Richest Man

“The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason reminds us that we each have talents and abilities which can be enhanced to produce wealth. Everyone has a special talent which will produce prosperity when properly implemented. “Beloved by millions, this timeless classic holds the key to all you desire and everything you wish to accomplish. This is the book that reveals the secret to personal wealth” is the quote from the back cover of the book.

Especially in this troubled economy, people are searching for the secrets to acquiring money, keeping that money and making their current money earn more. This book reveals those eagerly sought after secrets. One of those secrets is learning more about how money works. Education remains a timeless asset in every situation. Jim Rohn, noted business philosopher, frequently cautions us that “change does not start with inspiration, it starts with education.” Educate yourself on the business principles involved in obtaining wealth.

As a child growing up in Kansas, I frequently heard the expression “money does not grow on trees.” Well no, not technically. At this point in the American and in fact the entire world economy, we are all on fiat currency. Since fiat currency means that the paper money we carry is not backed by the gold standard or any other precious tangible metal, it is simply paper backed by the good faith and credit of the United States government. Ouch! That is not a comforting thought as I watch Franklin, Grant, Jackson, Hamilton, Lincoln and Washington all cringe as they are squeezed into smaller and smaller value. Sorry guys. Which brings up another point – why are there only pictures of men on our paper currency?

With the shrinking dollar and the pressing need for additional income throughout United States and the world, reading a book like “The Richest Man in Babylon” becomes even more important. In fact Jim Rohn’s mentor Earl Shoaff, recommended Jim start his library immediately. The two books Earl Shoaff recommended for Jim to read were “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George Clason. Look what those books did for Jim Rohn. They started his journey taking him from a seriously in debt 25 year old to a multi millionaire. That kind of progress certainly inspires me. How about you?

Jim Rohn reminds us that going to get those books and read them is an easy thing to do; however, it is also easy not to do. How seriously do you desire to improve your education and financial situation?

I have coached many people from flat line finances or even red line (in accounting terms that is more debt than cash to pay it) to wealth. Reading “The Richest Man in Babylon” is step one. Step two is to contact me and let me assist you in furthering your finances and your education. We will work together to design the plan for your future.

Either you design a plan for your future or by default; someone else will design the plan. Who do you believe knows more about what you truly desire for your life – you or someone else? My belief is that you either know exactly what your goals are now or you will know after we spend some time talking together.
