For those of you who do not know who Adam Khoo is,Guest Posting let me do a brief introduction about him – Adam Khoo is the founder of “Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group”, Singapore’s most prominent and prestigious training company, running leading personal-development programmes for students, professionals, executives and business owners. Some of his corporate clients include Tupperware, American International Insurance, Prudential, Lux Asia, Rolls Royce Marine and many more. Adam Khoo attained the millionaire status by the age of 26 and is a multi-millionaire today.
I’ll like to share with you some of the things I read from “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” which really inspired me.
Possibility of becoming a millionaire
Adam shared with us in the book that it is POSSIBLE for us to become millionaires. Many people have this perception that it is much easier to become millionaires in the past. However, the truth is there are much more millionaires now compared to the past. Therefore, it is today that YOU TOO can become a millionaire !
Reading
One of the many things I learnt from the “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” was the importance of reading. If you are completely new to the topic of Internet Marketing, or even if you want to find out more on how to make money on the Internet, I would like to strongly urge you to grab a copy of “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”. “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” give us a very good overview on Internet Marketing to help us get started.
I could not have stressed the importance of reading. We have to constantly read to improve ourselves, to learn new paradigms, to learn new ways to make money, etc.
To be frank with you, before I read Adam’s book, I only managed to finish reading at most 1 or 2 books every year !
However, after reading “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”, I became dubai millionaire obsessed with reading, especially on books teaching us how to make money, how to improve our attitude (Having the right attitude is important to help us focus our mind to make money), etc.
Whenever I step into a shopping centre, the first thing I’ll look out for is the bookshop. I’ll spend half of my time in the shopping centre in that bookshop to look around for any new business-related and self-improvement books. I will not hesitate to buy the book if I find it interesting. Many people can spend hundreds of dollars buying luxuries, such as mobile phones, clothes, DVDs, CDs, etc. without even thinking twice ! However, when it comes to buying books, they will tend to hesitate whether to buy or not. They’ll think over and over again. I really don’t understand why. Books are actually assets. Why do I call them assets ? Because books, especially those about money making or self-improvement, teaches us something, and we can apply what we have learnt in the books to make even more money than we actually can ! That’s why I always treat books as assets.
However, things like mobile phones, clothes, video games, electronic equipment, etc. are actually liabilities, because these things NEVER generate any profits for you. These things only depreciate in value as time goes on.
For your information, I now make it a point to read AT LEAST 1 book every month. That way, I make sure I’ll learn something new, which I can apply and help make even more money every month.
I would like to share with you one more point about reading – there is no point reading so many books if we do not take action to apply the knowledge we learnt from them. It will be a complete waste of time to only read and not apply what we’ve learnt from the books.
