Attend Free Wealth Seminars

Part of learning the GAME OF MONEY is education. One simple and FREE way to expand our FINANCIAL EDUCATION is to attend seminars. I just attended a one day Celebrity Conference. The Celebrity Conference included the very first "Apprentice." The other celebrity was Ben Stein. Yes, THE Ben Stein. "Bueller.....Bueller..." The rest of the seminar consisted of so/so to AWESOME speakers. They spoke on the topics of asset protection, stock trading, real estate investing, tax lien certificates, even Ebay.

If you never attended a FREE Wealth Seminar before, let me tell you wassup.

1. PREPARE YOURSELF. Keep an opened mind. Be ready to learn something new. Don't assume you know it ALL. Even multimillionaires and billionaires admit to not knowing everything.

2. TAKE NOTES. This is part of being prepared. I bring a notebook and at least one pen with me to all seminars. ESPECIALLY THE ONES I PAID FOR. Sharing your paper and extra pen is always welcomed by your neighbors.

3. SPEAKERS ALWAYS SELL. Books. Tapes. Training. EXPECT THAT. As a salesman, I love being sold. Knowing myself, I can realistically focus on one, maybe two areas at a time. I suggest purchasing from only one speaker.

4. If you buy something, CONGRATULATIONS. Jump into it that night. And don't quit till you have mastered the program.

5. Bring BUSINESS CARDS. Seminars are a great way to network with other people.

6. RELAX AND HAVE FUN. Even if you don't buy anything. You will learn something. You will meet somebody. You may even get inspired.

Here's the next one for the Bay Area this weekend. Register Now!

Have fun! Tell me all about it.

WHAT'S NEXT???

"Go to school." "Get a good job." Do you remember hearing your parents saying that? I remember. I still hear it.

"Son, they've got jobs in China and Taiwan." WHAT KINDA JOBS, DAD? "Sales or account rep jobs." BUT SPEAKING AND WRITING IS GONNA BE MY NEXT BUSINESS. "That'll come later. You need to make money NOW!"

DAMMIT! THEY'VE GOT A GOOD POINT. That's why I've come out with these 2 pieces of brilliance.
1. For those of you interested in THE 5 HABITS OF MONEY book. It will consist of approximately 160 pages of tasty financial hor'deurves. Bite sized, microwaveable, delicious. Just the way you like 'em. My retail on this best selling paperback is $20. Since I'm preselling you get it for the AMAZING price of only $10. "WOW. Eugene are you out of your mind!" YES. YES, I AM MY FRIEND. GO AHEAD AND TAKE ADVANTAGE. Seriously, anyone who wants to preorder my book 10 bucks and personalization INCLUDED! Holla at me homies.

2. For those of you who are in college and want to hear me speak. I am available for a one hour engagement. That means I will engage all of you with my ferocious wit, cheerful banter, and massive intellect. I'm gonna show you things you've never seen or heard. Mainly it's about THE GAME OF MONEY. It's about what the game is, the object of the game and how to play the game to win. All for the incredible price of $1200. Peanuts in the speaking game. Bill Clinton averages $250,000 per engagement. I will do something strange for that kind of change. The best part of hearing me speak is that IT'S FREE! Just get your school to pay for it. The reality is that your "student fees" go towards student activities. And I am one of those "activities."


GO TO SCHOOL. GET A JOB. What's next, mom and dad?

That is precisely the problem. We went to school. We got a job. We got some money. But all we know what to do with it is MAKE IT and SPEND IT. You know what? Making and spending money are the first two habits of money. The first habit is HUSTLE. Create at least one source of income. Whether it's a job, a business or a student loan check. A HUSTLE IS ANY WAY YOU RECEIVE INCOME.

HAS ANYTHING IN SCHOOL PREPARED YOU TO PLAY THE GAME???

ARE YOU PLAYING THE GAME NOW???


DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE GAME IS???

Holla at me. I'd like to introduce you to the game. eugene@5habitsofmoney.com

THE FEAR OF MONEY

"It's all about the benjamins, baby!" If it is about the "benjamins," why don't we have more of it? And why does it seem we can't hold on to more of it? Could it be we just don't want a lot of money? "Mo money mo problems." right? More headaches. More paperwork. More complicated. More people trying to hit us up for cash. "Gosh! I don't want all that responsibility!" we say.

Imagine a tidal wave of cash headed straight towards you. What do you do? Do you run for your life? Do you stand and face it? If it catches up to you, it will overtake you. This tidal wave of cash, is more like a tide pool of money. Shallow and unmenacing. But we are so afraid of money that we won't even dip our toes in the tide pool. So we wait. And the tide pool dries up and vanishes, along with the money.

Are we that afraid of money? You may say "NO!" But your body, to quote the famous R. Kelly, is telling me YES! By us avoiding money, we tell God and the entire universe "DON'T LET ME BE RICH!" "DON'T GIVE ME A LOT OF MONEY." "I'M AFRAID OF IT."

Let's think about this for a second. Are we really afraid of money? Or are we really afraid of pissing it all away? What is fear, anyway? WE FEAR WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. So how do we move past our fear? LEARN ABOUT IT. UNDERSTAND IT. BE FRIENDS WITH IT. Once we learn more about money and what to do with it, our fear of money will vanish. What do we know about money so far? We know how to make money and spend money. THAT'S ALL WE KNOW.

You make money. You spend money. Congratulations! You're off to a great start. You already know the first two of THE 5 HABITS OF MONEY. Next, let's learn how to make more money and how to buy the right things with that money. When you learn and master THE 5 HABITS OF MONEY, you will become a MONEY MASTER. Money's gonna be scared of you! BOO!

THE 5 HABITS OF MONEY

1. HUSTLE: MAKE MONEY

2. FINANCIAL DIET: SPEND MONEY

3. PAY YOURSELF

4. PIMP YOUR DOLLARS

5. C.Y.A.

What are your fears about money? Having too much? Not having enough? Repeating the same mistakes?

What I learned from a billionaire and millionaire

The "DONALD" and "RICH DAD" have written a book together entitled "Why we want you to be rich." My first impression: Oh great..A multi millionaire and a billionaire trying to sell more books by putting their names and mugs on the cover.

After reading the book, my impression is: Thanks for writing the book, you guys! It's not as cheesy as I had pre-judged. I really felt the sincerity Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki shared in the book. I learned a lot from these guys. Thank you Critter.

If any of you have read any book written by these guys, you will agree that they are not the best writers in the world. But they sure are best selling authors. Especially Robert Kiyosaki, the man is a machine. Both men are masters at marketing and selling their individual brands. I recommend getting the book. Check it out here!

Here's what I learned from a billionaire and multi-millionaire:

1. Donald trump never really smiles in pictures.

2. Robert Kiyosaki lost a lot of weight.

3. Both are concerned with your financial future.

4. Both are concerned with the financial future of the United States.

5. They really care about you.

6. When it comes to Social Security and Medicare, the numbers don't add up.

7. The middle class is shrinking.

8. Your two choices are be rich or be poor.

9. Financial education is necessary.

10. All "financial advisors" are salespeople first.
