For The Long Term - Wealth Building 101

By Frank Miller


Getting rich isn't all about hard work. In fact hard work has got little to do with getting rich. It's not that I don't advocate hard work, I do. I love working hard but I especially like to see myself and others working smart. I know that getting rich and achieving success is not exclusively the domain of blood, sweat and tears. I've seen friends, work colleagues and family work themselves to the bone for little or no reward.

There is a cult of self-sacrifice evident in our culture that warrants you to be extra busy, working super hard, and putting in crazy hours. When it comes to personal building wealth and attaining success, you're the golden goose. However, you can only push the golden goose so hard before he/she stops laying those golden eggs. Without exception every golden goose will eventually run out of energy, capacity or enthusiasm. Therefore, learning how to utilise Other Peoples Time, Money and Skills (i.e. leveraging) is a pre-requisite to becoming rich, building wealth and achieving success.

Some people boast as to how much money they made from some venture, this makes others feel bad, that they did not get the piece of the pie. Wealth is energy, people will either vibrate with it or not. You can build your own empire, provided that you have the end in mind. You want a million dollar lifestyle then you must build it. How? There is only one way and that is to keep the main thing (your business) the main thing (not be distracted by other things or claims). The success of many businesses is created through longevity. That is an undeniable fact. Any company to be on the top rung of the ladder has brought itself there through persistence and planning. Success is not luck.

The key ingredient that separates winners from losers is discipline and playing the odds at the right time, if you adopt the mindset to succeed, have confidence and are prepared to take calculated risks you can win in what is probably the most lucrative of all ways to build wealth fast. To build wealth you need to balance the risk reward and aim for the highest reward, with low downside risk.

Land in the right location tends to appreciate at a strong upward rate, with very low downside risk and tends to have far better risk reward for example than mutual funds. Its not just the upside potential it's the fact that it tends to lack downside risk. When you invest you want to compound your money and make your money do the work of making more money and this means not aiming for the biggest growth but the best growth you can with low downside risk.

Consider this, if you make 100% on 5,000 you have $10,000 but do the same again and you have $20,000 and this exponential growth can build huge money in time. Building wealth means finding out what you can do, and what you can do to make money with the skills that you have. Financial growth involves the ownership of multiple money producing assets that flow to you, not money draining assets that flow from you. One of the least utilized techniques for building wealth is to set aside money in separate accounts. Another important aspect of building wealth is to know what to do when the money does start to come in. If you are unsure of where to start and feel like you just aren't cut out for wealth building, there are programs that will instruct you further.
