It’s funny how the chapter called “Getting Started” comes near the end of the book.

But maybe that’s the whole point.

Starting isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a daily choice. A constant commitment to keep showing up, even when you’re tired, even when motivation fades, even when life tries to push you around.

In our Powerful Creator Mastermind, we dove deep into what it truly means to begin. Not just reading Chapter 9 of Rich Dad Poor Dad but sitting with it, breaking it down, and making it personal.

Because here’s the truth: creating wealth isn’t just about knowing what to do. It’s about actually doing it. It’s about action. It’s about momentum. It’s about moving, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Let’s break it down.

💡 3 Powerful Takeaways from the Conversation

1. Your WHY Must Be Bigger Than Your Fear

If your reason for building wealth only touches your bank account and not your soul, you won’t make it through the challenges. Your WHY must pull you through doubt, fear, delays, and fatigue. It has to be deeper than money, something you feel in your bones.

2. Wealth Is Built Daily Through Choices, Not Chance

Financial freedom is not accidental; it’s intentional. Every day you have a choice: spend or invest, learn or scroll, commit or quit. Those small, daily decisions add up over time, creating real momentum.

3. Who You Surround Yourself With Determines Your Success

Association matters deeply. If you’re around people who talk small, complain, or stay stuck, their mindset will rub off. But when you surround yourself with creators, investors, dreamers (people who push forward) you become unstoppable.

10 Steps from Chapter 9 “Getting Started” (Rich Dad Poor Dad):

Find a Reason Greater Than Reality (The Power of Spirit)

Your reason (your WHY) must inspire you deeply enough to overcome obstacles.
Make Daily Choices (The Power of Choice)

Wealth is built one intentional decision at a time.
Choose Friends Wisely (The Power of Association)

Surround yourself with people who uplift and challenge you financially and personally.
Master a Formula, Then Learn Another (The Power of Learning Quickly)

Keep learning new strategies and stay adaptable.
Pay Yourself First (The Power of Self-Discipline)

Invest in yourself and your assets before spending money on liabilities or expenses.
Pay Your Brokers Well (The Power of Good Advice)

Seek expert advice and mentorship; invest in professional wisdom.
Be an Indian Giver (The Power of Getting Something for Nothing)

Prioritize getting your initial investment back quickly, then reinvest profits into new opportunities.
Use Assets to Buy Luxuries (The Power of Focus)

Purchase assets first; let the cash flow from assets fund your lifestyle and desires.
Choose Heroes (The Power of Myth)

Find financial role models who inspire you and emulate their strategies.
Teach and You Shall Receive (The Power of Giving)

When you teach others, you reinforce your own learning and open yourself to receiving even more.

🔥 3 Specific Action Steps to Apply Now

1. Write Down Your WHY. Clearly and Boldly

Grab your journal, open a fresh page, and write out your reason for building wealth.

Make it personal, powerful, and specific.

Write it boldly. So it stirs something inside you.

Keep it where you’ll see it every day to remind yourself why you’re committed.

2. Schedule a Weekly “Money Power Hour”

Pull out your calendar and block off at least one hour every week solely for your financial growth. Use this hour to read, research assets, review your accounts, or study financial strategies.

Consistency creates momentum, honor this commitment as sacred time.

3. Audit Your Circle Then Add a Wealth Mentor

Take inventory of your closest relationships.

Are they pushing you forward or holding you back?

Then intentionally find and add one wealth-building mentor or join a financial community. Follow their content, read their books, or engage regularly in financial conversations to shift your mindset upward.

💖 Personal Note from Amber Breanna

We are out here, Powerful Creators!!

This work matters.

This space matters.

And I’m so grateful that we’re choosing to show up, to learn, and to build, together.

The truth is, none of us were taught this stuff growing up. But it doesn’t matter where we started, it matters that we’re here, taking responsibility, and changing the game right now.

Remember, wealth-building isn’t something you check off your list. It’s a lifestyle, a practice, a daily decision. It’s okay if it feels challenging. It’s okay if you have to take it step-by-step. That’s how it’s supposed to feel when you’re doing something truly transformative.

So stay committed. Keep educating yourself.

Set aside your Money Power Hour every single week.

Dive deeper into your financial literacy.

Use the resources around you; books, blogs, YouTube, ChatGPT, and most importantly, this community.

Next week, we wrap up this journey we’ve been on with Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Then, we’re diving into our next powerful read: The Psychology of Money.

I’m excited for where we’re headed.

I’m excited for what we’re creating.

Let’s keep going.

We’re already on the way.

With love & power,

Amber Breanna ❤️
