Book Review – Section 1 – Money Master the Game by Tony Robbins
The first section of Master the Game begins by taking time to establish the purpose behind Tony’s writing. Tony jumped into this massive project because he was enraged at the way the financial system is set up to confuse people and maximize opportunities for corporations instead of the normal working man or woman. The economic crisis of 2008 was what prompted him and pushed him to devise the content of this book. Tony decided that in order to fight against the system he was going to find the 50 best financial minds in the world and interview them with the purpose of giving the normal, hard-working person like you and me the opportunity to learn from the best in the world. successful financial gurus. That is exactly what he did. Tony got these knowledgeable men and women to expound their financial wisdom for free. All you have to do is choose Tony’s book, which by the way, all proceeds will go to feed people in need around the world! Very cool.
“We all have money in our lives, what matters is that you dominate the money and it does not dominate you”.
So what are the key points of the first section of “Money Master the Game”?
The seven steps that Tony has contained in this book are all achievable by anyone regardless of income level.
Tony is extremely rich, but he didn’t set out to write a book that would only be valuable to those who are rich. Tony believes in the power of generosity and gratitude, so this book is about giving back to those seeking financial freedom. No matter how much money you make, you can take the principles you learn throughout this book and start applying them to your life halfway through the first section. In fact, he asks you to take action. Put the book down and take action to start that drive toward financial freedom.
“The secret to wealth is simple: find a way to do more for others than anyone else.”
If we can stop thinking of money as something we compete for, we can begin to master money. Life is about living in relationship with others and the money we receive in our lives can be a direct reflection of those relationships. If you learn something, share it with others. If something is valuable to you, tell people. What do you do when you go to see a great movie with your friends? Go tell those around you how amazing it was! Maybe you write a Facebook post or a Tweet. You spread the word because you care. Do this with everything that excites you in your life. Be grateful for what you have and share it with others! Maximize your positive contribution to the world and wealth becomes a byproduct of that.
