Jim Rohn had repeatedly recommended the book “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George Clason, written in 1926. I can now say that I have read it and I’m so glad I did. In one of Jim’s many audios, Challenge to Succeed, he says that only 3% of his audiences every go out and get the book and read it. When I heard his comment again recently, I decided to join the 3% crowd by getting the book (a used one at a great price) and reading it. It’s not a long book and its fun to read since it is written in the way they would have spoken in ancient times in Babylon.
Today I want to let you know the initial steps that were used by the Richest Man in Babylon that allowed him to become so very rich. First though, I need to mention the prerequisite that I did not mention in my video. That all important prerequisite is to have aburning desireto become rich and wealthy. Without that, any set of steps will fail because the desire is not strong enough. That strong desire will make you seek out the knowledge and take the required actions.

Dave and I were amazed by the fundamental points that Jeff Olson made in his book The Slight Edge. If you haven’t read it yet or listened to the audio book, we highly recommend it. The audio CDs are great since there is a 20+ minute exclusive with Jeff Olson at the beginning.
Jeff so strongly believes in and has used this slight edge philosophy to create success in all areas of his life. Like us, Jeff has allowed Jim Rohn to be one of his mentors and The Slight Edge is based closely on the philosophies of Jim. One of Jim’s philosophies Read more…
Do you realize that if you want to be truly happy, you must make all your relationships great, especially those with your family? I know I’m pretty happy now, but when I stop and think about it, I know things would be so much better if all my family relationships were great.
One of the important ways to establish and maintain a great relationship is the ability to forgive and forget the little things. We are all human so there can be many little things that occur. In reality though, true big issues or problems happen very rarely. The trick is to properly recognize that almost everything is little and respond accordingly. The true BIG thing is the time already invested in the relationship and the many years to come in the relationship that can be empowering and precious. That’s the BIG thing that must be protected and nurtured.
A misunderstanding is a perfect example of a little thing that can often occur in any relationship. If it’s a great relationship Read more…
Today I want to let you know the initial steps that were used by the Richest Man in Babylon that allowed him to become so very rich. First though, I need to mention the prerequisite that I did not mention in my video. That all important prerequisite is to have a burning desire to become rich and wealthy. Without that, any set of steps will fail because the desire is not strong enough. That strong desire will make you seek out the knowledge and take the required actions.
