The Key to Winning

Hello. I'm going to to get the hang of blogging soon enough, just bare with me. Currently I'm reading a book called The Little Black Book Of Connections by Jeffrey Gotimer. I first came across his work via an audio book at the library. Shout out to Enoch Pratt Free Library in Downtown Baltimore. That audio book is called The Little Gold Book of Yes Attitude. I instantly decided to pay attention. He has great videos out and some other great books as well. I wanted to post this quote from The Little Black Book of Connections to serve as some sort of motivation for you to make the changes needed to improve your life if you need to.

The Little Black Book of Connections by Jeffrey Gitomer p.90

Here's The Key To Winning:

Put action items into your daily work plan and dedicate the time to do them. Think of it as making appointments for your own success. Make at least three appointments with yourself a week. Make them one hour appointments, and keep them.

If you do this, you will have 150 hours of time dedicated to your success in one year.

Note: Make sure at least half of this time is spent one-on-one with connections that are imperative to your success. The rest of the time can be spent writing, preparing your e-zine, or taking other actions to be a value-provider.

The New Rules of Money

Hello. I am proud to be finally learning how to blog. My passions are what I say to be health, wealth, and wisdom. They go hand in hand. To be a whole person, you must strive to grow in all areas.

The purpose of this blog is to share information on building wealth, increasing health, and growing wisdom. As I come across things that I find interesting or have learned from, I will shre them. Feel free to contact me and share as well.

This leads me to my first topic.

I am a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki. Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cash Flow Quadrant, and Increase Your Financial IQ are like bibles to me. They changed my way of thinking and my actions to go along with that.

Mr. Kiyosaki has again innovated the way in which we learn by creating this awesome online interactive book.

Click the link below and take time to read this book. It's the summer and you don't really need to watch those re-runs on TV anyway.

The world and what we thought about money has changed. It is time to re-educate or get left behind.

Enjoy the book
