Here Are My “Foundational 5” Books To Become Rich & Wealthy

in LeoFinance3 years ago

These books form the Foundational Five. They will, when taken to heart, help you along the path to acquiring an Alchemist Mindset of abundance, prosperity and success!

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is Robert Kiyosaki’s story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

The Richest Man In Babylon, is based on “Babylonian parables”, and has been hailed as the greatest of all inspirational works on the subject of thrift, financial planning, and personal wealth. In simple language, these fascinating and informative stories set you on a sure path to prosperity and its accompanying joys. A celebrated bestseller, it offers an understanding and a solution to your personal financial problem. Revealed inside are the secrets to acquiring money, keeping money, and making money earn more money.

In his groundbreaking book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth, T. Harv Eker states: “Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!” Eker does this by identifying your “money and success blueprint.” We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. You can know everything about marketing, sales, negotiations, stocks, real estate, and the world of finance, but if your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money—and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it! The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success.

Think and Grow Rich has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.” It was the first book to boldly ask, “What makes a winner?” The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world’s winners himself.The most famous of all teachers of success spent “a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort” to produce the “Law of Success” philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.

Wallace D. Wattles wrote The Science of Getting Rich in the early 1900’s, almost one century plus two decades has passed since then and the book has found its resurgence into our present time as people rediscovers his teachings. Wallace had made swift declarations in his book that this is the ONLY book one needs to get rich. He even goes into saying that one should not read other books but simply focus their energy on the ‘energy work‘ that this book requires.

I hope you take this suggest seriously and read each one of these books in the next 6 weeks. Yes, I said 6 weeks and not 5! Even though there are only 5 books in this list, I strongly suggest giving yourself 2 weeks to get through, “Think and Grow Rich” as that book is a little bigger and the concepts can be hard to digest the first time around.

If you are new to the concept of reading a book a week then you will definitely want to join my Alchemist Mentorship Program or start off with my book, “BROKE TO A QUARTER MILLION: The Point is Not to Work, It’s to Generate Income“.

I look forward to seeing you at one of my LIVE EVENTS and if you have already read all the books in the Foundational 5 and you want MORE you can check the list of books that go along with the 52 Weeks To Wealth where I discuss my 52 Millionaire Wealth Principles.

I've read Rich Dad, Babylon and Think and Grow Rich. Those are some classics and some of the first few books that I read which resonated a lot with how I think - I definitely second your recommendations

The Science Of Getting Rich is my favorite from your list, but I am surprised to see it mentioned in LeoFinance, since it is a mindset book, who teaches you about becoming rich with your imagination.

I like how it mentions that there are always new ways to get rich. It talks about how many got rich during the building of the railroads, and how that had already paid out, so to concentrate on something new, like perhaps air travel.

Then I found CRYPTO and thought: "Crypto is my railroad system!"

Thank you for the list, I LOVE me some books.

I have read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" as well, and the way you have described the other books, my interest has risen (to heaven) and I am definitely going to read them, might not be in the given number of weeks, but it would depend on the available time, interest and how occupy/involve each of them keep me with.

I would add The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco. The author pokes some holes in some of the stories, like Kiyosaki. He goes through the mechanics of why people become rich. To me, it seems more practical and less mysterious.

Great list....Read them all myself!

I have always enjoyed 'As A Man Thinketh' by James Allen as well. I read it a few times every year....Great kick in the butt :)

I've read the first two and will now add the others to my Kindle. These books should be required reading in schools to expand financial awareness early on in order to avoid the mistakes one only realizes they made later in life.

The Rich Dad book is the one that shocked me the most, to learn how banks saw us and the importance of accumulating assests for our future.

Sir Wallace Wattles is pretty cool, I'd love to hear your take on it when you're done reading it.

I may just give it a brush up and do a book review.

I like book reviews, it makes it easier to choose if you don't have much time to read.

I have read the first 2 only but I keep reading the stories of people who create wealth for themselves.

This is interesting principle will dig into it.

@r1s2g3 The key to growing wealth is specialization and hyper focus. Diversification is to protect wealth and grow it slightly over the long term.
