Last week while waiting for an order of new books to arrive, I pulled out my copy of The Richest Man In Babylon by George S. Clason, written in 1926. It is a book that through parables teaches the ancient fundamentals of “finance” – it’s a teaching story, with direct ties back to ancient historical documents.

I hadn’t read this little jewel since prior to the year 2000 for sure. I was curious to see how much of it would seem like new to me after so many years of training and changes to my philosophies.

I was profoundly surprised and delighted to find that even though, over time, I may not have remembered the words on the pages I definitely remembered how this book made me feel. Looking at my current situation and what I have created the last decade, it’s obvious that sub-consciously I took some things forward with me that have stuck and will stick with me forever…once our view has been expanded, it’s impossible to go back to the old one!

In this book is the stuff of real value, for those ready to hear, it contains the life-transforming secrets that aren’t really all that secret. This is the guidebook they didn’t share with us in high-school – at least not in my high-school!

I distinctly remember being taught how to “tithe” to my church and being told “save your money”, no one really showed me how, and I don’t recall anyone telling me that “a portion of all I earned was mine to keep.”

I started amassing “my portion” almost 20 years ago now. Finding that place of “me first” was a challenge and a process of changing some of my philosophy – it’s still going on to this day and I suspect always will. I now “protect and nurture my portion” as a good Mother would her children …

Jim Rohn says, “Work full-time on your income and part-time on your fortune.”

The Richest Man In Babylon is all about the “part-time on your fortune” part…

It’s this orator’s keen observation that most individuals or families make “enough” money. The only missing I see for many now, is the teachings around how to acquire or create, manage, protect and grow “their portions” – and coming from my background I was taught to work hard to get ahead, not that that philosophy is a bad one, effort is always required to accomplish anything of greatness, and re-define “effort”.

In examining effort we find the beauty of one of my favourite laws, “Leverage”.  Leverage changes the whole game and the way we do everything!

Swinging from the habits of working hard to the habits of working smart hasn’t been as difficult as it has been “different”. One’s ability to show up in life open, teachable and alert to solutions that come from “out of the box” is critical – it defines “quality of life.”

And on working smarter, that doesn’t mean that One should need an MBA to create an abundant profit center at the heart of one’s home.
