The book tells the story of Robert Kiyosaki's two fathers: his 'poor dad,' a highly educated but fiscally poor man, and his 'rich dad,' the father of his best friend who was a successful entrepreneur. It emphasizes the importance of financial education, distinguishing between assets and liabilities, and building wealth through investing in assets such as real estate and businesses. Kiyosaki argues that a good education and a secure job are not guarantees for financial success and provides practical lessons on how to make money work for you rather than working for money[1][3][5].
Published in 1937, 'Think and Grow Rich' is a seminal work in the self-help genre. The book is the result of over twenty years of research by Napoleon Hill, who studied the habits and achievements of more than 500 successful individuals, including Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford. Hill distills their wisdom into thirteen principles that, when practiced with persistence and faith, can transform dreams into reality. These principles include the power of desire, faith, specialized knowledge, organized planning, and the role of the subconscious mind. The book emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude, setting clear and specific goals, and taking consistent action to achieve success. It also explores the concept of the 'Master Mind' alliance and the need to overcome fears and doubts to achieve one's objectives.
Written in 1938 by Napoleon Hill, 'Outwitting the Devil' was considered too controversial to be published in its era. The book is presented as an interview between Hill (Mr. Earthbound) and the devil (our inner dark self), where Hill uncovers the secrets to freedom and success by evaluating the greatest obstacles humans face in achieving their personal goals. The book discusses topics such as the difference between drifters and non-drifters, maintaining a definiteness of purpose, finding one’s other self, Hill’s seven principles, and the law of hypnotic rhythm. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Sharon Lechter, it was finally published in June 2011.
In this episode of The Wealthy Way, I sit down with David Meltzer, an absolute powerhouse in the business world. He’s the Co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing and used to run the Leigh Steinberg agency—the one that inspired Jerry Maguire. Yeah, that’s the level he’s on.
But what really stands out about David is how he’s turned some of his toughest moments—like going bankrupt—into opportunities to rebuild stronger. We dive deep into how he got the Napoleon Hill license (yes, that Napoleon Hill), and how he’s leveraged that to build his brand. David talks about what it takes to succeed in real estate, his investment strategies, and how he’s been able to profit from business ventures over the years.
But it’s not just about making money. We get into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to handle stress, bounce back from failure, and navigate dark moments—all while staying grounded in faith and gratitude. David’s got a ton of wisdom to share, especially when it comes to moving beyond your past and finding your purpose, even when things get tough.
This episode is packed with value. If you’re looking to build wealth, crush it in real estate, and get inspired by someone who’s been through it all and came out stronger, this is the one to watch. Whether you're just starting out or you’ve been in the game for a while, there’s something here for everyone.
