Rich Dad Lessons: The Quick Reference Guide To Wealth

As most of you know I'm an advocate of Robert Kiyosaki's work and have been recommending you read 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' for quite some time so I love this article which summarises very nicely the different strategies between the majority who are broke, the middle class who are 'successful' and of course the rich.

Check out the links in this blog for more on "what the rich teach their kids about money - that the poor and middle class do not!". Can you afford to miss out on this valuable information?

So what's it gonna be today?

When you get up in the morning do you decide what your purpose is for the day OR do you travel through the day just doing what comes up and ending it thinking you're part-way through the week which in itself is an achievement?

It's all well and good having a relaxed attitude however really successful people don't just drift through life - they plan, orchestrate, and devise how they're going to get to where they want to be. And the key here is that they don't just have one huge goal - they break it down into manageable, bite-sized pieces and play out each day appropriately to get to the end result.

Have a purpose!

What has this got to do with intension's for the day? Well if you want to be successful you need to live each day purposefully - stop drifting and start driving. Your purpose for the day doesn't have to be cold and to-the-point, it can be as warm and fluffy as you like, just make sure you have a purpose! Some ideas are for you: -
  • To complete a project/article/job/task
  • To communicate effectively with my manager/team/partner
  • To do something for someone else with no self-gain
  • To go for a run/cycle/swim
  • To go to bed earlier so that I can get up earlier
  • To phone someone I haven't spoken to in a long time
  • To compliment someone on a job well done
  • To devise an exercise and weight-loss plan
This is NOT a To-Do list - just decide on one intention that works for you (no more, no less - just one!) and commit to carrying it out today. And then start again tomorrow. If you live everyday with an intension you'll be amazed at how much you achieve!
