Getting Things Done

I am going to be studying the book by David Allen called Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity also known as GTD. 

I am not as productive as I would like to be so I am going to be reading this book and implementing what he is teaching.  I have a list of things that I would like to get done and I am not getting to them. 

Here is my to do list that keeps getting pushed off.

• Complete Questions from accountant to finish taxes
• Complete tutorials for all areas of the Mentorship Program
• Set up and create a podcast focused on real estate investing
• Create a home study course a month for Financial Freedom Group (FFG)
• Create blog posts and visit real estate investing forums daily
• Help Julie (my wife) acquire more multi unit properties
• Create more leveraged systems to allow me to be more productive and spend less time in my businesses
• Creating a website for FFG

I am going to be posting my progress in implementing GTD.

Rich Dad Poor Dad

To be a successful entrepreneur/real estate investor you have to have the right mindset.  The book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, changed my financial future because it changed my mind. 

The book is a great introduction to building the correct mindset to succeed outside the realm of being an employee.  The book tells Robert's story growing up with a rich dad (his friends dad) and a poor dad (his biological dad).  The rich dad owned businesses and invested and the poor dad had a high paying job but no assets to speak of.  It chronicles the mindsets of both of these men and the path that Robert chose growing up. 

If you are looking for "How to" in Rich Dad Poor Dad you aren't going to find it.  The book focuses on building the correct mindset to succeed in the business and investing worlds.  This is an awesome read.  On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 10.
