“1. Don’t work for money; work to create assets that generate money. 2. Know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy assets. Only buy another liability if you first buy or create an asset that generates enough cash to pay for it. 3. Make putting things in your asset column your first priority, before what your employer, government, and bank want. 4. Study accounting, investing, economics, and law. This will allow you to recognize opportunities and methods to successfully build wealth, such as the use of 1031 exchanges and corporate structures. 5. Most people buy packaged investments. The rich create investments by assembling a deal themselves – finding an opportunity, raising money, and organizing people. 6. Take a job only for the skills it will teach you, never for the money it pays you.”
