My Sunday In Review

Today has been spent browsing wealth education sites. I got to the middle section of Rich Dads 'Cash Flow Quadrant' when it occured to me that i am terrible with anything to do with numbers; (well besides when something is discounted and I can get it cheap, SALE!!) I REST MY CASE!
I went from site to site and was just blown away by the abundance of information available. I still didn't find exactly what i was looking for, i think it may be titles "the exact solutions to your problems" or "everything you need to know in one easy to read pageto start investing today without any risk" yeah right... lol, by the afternoon i relaised that the only way to improve my financial literacy is to start getting involved - the hands on way!It occured to me at some point throughout my findings that I knew what was involved in making money, but i dont have any of the basic skills involved with keeping it or making it grow.

So, in my travels i discovered a guy called Jamie McIntyre anyone heard of him? An Aussie prodigy millionaire.... or so it seems. His home study cours is $4500, Hans Jakobi is $4000 and Donal Trumps is only $approx 400 US, i still cant work out the difference and i still wonder what the best way is to evaluate this stuff, it seems to me there are many more cheaper options available which are also extremely educational.

I ordered Kim Kyosakis new book the wife of (Robert Kyosaki) "Rich Woman" a book that apparently eventuated due to a lunch with some of her gf's! Am chaffing at the bit to get my hands on that one!

As for Donald Trumps web site, i like the way it is structured and i like the responses you get from the site; it's not about "what can we sell u?" it's about "how can we help you?" Which was refreshing and if i were an entreprneur right now with an amazing idea, it would be my first stop!

hope everyone has a good w/end... am hoping that if i spent a few hundred sundays dedicated my dream fishing boat will actually become my tender and so on so forth....happy wishes & bigger fishes!

Hey Kaddy!

Just went for a surf around the net and found this! AWESOME proactive idea!

I bought the book 'Rich Woman' written by Kim Kiyosaki at Christmas time. Loved it! I found it interesting and easy to understand!

I have heard of Jamie McIntyre too, - infact went as far as to send away for some 'free' info and a 'free' video he was giving away a few years back. Sounded good but the real aim seemed to be to buy the 'home study course' and at that price and already being in debt it wasn't an option then.

I'm a bit like that, - have ideas on how to KEEP and GROW money in the long term but find the actual 'doing' harder, something I need to change!
