If  you  are  not  a  generous  person,  then  you  may  want  to  begin  personal
                development  in  that  area.  You  simply  must  want  to  make  other  people
                money  and  include  them  in  the  bounty  of  what  you  are  building  if  you
                want to have the Midas Touch.


                A Final Thought
                If I had known how much I had to learn, I might never have started my
                career  as  an  entrepreneur.  It  is  much  easier  to  be  an  employee.  Yet,  in
                retrospect,  becoming  an  entrepreneur  has  been  the  best  educational
                program I have ever gone through—and I continue to learn.


                Is it worth it? As hard as the process was and continues to be, for me, it
                has been well worth it. It has provided me:


                                  Unlimited wealth
                                  Although it was difficult at the start, today Kim and I have
                                  plenty of money to live the life we choose to live.
                                  Global freedom

                                  Being  a global entrepreneur  allows me the  freedom  to  do
                                  business throughout the world.
                                  Great friends

                                  Had  I  not  become  an  entrepreneur,  I  would  not  have  met
                                  great  entrepreneurs  such  as  Donald  Trump,  Steve  Forbes,

                                  and Oprah Winfrey.
                                  Peace of mind

                                  Unlike  my  poor  dad  who  always  worried  about  money  or
                                  losing his job, I don’t. I am no longer a slave to money.


                  My  rich  dad  often  said,  “If  you  gave  everyone  in  the  world  a  million
                dollars and told them they had a year to spend all of it, most people could

                complete that task.

                “Yet if you asked everyone in the world, ‘Starting with nothing, can you
                acquire a million dollars in a year?’ only a very few could. And the few
                would probably be entrepreneurs.”
