Rockefeller himself knew how to raise turkeys as a child and then sell them at the market.
When he was a young entrepreneur, due to poor cash flow in his business, he borrowed money from his father and happily accepted the 10% interest rate.
In the Rockefeller family, there is never free money, and every penny is obtained with one's own labor.
This belief has made the family prosperous. Rockefeller said: "The ability to make money is a gift given by God to the Rockefeller family." In fact, talent is one aspect, and excellent family education is the key factor in truly achieving greatness.
From the letter written by Rockefeller Sr. To his son John Jr., I can see how he carefully corrected every mistake of the next generation and gave him wise guidance.
Rockefeller once owed a friend 5 cents in change. The friend asked him not to be polite, but he insisted on putting the coin into his friend's pocket and solemnly said: "This is a full year's interest on one dollar."
It can be seen that all wealth myths have stories behind them, and the same is true for the Rockefeller family.
Rockefeller's vast wealth came from the fact that he carefully captured every penny.
Every penny must be spent in the right place. This may be the secret of Rockefeller's building such a huge wealth.
And we are undoubtedly lucky to see the notes left by this wise man.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, we can see further.
Pursue the source of wisdom behind wealth and draw on the powerful motivation for life's struggle.
