Let's Talk Money

 

It’s our own responsibility to learn about money. It’s not school, it’s not our families it’s not our partners. It’s us.

 

On this blog, we’ll talk about hustling, books and the fundamental concepts you’ll need to learn about money. We will share whatever we learn on our own so that you don’t have to start everything from scratch.

 

Remember, it’s our own responsibility to  educate ourselves.

Shoe Dog: The Story of Nike

Shoe Dog: The Story of Nike

I’ve always loved Nikes since childhood so reading the book “Shoe Dog” by Philknight is a must read for me. It’s practically the story of Nike’s rise to fame. I made it a point to read and have takeaways from entrepreneurs I look up to. I mean, how do you even start a shoe company let alone expand to new products that all the celebrity athletes come to love? How’d Phil Knight build Nike into a powerhouse athletic company? I’m sure there were other more popular shoe brands back in the day. How do you compete with them? We’ll dive right in on some of the key points I read from Shoe Dog.

So Good They Can’t Ignore You Book Review

So Good They Can’t Ignore You Book Review

One thing that I’ve proven to make me realize if my thoughts are facts is to try and defend the opposite of the fact. Cal Newport’s book “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” is the exact definition of what I do. Newport states that the “Do what you love” hypothesis for career success is wrong. He states that you should love what you do and then expand your knowledge to acquire rare skills that society values in order to get more money out of your job.

How to Get Everything You Want: The 48 Laws of Power Book Review

How to Get Everything You Want: The 48 Laws of Power Book Review

There are many books on mindset, hustling, marketing and sales but very few are written about POWER. In Robert Greene’s best selling book “The 48 Laws of Power” he discusses just about every tactic there is in order to gain power. Now you might ask, “Why would I want power? I’m happy just minding my own business!” And to this we’re saying, you’re wrong. Power is everywhere and you will have to deal with it whether you like it or not. We use power to negotiate deals, to get a favorable outcome, to land an “impossible” outcome and ultimately to get what we want. Some say that Robert Greene is the modern day Machiavelli. Some say that this book is so manipulative that Robert is pure evil. This book is so powerful that they banned it in some prisons!

Ask any person what’s the best self-help, motivational, get-rich book and you will hear most of them mention 2 books.
