Chapter Eight
GETTING STARTED
fiere is gold everywhere.
Most people are not trained to see it.I wish I could say acquiring wealth was easy for me, but it wasn’t.
So in response to the question “How do I start?” I offer the thought
process I go through on a day-to-day basis. It really is easy to find
great deals. I promise you that. It’s just like riding a bike. After a little
wobbling, it’s a piece of cake. But when it comes to money, it takes
determination to get through the wobbling. That’s a personal thing.
To find million-dollar “deals of a lifetime” requires us to call on our
financial genius. I believe that each of us has a financial genius within us.
The problem is that our financial genius lies asleep, waiting to be called

the love of money is the root of all evil. It has encouraged us to learn a
profession so we can work for money, but failed to teach us how to have
money work for us. It taught us not to worry about our financial future
because our company or the government would take care of us when
our working days are over. However, it is our children, educated in the
same school system, who will end up paying for this absence of financial
education. The message is still to work hard, earn money, and spend it,
and when we run short, we can always borrow more.

10 steps to awaken your financial genius. I simply offer you the steps
