Отрывок из книги
We're going to discuss why to become wealthy extensively in this book, so we'd like to start by asking you this question: Why did you pick up this book? We're guessing it's because you'd like to have more money in your life. We can definitely show you how to achieve this, but why do you want more money in your life? We're assuming it's so you don't have to worry about whether you'll always be able to afford to pay the bills. Why do you want to be free of money worries? Presumably so that you're able to spend more time and energy on the things and people you value. So, when do you want to start living like this? That's a question only you can answer.
We started Wealth Dragons in 2009, hoping we could educate people about wealth creation and help them realize their full potential. Our specific expertise lies in different areas of the property business, but over the years we have explored other avenues of passive income generation and asset building as we have continued along the path of our own education. We pass on anything and everything new that we learn, that we believe will enrich the lives of others, in our seminars and educational programmes. We, like you, are constantly learning and growing. Since we started the company we have given countless seminars and have taught wealth creation programmes that are constantly evolving, all over the world.

Over the years we've received a great deal of positive feedback from our clients students and business associates. We hope this book will also remind them of why they chose us and why they stuck with us.
While we have written the book together, with a joint voice for the most part, we obviously have our individual stories and thoughts to share. This will be clearly indicated in the text.
