Ive been listening to these audio books since 2020 ... Easily the best decision ive ever made .. thank you master key society... My life changed
How did it change ?
@@talwassa2477 he changed
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH.... stock,silver and gold)
How can I make a successful investment in stocks and profitable trades?? I’m thinking of expert Anne pate 😏 any suggestions🤷
How can I get in touch with her I’m in need of her assistance
*I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't chase comfort at the age of labor, so you won't labor at the age of comfort.*
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.”
Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
That’s a just approach. I’m 40 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.
For more info on my finance coach, you can look up the full names below.
I put it on pause and read every page without audio. I really appreciate that.
Thank You. Stay Blessed ALWAYS.
This is amazing. *“How to build wealth”*
The first step to building wealth is figuring out your goaIs and risk toIerance - either on your own or with the heIp of a financiaI pIanner, and foIIowing through with an inteIIigent pIan, you wiII gain financiaI growth over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
I am fortunate I made productive decisions that changed my finances (gathered over 1M in 2years) through my financiaI planner. Got my 2nd house in Feb, and hoping to retire soon. Give this a try and attain good-returns.

@@bluetech2809 the beauty in the old books is while the topics may be know the word choice and vocabulary allows the listener to enjoy experiencing seeing them from a new perspective, thus Unlocking the mind with these new masterkeys.
@@fynnjackson2298 I agree with something like Richest Man in Babylon because it's just told as a story but these other books... I dunno they're pretty much all the same. If you read one you've read them all.
@@bluetech2809that’s an earned skill that many hope to achieve.
Amazing he actually wrote a book. I mean why write one back then, but good..
This is my favorite book to listed to! I listen to it over and over! It's not about the getting rich, it's about clarity of the mind & soul to grow bigger and better, along with becoming better money comes along ;)
I listen to it over and over as well so good!!
Truth
One of my favorite books!
This is a classic by P.T. Barnum. You see, nothing is new. It's all taken from somewhere.
All thoughts and knowledge are
@@spontaneousbootay you misunderstand his comment - he’s saying the same thoughts as in the book are spoken today as though they are new. He’s complimenting PT Barnum.
@@oliverheber599 oh 🤭 i should learn to read lol

Receiving a new book from MKS Is just so exciting to me This has to be my favorite channel Thank you ️
I actually learned something new from this. Something my dad always beat me up about. “Having too many irons in the fire” it’s absolutely important and more effective to focus on one thing at a time, get it yo reach a steady peak then it’s safe to add or do something more. Anyway ❤ 😊
ahaaaa,,been a victim of wanting to start a million things at a go ttat when one isnt going well at least i have others..didnt know thats a bad move
Your father has wisdom and experience.
After reading dozens of these books in my 30s, Think & grow rich, master key, dozens more, I realize there’s only one success book to read & follow. The Bible, seek first my kingdom & all these things will be added unto you. Greatest book to follow ever written!
Correct, this follows the Bible exactly, just spoken with different words and stories with the same meaning. Reaches people who may have been misaligned with the Bible.
You have to understand the context of why Jesus said this and who was he speaking with, and what was said prior to this. He was speaking on the essential things you need in life, clothing, shelter, and food. Not wealth or riches. Success is better defined what Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:20
i understand your opinion, i find the religious view to be closedminded against lgbt though, for it condemns people who don't desire to be lgbt

I enjoyed this,thank you 🎉
This, Art of War and couple others I read annually. As a business owner when I get asked advise, I usually end up suggesting PT Barnums “A.0.M.G” . Because if you’re already a fan, it says a lot. If not it is a great little nugget to ponder. And when you realize Mr.Barnum wasn’t doing well at the time he wrote the book, he was reluctant but was convinced by friends to write a book on his knowledge. This paved the way for his comeback later in life.
the secret to wealth is to work in silence, when no one is watching and when u have no money.

Hey, your channel is a true treasure. I enjoy listening to your videos plus you have a good voice.
love listening to these books
I only began making an income in my mid-30s, because I married young and didn’t work til after the divorce. With 2 kids to support, and save at the same time, it took 10 years for me to have some money in the bank. What I wish I had known even 5 years ago was to put that money into real estate. I was nervous and still nervous because I’m the only breadwinner and I don’t want to be house-poor. I guess it’s all about calculated risk-taking. I get that, I think I do need to control my nonsense spending too. There’s so much to learn, one lifetime is not enough.
Nice
My brother has paid rent since 2017. That's $128,000 he has thrown away because he was scared to purchase real estate. He was house poor regardless. My mortgage is cheaper than his rent.
Thank you master key

How did you guys grow this channel so quickly with only 25 videos that’s crazy!!!!
No offense but is this a serious question?
Thank you!
It’s beautifully simple.
This channel has made be understand how easy you can gain riches
It is _indeed_ quite easy to become wealthy in these roaring 1890s. I can hardly wait to see what fortune the 20th century holds....
Just a small part of the book but its amazing that we are led to believe that society only realised how dangerous smoking was in the 90's and here is a book that calls out the danger of tobacco in 1882
thank you , that was very useful and i finished the whole video nice reading thanks
Subscribed... Thanks for the video.
Well I'm halfway done and haven't learned anything yet. Just some anecdotes about drinking, smoking, debt, entitled attitudes, knowing one's aptitude, well thanks, I didn't know any of that beforehand...
Thank you. I love the one.. x3

This is crazy interesting, just told my daughter to come listen 👂
I don’t know how I came across this, but I’m glad I did.
Yet another amazing narration
Thank you.
Wonderful book. I have learnt a lot.
Even though Barnum never ever said "There's one born every minute"(Sucker). I has no idea he was such a great conveyer of wisdom. It was quite a suprise as to how we'll read and articulate his thought process must have been to author this short jewel of wisdom. I found this a sincere effort at articulating his success. More substance than show from thec"World's Greatest Showman". A timeless message worth listen to.
Randy is a great reader, this was awesome. Liked and subbed
I'M so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever, hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

This old fella was ahead of his time he would have made a splendid rap hip/hop album 🤌
P. T. Barnum created the Barnum & Bailey Circus with James Anthony Bailey. Also, Former Mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut. One time he bought a blind, severely debilitated African-American woman named Joice Heth and advertised her as “the Greatest Natural and National Curiosity in the World.” He described himself as the “proprietor of the negress” even though slavery had been abolished in New York seven years earlier.
sounds like Clive Davis
Based Barnum been taggin bxtches and money getting
You missed why he billed her as "the Greatest Natural Curiosity.' He was told she was 161 years old, and had allegedly been George Washington's nurse. She went along with this story, telling tales of George as a boy. When she died and the doctor who did the autopsy declared she was actually about 80, Barnum insisted he had been duped.
