It's clear that if you want to improve your financial intelligence, you must first be willing to accept the fact that

The brightest and wealthiest people do.

Speaking of financial intelligence...

In response to a request for a
simple tip that every day people
can use to improve themselves
and become successful, Ken said,

" Every successful person I know
or have read about - scientists,
businessmen, authors, inventors
- what have you - all have one
thing in common.

They all journal everyday.

Incorporate it into your daily schedule, I have for a long time now - and not diary stuff either - thoughts, ideas and events that trigger them. It works and it doesn't cost anything. "

Ken is a genuinely fine person. In our conversations, it became clear that he is intensely loyal, kind, a great father, husband and a real family man. His candor, strength of character and great sense of humor are only exceeded by his drive, creative genius and desire to make a difference in the world.

And he is well on his way to doing that...

If you are unfamiliar with Ken Varga's work, you should get a copy of his book: "How To Get Customers to Call, Buy and Beg for More."

It is definitely a must have in your library and arsenal of tools to improve your financial intelligence and your life.

Test Your Financial Intelligence

Part of financial intelligence is learning about many different aspects of business and money.

But the real goal here is to help you step out of the box of generally accepted attitudes and understanding about wealth creation.

Why would try to improve your financial intelligence with advice from somebody with an average or lesser ability or level of experience than you?

That's crazy - if you think about it - and all too common.

Take a different approach and listen to what the highly successful have to say about it. Be willing to take an unorthodox approach to real estate, education and improving your financial intelligence.

This one is kind of fun - pretty traditional thinking but useful in general terms...
