There　are　many　people　in　the　world　of　money；　finances　and　investments　who　have　absolutely　no　idea　what　they're　talking　about。　Most　people　in　the　money　industry　are　just　spouting　off　sales　pitches　like　used…car　salesmen。

When　you　know　you　are　ignorant　in　a　subject；　start　educating　yourself　by　finding　an　expert　in　the　field　or　find　a　book　on　the　subject。

CHAPTER　NINE

Getting　Started

I　wish　I　could　say　acquiring　wealth　was　easy　for　me；　but　it　wasn't。

So　in　response　to　the　question　〃How　do　I　start？〃　I　offer　the　thought　process　I　go　through　on　a　day…by…day　basis。　It　really　is　easy　to　find　great　deals。　I　promise　you　that。　It's　just　like　riding　a　bike。　After　a　little　wobbling；　it's　a　piece　of　cake。　But　when　it　es　to　money；　it's　the　determination　to　get　through　the　wobbling　that's　a　personal　thing。
