Shoremates,

Welcome to part 2 of the Richest Man in Babylon!

Did you do the action steps for yesterday?  If not, it'll be well worth your time and is highly recommended to get the most out of this book.

Some pain points that we talk about during this episode are:

1. fickle fate is described as a viscous goddess who brings no permanent good to anyone.  She brings ruin upon almost every man to whom she showers unearned money and spend recklessly. Still others become misers and hoard all their wealth, living a life of fear and secret misery.
2. As for time, all men and women have it in abundance when they look for it, and have allowed sufficient amounts of time to slip past their fingers to make them ultra wealthy.

Some lessons learned when Algamish checked in on Arkad are:

1. Live upon less than you earn.
2. Seek advice from those who were competent through their own experiences to give it.
3. Learned to make money work for you.

Action Steps: 

1. Think about investments you've made in the past. Were the people who told you about them credible in those areas?
2. Are there any current opportunities that you can see? Are these opportunities from credible sources? If so, what are the action steps needed to take part of the opportunity?
3. Go through your finances (ouch!!) and see what changes you need to make in order to keep 10% and save up for future opportunities.

Always remember,

You've got this!
