People You Should Know - Larry Winget

Filed Under Debt, People You Should Know, Personal Development |

Let me warn you, “It’s about to get ugly.”

That is a quote taken from the self-proclaimed “Pitbull of Personal Development” ®. Winget is brutal. He raw. He’s entertaining. He’s in your face. But most importantly, he’s right.

He won’t listen to your sorry excuses for why you don’t have any money, why you don’t have a decent job, why you can’t pay your bills, or why you have so much debt. There is no room for negotiation with him. “If your life sucks, it’s because you suck!”

Even the title of his books may frighten you:
“Your Broke Because You Want To Be”
“It’s Called Work for a Reason”
“Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life”

Hear some of these quotes straight from his own mouth.

One thing he has in common with other personal development gurus is that he has his own set of steps for you to follow.

Larry’s Twelve Ways to Go from Getting By to Getting Ahead

1. Know where you are.
2. Take responsibility for the situation.
3. Feel bad about it. Experience remorse.
4. Make the decision for things to be different.
5. Know exactly what you want your life to look like.
6. Create an action plan to get there.
7. Know what you are willing to give up to get what you want.
8. Spend less than you earn.
9. Figure out ways to earn more.
10. Stop all unnecessary spending.
11. Pay off debts as quickly as possible and only go into debt for things with long-term value.
12. Build a cushion. Save!

Is Larry Winget too much? I’m not so sure.
