How educating others forces you to expand your means
It all started at the dinner table. My family and I would read Robert T. Kiyosaki books, and my father was constantly exposing me to millionaires and billionaires, which expanded my thinking.
Outside of financially educating myself with my family, I spent much of my personal time exploring and educating myself about personal finance.
If I’m constantly reading books about finance, why not share the knowledge with others? It will save them time from having to read the books I’m reading, and it will help me retain the knowledge I’m being exposed to regularly.
Since I started to focus more of my writing efforts on finance, I’ve noticed how it has positively impacted my finances. Not only am I studying personal finance, but I’m digging into specific verticals such as the following:
Taxes
Business
Private Equity
Cryptocurrency
Rental Real Estate
There are so many spaces within personal finance that are intriguing for those who fancy this kind of stuff. A natural effect of investing in this type of knowledge will positively affect your finances.
Since I now write about finance so often, I need more topics to write about, which forces me to educate and expose myself to new concepts continually so that I can share the knowledge with others.
Here are a few differences I’ve noticed along the way since I’ve started to focus more of my writing on financial topics:
I have paid less in taxes since I started studying them. I recommend reading books by Tom Wheelwright and Mark J. Kohler.
I’m consistently investing in different cryptocurrency and blockchain companies – not to gain a quick buck, but for the long-term transformation the world is experiencing and about to experience.
Getting into rental real estate is no longer a pipe dream with the proper tools and knowledge. It also doesn’t take a ton of capital. One woman only buys homes worth 30k or less and has built a real estate empire in return.
Writers should leverage a business model that works best to save on taxes and help expand their business by taking advantage of someone else’s money. Robert T. Kiyosaki gained most of his wealth by using other people’s money to buy liabilities that soon turned into assets. For example, he bought his first property in Hawaii with a down payment made via credit card. Eventually, he sold the property making infinite returns because he didn’t even use one single dime of his own money.
