Just read Rich Dad Poor Dad for the umpteenth time (a great book by the way)
10 lessons I picked up from the book.
A thread.
1. To win, you have to understand that failure is part of the process, see it as a growth opportunity. Never fear failing.
"Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success.
People who avoid failure also avoid success"
2. You can not talk or dream yourself into getting rich. You have to take action.
"You’re only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something.
Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You’ve done something.”
3. “Emotions are what make us human. Make us real.
The word 'emotion' stands for energy in motion.
Be truthful about your emotions, and use your mind and emotions in your favor, not against yourself.”
4. If you’re the kind of person who has no guts, you just give up every time life pushes you.
If you live all your life playing it safe, doing the right things, saving yourself for something that never happens.
Then, you die a boring old man.
5. Do you face your fears or run away from it?
"The primary difference between a rich person and poor person is how they manage fear.”
6. Are you buying Stocks or the lastest iPhone?
“Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle class acquire liabilities that they think are assets.”
7. Money Twitter loves this one
"In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them.
Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes.
We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.”
8. Don't just have a goal. Have a mission, have vision.
"Sight is what you see with your eyes, vision is what you see with your mind.”
9. Really though?
"Workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers won’t quit.”
10. The stronger your will, the easier the task.
If you want it bad enough, you will certainly find it.
“As I said, I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn’t, but it wasn’t hard either.
But without a strong reason or purpose, anything in life is hard

Self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself.
'The more you do good things — the more you respect yourself and love yourself. Every time you lie, you lie to yourself.
And you gradually start to love yourself less and have low self-esteem' - Naval
"Typical buyers will say no as many as five times before saying yes to owning a product."
Many salespeople hear that statistic and think it
means that to become a top salesperson, one must hit buyers with same information until they cave in.
They imagine this conversation👇
Kyle: Would you like to buy?
Josefa: No.
Kyle: Are you sure? It’s a really good deal.
Josefa: No.
Kyle: We both know you have a need for it. And you told me you have room in your budget.
Josefa: No.
Kyle: You can count on us to deliver what we promise. We have been around for one hundred years.
Josefa: No.
Kyle: It includes free shipping and your choice of colors.
Josefa: No.
Kyle: At this price, they won’t last long. Now is the best time to buy.
Josefa: Well… maybe.
