DEVELOP A MILLION DOLLAR MINDSET “A fool and his money are soon parted.” King Solomon Why are so many Lotto winners broke after a few years?  How can one win millions of dollars only to see it all go away within a few years? Because you can’t put a Million Dollar income into a $20,000 mindset. They were not mentally prepared for a million dollars. They may have taken advice from people more broke than they were. Maybe they asked their poor parents what to do with the money.  Whatever they did this much is true; they lost it all. Here are some tips to help you prepare for the Millions that await you. 1.       Watch what poor people do and don’t do it, that’s why they are poor. 2.      Never take financial advice from people with less money than you. 3.      Pay yourself first. 4.      Read success books. 5.      Play financial games. 6.      Start saving now. No matter how small. 7.      Act now.

	PLAY MONEY TYPE GAMES * “Train up a child in the way he shall go and when he is old he shall not depart it”  King Solomon * Certain animals bring live food to their young in hopes that they will learn how to deal with them once they are older. They know how important it is to teach their young survival skills now so they can be successful once they are on their own. Shouldn’t you do the same? * While traveling across the country, we visit many states and neighborhoods. As we come across certain houses or communities, my kids ask me ‘where on the Monopoly board would these houses be? My wife and I make sure our kids play games that teach them how to be a business owner. They play games them allow them to build businesses, run companies, and hire employees. * Some say you should start at the bottom and work your way to the top. That’s true. But the bottom should start when they are young and at home without the worry of bills and taxes. That way they can start at the head of the line instead of the bottom. Why, because as youth they would have mastered the leadership skills necessary to organize, hire, and manage people. * Here are some of the games I recommend. Some are PC based games and all can be played by every member of the family.
