Notes/ Observations
Where you are today is where your thoughts have brought you—Mentally, emotionally, and physically.
People won't act on the thing they say that want; They visualize it and think how nice it would be to have it. But you have to believe that it's possible.
If you don’t believe in it fully, when you act on it - you won’t be in harmony with the goal.

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (Re-read)
If you’re looking for an intro to set you up for financial success, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is a great place to start.
The beauty of this book is that It is simple. It’s practical. Effective and life-changing. At least for me, it was the first book I read that got me into reading business, self-help, and mindset material.
The book starts with a simple idea:
That Wealth is NOT net-worth - Wealth is financial freedom:
So according to Kiyosaki - your house, your car, jewelry, your personal effects is less valuable than your financial freedom.
And that financial freedom boils down to a very important question.
How long could you live your current lifestyle - if you stopped working today?
Really think about that for a moment.
The first time I thought about this question was when I met a welder who told me he could last 3 years without income coming in - based on his current assets - and I always thought that was a cool benchmark.
So to make that happen a simple solution is to have your passive income exceed your current expenses.
to do that you Buy assets - Things that put money into your pocket
and
Reduce liabilities - things that take money out of your pocket.
So if it is so simple why is it not done by everyone.
Well, Kiyosaki says it lies in fixing two main things: Your Mindset; and Skillset;
For your mindset - you can't settle for less. And let bad habits ruin your life. You cannot let doubt, fear, arrogance, or laziness get you. You must take action.
For your Skillset - you must be willing to upgrade. Everything is learnable. especially financial, sales, management, negotiating skills - just to name a few.
The biggest factor is that you will have to be committed to lifelong learning for your whole mindset and skillset to improve.
Combine this with the motive to be financially free and you will no doubt increase your odds of success.
