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish?

The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs.

The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?”

The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life.”

The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise.”

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”

To which the American replied, “15-20 years.”

“But what then?”

The American laughed and said that’s the best part. “When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions.”

“Millions.. Then what?”

The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

It’s hard to put into words what Robert Kiyosaki has taught me about wealth. His New York Times best seller Rich Dad Poor Dad was
an amazing eye opener, shocker, epiphany and more!

The stark difference between being wealthy and being rich.

The true definition of an asset was not what I had learned or been told all my life!

Click the links below to learn more about Rich Dad Poor Dad!

If you prefer to listen to CD’s click here

After you get through this book your head will be spinning with ideas. You’ll wonder “Why didn’t anyone teach me this before?”

The reason is very few are taught what the wealthy teach their kids. It’s not in our public schools!

Don’t let you mind convince you to go back to the old ways!

Be careful as you learn new ideas for wealth building as the other side of your brain will try to tell you this is crazy or it doesn’t work in my town or some other excuse. To this date your mind has learned what it’s learned and sometimes it’s hard to understand something completely new! From this day forward you can start learning new concepts and apply them over time. Find other people with similar experiences and network!

Watch out for “Dream Stealers”

You have to believe in yourself to take this information and create fortunes and you’ll have to be careful about “Dream Stealers” who will tell you
“It won’t work.” Be sure and realize anyone who tries to take your dream is probably broke and working their life away… don’t listen to them!
Too often this will be your closest friends and family members. Don’t take it personally they are only working from their opinions and ideas NOT what you have just read and learned!

Beyond Wealth

If you feel you are doing fine with your wealth management but you need more help with advancing in life and business Jim Rohn is someone you want to have as a mentor. Jim has been a life/business philosopher for over 50 years and he’s sold millions of his books and CD’s. Although I’ve read/listened to hundreds of speakers, I want to bring the best ones to you here!
The Art of Exceptional Living is one of Jim Rohn’s best! If you need a little help with the right mental attitude get this set of CD’s and listen to them over and over!

Cashflow Quadrant

The next step to financial freedom is understanding cash flow and the difference between being an employee, self-employed, owning a business and owning investments. Again I cannot begin to put it into words so order the book or CD set:

Book or CD Set

Once you understand the Cash Flow Quadrant and the B-I Triangle then you are on your way to becoming wealthy!

Happiness & Personal Development

A word and phrase that mean so much!

Compare them to a wagon wheel. You and your life are the outer part of the wheel or the actual round part that rolls along on the ground.

The spokes are the supports that keep the wheel round and the length of the spokes are proportional to your balance for the particular spoke. Each spoke represents your faith, self-confidence, determination, drive and motivation but they also represent your family, friends, lifestyle and more.

If one spoke or spokes are longer or shorter than the others you will not “roll through life” in a smooth manner. You will feel like you have a flat spot in your life. Maybe your entire life is flat?

Personal development is not a destination but a life long journey. You constantly have to open and expand your mind with books, mentors, coaches and your beliefs or faith. YOU have to list what’s most important to you and measure the length of the spokes in your life to see where you need to work!

Reading is a MUST in life. The vast majority of people quit reading books or advancing their training after high school or college and it’s tragedy for people today! You have to set a daily goal to get at least 30 minutes of personal development via reading a book or listening to an audio or working with a mentor.

It’s so easy now with books on tape and now the new Amazon Kindle. Click to visit the bookstore on our site to get started!

Jim Rohn is an amazing life/business philosopher and I recommend this to anyone who wants to start turning their life around!

There are many great mentors in every community! You must have someone to talk to and share ideas with. It could be a pastor in your church or find a pastor in a church! There are business and life coaches in every city across the country just search or ask for referrals.

Unfortunately to often your family or friends will tell you how you are crazy to try anything new or it won’t work, etc. Don’t take it personally they still love you but they are not connected with where you want to go! Hopefully someday they will see the light and follow in your footsteps but don’t try to force anyone. Send them to this site to learn more!

If you’d like a personal reference for a coach email me and I’ll put you in touch with a number of people across the country!
