This morning, you decided what you were going to have for
breakfast and what you’d wear all day. You chose when to
leave the house and where to go – but did you choose to be
wealthy?
That’s an important thing, says Kimbro. It’s a decision you
“must make” in order to control your life and seize
opportunity. And yes, there are opportunities to be had; you
just have to be on the lookout for them.
“Riches,” says Kimbro, “are lying everywhere for the
observant eye.”
In order to find them, though, you’ll need to think and act
like a millionaire, and two of the “common factors” Kimbro
discovered about black millionaires are their “relentless
commitment to lifelong learning” and their focus on a
purpose in life.
Millionaires also utilize their unique strengths to “master
whatever field [they] enter.” They’re self-starters with
“grit” and a strong work ethic, inquisitiveness, and they
understand that ideas have power. They practice thrift,
salesmanship, and spirituality. And for them, failure is not
an option.
To step on your own personal path to wealth, learn how to
“add value” – not only for your customers but for employees
and your community at large. Be an optimist. Read all that
you can to educate yourself (and to set an example: recent
studies show that nearly half of black 17-year-olds are
“functionally illiterate”). Understand that looking
rich and being rich are often two vastly different
things. Don’t be afraid of work; in fact, love your work and
stop being afraid of Mondays.
Learn how to network and how to stop wasting time. Practice
Praise. Believe in yourself, know who you are, and play up
your strengths. Invest in yourself.
And finally, own your own business: that, says Kimbro, is
one of the major “laws” of wealth.
Tired of nothing but dust in your wallet? Sick of paying
with pennies? Then crack open The Wealth Choice just
about anywhere, and get ready for real change.
With dozens and dozens of anecdotes and examples (including
his own), author Dennis Kimbro explains how millionaires are
made – and not just monetarily. Because he tends to repeat
himself in various ways, readers get a hard examination of
attitudes and traits of the wealthy, making it nearly
impossible to avoid assimilation of these habits.
And that’s good because, really, who doesn’t want to be
successful?
Though it’s written mostly for the benefit of
African-American readers, this book can certainly be
utilized by anyone. If you want to be one of the thousands
of millionaires around the world today, The Wealth Choice
won’t leave you empty. |
