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

A year and a half ago I heard of P90X and started doing it. I fell in love! My fitness goal in life has always been to look good with my shirt off. I didn’t achieve that until I started using BeachBody products like P90X and Insanity. You can read my review of some of the programs, here.

I believe in the product so much that I actually started studying the company a lot. I found out that I could actually become a BeachBody Coach and make money by selling BeachBody products and helping people reach their physical goals. So I became a coach! It’s $15 a month, I get a 25% discount on Beachbody products, and I make commission every time I sell a workout program or shakeology! It’s a great deal!

Now, to be honest, it is a multi-level marketing company. To be even more honest, I’ve hated multi-level marketing companies for years! I’ve made fun of them, criticized them, and felt bad for people involved in them. Then I read this book, and Robert Kiyosaki said he recommend being in one for a period of time. In this video, he explains why:

Tony Horton, creator of P90X, actually blogged about BeachBody Coaches here. I really liked when he said, “Did you say multi level marketing? What? Ick! You mean pyramid scheme right? Okay chill out. All these fears would be true if BeachBody were selling hats or kitty liter, but this is Beachbody people! The number 1 in-home fitness company on the planet! P90X is steadily becoming the most popular fitness system in US history.”

If you’ve used BeachBody products, if they’ve changed your life, if you promote them to others, you should become a BeachBody Coach as well! If you’re interested, just let me know!

If you’re interested in buying BeachBody products like P90X & Insanity, or know someone that does, you can shop here!

If you or someone you know is interested in Shakeology, you can buy that here.

Now with all of that said, I will never put this in front of my walk with God or ministry. I will never meet with people with the sole purpose of going over these things or to ask them to become a coach. I’ll never tell anyone, “God told me to meet with you about an opportunity.” If someone is interested in getting in shape, making a little extra income on the side, or learning sales and they express interest, I’ll talk to them. I just wanted to make that clear, because the people that do that are the people that drive me nuts!

I recently started listening to Jim Rohn. I actually stumbled upon him by searching for him because he is the author of one of my favorite quotes: “Discipline is remembering what you want.”

I watched one video on youtube, then another, and another, and another. He’s changing my mindset on a lot of things. I’d highly recommend watching these videos. I believe if you’ll take the principles in them and apply them, you’ll have your best year ever!

Enjoy!
