Wassup forum peepz? Its JokerCrazy here again back with another AMAZING book review.

Today we'll be discussing The Richest Man In Babylon by George S. Clason

RICHEST-MAN1.jpg


If you're a entrepreneur and you havent read this book you're 100% missing out. The value this book provides is priceless and actionable.

At first i detoured from reading this book because i knew it was a story book and in my mind "how much value can i get from a story book" which i obviously should have KNOWN better.

This book gives REAL tactics on :

Wealth building

Investing

Maintaining wealth past retirement

Hard Work

This book has personally helped me b/c im at a point in my business career where im seeing sales regularly and im trying to learn how to scale. And for a bit ive been wondering why my money leaves as fast as it comes in . (I dont splurge on silly things).

In this book i learned what i was doing wrong with my money and what i can do to fix it.

It is a must read . If you havent checked it out yet then you should TODAY!
