Book recommendation

I've been reading the Donald Trump/Robert Kiyosaki book Why We Want You to Be Rich. I recommend for everybody to read this one. They have so many great points we can all learn from that will help us stop living a paycheck-to-paycheck life. I started reading this book because I need to get motivated again to work Arbonne after losing momentum during the holidays. I got something better out of it. What Trump and Kiyosaki say is actually pretty scary but hopefully eye-opening for people my age and younger: our financial situations are only going to get worse if we don't do something about them now. Too many of us have the employee mentality which will never give us financial security because employers really don't have any commitment or loyalty to employees. The only way to get ahead in the world is to become an entreprenuer, to become our own boss, to get control of our lives. The employee's life is totally controlled by the man, those with power and money. Do you know the 90/10 rule which states that 10% of the population earn 90% of the money? This means 90% of the population is fighting for the remaining 10% of the money. No wonder so many people are living close to broke. We need to become part of the elite 10% in order to earn more money. Many people set a new year resolution to get out of debt. I promise you that once you start reading this book your brain will be jump started to take action and do something to improve your life.
