Notes & Quotes

I would say that one of the hardest things about wealth-building is to be true to yourself and to be willing to not go along with the crowd.

You become what you study.

Keep your expenses low. Build up assets first.

Always remember: Profits are made in the buying, not in the selling.

Look for people who want to buy first. Then look for someone who wants to sell.

Action always beats inaction.

Money is only an idea. If you want more money, simply change your thinking.
