How "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" Changed My Life

Wow, well that sounds kind of dramatic, huh?

And like I said, it wasn't like I knew what I was getting into by reading it - really thought it was going to be about how to give my kids an allowance. : ) And once I started reading it, I was a little overwhelmed because it had to do with money... and I had none.

But I kept reading, and figured out why!

Raised and educated to be a good little employee, I knew nothing other than trying to get a higher hourly rate and always feeling nervous to ask for my vacation time - or a sick day when one of the kids wasn't feeling well.

Owning a business seemed like something for other people - not for me.

I think it was mostly the idea that I could fail miserably if I had a business, and then maybe I'd end up even worse off - plus embarrassed.

I was playing not to lose, more than playing to win.

Reading how someone else sorted through all those issues and came out on top, with financial liberty in hand, was like finding an idea that had been waiting for me for a long time. I wanted to learn more, to see what might be possible.

And that led me to a second book - T Harv Eker's "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind".



This one drove my husband nuts for weeks... and I'll tell you why next time.
