If I lost everything tomorrow, the first 3 things I'd rebuild aren't money. 🖤 1. Find the problem before you find the property. Nobody ever said yes because I wanted something. They said yes because I solved something. 2. Nobody is coming to qualify you. There's no committee. 3. Waiting for money to start is how you guarantee you'll need more of it. I bought a $700,000 triplex with $500 — because it's what I had, and I stopped waiting for it to be more. But here's the moment I'd actually go back for. I was a social worker — homeless shelters, psychiatric units, the LA County Jail. Somebody handed me Rich Dad Poor Dad and I dismissed it, because I'd decided money was the thing causing the damage I was cleaning up every day. I thought I was being principled. Then in 2012 my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. His care was about $7,000 a month. My family couldn't pay it. I thought money was the opposite of my values. It turned out to be the only thing that could enforce them.I'm not asking you to love the system. I'm asking you to stop leaving the instructions to the people who built it. Save this and tell me which one is hardest for you. DM me FREEDOM for the free book. #financialactivist #firstgenwealth #richdadpoordad #consciouswealth #womenandwealth - @melissadorman
