The Wealthy Family

"This book is not for the faint of heart. It is going to challenge you on many levels and will force you to examine the way you make decisions. (Not something that people get inherently excited about)..." - T. Glenn Bush, MBA "This is the first financial book I have seen that addresses how we make decisions. So often we think we don't have control--focus on what we can't do--instead of realizing every small choice we make makes a real difference. In an economy out of our control, we need a book like this." - Kimberly L. Schimmel, MLS 'The Wealthy Family' is about money, but it’s really about so much more than that. It’s about making prudent decisions. It’s about doing things because they’re right and honorable, not because they’re easy. It’s about rising above the median. The central question is this: how can we optimize our financial lives while properly integrating other areas of our life? "For most people, the guilt of not growing is easier to bear than the anxiety of continual growth." - Unknown An average man's financial, career, and life decisions are anchored in his worldview. His worldview is molded from his own experiences, beliefs - and largely - the beliefs of his family and friends, or the majority at-large. That majority (and probably this man's family and friends) are excellent at achieving mediocre results - financially and otherwise. Hence, our average man proclaims that he wants to reach his full potential - to achieve success in whatever endeavor he seeks. Yet, he is destined to unknowingly make decisions that will lead to these average results. The truth is we all have a naturally narrow perspective. When we make decisions on this perspective alone we are most certainly depriving ourselves of 'what could have been.' This book will challenge you to think differently - to read, to learn, to grow, and to think beyond what you currently know and believe. It will teach you to separate yourself form the majority by looking at situations and options objectively, outside of a narrow perspective. If nothing more, it will challenge you certain beliefs and cause deep introspection - an outcome that is always worthwhile.
