It's a classic book that has produced multiple millionaires! The information you receive from this book is vital for success in life and business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend reading it several times with a notebook. That's how I read a book. I buy or borrow a book and then I go to the dollar store and buy a hard-cover notebook that I use to write myself notes as I read. I then go back every few months or days and re-read what I wrote. I find this really helps me get into my spirit what is being said, because unless it becomes a part of our subconscious, we won't act on it consistently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend reading "THINK AND GROW RICH" several times for your success in life and business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--&lt;br /&gt; amzn_cl_tag="gammalinda-20";&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://cls.assoc-amazon.com/s/cls.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the books from Amazon.com and order it today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;Read on...&lt;br /&gt;Linda Cross&lt;br /&gt;lindasblogs@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mainstreamhomebasedbusiness.com"&gt;www.mainstreamhomebasedbusiness.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.3dselfimage.com"&gt;www.3dselfimage.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5109497269570155595-212733997761446352?l=booksforsuccess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://booksforsuccess.blogspot.com/feeds/212733997761446352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5109497269570155595&amp;postID=212733997761446352' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5109497269570155595/posts/default/212733997761446352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5109497269570155595/posts/default/212733997761446352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://booksforsuccess.blogspot.com/2008/07/think-and-grow-rich.html' title='Think and Grow Rich'/><author><name>Linda C</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02537932005861384399</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Izollcc7_lI/Sp1JI_K4IKI/AAAAAAAAAHw/rdH4Q-Rvt5U/S220/linda+new+pic+new+hair+favorite.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109497269570155595.post-1071853136103839234</id><published>2008-06-22T21:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-22T21:35:25.173-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books for success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='robert kiyosaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fight back those high gas prices'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='why people fail when it comes to money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rich dad poor dad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='how to handle money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='having financial difficulty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='high gas prices'/><title type='text'>Having Financial Difficulties?  Hate to Read?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;If you are like me, you probably need to learn a few things about finances, but when you picked up a book about finances, you just thumbed through it and put it back down because it was too difficult to understand!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;I know there are people who like to read those kind of books and God bless them!  We need people like that.  My husband can sit down and comprehend all the details, I'm just not like him.  In fact, that's why we are together, he's my opposite and we need each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Anyway, back to my story...I finally found a great book on finances that will keep you interested and give you great information that can get you on the road to financial freedom.  The book that I was able to read and comprehend is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki.  What I love about the book is that it is a story of Robert's real dad and his adopted (when it comes to finances) dad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;His "rich" dad was his friends dad who taught him all about money and how to handle it.  He even gave the boys projects that they had to do in order for him to teach them more.  They both wanted to be rich and "rich dad" took the time to teach them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;This book is not only filled with lots of valuable information, it's really fun and interesting reading.  You want to find out how the boys did!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;I highly recommend this book and all of Robert Kiyosaki's books.  I've found them all interesting reading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Until next time....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Linda Cross&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;lindasblogs@gmail.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5109497269570155595-1071853136103839234?l=booksforsuccess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://booksforsuccess.blogspot.com/feeds/1071853136103839234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5109497269570155595&amp;postID=1071853136103839234' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5109497269570155595/posts/default/1071853136103839234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5109497269570155595/posts/default/1071853136103839234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://booksforsuccess.blogspot.com/2008/06/having-financial-difficulties-hate-to.html' title='Having Financial Difficulties?

Maybe you are already leading some people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;If you are a mom or dad, you are leading your children.  We are leading people everyday in some way.  The question is: "Are we a good or great leader?"  I don't know about you, but for me, I want to be a great leader.  Not for myself or for the fame, but because I realize that when we lead we are impacting people's lives!  I want to lead people in a positive direction! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;I've recently went through an "Advanced Leadership Training" with Klemmer and Associates.  I was SHOCKED to learn about myself and my wrong beliefs regarding leadership and myself!  It was a love/hate revelation. I loved how empowered I felt after the training, but I didn't like seeing the junk in my life that had to go and change!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;Today, I'm very grateful for the unveiling of truth in my life.  I feel like a better leader.  Not a perfect leader, but a more informed leader.   I recommend highly, if you are a leader, or want to be one to check out an advanced leadership training.  Also, what has impacted my life in a very positive way is a study on the book of Proverbs.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;Proverbs was written by King Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived.  He teaches his son the most important things we should know to live a profitable, happy and satisfied life.  I only wish I would have spent more time studying it when I was younger, because I know I would of made some smarter decisions and had  less pain in my life.  But, I'm thankful that I can study right now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;One book that I want to recommend today is: "Launching a Leadership Revolution"by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward.  It's a great book and it will give you some really get leadership principles.   I have also joined a leadership CD of the month club.  That has really been a great source of inspiration and education.  I recommend you check that out too. If you don't know of one. I'd be glad to tell you more about the one I'm getting.

I've been told that a great percentage of people never pick up a book after they graduate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can a book do for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Books can change our lives! All it takes is one idea to turn our lives in a positive direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what one book did for my life! I was newly married, 17 or 18 years old, with a little boy and 2,000 miles from home. Homesick, depressed, frustrated, and feeling sorry for myself, I was taking my frustrations out on my husband and child, and then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, someone introduced me to a book called, "The Magic of Thinking Big". &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I read it and my whole world opened up! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before reading this book, I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; didn't realize I could think differently. No one had ever told me that. What a change it made. I started implementing what I had learned and what a change it made! I started looking at my situation in a more positive way and it changed the way I acted toward my husband and child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm forever grateful for books. I'd rather go into a library or bookstore than and candy store! To be able to gain a new positive thought that can change my life in another positive direction, it's exciting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have learned through reading these past 32 years, I've learned that I act over 90% based on what's in my subconscious, not just in my conscious. So, what my beliefs are, based on what I've put into my subconscious in the past 32 years, that's what I'm acting on. If I want my life to be better tomorrow, I must continue to put into my subconscious good things, through reading books and listening to great &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;CD's&lt;/span&gt;! I hooked on books!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's some books to check out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abraham, Jay - GETTING EVERYTHING YOU CAN OUT OF ALL YOU'VE GOT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;iframe style="WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=gammalinda-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=0312284543&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The Magic of Thinking Big&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;iframe style="WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=gammalinda-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=0671646788&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--  amzn_cl_tag="gammalinda-20";  amzn_cl_exact_match=1; //--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://cls.assoc-amazon.com/s/cls.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Allen, James - AS A MAN &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;THINKETH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--  amzn_cl_tag="gammalinda-20";  amzn_cl_exact_match=1; //--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://cls.assoc-amazon.com/s/cls.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;iframe style="WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=gammalinda-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=158509305X&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I will continue to let you know about other books I recommend.&lt;br /&gt;Have a successful day!
