About Building Wealth

Consider

I love the way that each book โ€” any book โ€” is its own journey. You open it, and off you go.
— Sharon Creech

When in my twenties, Napoleon Hillโ€™sย Think and Grow Richย struck me as tedious. Several decades later, when I tried the book again, I understood Napoleon Hill was describing how to achieve something more enriching, of which financial wealth could be a by-product.

Sinceย Think and Grow Richย was published in 1937, quite a few have followed Hillโ€™s lead. Followingย Succeed and Soarโ€™sย Path to Joy #2 postย about material wealth, a talented, young man mentioned he was readingย Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He accepted my invitation to explore three books and offer:

  1. A meaningful quote
  2. Two insights he gained
  3. What he liked best

B J wasย  pleased to review these books because he’s found that aย ย lot of us work our tails off all our lives and then, when we are supposed to reap the rewards of our labors, many can’t afford it. Dreams die. These books offer alternatives.


Angel Wealth Magic,ย 

Simple Steps to Hire the Divine

by Corin Grillo

โ€œMaking the conscious choice to be wealthy can allow you to create an extraordinary shift inside yourself.โ€

One BJ Insight:
  • I never sought the spiritual side to becoming wealthy or understand that possibility exists. This book challenged me to rethink money and how powerful intention and faith is to attracting wealth.
Another BJย Insight
  • Ms.Corin also recognizes that angels can help attain wealth, which includes acknowledging and respecting ancestors.
Whatย BJ liked aboutย Angel Wealth Magic:
  • I enjoyย Angel Wealth Magicย because it really encourages me to be intentional with my prayers, wishes and desires, and also promotes respect and gratitude for The Creator and all Created. I was made aware of the importance of theย Law of Attractionย and how it is REAL!


Rich Dad, Poor Dad
What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money
Robert T. Kiyosakiโ€œIn order to retire young and retire rich, I had to reject some of my own familyโ€™s reality before I could adopt and find my own realitiesโ€
One BJย Insight
  • I learned the importance of stepping back from traditions and analyzing practices around me. This book showed me that beliefs and habits that have been passed down can repel wealth and financial success.
Another BJ’Insight
  • Rich Dad, Poor Dadย opened my eyes to how most Americans retire poor, with less money and worse health than in their younger years. This realization helped me recognize the importance of living wisely, being less greedy, and working hard while enjoying life with extreme gratitude.
Whatย BJ liked aboutย Rich Dad, Poor Dadย :
  • I love this book because it shares information I hadnโ€™t been taught. I learned about Real Estate and its importance. Also the importance of believing and gaining enough knowledge to one day โ€œRetire Young and Retire Rich.โ€


The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams
by Deepak Chopraโ€œRelinquish your attachment to the known, step into the unknown, and you will step into the field of all possibilities.โ€
One BJ Insight:
  • The art of detachment has been something Iโ€™ve heard with the connotation, โ€œDenounce the world and all thatโ€™s in it.โ€Fortunately, meditation guru Jay Shetty was my professor in this concept. He reinforced whatย The Seven Spiritual Laws of Successย teaches, โ€œTrue detachment is when you are close to everything and not letting it consume and own you.โ€
Another BJ Insight:
  • This book reminds me to be introspective and grounded, to seek and answer the life-changing questions that can give my life meaning, purpose and definition.
Whatย BJ liked aboutย The Seven Spiritual Laws of Successย :
  • I love any book that incorporates wisdom. It makes me snicker because my middle name is Solomon.The Seven Spiritual Laws of Successย is not just about financial or physical, or mental success. Itโ€™s about the focus that leads to self discovery, the cultivation and nurturing of the person you truly want to be.

About BJ Armbrister

I am an entrepreneur and creative based near Atlanta GA and never thought about how my environment affects my desire to claim the wealth that I feel is meant for me.

These books helped me realize that I have compared myself to others too much and set overly high expectations. While good for my drive, they were bad for my mental state.

Years of mindfulness training reminded me that my path is my own and meant for me. And, I have to be more joyous and appreciate what I have. Also, by embracing gifts already received, I will definitely be blessed with more.
