Whoever you are, whatever your financial situation, I´m here to give you a wake-up call, my friend. Twenty-five years ago, I set off on my own with nothing but a folding table and a phone. For years, real success eluded me. I told people I was doing well when I was often on the edge of being broke. Millions of people face the same plight--including my beloved brother-in-law, who died tragically before he could fix his money problems. That was MY wake-up call. I knew I needed more money, but I didn´t know how to get it. I only turned things around by getting honest with myself, taking responsibility for my situation, and figuring out some practical solutions. Now I´m going to show you how to do the same. In polite society, we don´t like to talk about money. But it´s too important to tiptoe around. In these pages, you and I are going to cut the BS and get real. For starters, I´ll help you understand . . . How the money has moved. Stop making decisions based on advice that worked decades ago, but no longer. The dangers of living in a False Positive. It´s easy to tell ourselves that we have enough-- until we´re hit with medical bills, aging parents, tuition, or early retirement. The cheap comfort of the blamer mind-set: It might feel good to blame the government, the economy, or your boss for your troubles, but it won´t change anything. Do you want an excuse, or do you want more money? The power of Lifestyle by Design. Visualize your long-term goal and work backward to figure out how to get there. The trade-offs of being an employer or employee. You can get rich by starting a business or by rising to the top of an existing organization. Let´s figure out what´s right for you. It´s going to take grit and guts, but if you follow my road map, you´ll start accumulating real wealth, the kind that lets you live the life of your dreams and lasts for generations to come.
