Who took my money
They have all impacted me in some way. Dave Ramsey motivated me to become debt free and to spend all your money on paper. Meaning, have a place for every penny you make. Robert Kiyosaki taught me young to leverage money and that did result in a good portion of my wealth in real estate. Tony Robbin's book gave me greater understanding of how the financial world works. He also lead me to some of the greatest investors in the world. The debt cycle info came from Ray Dalio. The Millionaire Next door cemented the fact that most live WELL below their means.
For me, money itself isn't a good long term motivator. I do like the art of business and doing well with integrity and serving the public. I also like the visions of how it can impact my families future. For instance, right now I'm saving to build our dream home. We own the land and plans already. I have learned to enjoy giving my money away to those in need. I believe it's important to help those that need it.

Take it from me -- YOU DO NOT NEED MONEY to be, or to act, democratically. I do it daily. If you DON'T have money -- then volunteer your time. Share your knowledge with others, it will lift others up. Doing what's RIGHT doesn't have to cost a dime.
