Where my dad always used to tell me, "Son, if you want to be rich, read Proverbs in the Bible." And it's funny, at the time I was like, "Ah, okay, Dad." But what did I do? Did I read it? Of course not! I was a 15-year-old, what did you expect? But you know what's funny? When I was 21, I met my teacher Jim Rohn. 5 years later at 26, I became a self-made millionaire. And now looking back, reading Proverbs, I'm like, "I was so stupid." I could have gotten rich way sooner.
