spend and borrow to support a conspicuous lifestyle they cannot legitimately
afford.
In other words, people who suffer losses in property don’t lose money
because property investing entails high risk; they lose money because they fail
to learn and apply the principles of property investment analysis and personal
fi nancial management.
Education Precedes Success
Please ignore the advice of anyone who claims that owning property itself
will make you rich. Place the focus and responsibility for success on yourself.
Repeat these words: “If I educate myself, if I discipline my spending and
borrowing, if I learn the art and science of investing wisely, then through
property I can build as much wealth as I want (or need).”
Acquire the knowledge that opens your mind and stimulates entrepre-
neurial insight, and then follow through with action.
