As you may know, I am a huge fan of Beachbody. They are the company that are responsible for P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire, and so much more! As I started researching Beachbody, I fell in love with their company! I started following as many of their staff as I could! That is how I found Chalene Johnson, creator of Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam!

When I start following Chalene on Twitter, I really liked what she had to say. She shared a lot about motivation, productivity, marketing, branding, leadership, and more. Over time, I became a huge fan of Chalene.

I heard of this book through one of Jim Rohn’s talks on YouTube! I really enjoyed it! The book is by George S. Clason. 

This was a quick read! I read it in three sittings! It’s a financial advice book, but it is told through a story about the richest man in Babylon. He is hired by the King to teach the citizens of the Babylon how to become wealthy and successful! The principles he teaches are extremely simple and definitely work in today’s world.

I’d recommend this book to anyone looking to get their financial life in order. I know it’s helped me!

The Book Covers 7 Basic Principles for Finances and Success:

1) Start thy purse to fattening

2) Control thy expenditures

3) Make thy gold mutiply

4) Guard thy treasures from loss

5) Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment

6) Insure a future income

7) Increase thy ability to earn
