LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS
If you want to learn how to cook, you study cooking. If you want to
be a lawyer, you study law. If you want to be an engineer or an ar-
chitect, you study engineering or architecture. And if you want to be
financially successful, you study others who have become financially
successful before you. You find out what they did, and you do the
same things, over and over, until you get the same results.
Making money is a 
skill
, like riding a bicycle or operating a com-
puter. Because it is a skill, it is therefore learnable by anyone who
wants to acquire wealth. If in the past you have accepted the false
idea that you cannot make or keep all the money you want, it is now
time for you to get rid of that idea. It is a false belief. It is time for
you to decide to become financially independent.

THE GREAT LAW
The Greek philosopher Aristotle first articulated the foundation
principle of Western philosophy in about 350 
B
.
C
. It became known
as the Aristotelian Principle of Causality. Today, we call it the Law
of Cause and Effect. This law says that for every effect in your life,
there are specific causes. It says that everything happens for a 
rea-
son
. Success is not an accident. Failure is not an accident, either.
What happens to you is not determined by luck or by coincidence.
It is the result of unchanging law.
My journey from unemployment and poverty to success and fi-
nancial independence started when I began to study the most suc-
cessful people in our society. My idea was simple: I would find out
what they had done to accomplish so much, and then I would do
the same things. Why reinvent the wheel? What I discovered
changed my life. It will change yours as well.
