Knowing how to profit from debt was preparing me for the I
quadrant.

So in 1973 I signed up for my first real estate investment

course. In 1974, I left the Marine Corps and joined the
Xerox Corporation to learn how to sell. I worked at Xerox
for four years. I left only after I became number one in
sales. Both of these educational programs have made me a
multimillionaire over and over again. These are skills
generally not taught in schools.

Hire a coach.
The three most important things to me are health, wealth,
and happiness. For each of these areas of my life, I have a
coach. I know that affording a coach may be difficult,
especially if money is tight. Yet, if you are to be a true

entrepreneur, you can’t afford to let the lack of money stop
you. Rather than say, “I can’t afford a coach,” use your
creative mind to find a way to make it happen, especially
for the things that are important in your life. If I had
allowed my “I can’t afford it” thoughts to stop me, I’d be
poor, unhealthy, and unhappy today.

Don’t work for money.
I know this sounds strange to most people, yet in these
words are the secrets to tremendous wealth. If you have
read Rich Dad Poor Dad, you may recall that rich dad’s

very first lesson was: The rich don’t work for money. One
reason why most E’s and S’s struggle with money is because
they work for money. You’re probably wondering, “If I
don’t work for money, what do I work for? How do I eat and
put a roof over my head?” All good questions. Here’s the
answer.
