In the homework assignments post I gave several books that are mandatory reading if you're interested in reaching financial independence.
The Richest Man in Babylon is mandatory reading if you simply want to get out of debt.
Book reports are now due.
Anyone who has actually READ one of these books needs to give me a book report.
If nobody is interested in doing at least that much, I will know I can save my time. My time is the MOST valuable thing I have.
It's valuable enough that I refuse to rent it to some corporation by the hour.
I am willing to help people purge their brains of the financial nonsense that has accumulated over their lives, but I will not drag anyone into prosperity.
My help isn't free. You have to earn it with your efforts to follow what I am saying. You have to do some shit or I won't waste my time.
Book reports are due!

I can't really even begin to speak on this stuff until those I am talking to reach a certain "BASE LINE" level.
Until people understand the "FUNDAMENTALS" of which I am speaking, nothing will really make sense.
If you don't do the reading, we won't have much to talk about.

Realize that once you guys have read a few of these books, we can START TO TALK.
I haven't even begun the suject of building wealth yet.
It's important to start at the beginning and the beginning is rewiring your brain.
Once you realize that what you used to think is BS, I can start to give you new ideas about WHAT TO ACTUALLY DO.
I cannot do that yet though.
You have to get a basic foundation BEFORE we can really start to talk.

So far, so good.

Yay! The book is finally finished. I'll get back after lunch and let you know the "lessons" I found most important.
