(David backpacked for 10.5 years around the world and in that time had to work in almost every country…Here is what he shared on the show.) David: “Being able to connect quickly with people as if they have known you your own life is a key to finding work, building relationships and really having a KICKASS life. People go out of their way to help you when you have a deeper connection” David regularly gets huge discounts when buying things because he has such a great time, or never pays for extra baggage because the person waves the fee. “I would decide what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it, Many people never consciously decide exactly where to live and exactly what to do, they end up somewhere. Make it a conscious decision. Treat getting a job like a job, put 8-9 hours in a day. If people put in 8 hours a day and not be too proud to take a lower station job in order to get into the company that you want.” David worked as Harv Ekers goffer and did everything for him, got his food, carried his bags, cleaned up after him etc in order to break into the training world. “Work for FREE and prove yourself if needed” David volunteered for Harv and never got paid, he also worked for FREE many times around the world.

How the rich budget to get richer
David shares some of the strategies that he uses to create, maintain and expand wealth Poor dad said, “Live below your means.” Rich dad said, “Expand your means.” If you were to take a look at the difference between my poor dad’s budget and my rich dad’s budget, you’d understand the vast difference of mindset between the two statements above. My poor dad’s budget focused on cutting expenses to meet his income. It was important for him to pay everyone else and then enjoy what was left—if anything. My rich dad’s budget focused on increasing income. It was important for him to pay himself first and then taking care of his expenses. He said, “Most people use their budget as a plan to become poor or middle class rather than become rich. My budget is a plan to become rich.” Here are four tips my rich dad taught me about budgeting to become rich. #1 – A budget surplus is an expense. One of rich dad’s most important lessons was, “You have to make a surplus an expense.” What he meant is that most people view a surplus as an asset. They place their extra cash in the bank or they spend it on liabilities. Rather than view extra money as an asset, rich dad viewed it as an expense in the form of charity, investing and saving. Most people want to give to charity, invest in assets and save money, but the problem is that they view it as something to do after they’ve paid their expenses. By making these things expenses in his budget, my rich dad ensured that he would make them a priority. He called it paying himself first. #2 – Your expense column is a crystal ball. If you want to predict a person’s financial future, you have to look no further than the expense column. Here’s an example of two different expense columns: Person A: Person B: Donation to charity Six-pack of beer Savings New shoes Books on investing New TV Seminar on real estate Football tickets Gym dues (Another) six-pack of beer Personal coach Bag of potato chips While that’s a humorous example, it’s not far from the truth. When you look at most people’s expense columns, they’re littered with payments to other people and for liabilities. In each case, expenses don’t go towards anything that will make money and only things that permanently take money out of your pocket. Take a look at your expense column. What does it say about you? #3 – Use assets to pay for liabilities. My poor dad was frugal and thought that was a...
