Charity-This is one of the most important aspect in creating wealth. I remember giving away $750 to a charitable organisation with money from my overdraft account when I was broke. I told a friend that I am expecting a miracle to turn around.
The miracle did happen but not in the form of winning the lottery or some unexpected windfall. It came in the form of a wrong phone call and I was "accidentally" invited to a free preview. At that preview, I met my mentor, Dr Richard Tan, who was speaking about the teachings of Robert Kiyosaki. That was the first time I heard about Robert Kiyosaki and his famous book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It was with the help of Dr. Richard Tan that I got to attend the Money & You program on an installment plan. That program shifted my mindset and beliefs about business and money. I took action to apply what I have learned and the rest is history.
Some people ask me if giving to a family member considered charity. I said, it depends on how you feel, there is no right or wrong, it's what serves you and what don't. To me, as long as you are not self-centred and always thinking of giving your time or money for a good cause, that's charity.
Happy giving!
