This book for a 19 year old? Who works at the local mall?

[dannymule]

Hello,

My name is Danny and I am 19 years young. My father told me about Tim's book about a month ago. I was instantly into the idea of not being a work slave for the rest of my life like I have seen people do around me. I am almost done reading it (well audiobook actually) I am at chapter 8. From what I have read so far, I do not know if this book is for me. I do not have a 9-5 I barley work 15 hours a week and recieve $150 checks every 2 weeks, at a job I hate. I dont really get to much email maybe about 10 emails a day(needless to say I dont slave over my Gmail account. My dream before I read the book is to become a world traveler.

My question is.. am I too young to apply Tim's methods to my life? Or am I luckier in the sense that I am young and have an advantage?

My plan right now(after reading most of book): Start some kind of online travel business>outsource everything that I would normally have to do after a while>have the site fund my trips around the world>mybe even end up living in another coutnry for a while to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life.

Help?

Thanks in advance

I don't think you can ever be too young to apply Tim's principles.

One would think that younger would always be better, but the main issue is this: Most young people lack the discipline and patience to see the 4HWW through.

It's often the older folks who've worked like hell for at least 5+ years that see this book and have a personal inclination to want to make this work.


It's unfortunate, but that's why there's the saying, 'Youth is wasted on the young.'


On a more positive note, give it a try and see it through to the end! You'll forever thank your 'younger-self' in the future. Trust me.

I wish this book would have been around when I was 19. Think about it... if you find your muse when you're 19......! The life you would lead.

It's never too early. And it's never to late, for that matter, either.

Ok, I get it. You have no idea what to do even after reading (listening to) the book and you want us to assure you that you can make it. If you have no confidence in yourself and your abilities no one can help you. So go work on that.

I just turned 22 and I wish I had this book even earlier, some of it's principles will not be very useful to young people (like the email thing) but it's a book that can help you get where you want a lot earlier, without going through the hell of life draining full time employment.

It isn't just email...its checking your myspace or facebook every 10 minutes, or checking your texts all day long...that sort of thing.

For someone like you the book should serve to simply debunk the myth that the only way to make an income is through the 9-5 or working for someone else. So many young people work hard and not smart, that's what's clutch about the book's principles.

I came across this book about a year ago when it came out, I was just about to graduate college and get my first REAL job. All through college and high school I tried jobs and never stayed more than a couple months, they never seemed worth my time. Most of the time I felt like the jobs were a complete waste, getting paid $8 an hour or so to do something that a monkey could do. I usually found myself just standing around most of the time anyways, or waiting on other people. Before I even read the book, it turned out I had been living the life of the muse myself. I had a couple ventures where I was selling laptops, shoes, hi-tech collectibles, online bonus hustling, etc etc.

The thing the book made clear was that these 'muses' were scalable and didn't have to just provide a couple hundred bucks a month, but could provide a full sized income. I made way more money in college than anyone I knew and I was working 60 minute workweeks. You should use this book to try to just coach yourself to make money in new and interesting ways. If you're only taking home $600 a month before taxes, you'll find that you can easily make that much without being stuck as a slave to your job.

when I was 19 the reason I hated my jobs was because they always put me on someone else's schedule. Friday and Saturday are huge retail days and that's where most kids work and those are the days I was much happier partying than working for some burnout 30 year old who enjoyed bossing people around and making sure stuff was done as inefficiently as possible.

Just use this book as an eye opener to the fact that you can easily put away more money than you're making now w/ a lot less work. Challenge yourself to do this and don't stop til it works.

Challenge yourself to do this and don't stop til it works.

I'm about to graduate college and start my MBA (which will hopefully give me more time to set up my muses and live a somewhat 4hww) and this might just be my new quote to live by :)

I'm also 19. I couldn't really apply most of the principals in the book because they're meant for a work environment, but the one thing it really helped me with was that it made me get off my butt and find a way to make money and not constantly worry about financial problems while in college. My goal right now is to make enough money to finance all 4 years of college

I would say that you're luckier and have an advantage. You are now aware of the trap that you can create for yourself with email and material stuff. Being aware of it, you can avoid it. It's always easier to avoid a bad habit than to break one.

I'm 26, and am currently in college. I just finished my first year and am going to use the remaining years to get my muse up and running. I do check email too frequently, just because I'm wasting time at school, but even more of my time is wasted on digg.com, and other "news" sites. If you look closely at your life, there is definitely 80% that can be cut out to make room for more productive pursuits.

After reading this book I passed it to my 15 year old. Now he was already on track. He's been taught from an early age to not follow the path that other people take, but what I liked was the ideas on how to view TMI and using VAs. Those were new ideas to me.
Learn from the book. Don't look at what you don't need. Find the gold at the end of the rainbow.

Danny, I can honestly tell you that I'm also 19, almost 20.

At 18, I drove halfway across the country, away from my parents, dropped out of school, and am doing pretty well for myself.

I would like to say 2 things:

1) Age does not matter, AT ALL, because even though the older adults may have more "general intelligence" than you, it doesn't matter, because all you have to do is find your niche (travel agency outsourcing in your case), and get all the specialized knowledge on that one thing, and you can be successful. If anything, you have an advantage since you've had less years being exposed to the negative beliefs of society, (A.K.A you're not as entrenched in the Bullsh*t).

2) A fair warning: Don't think of yourself as really young, and you have forever to get this done, because I started my journey of self-improvement at 17, and wasted about a year thinking "Oh, I'm young, I have forever to do this." As the months slipped by, I nearly had a mental breakdown at how much time I had lost, without any apparent improvements.

Good Luck, and feel free to hit me up if you want to talk.

Details? It sounds like something out of a movie lol

[MisterSuperBad]

no one could tell you what you are capable of. you have to find out.

i read somewhere that a millionaire said: "becoming a millionaire was easy.. developing the belief that I could took a long time".

at 19, you could go to war and die. you could get married. legally you are an adult. and there are millionaires much younger than 19.

people are always saying: i'm too old. i'm too young. i don't haev enough money. i'm too short. i'm too tall. i'm not good looking enough. i'm not the right race. i'm too fat, i'm too thin. etc. ad nauseam.

if you look for excuses they are endless. there are many people who have had it really bad, but succeeded. The blind. the crippled. etc.

let go of your doubts.

go for it, what do you have to lose?

[forgiven]

age doesn't matter, the fact that you read the book and came here, puts your paradigm on a different level than your peers... I think the principles can be used by anyone willing to make serious change...

the problem with change is, well... "what is a the more common human trait... Fear? ..... or Laziness?" - I think I heard this in a movie called "waking life".

There are plenty of other books that can help develope this new mindset for you... I have gone through a bunch myself.

Hope you decide to do something about what you read and prove that age doesn;t amtter.

Danny, of course the book is for teenagers!
4HWW is for anybody.

did you guys see the 11 year old who read Kiyosaki's books & speaks on stage??

btw, you might wanna set up your own online travel biz harnessing the fundamental benefits of internet marketing.
but try to stay away from the YTB types & equivalent travel co's. we've got many successful clients (& peers) in that type of biz model but Travel is not one that should utilise that model. FTC issues, etcetc.

I just turned 18 and I wish I had read the book earlier.
