Picture this: a piece of alien technology that we humans somehow got control of that allows us to pick any successful person alive or dead from this world, from Elon Musk to the Roman emperors to the Chinese generals from 251 BC, and extrapolate their knowledge into a digestible thing that you could consume.

Picture this: a piece of alien technology that we humans somehow got control of that allows us to pick any successful person alive or dead from this world, from Elon Musk to the Roman emperors to the Chinese generals from 251 BC, and extrapolate their knowledge into a digestible thing that you could consume.
That technology would be pretty impressive, and it would probably be gate-kept by the elite so that we couldn’t get our hands on it.
Well, what if we told you that we could get our hands on it and that technology does exist and costs roughly $10 a piece?
Yes, we’re talking about books because when they're put in that frame, it sounds pretty damn cool.
So here are four of them that, when read in order, can have a profound impact on your early life as an aspiring entrepreneur.
RICH DAD, POOR DAD
Rich Dad, Poor Dad is an all-time classic.
This book has sold over 40 million copies in 100 different countries and is like the staple of finance books.
It takes you from knowing absolutely nothing to being awoken in the world of entrepreneurship, assets and liabilities, trading your time for money, and so much more.
It sounds boring, but this book is the concrete foundation to build everything on top of.
It corrects your beliefs in how you should view money, which is like creating the snowball that you’re about to push down the hill to create an avalanche.
THE MILLIONAIRE FASTLANE
The majority of old finance books you’ll pick up all stick to the same idea of working hard, being very smart with investing your money, and retiring in your late 40's, which is still considered early retirement, but the millionaire fast lane goes completely against the grain; it flips it on its head and really teaches you how you can retire in your late 20’s instead.
It’s also a modern book, which means it understands the principles of the internet and internet money.
The author gives you a first-hand case study of how he built a business in his 20s and sold it for 10s of millions in his 30s, and goes on to teach you how you can do the same.
DOT COM SECRETS
Dot-com secrets are an absolute staple in the world of making money online, written by one of the pioneers of making money online.
It's not about theory or ‘learn a skill and make money from it'; it literally grabs your hand and teaches you how to sell something online, how to create a product, get customers, build out a funnel, upsell your customers, retain your customers, and this may all sound like rubbish, which it probably should because this information is so golden you won’t already know it.
$100M OFFERS
The final book is the last building block; it's the book that will teach you how to create a service that people would want and create an offer around that service that makes people want to buy it.
It's not timeless, as the principles in it will most likely change, but for this moment in time right now, it's perfect, and if you read the three previous ones in order and ended on this one, you would have put your knowledge on a tee, and this book allows you to take action and just finishes it off perfectly.
ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:
Well, what you waiting for? your actionable next step is to get these books and get to reading, here are some links:
LESSON OF THE DAY ⤵️
“How do you know when enough is enough? Like whats enough money, a good enough body, a good enough life?”
Your ‘enough’ is going to be different from everyone else's, which means the most important thing is to not measure your success by someone else's standards.
Create goals for yourself that make sense to you; for example, don’t aim for'more money'; aim for financial freedom; and spend the time to work out what financial freedom means to you.
How much money do you need to have? What would you spend that money on? The more specific you can be, the more content you will be when you reach that goal.
