Killing Sacred Cows 20 - Crush...

Garrett Gunderson

What if you have been lied to about money and investing? How soon would you want to find out?
What if you could become far wealthier, much sooner, by doing the opposite of what you have been taught by financial pundits and mainstream media? You can when you conquer the financial myths exposed in this book.
Listen to Killing Sacred Cows to discover these revolutionary principles and more:
Net worth is a poor indicator of wealth and your ability to retire well. What matters is cash flow, and this book will teach you how to develop it.
Wealth is a byproduct of a life well lived. Budgeting and sacrifice are at odds with building wealth and enjoying life along the way.
Debt may not be what you think it is. Learn the proper definition of debt to increase your prosperity.
Become a better investor by discovering and developing your Investor DNA. Learn how to reduce risk, stop wasting money and time, and get better returns with less risk.
Escape the trap of scarcity and the dogmatic accumulation model. It doesn’t take money to make money, or require risk to get returns. You especially don’t have to wait thirty years for compound interest to kick in to be financially independent.
Money mindsets can be shaped in a moment, but have lifelong, tragic effects. Hard work with the wrong philosophy (myths) can lead to limitation, frustration—even bankruptcy.
Of course, Killing Sacred Cows isn’t for everyone—just those who want to make more money, keep more money, and make fewer mistakes with their money.
If you’re tired of following the herd and getting slaughtered by inflation, taxes, and the market, this book is for you.
