want to be rich

hey, the best test of how powerful our mind can be is to make some money from nothing! you ought to read the book, you know. and when you say credit, it doesn't mean a bad thing at all. for there's a bad one and a good one-- you choose.

The ultimate secret to making money is capital.There are two ways of getting that start-up capital: deny yourself a part of what you currently own as a way of guaranteeing an income tomorrow.This is called saving. Clason says that for as much as you have any income of whatever type at all, then you already have a stream of income flowing through your pocket from which you can dam a little to enrich that pocket. The other way of getting this seed capital is through borrowing; when you borrow for the purpose of a wise investment, you need have no abhorence for borrowing. It is in fact a patriotic and humanitarian act so to borrow. You thereby take the money from those who have no current need for it and later share with them a part of your gains. It is important however not to think of seed capital in massive terms. Your seed capital can be as little as $1 for example. Did you know that if you find a way of doubling your money at regular interval of one year, then all you need is $1,000 to become a millionaire in ten years time: 1,0002,0004,0008,00016,00032,00064,000128,000256,000512,0001,024,000.

ok. maybe you can show me one way to get rich? i'll learn from you. thanks

I think you just must take mcjarges advice seriously in trying to read more of the book.When you do, you will be doing two of the most important things needed to become rich.They are: (1) you must be ready to work on yourself with respect to changing your mindset and acquiring new capabilities. and (2) you must be steadfast.George Clason talks about this when he talks about a man who decides to throw a stone into a stream each and everyday, then one day discovers that he has walked past the stream without doing his set assignment- what is he to do? He could determine to throw two stones the following day of course, but Clason says that would not be the way of the future rich man; the future rich man would be determined enough to go back and throw the stone that very day as initially purposed. Talking about ways to make money; here are some: (1) trade: find something that people around you need but is not available nearby, go where it is, buy and come and resell it. They will flock to you. (2) supply a need( product or service) at a cheaper price for the same quality or a higher quality for the same price. (3)give your money for the use of those who have technical knowhow in an area but do not have enough money to do their business and they will gladly share the resulting profit with you; that is the meaning of that big word- investment. dudumodu(Oludotun Osunsanya)

I find your comment a bit confusing because while you talk of the need to learn how to have financial freedom, you also talk about doing a lot of work and of good luck. Have you heard the saying that you need to work smarter and not harder. You do not need to do a lot of work , but you need to give your work focus. As for luck, I would say you find George Classon's work (The Richest Man in Babylon) and read one of the Arkad sessions dedicated specially to the issue of what role luck plays in making a man rich.To work is to pray; focused work! dudumodu(Oludotun Osunsanya)
