Derrick KinneyGUEST
Everybody's going to...
Derrick KinneyGUEST
So my two favorites, and I'll think of a bonus one, The Richest Man in Babylon by... by George Clayson, a book of fables about money.
Derrick KinneyGUEST
It's so practical.
Derrick KinneyGUEST
I tend to read it once a year.
Rachel NatukundaGUEST
Understand it more.
Rachel NatukundaGUEST
So in 2023, I read a book called The Richest Man in Babylon.
Rachel NatukundaGUEST
I don't know if you've read it.
Rachel NatukundaGUEST
I have read it.
Russ MorganHOST
There's been some really good things that's happened as a part of this learning and creating this environment.
Russ MorganHOST
And the goal is, you know, I read a book a long time ago, George Clayson's book, The Richest Man in Babylon.
Russ MorganHOST
Oh, classic, yeah.
Russ MorganHOST
We're going to have to do a podcast on this because this is a great book.
Kathleen DuBoisHOST
Think and Grow Rich, I've shared that many times, by Napoleon Hill.
Kathleen DuBoisHOST
And then another great little book, it is such an easy read, called The Richest Man in Babylon by a guy named George Clason.
Kathleen DuBoisHOST
I don't know if I'm saying his name right, but this is kind of a money classic.
Kathleen DuBoisHOST
And the subtitle is The Success Secrets of the Ancients, the Most Inspiring Book on Wealth Ever.
Mike BurkeHOST
And it reminds me of the book.
Mike BurkeHOST
I think it's The Richest Man in Babylon.
Mike BurkeHOST
Or is it The Alchemist? I'm not too sure.
Mike BurkeHOST
It's one of those books where he goes to, I think it's a sailor, and talks about buying jewels.
Scott DouglasHOST
I think it's The Alchemist.
Scott DouglasHOST
There's The Richest Man in Babylon and The Alchemist, but I think it's The Alchemist.
Scott DouglasHOST
He goes out and he has some jewels, but he talks to, I don't know if he was talking to a builder or something or a sailor about buying jewels, and he ends up losing his money.
Scott DouglasHOST
The whole... concept and moral of that story was that in order to get good advice you need to go to the people that actually have the good advice and why I say that is because people will start business or people will get into different parts of business and follow things like their parents or their friends but their parents might not know what's going on they might be a trusted person because they've raised them but what's the point in following their advice if they actually haven't done it before and it sounds really basic really basic, but I see it happening on a daily basis.

They don't have the distribution system of a mail system like we have in North America.

And I thought, wow, if I could provide these children with Kindles, find a way to charge up their Kindle through a solar-powered thing, and I could download the books in North America like Think and Grow Rich, The Richest Man in Babylon, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Ocean Strategies, all these different books, and download them on a Kindle and give it to a child, it would change the direction of their village.
Darren JacklinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Something so small.

So why do I bring this up? Because maybe tonight you have a call in your life that you wanna dedicate your life to a cause or a purpose greater than yourself.
Scott AnthonyGUEST
Don't look for that quick, hey, this guy's opening a business.
Scott AnthonyGUEST
I read a book and I recommend it to many people, The Richest Man in Babylon.
Danny GarciaHOST
Oh, yeah.
Danny GarciaHOST
Oh, yeah.
Bob Fabien ZingaGUEST
I think they say it's still the number one best-selling book for the self-help industry.
Bob Fabien ZingaGUEST
Anyway, and then there is also this one I read every year, The Richest Man in Babylon.
Bob Fabien ZingaGUEST
by George Clayson.
Bob Fabien ZingaGUEST
I think it really teaches you to handle money.
Curtis MayGUEST
So there's five principles.
Curtis MayGUEST
Or like if you all have read The Richest Man in Babylon, my business is I basically teach chapter two, right? The seven cures for a lean person, right? And so one of the strategies I'm known for is something called infinite banking.
Curtis MayGUEST
And then the tactic is the products that you need to implement that strategy.
Curtis MayGUEST
But the principles, what I find is that most people miss that because they're all excited about investing.
18 MINS LATER
Curtis MayGUEST
So the principles I name help our clients become and remain financially free.
Curtis MayGUEST
Right.
Curtis MayGUEST
And so it's based on a lot of the, you know, rich dad, poor dad, the, the, um, what's the other guy? Uh, George Clayson, the richest man in Babylon.
Curtis MayGUEST
So there are principles out there.
