Tim Ferris - The New Rich - Best Selling Author

Timothy Ferris is probably best known for his book "The 4-hour workweek".
In this book he talks about the New Rich and the importance of having more free time.
I highly recommend this book because it will make you think.

You can learn a lot from this man. He is young, he is rich and he is cool.

Now, traditional thinking sucks. And if you want to be poor, tired, stressed etc., go that way. The sad truth is you can't learn to be what you are dreaming to be if you listen to people without a clue and people who have the old mindset. Because we are living in the information age, we have the tremendous opportunity to have access to some of the world's best sources for information. Successful people ca give you the shortcuts.

Tim Ferris is a guy who thinks outside the box. He is constantly using his brain to succeed in things and tasks where he does not have any experience. Ultimately he has built the life he had wanted for himself. And building a life is the ultimate goal for everyone.

This is a 1h+ interview with him. If you have time, watch it.

Books To Read In Order To Become Financially Successful

We have written about films to watch in order to condition yourself (conditioning is huge!!!) to become successful. We also have to talk about books. There are tons of books out there that are really good and the best thing is you don't have to pay a lot to get them. The business and marketing books usually cost between $5 and $20 so there is no excuse not to read some of them. Some of them are even shared for free online.

So here are some recommendation...

Books To Read In Order To Become Financially Successful

- All books by Donald Trump
examples: The Art Of The Deal; Think Big; How to Get Rich; Never Give Up ... etc

- All books by Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad advisors
examples: Rich Dad, Poor Dad; The Cashflow Quadrant; Choose to be Rich; Unfair Advantage

- Marketing books by Philip Kotler

- "The Millionaire Messenger" by Brendon Burchard

- "The Art Of War" - Sun Tzu (it's military book)

- "Sun Tzu and the Art of Business: Six Strategic Principles for Managers" by Mark R. McNeilly

- "What Would Machiavelli Do?" by Stanley Bing

- Any Microeconomics manual with the basics

OK so this is just an example list of some very good books you can get valuable information from. I'm not saying read all these books and you will be fine. Books alone will NOT make you rich and successful but they can give you the right mindset and the right direction.

That's it.
