Adventure Capitalist by Jim Rodgers I've read over 200 books on making money. 75% of the books were either useless, or flat-out wrong. But a handful changed my life. Today I'm going over the top 19 along with the most important lessons I learned from each one, and how these lessons can change your life as well. The goal is simple: I'm going to teach you how to make so much money that nobody can ever tell you what to do ever again. Here's how: We break it down into 4 steps: 1. Make it 2. Build it 3. Keep it 4. Enjoy it I'll tell you what each of those steps mean, and how you can get in the right mindset so you're on the path to growth, rather than the path of stagnation. Positive change requires effort, and if you don't believe change is even possible, then you're starting off with the wrong frame of mind. The destination can't be reached if you're traveling in the wrong direction--or worse, you're not traveling at all. Have you read any books that have positively affected your life? What lessons did you learn? Comment below! ----------------------------------------------------- Hi... I'm Codie. If we haven't met, I build and buy businesses and help you make money. I used to work on Wall Street and in Private Equity for too many years. Then I realized I'd rather YOU AND I own our businesses locally instead. So I built up Main Street Holding Company, Contrarian Thinking Capital & Co. Now, we own and grow dozens of businesses. My mission is to create 100,000 business owners and help 1 million of us build profitable businesses. I hope you’re one. Here's what I know for sure... those who say it's impossible should get out of the way of those of you who are doing it!! ❤️ If you want to grow your business... we got you: https://contrarianthinking.co/scaling-workshop/ If you want to buy a business... we help here: https://contrarianthinking.co/our-courses/ If you want a free guide on how... it's right here: https://info.contrarianthinking.co/smart-buyers-guide ---------------------------------------------------- The BE AN ADULT SECTION 🤗 All content on the Codie Sanchez YouTube channel reflects my own opinions and should NOT be taken as legal advice, financial advice, or investment advice.
