“The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of everything else to which he is entitled.”

In his book THE MASTER-KEY TO RICHES, Napoleon Hill takes the reader through a journey of endless possibilities, infinite riches and unlimited opportunities. This book is a continuum of Think and Grow Rich, and explains in further details and on a more personal level how to truly explore and accomplish all the amazing riches available for mankind.

Napoleon describes all the rights we have as an American, the affluence and abundance of all unforeseen riches available for us.  The trick is to let your mind guide you with you as its captain.  When you are the master of your mind and ship, and take full control over your own actions, you will unlock the never-ending possibilities of the master-keys to riches.

The key for a safe journey through the stormy sea of life is self-discipline. This self-discipline combined with a never altering positive mental attitude enables you to conquer all the obstacles that you will encounter during your quest for abundance.

Napoleon manages to lay out a framework or a map for our Definitive Major Purpose.  The key is to be a student of life, a student of all the things that brings us closer to our Definitive Major Purpose.  A well planned out education with the consideration and attention to what really is relevant to what you believe to be your definitive purpose, combined with a solid unwavering self discipline can lead to a life of abundance, not only in monetary means, but to all aspects of life, both personal and health.

Napoleon Hill is a remarkable man, and in this as well as all the rest of his incredible writings, he manages to bring forward to the reader the truth and gift available for us all.  This truth has be known and available since mankind’s existence, and now finally through Napoleon Hills research and

guidance, the readers can harness and  enjoy the ripe fruits and nuggets of gold now available for us.

Malcolm Gladwell has the magic ability to provoke and stimulate thoughts.  In his book Blink, you literally can’t afford to blink or you might miss a crucial point.

What is a snap-judgment and can you really trust a decision based on what your subconscious tells you?  In his book Blink, Gladwell uses fascinating and compelling stories loaded with anecdotes and social science research, to which he manages to break down to an easy and understandable reading.

There have been numerous times in your life; when you know something is not right, or that something that just don’t feel right or is out of place.  This is what Gladwell mean, when your subconscious is making a decision for you.

When, and in what situation is a subconscious decision better than an informed and conscious decision?  Gladwell shares some amazing stories for the pros and cons for this particular question.  There are definitely in my opinion times when a snap-judgment is far superior then a drawn out planning process.  A classic example of this is life-and–death situations, or sometimes in the case of a sensory overload, when a person has too many variables to choose from and use to make an informed decision.  I don’t want to ruin your reading and give away some wonderful stories, but I will say this though- can we call our perception reality,  if considering our interpretations of people, events and ideas are funneled through a filtering system, that are heavily influenced by internal ideologies and beliefs.  Gladwell uses so many examples of this kind of brain-massage, which will stimulate and provoke us to think in a diverse way.

A must read! I highly recommend Malcolm Gladwell’s book Blink, not only for you to be able to make an educated decision either on a sub-conscious or conscious level, but also as a fascinating day or two of study, reading and contemplating.

“You can be rich by being cheap.  The problem is, you’re still cheap.”( Kiyosaki, pg. 36)

Most Americans today are due for a financial oil change.  There is only so far an engine can run on pegged out red rpm, until something will break and fall apart.

Most of us can’t afford to lose much more than a few dollars.  We, the majority of people of the greatest and richest country in the world, the United States of America, have already lost the financial game of life.  It is very apparent in our present economical situation, when a dramatic change in our daily life occurs, either as a loss of income due to a lay-off or an illness preventing someone from being able to work.

Our financial IQ is unfortunately not as high as it ought or could be.  This is the root of the problem to free ourselves from the engine blowout.  The educational program we currently have is not up to date.  We live in a society that constantly changes, and unfortunately our school and educational programs have not stayed abreast to our fast paced society.  The biggest problem is that we are not taught even the most rudimentary level of financial education.

There is a solution to all of this.  I agree with Kiyosaki, that we must raise our financial IQ, we must change our school and educational system to stay abreast of the future and most of all to invest in ourselves in the required learning of finance.  The problem that arises with this proposed life-line, is that most folks today are not willing to pay the price of such endeavors. It is like anything in life, the required training to become a hall of fame athlete or years of dedication of study to be an astronaut, it is all about paying the price, which most of us just don’t want to do.

According to the grim statistics of Americans reaching retirement age of 65;

• 1% of us will be wealthy
• 4% well off
• 5% must continue to work
• 54% live under care from either family or government
• 36% dead

Find a big enough why and start the journey of financial freedom.  The most successful people not only learn from their own numerous mistakes, but also from other peoples mistakes.  Learning is an ongoing process so start today and avoid 99% who did not make the decision to be in the 1% wealthy when reaching retirement age.

In summary: Read Robert Kiyosaki’s books and other books of financially successful people, and seek the power of mentorship and guidance.  To find out more on how to increase your financial IQ:
