Being prepared for a job is a good idea for the short term, but it is not enough for the long term.

Excuses cost a dime and that's why the poor could afford a lot of it.

I've been saying this for years: There is no longer such a thing as a safe and secure job.

Building your own business is the best way to become rich. Then you can begin investing in other assets.

One method of staying ahead of rising asset prices and the declining dollar is to think bigger and come up with better plans. As important as financial and business planning is a plan for personal development and self-improvement. I'm often asked to invest in people's business plans, and one of the reasons I turn many of them down is because a big plan requires a big person who's spent time on personal development. In a lot of cases, a business plan is far bigger than the person with the plan - that is, the dream is bigger than the dreamer.

Workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit.

Most people try to get rich by being cheap and the price for that is that you live cheap and there is so much money out there; why would you want to live cheap?
