The Jewish community is known for its business success, and a video reveals 10 "commandments of prosperity" from the book "10 Commandments to Prosper in Business" by Rabbi Daniel Pencil. These commandments include:
1. Financial education from a young age, using a jar system to teach children about financial discipline.
2. Expanding your network of contacts by genuinely taking an interest in people.
3. Foreseeing the future by subdividing prevention and planning into five methods: recognizing what can and cannot affect you, interpreting events without emotion, looking for answers to doubts, being attentive to patterns, and educating yourself.
4. Leadership is built, not born, and is about having followers.
5. Adapting to changes by keeping an open mind and getting rid of old things to make way for new and better ones.
6. Understanding that money is a simple trading system based on trust and is a physical representation of what you have done for others.
7. Never retiring, as planning to retire at a certain age can lead to unhappiness, and instead, continuing to work and add value to the world.
8. Giving away 10% of your money to charities or other means to help those in need.
9. Doing business honestly and with morality, creating products or services that people want or need, and making the world a better place.
10. Forgetting perfection and creating contingency plans to deal with problems and imperfections.
These commandments are not exclusive to the Jewish community and can be applied by anyone to achieve financial success.
