The Wealthy Gardener - by John Soforic (Hardcover)

About the Book

"The Wealthy Gardener is a hybrid. It is half fiction, half nonfiction. Chapters are divided into life lessons, each opening with a fictional story followed by real-life anecdotes. Why this format? As a father I wanted to engage my son in many lessons on wealth, but I didn't want to preach at him. A better way to do it then was by creating a parable. Like reading a biography for pleasure and insight, learning through stories can be more enjoyable and profound. While this approach comes at the risk of oversimplifying principles, it is a risk chosen for the greater good of clarity. The hybrid format remains the best way to entertain, engage, and explain the lessons of prosperity"--

Book Synopsis

A heartwarming series of stories and practical wisdom on entrepreneurship and wealth in the vein of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written by a financially independent father for his ambitious son.

Soon after he opened his vineyard for business many years ago, the Wealthy Gardener noticed a puzzling fact. Everyone wanted money, but only a few people managed to accumulate it. The reason, he realized, is that most people focus on short term gains instead of achieving lasting wealth.

As he grew old and aware of his dwindling time on this Earth, the Wealthy Gardener began to share his hard-earned wisdom with the financially troubled in his community, patiently mentoring those who asked for his practical advice on the ways of prosperity.

The parable of the Wealthy Gardener is far more than an admonishment to earn more or spend less; it is about timeless principles. As his lessons reveal, financial freedom is a means to power and control over our lives. Without money, we are subject to the demands and whims of others. With money, we are sheltered from the storm, and we can extend that shelter to our loved ones.

Poised to become an intimate financial classic, The Wealthy Gardener will inspire readers to find their own noble purpose and relieve their money worries once and for all. No matter your income level, skillset, or unique economic disadvantages, the lessons in this book will show you the path forward. All you need is the will to work, the desire to succeed, and the motivation to learn.
