Dear Members of the Rich Dad Community,

Most people spend their entire lives working for money and never learn how to make their money work for them. As 2004 draws to a close and we look ahead to new goals and challenges, it’s a great time to consider the choices that lie before us�?/FONT>

This holiday season, give the gift my rich dad gave me: the gift of financial intelligence.

My rich dad said, “When you focus your mind on making money only for yourself, you will find it difficult to become rich. If you focus first on giving �?thinking only of making others lives a little easier �?you will find tremendous wealth and happiness.�?

We’ve created five special holiday packages and offer them to you at outstanding value pricing so that giving the gifts that support financial education has never been easier. ......
I join the entire team at The Rich Dad Company in wishing you and your family very happy holidays.
Robert Kiyosaki

A reminder: This year all Holiday Special offers have been extended to January 31, 2005!

Four Steps to a Super Attitude by: Brian Tracy

It is not what happens to you that counts. It is how you react to what happens to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any kind. In this message, you learn powerful strategies you can use to keep yourself thinking and acting positively and creatively. Here are four things you can do to assure that your attitude is the very best it can be, under all circumstances. 

Focus On The Future
First, whatever challenges you face, focus on the future rather than on the past. Instead of worrying about who did what and who is to blame, focus on where you want to be and what you want to do. Get a clear mental image of your ideal successful future, and then take whatever action you can to begin moving in that direction. Get your mind, your thoughts, and your mental images on the future. 

Focus On The Solution
Second, whenever you are faced with a difficulty, focus on the solution rather than on the problem. Think and talk about the ideal solution to the obstacle or setback, rather than wasting time rehashing and reflecting on the problem. Solutions are inherently positive, whereas problems are inherently negative. The instant that you begin thinking in terms of solutions, you become a positive and constructive human being. 

Look For The Good
Third, assume that something good is hidden within each difficulty or challenge. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, a major proponent of positive thinking, once said,  Whenever God wants to give us a gift, he wraps it up in a problem.? The bigger the gift you have coming, the bigger the problem you will receive. But the wonderful thing is that if you look for the gift, you will always find it. 
 

Time Management Series: Achieve your goals with the most powerful system ever developed! This combination of programs contains the best-selling programs on time management, How to Master Your Time, Eat That Frog! and 21 Great Ways to Manage Your Time and Double Your Productivity.

Look For The Valuable Lesson
Fourth, assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to you to help you learn something, to help you become better, to help you expand and grow. 

Do What Successful People Do
A Positive Mental Attitude is indispensable to your success. You can be as positive as you want to be if you will simply think about the future, focus on the solution and look for the good. If you do what other successful people do, if you use your mind to exert mental control over the situation, you will be positive and cheerful most of the time. And you will reap the benefits enjoyed by all successful people. 

Action Exercises
First, become solution-oriented with every difficulty you face. Make a habit of looking for the answers to your questions, the solutions to your problems. 

Second, seek for the valuable lesson in every adversity. Make a list of every idea or insight you can gain from every setback or difficulty. 

Third, think on paper. Take some time to write out every detail of the problem, and then take the most logical next step to solve it.

Opportunities Are Unlimited ! by: Brian Tracy

Dare To Go Forward
This is called "courageous patience," the willingness and the ability to "stay the course" in the face of uncertainty, doubt and often criticism from many quarters.

Follow Through On Your Vision
In a way, it is easy to develop a big vision for yourself and for the person you want to be. It is easy to commit yourself to living with complete integrity. But it requires incredible courage to follow through on your vision and on your commitments. You see, as soon as you set a high goal or standard for yourself, you will run into all kinds of difficulties and setbacks.

Refuse To Compromise
You will be surrounded by temptations to compromise your values and your vision. You will feel an almost irresistible urge to "get along by going along." Your desire to earn the respect and cooperation of others can easily lead to the abandonment of your principles, and here is where courage comes in.

Stick To Your Principles
Courage combined with integrity is the foundation of character. The first form of courage is your ability to stick to your principles, to stand for what you believe in and to refuse to budge unless you feel right about the alternative. Courage is also the ability to step out in faith, to launch out into the unknown and then to face the inevitable doubt and uncertainty that accompany every new venture.
 
21 Great Ways to Hire and Keep the Best People - Learn the 21 best ideas and strategies ever discovered to select the best people and build them into a loyal, high-performing team. These techniques are the keys to business success

Avoid Your Comfort Zone
Most people are seduced by the lure of the comfort zone. This can be likened to going out of a warm house on a cold, windy morning. The average person, when he feels the storm swirling outside his comfort zone, rushes back inside where it's nice and warm. But not the true leader. The true leader has the courage to step away from the familiar and comfortable and to face the unknown with no guarantees of success. It is this ability to "boldly go where no man has gone before" that distinguishes you as a leader from the average person. This is the example that you must set if you are to rise above the average. It is this example that inspires and motivates other people to rise above their previous levels of accomplishment as well.

The Attack of Alexander The Great
Alexander the Great, the king of Macedonia, was one of the most superb leaders of all time. He became king at the age of 19, when his father, Philip II, was assassinated. In the next 11 years, he conquered much of the known world, leading his armies against numerically superior forces.

Lead the Action
Yet, when he was at the height of his power, the master of the known world, the greatest ruler in history to that date, he would still draw his sword at the beginning of a battle and lead his men forward into the conflict. He insisted on leading by example. Alexander felt that he could not ask his men to risk their lives unless he was willing to demonstrate by his actions that he had complete confidence in the outcome. The sight of Alexander charging forward so excited and motivated his soldiers that no force on earth could stand before them.

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action: 

First, set big goals for yourself and force yourself out of the comfort zone by acting boldly - even when there is no guarantee of success. Go boldly where no one has ever gone before. 

Second, resolve to act quickly and decisively when you are confronted with a difficult or dangerous situation. Dare to go forward. Practice audacity in all things. 
Acting with courage builds your courage and confidence higher and higher.
