Introduction
There are thousands of self-improvement, success,
and money-making books. Many of the authors have attempted
to put together some "integrated formulation"
from their own experiences and from all the other
sources available to them. Unfortunately, most of
them -- if not all of them without exception -- are
somewhat incomplete and sometimes even hopelessly
misguided in some respects. I hope my attempt at formulating
some money skills will become more complete than most.
If you know or think of any money skills I should
add to my list, please e-mail Frederick Mann.
Robert G. Allen (also best-selling author of Nothing
Down, Creating Wealth, and Challenge) writes in Multiple
Streams of Income: How to Generate a Lifetime of Unlimited
Wealth:
"Prosperous people practice seven financial
secrets. I call them "secrets" not because
very few of us are aware of them, but because very
few of us use them. The secrets are, in reality, skills
... essential money skills that all wealthy people
practice. I believe that if you learn these skills,
wealth can flow into your life ... multiple streams
of increasing prosperity. Wouldn't that be nice? Money
to buy whatever you want ... houses, cars, travel,
freedom. Surplus to share with the people you care
most about. Security. Peace of mind. That's what these
skills will bring you."
Allen also devotes a chapter to network marketing
(or MLM = multilevel marketing), which he calls "the
ultimate money machine."
