important thing to become rich is for you to have a mindset to want to become rich The reason I say that is because I wanted to become rich when I played Monopoly that was I was nine years old The greatest formula for wealth is found on that board game When I was nine years old my poor dad the schoolteacher said Ah put the game away Study study study You re wasting your time playing Monopoly And my rich dad said the formula You must open your mind and see the formula right on Monopoly He said It s right in front of you And I went What s the formula And finally I learned the formula is

talk to poor people Poor people will tell you Oh it s too risky Don t do that Don t take risk Save your money Play it safe That is a poor person s mindset You must have open mindset open And if you have an open mindset you will learn from everything If you have a closed mindset you will learn from nothing So I think that is the most important No I don t have a salary I only had a job four years in my life I don t want a salary The middle class and poor what they want is high income They think they want money But they have no wealth because they have no assets You must know the difference between money and wealth but they re not the same things Money will never make you rich This makes you rich I have large 用心 爱心 专心5 companies I have lots of stocks I trade options I have real estate
