by George S. Clason Ever wished someone had educated you on the simple principles of money management? The simple rules that are introduced in ‘The Richest Man in Babylon’ make sense and would probably have made a huge difference to the number of people that are in debt today due to lack of financial education. The lessons in The Richest Man in Babylon unfold in a strategic and methodical way through a character called Arkad who delivers the rules of wealth creation (as well as wealth destruction). It is as much an inspiring story as it is an educational one. An old time classic that delivers the fundamentals from which many other books have stemmed. Rule number 1: You must save at least 10% of all your earnings. To learn all the other rules and to be taken back to the ancient babylonian days through dialogue and settings I urge you to choose this book as your teacher. I would suggest that it is more of a starting point for those that are new to this journey of personal/ financial development. Enjoy If you would like a copy of this book

THE ALCHEMIST By Paulo Coelho When I was introduced to this book I was delighted at it’s simple but highly effective story telling and the way that it sucked me in. The story is based on a boy called Santiago who gives up his daily life to follow his dream (literally). He is met by twists and turns that guide him on his way to realising that synchronisity happens to show you that you are either on track and on the path to your true destiny or not. Santiago meets many characters along the way who all help him in some way to move closer and closer to his dream; a crystal shop owner, an English man and an alchemist all show him that his dreams are worth fighting for and that "no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams". The story takes the reader through a series of lessons that shows that they too have omens that have been guiding them and showing them their way just like our friend Santiago, but the real lesson is whether they noticed or if they were listening. This book amazed me at the way that it is so simple to read but so deep and brilliant when understood. In a nutshell this book tells you to go out and follow your dreams but to remember that they just might be where you left them...
