America's poor, working poor, and middle class are in a waiting game they cannot win. Jobs will not come, times will not get better, and communities will not flourish until they "get the memo"--that is, take charge of their own financial futures. Bestselling author John Hope Bryant (How the Poor Can Save Capitalism--40,000 copies sold) tells them how.

Seller's Description:
Good. xxxvi, 115, [7] pages. Resources. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads Rick, with hope for the Memo John Hope Bryant. Yellow highlighting noted. Ink notes at the rep. John Hope Bryant (born February 6, 1966) is an American financial literacy entrepreneur and businessman. Bryant is the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of nonprofit Operation HOPE, chief executive officer of Bryant Group Ventures and The Promise Homes Company, co-founder of Global Dignity, advisor to business and government and author of best-selling books on economics and leadership. He served as vice-chair of President Bush's Council on Financial Literacy, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Financial Capability, the vice chair on the U.S. President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy and as the chairman of the Committee on the Underserved. Bryant inspired the creation of the City of Los Angeles loan fund (Administration of Mayor Tom Bradley), financial literacy as U.S. federal government policy, (George W. Bush Administration), U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Entrepreneurship Education (George W. Bush Administration), emergency financial disaster preparedness, response and recovery federal policy framework for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/FEMA (George W. Bush Administration), commitments for 100+ local financial literacy councils across the U.S., and formalized the inclusion of FEMA into federal financial capability policy (a seat on the U.S. Financial Literacy & Education Commission for the Obama Administration). True power in this world comes from economic independence, but too many people have too much month left at the end of their money. John Hope Bryant, founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, illuminates the path toward liberation that is hiding in plain sight. His message is simple: the supermajority of people who live in poverty, whom Bryant calls the invisible class, as well as millions in the struggling middle class, haven't gotten the memo, until now. Building on his personal experience of rising up from economically disadvantaged circumstances and his work with Operation HOPE, Bryant teaches readers five rules that lay the foundation for achieving financial freedom. He emphasizes the inseparable connection between inner capital (mindset, relationships, knowledge, and spirit) and outer capital (financial wealth and property). If you have inner capital, Bryant writes, you can never be truly poor. If you lack inner capital, all the money in the world cannot set you free. Bryant gives readers tools for empowerment by covering everything from achieving basic financial literacy to investing in positive relationships and approaching wealth with a completely new attitude. He makes this bold and controversial claim: Once you have satisfied your basic sustenance needs, food, water, health, and a roof over your head, poverty has more to do with your head than your wallet. Bryant wants to restore readers' civil rights, giving them the ability to succeed and prosper no matter what very real roadblocks society puts in their way. We have more power than we realize, if only we can recognize and claim it. We are our first capital, Bryant writes. We are the CEOs of our own lives..
