Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was inspired through excitement and frustration with talks I would have with family, friends, and myself on the concept of us as people, lacking the understanding of building wealth. We were not taught financial literacy and the importance of financial freedom. I would be disappointed listening to how some of my friends and family would spend their money, falling victim to a poor mindset. We started off dependent and we bought into consumerism. We were led to believe that the only way to make legitimate money was to trade hours for money. We were led to believe that our value was tied to tangible items such as Gucci and Fendi. After falling victim to these beliefs, I began studying financial literacy and became an advocate for financial education. Once I realized how critical financial education was and how many of us, including myself grew up with a poor mindset, I wanted to extend my knowledge to someone that was just like me. By understanding and learning assets, you can create generational wealth and end generational curses. In this book, I didn't just want to give you strategies and tips on how to make money. Anybody can make money, the key is to grow it passively afterward. However, there's a certain level of mentality and discipline you have to develop in order to keep and recycle money. This book will teach you 9 principles to leave a poor mindset: 1. Pay Yourself 2. Live Below Your Means 3. Idol Money Is Bad For Business 4. Master Your Emotions 5. Always Remain A Student 6. Let Your Assets Pay Your Liabilities 7. Invest In Projects That Will Change The Lives Of The Masses 8. Spend Your Time On Opportunities That Excites You 9. Establish Group Economics Within Your Circle. Remember, you have the power to change any situation by switching your mindset.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Thinking like a poor person will keep you poor. Thinking like a wealthy person will make you wealthy. I would like to show you exactly what the differences between the two ways of thinking are and how you can use them in your favour.’ – Douglas Kruger - Douglas Kruger Being rich is not normal: most people never achieve wealth in their lifetime. The very word ‘rich’ describes a state beyond the median, and therein lies an important lesson. To become rich, you will have to think radically differently from the way most people around you think. Do you know what those specific differences may be? Business and wealth guru Douglas Kruger strips away the feel-good hype and gets right down to the practical principles. He leads you through the types of thinking that hold individuals, families and businesses in generational cycles of poverty. He explores the dramatically different approaches of the self-made rich and super-rich, showing you which behaviours to begin practising and which behaviours are traitorous to your wealth potential. Escape poverty. Raise your value. Change the trajectory of your story. It all begins with the way you think.
Download or read book The Mindset Makeover written by Tiana Von Johnson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of global economic turmoil, a growing number of people are feeling complete despair at their situation in life. That is in addition to the huge number of people who already felt trapped in unhappy and unhealthy circumstances before the economic crisis. Are we victims of fate? Definitely not, according to author Dr. Tiana Von Johnson. In her new book The Mindset Makeover: How To Enhance Your Self-Worth To Increase Your Net-Worth, Von Johnson explains how to recognize the prison, understand that it is in your mind and in your power to escape it. Best of all, she provides a map for your escape route. Von Johnson is not saying that you built that prison, only that you have the power to leave it. We are exposed to ideas from parents, teachers and others growing up, and sometimes those critical figures who influenced how we understand the world around us were pretty defeatist. They may have made an honest effort to prepare us for life's harsh realities, but they did not give us the directions to avoid the rougher roads and cruise along the highway fueled with confidence and optimism as well as savvy and navigation skills. Explore your relationship with money, with failure and with leadership and learn how to dismantle the prison in your mind. In The Mindset Makeover: How To Enhance Your Self-Worth To Increase Your Net-Worth, Von Johnson teaches readers the 10 laws of mindset mastery necessary to escape the poverty trap and build a new life brimming with potential and hope. If you want to achieve and succeed in life, you have to start by changing yourself from the inside out. It isn't easy, but Von Johnson makes both the big picture and the nitty gritty details clear. She also shares her own inspirational life story and how she transformed herself from a lonely young mom who had escaped an abusive boyfriend and 9 to 5 mindset to a successful business woman. If you are sick of feeling trapped and ready to free yourself, The Mindset Makeover: How To Enhance Your Self-Worth To Increase Your Net-Worth by Tiana Von Johnson is your ticket out.

