“They don’t teach you how to get rich at school,

Sick of  Hearing  the Same Old Advice ? “ Word Hard , Control your expenses , Credit Card  is a  “No  , NO “ Do not get into Debt  !! 

Debunk  all those assumptions that  you will be  Rich  if you study hard and work  hard . This Book  is actually  not one of those .

 “Theydon’t teach you how to get rich at school,

 is all about the importance of money. The premise of the book clearly distinguishes the difference between the thinking of the rich and the poor. In essence, the only limitation between you and the rich is in your own mind, and achieving success lies in breaking these walls. At schools, you would have been stuck at algebra, Pythagorean Theorem, and organic chemistry but you never study financial planning, making money, or saving money. The book provides real-life examples to reprogram your thinking to that of the rich and wealthy.

You can't just graduate and leave  formal  education  and expect yourself to be  financially well equipped. Many people think that having a  good education  is sufficient  to  the roads to acquire new wealth  , well they can't be any more wrong! It is having the mindset of the wealthy that will make you rich. That is why many lotto winners who becomes instant millionaires loses most of their money because they don't have the proper mindset to maintain or grow their money.

You’ll discover why  some of your money beliefs might be wrong and  that could be holding you back , you  need to consider   what are the principles and what behaviors the rich have , that  you  do not have (Yet )

Laura Maya takes this idea and breaks it into twelve chapters. You wouldn’t find a recipe to turn rich overnight. Rather, the book provides a solid foundation for setting the psychological stage for strong financial habits.

Another feature of They don’t teach you how to get rich at school is the anecdotal references in the book. Laura likes to use lots of anecdotes to illustrate her points and she is quite good at it. For me, I found these references very apt to my observations in life.

What’s Inside They Don’t Teach You How To GetRich at School

The book is divided into eleven chapters:

Chapter 1: How you think about money really matters

Chapter 2: They don’t teach you how to be rich at school                        

Chapter 3: Myth or Lies , Which is True  

Chapter 4: Learn How the Rich  Think to Become Wealthy

Chapter 5: Wealth   Empowering  Beliefs           

Chapter 6: Change Your Money Mindset with Neuro Linguistic Programming

Chapter 7: Change Your Money Mindset with  Hypnotherapy      

Chapter 8: Break free from Ego

Chapter 9: Strategies for Improving Your Chances to get Rich

Chapter 10:Let Money begets  money   

Chapter 11:Developing your money making skill, mental, emotional and financial intelligence       

The premise of this book is straightforward – Rich people are programmed to think differently. Essentially, there are 18 ways in which rich people and poor people think differently. This chapter walks you through these 18 points clearly differentiating how rich and poor people think.

Studying hard, getting nice grades, and getting a job is not enough to be rich. That’s one lie which we have been fed with since our childhood. There is a difference between scholastic, professional and financial education. The book further analyzes the root cause of why you are not rich. It all boils down to your education. You were never taught about how to be rich at school. Forget that, you never even learned personal finance or how to handle money. It further touches upon how you can get smart with personal finance.

Perhaps the biggest argument Laura makes is the fact that everything can change if youchange your mindset. Buying that expensive dress, impulsive buying, etc. are all signs of a poor mentality. If you make changes to your lifestyle and spending habits today, you will reap the benefits tomorrow.

On making money, Laura’s approach is simple – she emphasizes on investing, spend less, and plan for a long-term. This isn’t something new. We have all heard it. But we never implement it. Laura gives real life examples of how you can start your journey to being rich by investing for a long-term, planning your finances, and by staying on a budget. Last but not the least, she focuses on self-investment by developing your mental, financial, and emotional intelligence.

To sum up, Laura has come up with a book that truly focuses on the core problem today – financial planning and money making is simply not taught at schools. The book truly provides a step by step guide to change your thinking about money, set realistic goals, and embark a journey towards riches.

"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth"

Last week I read a book called

"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind:

Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth",

and I think it's one of those books that everyone should read, regardless of your age, profession and nationality.

As the title suggests the book is about developing the right mindset about money. What I liked about it, though, is the fact that it's not focused on the "law of attraction", but rather on practical things you can do to achieve wealth. I do believe on the "law of attraction", but there are countless other books out there that cover that, so having one focusing on the practical aspects of things was refreshing.

The core of the book are the 17 "wealth files" proposed by the author, T. Harv Eker. They are:

1. Rich people believe "I create my life." Poor people believe "Life happens to me."

2. Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.

3. Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.

4. Rich people think big. Poor people think small.

5. Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.

6. Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people.

7. Rich people associate with positive, successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.

8. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.

Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.

9. Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems.

10. Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are poor receivers.

11. Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.

12. Rich people think "both". Poor people think "either/or".

13. Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people focus on their working income.

14. Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.

15. Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money.

16. Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

17. Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know."

Obviously inside the book each "file" is expanded in great detail, examples are provided and so on. It's not a long book either, so when you have some free time make sure to read it. Daniel Scocco
