Subject: Your favorite Financial Books
Hello All,
I am a big reader and have learned through my years of being a small business owner that the number one asset that you have is your brain. I have also learned that what you put into yourself is what you will get out of yourself.
Educating yourself should be top priority if you wish to move from the E & S side of the cash flow quadrant to the B & I side of the cash flow quadrant.
When you educate yourself you also raise your level of influence of others. John Maxwell talks about this and calls it “your Lid Level” The more you read and work on improving your #1 asset the more your “Lid Level” and the ability to influence others.
I state all of this because I am interested in what book are on your favorites list.
Here is My List in order of favorites…
1. Retire Young, Retire Rich – Robert Kiyosaki
2. Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki
3. The Cashflow Quadrant – Robert Kiyosaki
4. The Automatic Millionaire – David Bach
5. Start Late, Finish Rich – David Bach
6. Prophecy – Robert Kiyosaki
I would like to hear what some of your favorite books and how they have influenced you and your path to freedom.
Tracye and I are on our path and we are seeing success. I would like to hear what you have been doing and your success
We are more than willing to share our ups and our downs and what we have learned.
TTYL,
Ray

Bernstein - on asset allocation charts and risk. The Millionaire Next Door by William D. Danko, Thomas J. Stanley - on just because you make money doesn't mean you should spend it on fancy cars and stuff. Of course I've enjoyed Kiyosaki and Bach's books however they are sometimes a bit overrated. Other resources I've found useful are listed on one of my sites www.whodefinesyou.com I get more from networking with rich people and doing business with them. All these books that read good but don't give you access to their resources gets old after a while. Why go to people to help you when they aren't successful themselves. Some of these authors become successful by writing about finances. Don't you want to use a company, group or person that is already successful? "Hey I can coach (or do some type of work) you on having a successful business", yet that person isn't successful. I find it strange. P.S. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand describes my feelings about business. Great book. |

Best business reads (in my opinion)
I am going to start with the monthly mags
Forbes - a must read
Entreprenuer - a must skim (there is always soemthing good in it, but it
doesnt captivate me)
Fast Company - a must skim (there is always soemthing good in it, but it
doesnt captivate me)
I dont read many others, it seems like they are filled with SO many articles
that I would consider to be the ones that the pros refer to when they say,
"FInd what the masses are doing and do the opposite"
As far as books.
All of RObert Kiosakkis books are great. I have read them all. They were
amazing then, but as we all know there is a lot of fluff and when we get to
the point that we need some meat we will be unsatisfied.
Having said that I havent found another author that has the "meat" in such a
condensed easy to follow way as R/K did. It seems like the meat is out
there but you have to go to many places to find it.
Here are some of them, that I have found and I cant wait to hear what yours
are...
1. T Harv Eker - Easy to read and apply book similar to Think and Grow Rich
2. Unlimited Wealth by Pilzer - Explains how there is plenty out there and
if we help the world we will get rich.
3. Trumps books. It is always good to know EXACTLY what rich people do so
we can copy them.
4. Richard Brandson's book - How I lost my Virginity. A MUST read for any
entreprenuer.
5. Buffetts book.
6. Lower your taxes big time. by Sandy ?Boinkin? If this book doesnt save
you thousands I will eat my shoe. I thought I was taking advantage of all
the available deductions and loopholes, but boy was I wrong.
Probably my favorite place to get the "meat" is from Mentors. If you dont
have one (or 5) yet this needs to be your top priority.
that is my .02

I agree on having Mentors. Most books and articles are written by people that are not wealthy.

Harry Lorain said, "Knowledge is power, but only if you can remember
it". I've read many books on real estate and financial success.
There are many authors today that are great motivators, i.e. Robert
Kiyosaki and his many advisor books. There are also many guidebooks
on forming businesses and setting them up, i.e. The e-Myth by Michael
Gerber.
All these books are great and I encourage everyone to read as much as
possible. However, since the key to knowledge is remembering it, I
think we should all take notes and share them with others. I
encourage everyone in the group to start making posts to the Cashflow
Forum of Texas on their latest book. This will help you in three
ways, 1) retain by summarizing, 2) opportunity to teach others and
create idea exchange, and 3) allow a place for you to go back and
review your past thoughts.
My favorite author is Napoleon Hill, the godfather of success
planning. I am currently reading his book, Law of Success (written in
1927) and I find it amazing how I see so many of his ideas and
suggestions incorporated into many of today's modern authors.
I have started a thread in the Cashflow Forum of Texas on Law of
Success. I welcome everyone to start making reply if you have ideas
on the topics I write about. Thanks for your participation.
Best regards,
Israel Silva
Cashflow Forum of Texas Moderator

I have enjoyed the Rich Dad series but got a little bored because it appeared he kept repeating the same information. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with positive reinforcement!!! I will, however, say Loral Langemeier - Millionaire Maker takes RK's books to a new dimension. I enjoyed her book and plan on going to see her live. Who knows, network with a few more people!!! I have been rubbing 2 nickles to get a dollar (working the rat race) now I need to strike it big! Trump's books are also very good. He does have some very interesting ideas.