Download or read book Developing a Mindset for Financial Success written by John Webb Ridley and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money has been on the minds of most throughout the centuries. Insufficient money for basic needs is a struggle for many. Every economy of the world operates on some form of money, except where a barter system thrives. A global economy uses the US dollar as the leading currency and actions by one country affects others, down to individual personal finances. The poor and the middle classes must handle money wisely to avoid sinking farther into poverty and taking steps to improve their financial situation. Simultaneously, the wealthy spend their energy on various strategies and investments. Regardless of the amount of money, both the rich and the poor must invest much thought and creativity in order to prosper. There are examples of those with great wealth who ended up paupers and others exist where poor or middle class individuals make prudent choices, and may become rich or wealthy. This book provides a background in basic economics with examples of failures in properly managing life, which requires the handling of money. Students should learn basic economic facts early in life, practicing good habits to aid them in avoiding mistakes by their parents, leading to poverty. Certain conditions that affect one's financial condition can be taught. These lessons should be the responsibility of parents and schools. Much can be learned from religious scriptures, where prophets, kings and leaders frequently spoke of the wisdom of fiscal prudence. Examples of failure of past and present are provided. Many rich people start out poor, giving them incentive to escape the shackles of poverty. Some rich families quickly and easily became poor due to easily avoided mistakes. The wealthy and dependents of government assistance often do not value what they receive without effort. When contrasting the poor, those in poverty and the wealthy, certain distinctions arise. The poor may have a choice to escape poverty. But some, complacent and comfortable, are dissatisfied with the amount received from government aid. The rich and wealthy may also fail to realize that money will vanish if not handled prudently. Today half the US population relies on some form(s) of public assistance. The US is a country of freedom, but many lack the initiative or knowledge to rise above a subsistence level. Becoming wealthy is not a matter of luck! Distinctions exist between those in "poverty "and the "poor." Poverty, mental state without hope, is a survivalist attitude difficult to eradicate. Many in poverty believe fate prevents success, but is often a result of choices. Some refuse low wage jobs, opting for government assistance. Others accept low-wage jobs, knowing poverty is not as a chronic condition. A lack of willpower, desire and a defeatist attitude often prevents financial advancement. Sadly, 50 million Americans struggle with poverty with no signs of progress. Others see minimum wage jobs as temporary while seeking education and training toward increased income. They have faith a better day is coming.Some interesting facts: 1 out of 7 persons in 2020 is a millionaire! To become wealthy, many worked up to 70 hours weekly. Being rich can be a very good thing when approached in the right manner, but for some it brings out greed. Government aid stifles personal initiative for some. Restrictions regulating the money in circulation are required to prevent the crash of the country's economic system as increases in circulation bring inflation so printing more money is no option! It was once said, "a democracy is in trouble when its citizens believe they can legislate themselves a living. Ironically the US may encourage poverty by providing aid rather than encouraging more creative approaches. Easy credit for training students at risk result in heavy student debt. No one rises from being poor if dependent upon the government to meet basic needs of family or individual! The parent leaving his son enormous wealth deadens the talents and energy!
Download or read book Rethinking Budgeting How to Escape the Poverty Mindset and Create a Lifestyle written by Simeon Lindstrom and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is NOT a book about money... ... It's a book about thinking about money. In this book, you will NOT find a few quick ways to save a hundred bucks this month, or learn how to cheat the system here and there to save on your utility bills. But what you might find is a new way to think about yourself, the money you make and how it all fits into your broader worldview. This book in particular was written for those of us who might not have grown up with the right financial role models, or who have ingrained habits that are holding us back. So much budget and personal finance advice out there is about solving problems using the same thinking that created them. In essence, it's just about being more efficient at keeping yourself stuck in the same old mindset and repeating the same old mistakes. Not about how to actually break away from those mindsets, or learning why exactly you make the mistakes you do. This is why I won't be making suggestions about how to dilute your fabric softener to save money or how to shop around for interest rates. For the curious, that information is easily available, usually for free. Instead, this book tries to go a little deeper. It starts with a fact that many personal finance guides out there avoid like the plague: that we are NOT all created equal, we aren't all coming from the same place and we're not all blessed with a basic, neutral understanding of what money is and how to use it. In fact, most people stay poor not because they don't know to dilute their fabric softener or get the best interest rates. It's because they're thinking poor, and they don't know how to think in any other way. Of course, I'm not suggesting that generations of institutionalized poverty comes down to nothing more than attitude. Certainly, people who've never had the opportunity to develop a different mindset are at a disadvantage. But what I am saying is that if you identify as having grown up poor, the only way "out" is to change your mindset. It's beyond this book to explain why you have that mindset to start with, and in most cases, it's nobody's "fault." Nevertheless, we are all equal in one fundamental way: at every point, no matter who we are or what we've endured in the past, we can make conscious, beneficial decisions for ourselves. No matter what, we can act now in ways that will make tomorrow better than it was today. No matter how broke we are now or how much we've struggled, there's nothing to stop us from stopping, taking control, and thinking our way into a different lifestyle, one choice at a time. That is what I hope to show you in this book. So, if you've tried all the standard budget advice out there but still feel stuck in a financial rut, this guide can show you how to get to the root cause of why that is. You can learn how to start undoing those habits and start creating a lifestyle that actually supports your goals and dreams. By understanding the different relationships we can develop to money, we can start to unravel self-limiting beliefs and habits that keep us trapped beneath our potential. This book is not about cutting corners or saving a little extra each month - but it is about reworking your deepest thoughts about yourself, money and your place in the world.

