Let me put it bluntly: anyone who says that money isn't important doesn't have any! Rich people understand the importance of money and the place it has in our society. On the other hand, poor people validate their financial ineptitude by using irrelevant comparisons. They'll argue, "Well, money isn't important as love." Now, is that comparison dumb or what? What's more important, your arm or your leg? Maybe they're both important.

Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on rewards. Poor focus on the risks.

My definition of financial freedom is simple: it is the ability to live the lifestyle you desire without having to work or rely on anyone else for money.

If you want to create wealth, it is imperative that you believe that you are at the steering wheel of life, especially your financial life.

The only way to earn what you're really worth is to get paid based on your results.

Rich people do not back away from problems, do not avoid problems, and do not complain about problems. Rich people are financial warriors.

Practice being in the present. Do what you're doing 100%.
