Quotes
Money will buy a bed, but not sleep;
Books, but not brains;
Food, but not appetite;
Finery, but not beauty;
A house, but not a home;
Medicine, but not health;
Luxuries, but not culture;
Amusement, but not happiness;
Religion, but not salvation;
A passport to everywhere but Heaven.
I remember saying to my my mentor,”If I had more money, I would have a better plan.” He quickly responded,”I would suggest that if you had a better plan, you would have more money.” You see, it’s not the amount that counts; it’s the plan that counts. ~ Jim Rohn
What You Need To Know About Money
Financial Independence For Teenagers (An excerpt from “The Three Keys to Greatness”)
If a child has a dollar, what should he do with it? How you answer this question is very important because it could determine what he does with his money for the rest of his life.
You say,”Well, it is just a child and it is just a dollar.” We call that massive errors in judgement.
If the child wants to spend the whole dollar, you have to say,”No! You cannot spend the whole dollar.“
The child asks why not? You say,”Let me show you why not.” And you take him to the other side of town and ask,”Would you like to live here? Here’s where the people live who spend all they make.”
There’s nothing better than a visual illustration to get the point across to a child. Show them the tragic circumstances if you spend all you’ve got.
Kids will come home with big, wide eyes. Then ask, “Would you like to live like that?”
Kid says,”No way!” And then you explain,”That’s why you cannot spend the whole dollar.“

Finances: Building Wealth/ Wealth Tips
The philosophy of the rich versus the poor is this: The rich invest their money and spend what is left; the poor spend their money and invest what is left.
We all know a variety of ways to make a living. What’s even more fascinating is figuring out ways to make a fortune.
Financial independence is the ability to live from the income of your own personal resources.
Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.
To become financially independent you must turn part of your income into capital; turn capital into enterprise; turn enterprise into profit; turn profit into investment; and turn investment into financial independence.
If you depend on your company to take care of your retirement, your future income will be divided by five. Take care of it yourself, and you can multiply your future income by five.
It is better to be a lender than a spender.
A dollar and Some Ambition (An excerpt from “Building Your Network Marketing Business”)
Capital in your business is not what matters. It is not the money that buys you a future; it’s your skills that buy you a future. Money and no skills, I’m telling you, you are still poor. Money and no ambition, where are you? Money and no courage, you are broke. A little bit of money and and a whole lot of courage is all we need.
When looking for people, do not always look for the ones with money, money does not matter. What matters is somebody’s willingness to try. If they have a dollar to invest that’s plenty for me. A dollar and some ambition and I can show you how to get rich and it will be one of the classic stories of the company. When I was recruiting somebody and they would say,”I don’t have any money,”, I’d say,”I’ve been looking for you for six months! Let me show you how to do it without any money.”
Because here are the rules of capitalism: you can either buy and sell or, if you are in certain circumstances, you can sell and buy. That is, if you have got ambition. Now if you have not got ambition, we cannot cure that and money cannot cure it — lack of ambition. But if you have a dollar and some ambition, I will show you how to get rich. Even if you do not have a dollar, I will show you how to get rich, because you can sell and buy.
Somebody says,” As soon as the product arrives, I’ll sell it. ” No, no, you do not understand. You do not understand the magic of fortune if you say I have to wait till the products gets here. And you probably do not understand the vale of your own story.
By selling and buying, you are simply sharing from your own excitement and belief about the product and the opportunity. Once the customer says yes, ask for the money and then go get the product. After doing this three or four times, you will be able to buy and sell, but never let money keep you from an opportunity when you have in it’s place true ambition, faith and courage.
