Rich Dad, Poor Dad

who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past.
I have found that many people use arrogance to try to hide their own
ignorance. It often happens when I am discussing financial statements with
accountants or even other investors.
They try to bluster their way through the discussion. It is clear to me
that they don't know what they're talking about. They're not lying, but they are
not telling the truth.
There are many people in the world of money, finances and investments who
have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Most people in the money
industry are just spouting off sales pitches like used-car salesmen.
When you know you are ignorant in a subject, start educating yourself by
finding an expert in the field or find a book on the subject.

Getting Started
I wish I could say acquiring wealth was easy for me, but it wasn't.
So in response to the question "How do I start?" I offer the thought
process I go through on a day-by-day basis. It really is easy to find great

it's a piece of cake. But when it comes to money, it's the determination to get
through the wobbling that's a personal thing.
To find million-dollar "deals of a lifetime" requires us to call on our
financial genius. I believe that each of us has a financial genius within us.

can work for money, but failed to teach us how to have money work for us. It
taught us not to worry about our financial future, our company or the government
would take care of us when our working days are over. However, it is our
children, educated in the same school system, who will end up paying for it. The
message is still to work hard, earn money and spend it, and when we run short,
we can always borrow more.
Unfortunately, 90 percent of the Western world subscribes to the above
dogma, simply because it's easier to find a job and work for money. If you are
not one of the masses, I offer you the following ten steps to awaken your
financial genius. I simply offer you the steps I have personally followed. If
