That’s easy. Get your Harry Potter books autographed by J.K. Rowling and sell them on e-bay. I’m not kidding! Check out this link.
J.K. Rowling, your kung-fu is supreme among all writers. The Harry Potter series has turned more kids into readers than any other book series, in a world where libraries have turned into museums.

Now, how do we turn them into readers of books like Great Expectations. Hmmm.
Photo Caption: J.K. Rowling presents her novel “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” which went on sale at midnight of 20 July 2007 at the National History museum in London. Worldwide anticipation and hype surrounded the publication of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the seventh and final book in author J.K. Rowling’s fantasy series.
And to think she was a writer living in penury, much like JRR Tolkien who wrote his manuscripts on brown paper bags. Nah, I’m not really a fan.
A huge aspect of personal finance is career planning. We can’t escape the fact that most of us will spend most of our productive life trying to earn money through an 8-5 job. How do you strengthen that cash flow so that it can finance your day-to-day needs as well as future ones?
Maybe we can’t all turn our cash flow into a surging tsunami the way she did, but it’s certainly an effort that should be included in every person’s financial plan.

pinoy investor, unfortunately the reality is that’s how most Filipinos think. Try to talk to ten people walking around malls and I think you’d be hard pressed to find two of them who don’t think their 8-5 job is their career. I guess that’s why there are only few really wealthy people in this country. You notice that I’m not perky today, huh?

I think it is a possible to get rich quickly. Golden rule of this game is to believe that you can do it & the correct attitude that you can want to achieve it. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Using the the correct skills, method & formula that has been proven you will get the same result like those who has done it.

The quickest way to ‘retire’ is to have a great career. Let’s disabuse our mind that career means an 8-5 job.
In his book ‘Retire Young, Retire Rich’ Kiyosaki said he wants to retire young and be a beach bum. If all he did was surf in the beach, he would be retired and a beach bum. But he makes a lot of money writing books. He has a very successful career as an author and personal finance guru.
Whenever people say they want to retire young, they really mean they want to change career.
