I grew up without TV and certain books shaped my life and viewpoint and success. One of the first ones was the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I recently read another one and found out that the way I had been acting my whole life was very similar to the principles in this book. I watched people around me with exactly the same opportunities not change or still struggle with the same things months and years after I had figured them out. I wanted to help them. I’ve wanted to tell them that their financial stress and lack of success in life was their own fault and there was a way out. But it wasn’t always a good time and it wasn’t my place. Some of them have found their own way out and some haven’t.
This book, hundreds of years old, tells in very simple terms what anyone of any income can do to improve themselves financially and give themselves more options in life. “The Richest Man in Babylon” is a rich book of powerful actions any person of any status can take to get more control over their finances and consequently, their life.
For those who don’t have the time to read it or don’t like to read, here is a video with 5 of the many points in the book. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/qkUgmolMI9I
I wish everyone financial success and personal success and the vision to notice when it is not their circumstance holding them back but their own failure to think and act. That is freedom.
