Famous Quotes I especially like are highlighted in different colors *_*

. "Financial Intelligence is the key to success financially and not just academically."


. "The problem with having a job is that it gets in the way of getting rich."



. "Leverage is the reason some people become rich and others do not become rich."


. "The biggest challenge you have is to challenge your own self doubt and your laziness.
It is your self doubt and your laziness that defines and limit who you are."


. "Talk is cheap. Learn to listen with your eyes. Actions do speak louder than words.


. "Cynics and fools are twins on the opposite sides of reality and possibility.

Fools will believe any far fetched scheme and a cynic will criticize anything
outside their reality. A cynic's reality does not allow anything new in and a
fool's reality does not have the ability to keep foolish ideas out."


. "There are fast ideas and slow ideas, just as there are fast trains and slow trains.

When it comes to money, most people are on the slow train looking out the window
watching the fast train pass them by. If you want to become rich quickly,
your plan must include fast ideas."


. "Always start at the end before you begin. Professional investors always have an

exit strategy before they invest. Knowing your exit strategy is an important investment fundamental."


. "If you want to be rich, you need to develop your vision. You must be standing on the

edge of time gazing into the future."


. "Investing in mutual funds is investing at the end of the food chain."


.  "Start small and dream big."


. "Money is just an idea."


. "Sight is what you see with your eyes, vision is what you see with your mind."


. "Excuses cost a dime and that's why the poor could afford a lot of it."


. "Skills make you rich, not theories."


. "The ability to sell is the number one skill in business. If you cannot sell, don't
bother thinking about becoming a business owner."


. "People who dream small dreams continue to live as small people."


. "People without financial knowledge, who take advice from financial experts are
like lemmings simply following their leader. They race for the cliff and leap
into the ocean of financial uncertainty, hoping to swim to the other side."


. "Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed."


. "Too many people are too lazy to think. Instead of learning something new, they
think the same thought day in day out."


. "Thinking is hard work. When you are forced to think, you expand your mental capacity.
When you expand your mental capacity, your wealth increases."


. "The most important word in the world of money is cash flow. The second most important
word is leverage."
