For a lot of people, this isn't easy. There seems to be so much to learn. Start with small things such as reading the financial section of a newspaper or magazine. Don't try to understand everything, just read it to get familiar with the terminology. Ignore the part of you that wants to run away.
Wealthy people are familiar with the money world.
Clean out the old. Get rid of the clutter in your life that keeps you connected to your past. Make way for a positive future. Talk to successful people and read biographies of those who have overcome obstacles to create success. Be inspired by others who have accomplished what seemed impossible.
