Books Add comments

The Richest Man in Babylon is a book written in the 1920s by George S. Clason which has been and is still being read around the globe. It has been rewritten by Fred Siegel as The Richest Man in Babylon for Today. It was the book that opened our eyes and caused dramatic changes in our lives. It is said that over two million copies have been sold. Some people (like us) just read it in this 21st century and it has had tremendous impact in their lives while there are those who read it over twenty years ago and yet there is no visible change in their present situation in life. Why this difference?

As in every thing in life, for there to be a change there must be a reaction to something or someone. So what is that something in The Richest Man in Babylon that seems to work for some and yet remain inactive for others?

It is simple and it is its simplicity that causes it to be missed by many. The secret is to ensure that no matter what your situation is, you strive to put aside at least 10% of your income to invest in something that would yield more money. If however, you’ve read the book but have no means of livelihood it would mean you would have to start doing something that would bring income into your hands and then begin to set aside at least 10% of it to invest in other worthwhile ventures that would not involve you physically working to produce the increase desired. Today such worthwhile ventures would include investing in the stock markets, mutual funds, treasury bills etc.

Definitely The Richest Man in Babylon would not work for you if:

 

  • After reading the book, you make no attempts to get something doing that would bring income into your hands and pockets.
  • You do not make attempts to increase your earning potentials either from what you are doing or through multiple streams of income so that you can be able to save for investment purposes and your retirement.
  • You do not believe in delaying gratification and as a result you keep getting into debts to meet every one of your desires.
  • You do not believe that it is possible to live within the remaining portion of your income after removing the 10%.
  • You believe that giving the present economic conditions of your country and the many responsibilities you have, it would be impossible to achieve what the book is advocating.
  • You do not believe in spending money for your personal development like buying and reading books on financial literacy and investment and also attending seminars and workshops and trainings on financial literacy.
  • You believe in living in competition with your friends, peers, extended family members, neighbours etc.
  • You believe someone or unseen forces are against your financial progress and there is nothing you can do about it.
  • You strongly believe that it is God only that destines what any body will be in this life and so if you are poor, it means that is your destiny and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it so, why try?
  • You believe that since those who are wealthy were destined by God to be so, they should compulsorily share their wealth with those of you not destined to be wealthy.
  • You believe that it is sin to be wealthy.
  • You are simply lazy and unwilling to face the challenges of life.
  • You believe that being a devout Christian, you should have nothing to do with anything that has to do with Babylon since Babylon is said to be a symbol of sin in the Bible.

There is great truth in The Richest Man in Babylon and as we stated earlier, it was after reading the book that we took the recommended steps which positively turned our financial situation around. All it takes is applying the principle and you would be amazed at how simply putting aside a little and sending it to work for you while disciplining yourself to live within the remaining portion of your income and staying out of debts can work magic for you. You can also order for our e-books: AFTER GOD ME! and THE ANT AND ME which deal extensively on these principles by clicking here.
