You see... making money is a game. If you learn the rules of this game, money will ? ow into your hands. If you do not play by the rules, you will struggle all your life ? nancially despite working very hard. Haven’t you ever asked yourself why some people earn ? ve times, ten times or even twenty times more than others? Is it because they are twenty times smarter? Is it because they work twenty times harder? Or are they many times luckier? The answer to all these questions is a resounding ‘NO’! I am sure you know people who seemed to be much lazier than you in school and had poorer grades but now they are so much more successful ? nancially. Although their school report card used to be chockfull of ‘F’s, their ? nancial report card carries straight ‘A’s. Why? The only reason is because they know how to play the game of money whereas most people have not learnt how the game is played. You see... none of us are ever taught how to make money, how to invest money or how to manage our wealth and yet money is the most important subject in our adult lives. Although many people say that ‘money isn’t everything’, that’s only a half-truth. The truth is that ‘everything is money’! In order to achieve excellence in the different areas of lives like our health, relationships and family, we need to be ? nancially secure!
To be financially secure means to be ‘Free’ – free from being hounded by creditors to pay one’s rent or the hospital to pay one’s bill. To have suffi cient money to feed oneself and one’s family, to pay for basic needs and to pamper ourselves with luxuries once in a while. It also means the ‘freedom’ to walk away from a job, a company, an employer, one cannot stand and have the option to be employed or self-employed doing something one values and finds fulfilling. No one can quarrel with this defi nition of the need to
have enough money.
