Transcript:<\/h4>\n

Kevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Last week on the show, I was talking to Michael Yardney about his new book \u201cMichael Yardney\u2019s Guide to Getting Rich.\u201d He joins me once again.
\nGood morning, Michael.
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 Good morning, Kevin.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Michael, interesting, I saw a blog that you wrote just recently in response to a question you had from someone who said, \u201cWhy would someone who\u2019s rich want to write a book about others getting rich?\u201d
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 I guess the implication in that, Kevin, was why would somebody who\u2019s rich share their secrets? Kevin, to me, that\u2019s the type of question asked by a poor person, somebody with a scarcity mentality.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 I understand what you mean.
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 Maybe I should first of all explain the reason I wrote it, and then I\u2019ll go back to why I think it\u2019s a scarcity mentality. Is that okay?
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Please do.
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 The reason I took the time to write my book is because I enjoy writing about the topic of the psychology of success. Kevin, it\u2019s a topic I\u2019ve been studying carefully for over 25 years. Over the last 10 or 12 years now, I\u2019ve been mentoring people, and I\u2019ve been writing about wealth creation online and in hard-copy magazines. I\u2019m proud that a lot of people recognize me as a leading expert in this field. That makes me pleased to share my knowledge.
\nKevin, in fact, I think it\u2019s my obligation to share my knowledge and give back to the world that has given me so much. But, of course, it actually helps that I\u2019ve got the time and freedom to do what I please because I\u2019ve built a substantial property portfolio that\u2019s given me the cash machine I talk about.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 The other thing, too, Michael, I have noticed in life that if you really like doing something and you want to become better at it, the best way to do it is to actually share that knowledge because it\u2019s a learning process, as well.
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 Kevin, a lot of people misunderstand the mentoring relationship. They see it as one-sided, that a student takes from a teacher. In fact \u2013 you\u2019re right \u2013 it\u2019s the other way around. I find that by helping people, by mentoring people, it actually doesn\u2019t just pay forward, it doesn\u2019t just give back to the community, I gain a lot from it. It\u2019s very much a win-win, Kevin.
\nNow that also goes together with the concept of why I think the question of \u201cWhy would you even want to share your secrets?\u201d comes from a scarcity mentality because it doesn\u2019t work that way at all. Kevin, if I build a big property portfolio, does it stop you from getting one?
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 No.
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 No. If I get a big share portfolio, does it stop you from building one? But most people think either\/or, and that\u2019s not the case at all. Again, there are no secrets that I\u2019m actually giving away. There are no secrets in this book.
\nIt\u2019s just a concept I was saying that people think, \u201cWell, the wealthy people have got these ideas, and they\u2019re not going to share them.\u201d No. There\u2019s enough for everyone, and there\u2019s definitely enough to go around.
\nMy thinking is the more wealthy people in Australia, the better it is for everybody. It lifts us up to a standard rather than brings us down to a standard that some people want us to live at, those people who aren\u2019t pleased when they see other people successful.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Well, Michael, I certainly hope that message does resonate and that many more people do want to or aspire to do that. A good way to do it, of course, is to simply get a copy of Michael\u2019s book, which is called \u201cMichael Yardney\u2019s Guide to Getting Rich.\u201d As we promised last week, there is a button on the homepage at RealEstateTalk.com.au for you to go straight through, and it\u2018ll tell you how you can secure that book for yourself.
\nMichael, thank you so much for your time.
\nMichael<\/b>:\u00a0 My pleasure, Kevin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
