Information that got you in the Fastlane mindset

[squall74]

It's been quite a while since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad, about 8 years ago while going to school. I read it from a recommendation from a computer forum when asked about books that changed their life. Before reading it I assumed that all rich people were either lucky, or inherited their wealth from family. The concept of business eluded me and my mindset was to get a good job, live below my means, and save a lot of money so I can buy a house with a huge down payment. I figured the extent of my life was going to be upper-middle class at best by ways of saving money and cutting coupons.

Since reading that book I changed my thought process. I was severely depressed when I started reading the book and took years to get to a point where I could say to myself "I can be wealthy if I apply myself." I devoured investing and real estate books by getting my library card and visiting all the libraries that carried the next book I want to read (we didn't have drop services back then, so I physically had to go to each library.) I firmly believe real estate is the path for me in getting to the Fastlane. I enjoy learning about it, and the fact I can leverage good debt to accelerate my voyage. I've read about an average of 10-15 books a year not just on real estate but wealth creation through other avenues.

The book did have it's downsides, but I am not blaming Robert Kiyosaki for my sidetracking. Reading MJ's story I did the same thing when he was figuring out what type of business he wanted to run. I did the MLMs, several failed business ventures (not too big so I didn't lose much capital), and also several failed sales jobs (wanted to gain experience for future deals). Now I see that RK has a huge workshop, and reading several threads I can see that just reading the first book was enough to get me started.

My question to you is: what was the first piece of information that changed the way you saw money and make the Fastlane attainable for you? I can imagine RDPD would be the biggest answer but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
