People don't like the idea of thinking long term. Many are desperately seeking short term answers because they have money problems to be solved today.
Friends and family will tell you why your ideas won't work. Most are left-brained employees and specialists and NOT entrepreneurs.
The value of assets often increases exponentially while the value of your labor only increases incrementally.
A job is a short term solution to a long term problem
Every time you think you can’t do something... someone else thinks they can.
When you are young, work to learn, not to earn.
If you want a solid future, you need to create it. You can take charge of your future only when you take control of your income source. You need your own business.
By 2003, every fool was getting into real estate. The checkout girl at my local supermarket handed me her newly printed real estate agent business card.

People who refuse to open their minds to new strategies seldom become rich.
Success takes an investment in time, dedication, and sacrifice. This is true education. It is a process.
Tomorrows only exist in the minds of dreamers and losers.

A problem with school is that you often become what you study. If you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. If you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. The mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich
I grew up playing football and hunting; and went to military school and then into the Marine Corps. Kindness is not a valued trait. That`s why I had to learn kindness. As I grow older I'm finding it's something I definitely need to put focus on, thought and practice. Kindness actually comes from the heart, so it's really stretching inside of me. It's been quite a magical journey for me to learn to be kinder in my dealing[s] with other people.
For there to be an expense, there must be income somewhere else

The most life destroying word of all is the word tomorrow.
Don't bury your failures, let them inspire you.
Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.
Job security is a myth...it is also risky for self-employed people in my opinion. If they get sick, injured, or die, their income is directly impacted.
Learn how to learn, then learn what to learn
Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.
Building your own business is the best way to become rich. Then you can begin investing in other assets.
Hoping gets you nothing in life. If you want more in life it’s your job to earn it.