Download or read book When Helping Hurts written by Steve Corbett and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 450,000 copies in print, When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation. Poverty is much more than simply a lack of material resources, and it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve it. When Helping Hurts shows how some alleviation efforts, failing to consider the complexities of poverty, have actually (and unintentionally) done more harm than good. But it looks ahead. It encourages us to see the dignity in everyone, to empower the materially poor, and to know that we are all uniquely needy—and that God in the gospel is reconciling all things to himself. Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, When Helping Hurts provides proven strategies for effective poverty alleviation, catalyzing the idea that sustainable change comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out.

Download or read book Overcoming Underearning TM written by Barbara Stanny and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to money, are you controlled by fear? Do you live in financial chaos?Do you underestimate your worth? Are you ready to go to the next level, but can't seem to get there? If the answer is yes to these questions, you may be an underearner. Underearners are self-saboteurs who never live up to their earnings potential, says Barbara Stanny, a financial educator, motivational speaker, former journalist, and career counselor. Underearners tend to live paycheck to paycheck. They rarely balance their checkbooks and are often in debt. Ironically, many work incredibly hard. Yet they are ashamed to admit that money matters to them. They all have a high tolerance for low pay. The good news is that underearning is often self-imposed. By focusing on overcoming underearning, you will not only earn what you deserve, but you can live up to your full potential. With techniques and exercises that have helped thousands of people who have participated in her Overcoming Underearning™ workshops, Stanny teaches you five essential steps to financial independence. Once you understand these steps, you will be confident asking for a raise, increasing your prices, or getting a better job. "Now I'm making more than my friends, all because I had the guts to dream and ask for more," says one Stanny fan. First, Tell the Truth: be honest about your financial situation and figure out your attitudes toward money. Second, Make a Decision: decide that you want to make more money. Third, Stretch: take action, face your fears, and be willing to be uncomfortable. Fourth, Create Community by finding supporters and asking for help. Fifth, Respect and Appreciate Money: learn to save and invest. Overcoming Underearning is filled with inspiring, real-life stories of underearners who turned their lives around. Stanny brings a message of empowerment and hope to all those who chronically undervalue themselves. "I'm making more, working less, feeling healthier, have more energy, and I'm so much happier," concludes another Stanny believer.

Here, Linda Tirado tells what it’s like, day after day, to work, eat, shop, raise kids, and keep a roof over your head without enough money. She also answers questions often asked about those who live on or near minimum wage: Why don’t they get better jobs? Why don’t they make better choices? Why do they smoke cigarettes and have ugly lawns? Why don’t they borrow from their parents? Enlightening and entertaining, Hand to Mouth opens up a new and much-needed dialogue between the people who just don’t have it and the people who just don’t get it.

Download or read book Banker To The Poor written by Muhammad Yunus and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational story of how Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus invented microcredit, founded the Grameen Bank, and transformed the fortunes of millions of poor people around the world. Muhammad Yunus was a professor of economics in Bangladesh, who realized that the most impoverished members of his community were systematically neglected by the banking system -- no one would loan them any money. Yunus conceived of a new form of banking -- microcredit -- that would offer very small loans to the poorest people without collateral, and teach them how to manage and use their loans to create successful small businesses. He founded Grameen Bank based on the belief that credit is a basic human right, not the privilege of a fortunate few, and it now provides $24 billion of micro-loans to more than nine million families. Ninety-seven percent of its clients are women, and repayment rates are over 90 percent. Outside of Bangladesh, micro-lending programs inspired by Grameen have blossomed, and serve hundreds of millions of people around the world. The definitive history of micro-credit direct from the man that conceived of it, Banker to the Poor is the moving story of someone who dreamed of changing the world -- and did.
