The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum
We’re not in Kansas anymore.
The Wizard of Oz film starts with Dorothy lost and confused at what to do next and goes on an adventure for a solution to find home.
The first step on this Hero’s Journey is often the hardest to take.
We are living busier more complex lives than we have ever done before. Like Dorothy entering a different world after the tornado.
Today things are very different than the world before the financial crisis.
There is a path you can follow to get you home. You will need to have three companions with you on your journey, the scarecrow (land) the Tinman (business) and a Lion (reserves of cash and bonds). The scarecrow needs a brain, the tinman needs a heart and the lion needs courage (explained more in the full book Millennial Money Mindset)
SELF-RELIANCE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Self-reliance, Emerson wrote, gives a person in society the freedom they need to discover their true self and reach independence.
Emerson believed that individualism, personal responsibility, and nonconformity were essential to a thriving society.
To get there Emerson knew that each individual had to do the work on themselves to be able to achieve this level of individualism.
The writing in Self-Reliance is more relevant than ever before.
This classic text is for anyone who wants to be in control of their lives, to be self-reliant and to become financially independent.
