I believe in the light that shines and will never die
Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive
They will talk about us
Like they talked about the kings before us
They will talk about us
These are the words of a believer, achiever, leader of the
globe
My financial beliefs are as follows:
1.
I believe that financial literacy is important
to teach the “have-nots” how to become “haves.” You can win the lottery but if
you don’t know what to do with the money, you could lose it just as fast.
2. I believe that everyone must have a basic
understanding of taxes regardless of their income level. Don’t ever just rely
on the advice of a tax accountant. You never know if that accountant is giving bad
or illegal advice.
3. I believe most people that get ahead financially
are the people that are not scared of failures and sacrifice. Some wealthy
people are born into money while others had to grind their way to wealth.
Grinding means putting in the work that most people are too scared to do.
4. I believe that intelligence and natural talent
are important but having a strong work ethnic is how believers become
achievers. There are a lot of extremely smart people that are struggling
financially. It takes more than just smarts to become wealthy.
5. I believe that running a business is like
playing professional baseball. A professional baseball player that hits around
40% of the balls thrown at him is a considered legend. As an entrepreneur,
everything will not go as planned. Always be prepared to take advantage of any
opportunity. If one opportunity fails, get ready for the next one.
6. I believe that no matter how accomplished you
become, never forget the people who were with you when opportunities were hard
to get.
A good book to read is
5 Easy Steps to Financial Freedom: Do What You Love & Get Rich Doing It
by Duane Harden. Duane Harden doesn't
just teach you theory; you learn through his own hands-on life experiences. A
strong life lesson he imparts is the story of how he built his own solid
portfolio comprised of residential and commercial real estate and successful
businesses including a restaurant and a music company. He began with no
financial education, but he was determined and inspired. Today he leads a Cash
Flow Club where he mentors entrepreneurs on how to start and grow their
businesses so they, too, can become financially free.
“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.
Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and
create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their
lives.” Tony Robbins
