Education makes the difference!

In my past entries I’ve been harping on the need to get a financial education, on the need for you to DECIDE to STOP BEING A VICTIM and get on the road to creating your own financial future and until now I have not talked about how to start the process of educating yourself.Before I reveal how I started, let me destroy some myths about understanding financial statements and getting a

financial education.I’m not an accountant, financial planner or other financial guru. Well here is the interesting thing, many of the people that are financial planners etc, don’t know how to read financial planners either.

Financial Planners are typically just certified sales people so they are only responsible for selling you products and getting their commission. Accountants understanding P&L statements and balance statements often don’t understand the relationship between the two, so if thats the case where do you learn.

For most people investing is like giving money to a stranger in the street and making him promise to come back ten years later with more money. Fat chance.So, you owe it to yourself, your family, your kids and grandkids, to get a financial education. You owe it to all of them to teach yourself and then teach them.

To live your life the way you want to , to be able to give yourself and your family the best you can , to be successful , its important to learn from the people who are already successful . Now what is success all about, I guess it depends on person to person. Get inspired , Believe in yourself and your dreams and make them a reality.
