HOW TO GET RIGH - Book Review Thus Far...


Felix Dennis talks, one of UK's richest, about three starting (pole) positions for getting out and getting rich, and the excuses those three positions usually have:

1. Young, Penniless and Inexperienced--For him this is the best place to start. Because you have nothing to lose. The excuse of being young, inexperienced and lacking in capital actually can be overcome with the compensation of less risks than the other two, having more energy to cope with failure and hard work, and therefore can become leverage. 

2. Slightly Better Off and On the Way Up-- Those who are advancing with a "halfway decent job". Their obstacle is actually what they already have achieved already. 

3. Senior Manager/Professional -- Those at the top range who probably have a mortgage and a family to support. These folks are comfortable and do not want to risk losing the security for the mortgage and the happiness of the family. 

Which one do you think you fit in? I think I am number 2. Those of us there have to develop a mindset that will realise that whatever we have achieved thus far is only a tiny glimpse of the possible achievements we can have in life, and to learn to let go of what is average to reach for what is greater. Greater influence, greater impact, greater income, greater freedom and greater happiness, greater satisfaction.
