Book excerpt: Would you build or buy your dream home without a set of blueprints? Of course not. Then why would you go through life without a “money blueprint”? My Own Financial Blueprint shows you how to make a plan for wealth creation—your own money blueprint—through twelve action steps that will transform your financial life. Starting with a new “money mindset,” Ruben Ruiz walks you through eleven more steps, including how to generate your own income system and make money through tax plans, real estate, business equity, and other endeavors. Anyone who seeks to be among the 6 percent of Americans who are financially independent must make a change from a “fixed mindset” to a “growth mindset,” asserts Ruiz. Anyone who will make that change will be able to implement the twelve models to attain wealth. Financial independence begins with setting the right goals so that you can get to the next level. It’s about completing what you start. It’s even simpler than you think, and with a master money mentor as your guide, you’re already set up for success.
