Business law is about the rules of the game. Ifyou look at any game,
there are always rules. and professional games always have a referee. Many
times, I have gotten into trouble, not because I am a crook, but simply

rules, the better chance you have ofwinning the game.

Ifyou can become good at budgeting, controlling the cash flowing to
your asset column, you will have a better chance ofbecoming rich. Ifyou
aregood at budgetingand understand control and leverage,you can become

budget or leverage and they have no COntrol.
So take a course or courses in accounting and business law. Knowing a
little about accounting and business law will probably make you better at
choosing good accountants and attorneys. (By the way, adults can do the
same thing in night school or at their local community colleges. And
regardless of age, you can join or form a CASHFLOW Club and take
control ofyour financial education.)

years of teaching who ever handed in his papers a week before they
