Jim rhons 7 strategies for wealth.

One of my favorites, i listen to Jim probably the most, watch his videos and try to follow his disciplines. (Try lol)

Brian Tracey’s eat that frog. A very pragmatic way of accomplishing the basics, being simple and diligent. Pretty good book. But Brian gives us the impression if we copy successful routines and people we can be of attain what they do. Which is true, but Brian’s acts as if we are robots, our emotions and hinders often get in the way of simply monkey see monkey do. But good book.

Jack Canfields success principles

Similar to Tracey’s eat that frog, Jack uses the same fundamentals of being around only successful people, but somewhat different, but uses way more others as analogies in a comic way, or ways that can be too far off a regular modem of a working class manual labor man like myself. But maybe that’s my problem, I seek hard work, which pays almost nothing, compared to our priorities of rent and necessities, have to get into the Jim and Brian route with big money to make big steps. But good read.

Only a few stoics make grade for me that is useful, Favorites gotta be Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Pythagorus, Teillus and Seneca I don’t like but I like. lol I think I’ll get more well written ones from Ryan holiday who has them all mapped out and better explained. For to me stoics are by far the most pragmatic ways of living but very slow, no fundamentals on money, managing and budgeting business, only virtuous and principles. Good stuff but I can see how the eastern philosophers Laotzu, Confucius and Gautama and the 27 buddahs were much more fast passed, accomplished more with less brute force and more of a conversing and peaceful manner. But good none the less.

Grand daddy of all books, a must have, your own personal bible, what can I say, more than needed, our compass, our history, our fundamentals, teachings on staying away from woes and get your blessings, facing adversity, sorrow, pain, grief, learning about money, relationships, courtship, nature, everything is all there. My habit is to get a new bible every year, gonna stick with the ones of most merit, kjv, and get Ethiopian orthadox version, along with a Quran for substance and better knowing the dynamics.


Cant stop there, wanna get the Tao te Ching, maybe a little books of business, money management, time management and health stuff. Reading is muscling up on the mind and spirit as working out is to muscling up remedying and improving your body and overall health.

Would like to know which books you all have as favorites and some books that help you improve, be stoic, have a spiritual connection, principles and other means as well. Even with reading a book a week or month, you will improve your soul and how you perceive and do things, like Jim rhon states, what you read is what runs your mental factory, if you watch a lot of TV and junk, your mind will be junk, and not run properly, ever worrying and dreading things outside our control, to Marcus tellius states a room without books is like a body without a soul, and Zig ziglar states poor people have big tvs and small libraries, while rich and wealthy people have small tvs and large libraries. If y’all have some books you think can help, hit us up with a cover of the book and your thoughts on them and how they helped you construct your routines and habits, and improved your life.

Like Jim rhon states, no one man has all the answers, and no one book has all the answers either. So it would be wise to grow your knowledge to gain wisdom, books are our guidelines. Compasses and structure for our spirits, our soul the conductor, like alot of Buddhist say, what you think you become.

Keep reading, keep working towards your goals and don’t forget to live a little, there is a ying and Yang to Taoist, a righteous and wicked in the Bible, a good and evil in most religions, so it’s good to learn both, life is not just sunshine and to roses, there is a dark end to it, but thankfully for these books and their foundational groups via churches, buddhist temples, business classes, college and schooling, gyms and career paths. We can save a lot of time, grief and mistakes if we heed to their teachings and practice, be disciplined and obedient to their laws, statues and commandments. We can live a worthwhile life, a prosperous life and meaningful one.

Yessir.

Simpleman123 OP July 18th, 2022

Jim rhon, holding on, stay strong, through Jim’s voice, he’ll live on, through his teachings i practice from dusk till dawn.

Jim’s faith raises me up, seeping through cracks giving me hope and luck, step by step newer habits are formed, Jim rhon, my friend i adorn.

Jim rhon is my G. Like he says, you have two choices, either let the weeds grow and take your garden, or kill the weeds.

Kill it.

Don’t procrastinate - Stay on it

Dont backslide - Keep track

Dont be idle - Make progress

Results, Results, Results.

Simpleman123 OP July 19th, 2022

The firm, the enduring and the simple are closest to virtues.

Simpleman123 OP July 20th, 2022

Kjv bible, followed by Talmud, Ethiopian orthadox bible that has its added 30 books to it, and Quran.

Must have as your core and basic books in your library.

Simpleman123 OP July 22nd, 2022

Ecclesiastes 7:14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

Consider, make my ways that crooked straight. One step at a time.

Simpleman123 OP July 29th, 2022

PBUY Jim rhon. Got me through some hard times, and still is. Not gonna let you down my Friend.

Simpleman123 OP July 31st, 2022

When people see some things as beautiful,

other things become ugly.

When people see some things as good,

other things become bad.


Being and non-being create each other.

Difficult and easy support each other.

Long and short define each other.

High and low depend on each other.

Before and after follow each other.


Therefore the Master

acts without doing anything

and teaches without saying anything.

Things arise and she lets them come;

things disappear and she lets them go.

She has but doesn't possess,

acts but doesn't expect.

When her work is done, she forgets it.

That is why it lasts forever.
