Wealth is a Mindset

Have you ever wished that you were a brilliant entrepreneur? How about a millionaire real estate investor? Even better, a big-time investor like Warren Buffet? We may not be able to become huge;y successful people like this (or maybe we can), but we can take pieces of their passions and integrate them into our lives.

And how would we do this? By reading books. Education is the single most important tool of the wealthy. Reading allows us to tap into the thought process of millionaires and billionaires. By understanding what makes these leaders great, we can take their success (and failures) and make our own lives great.

I am a standard government employee and have been in the military for 22 years. I always thought that at some point things would “click” and I would “just get ahead” of the financial power curve. Well, I was wrong.

Things don’t just “click.” The only way to get ahead is to forge a path of education and hard work. I read 35 books over the last six months and wrote five takeaways from each. By doing this, I have created my own formula for success.

I call my formula Retirement 4-50 and it consists of five pillars of passive income. 1) Financial Education 2) Retirement Income 3) Investment Income 4) Rental Income 5) and Business Income.

In order to get smart in all these forms of passive income, I had to read books in each of the five categories. Now I am sharing these 135 takeaways with you. They will help you create your own path to financial independence. Please read and take action. Look into the books that seem interesting. Go down rabbit holes of education. Seek more information. Learn keywords. Understand Passive Income.

After you have read this book, please see my companion book called “Don’t Gamble Your Retirement.” Welcome to a new world. Welcome to the path of financial independence.
