MY “GO-TO” AMAZING FINANCIAL SUCCESS BOOKS FOR MY FELLOW FILIPINOS

Bago ko i-share ang mga financial success books na dapat mong basahin, narito ang ilang nakakagulat na statistics:

If you took 100 Filipinos, by the age of 65,

• only one will be rich (isa lang ang yayaman).
• 4 would be successful (apat ang magiging matagumpay).
• 35-40 had died (35-40 ang patay na).
• And the rest would be dead broke (at ang natira ay walang ipon o bankrupt na).

I don’t know about you, but those are terrible odds, wouldn’t you agree?

Kaya, kung naghahangad kang kumita ng mas maraming pera kaysa sa karamihan ng mga Pinoy, masasabi ko sa iyo, ang lahat ay nagsisimula sa iyong isip.

I was a millionaire in my head before I ever became one on paper.

There are a few financial success books I’ve read over the years that helped me achieve multi-millionaire status, and today I’m going to share them with you. Kaya, magsimula na tayo!

Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki

This book follows the childhood life of author Kiyosaki, a child from an average American family, at ang kanyang paghahanap na matuklasan kung paano yumaman.

Natutunan niya ang tungkol sa pera mula sa dalawang lalaki sa kanyang buhay paglaki.

One was his father (his poor dad), and the other was a friend’s father (his rich dad).

Ang natuklasan niya ay magkaiba ang paraan ng pag-iisip ng dalawa.

While his poor dad advised him to study hard and get a job…

His rich dad taught him not to work, as it’s the rich who have employees and assets working for them.

Natuklasan niya ang pagkakaiba ng assets at ng liabilities.

He discovered the difference between being an employee, a business owner, someone who’s self-employed, and an investor, and which ones you want to be if you want to become rich.

Natuklasan din niya ang katotohanan tungkol sa passive income, at marami pang iba. This book is essential to gaining the mindset of an entrepreneur and an investor.

Richest Man in Babylon – George S Clason

Itinuturing na personal finance classic, naglalaman ang aklat na ito ng 7 timeless financial principles, na magbabago sa iyong buhay sa malaking paraan.

The short stories inside share wealth building secrets used by financially successful people throughout history.

It covers simple strategies such as saving 10% of your income.

Paano kontrolin ang iyong mga gastos. How to make your money work for you and much more!

The Latte Factor – David Bach

One day, Bach, who was teaching a course on personal finance overheard one of the attendees say she didn’t have any money to invest.

This attendee said this as she sipped a latte.

The premise of the book is that if you skip a daily expense such as a latte, and instead invest the money you save…

Sa paglipas ng panahon, mapaparami mo ang perang iyon nang maraming beses.

Sa libro, itinuro ni Bach kung bakit hindi mo kailangang maging mayaman para mabuhay nang mayaman.

Among the lessons you’ll learn inside are:

1. How to manage your small money. Paano pamahalaan ang iyong maliit na pera.
2. How to overcome the false beliefs about money and how to get into the mindset to live rich. Paano madaig ang mga maling paniniwala tungkol sa pera at kung paano pumasok sa mindset na mamuhay ng mayaman.
3. How to make your dreams come true, by applying the 3 principles of financial freedom. Paano matupad ang iyong mga pangarap, sa pamamagitan ng paglalapat ng 3 prinsipyo ng kalayaan sa pananalapi.
4. At marami pang iba!

The Success System That Never Fails – W Clement Stone

Isinulat ng isang kahanga-hangang salesperson, ibinahagi ni Stone ang kanyang kuwento pati na rin ang maraming iba pang kwento ng tagumpay.

He states there is a recipe of success that always works.

That recipe includes 3 steps, which are

1. Inspiration to action. Inspirasyon sa pagkilos.
2. Know how. Kaalaman, at
3. Activity knowledge. Kaalaman sa gawain

Ang sistemang ito ay batay sa “success indicators”, which in his case were his sales records.

Stone documented what worked for him, as well as phrases his customers responded to.

This book is well worth your time.

Principles – Ray Dalio

Noong 2015, tinantya ng Forbes na ang net worth ni Dailo ay humigit-kumulang $15.4 bilyon.

Dahil dito, siya ang pangalawang pinakamayamang hedge fund manager behind George Soros.

In Principles, Dalio states that his success is governed by a set of principles he created for his life and business.

One of the core life principles Dalio mentions is embracing reality, no matter how difficult it may be.

Ang pagkakaroon ng isang tunay na layunin sa iyong isip ay isa pang paraan upang matiyak ang tagumpay.

When you have a carefully selected goal and everything revolves around you achieving this goal, you’re far more likely to achieve it.

Having radical truth in your life is another key principle Dalio speaks of in his book.

Your ability to be honest with yourself in any situation allows you to course correct where necessary, which allows you to evolve.

The principles you create for your own life help you make decisions no matter whether your situation is favorable or unfavorable.

Be sure to give Principles a read and apply what you learn. I guarantee your life will improve year on year.
