Who doesn't dream of marching into their boss' office one day and resigning without caring about the financial repercussions? Well, you can only do so if you have acquired sufficient assets (wealth) through which you can generate a future income to replace your current earned income. By the way, as a rule of thumb I don't recommend you hand in your resignation unless you have at least 1 and ideally 2 years living expenses put away in liquid assets. Simply put, to become wealthy over time you basically need to make, save and invest money wisely. The smarter you are at doing this the faster you become wealthy. Assuming you've read my other articles on How to Get Rich (the making of and management of money) then you are ready to look at the 3 most common wealth building strategies of the super wealthy.
The more common way at this point is through the internet. This of course is due to the low cost in joining an MLM or a Network Marketing group. As a Life Coach let me give you this piece of advice "caveat emptor" which means "let the buyer beware." The 40 thieves may very well be a children's story, but there are real thieves out there, who claim to have your best interest in mind, while they take all they can from you. In the process of wealth building the fundamentals of business is never set aside because of what someone says what you can do, when the truth is that it may take 2-3 years or more to establish yourself anywhere. This would be inclusive of brick and motor business models to Multi-Level business models. You are probably aware that many of these Network Marketing Models are scams. They will claim the easy fortunes that you can make if you follow their system.
Once you have set the goals for your wealth building, the next step of financial planning is to lay our a feasible and executable plan. For instance, if your short term goal is to own a beautiful home in five years, you would plan to put $20,000 down for the down payment for your house five years from now.
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).
By developing a plan and sticking to it, you will easily be able to accomplish your goal. For many financial planners, they recommend keeping a journal and a list of your finances. This way you can see what you are saving and why you are saving it. For instance, if you go to the grocery store twice a week, keep the receipts and do the math to consolidate your balance monthly.
Starting, or owning a business is another common wealth-building strategy. Starting a business doesn't always make you really wealthy right away. It takes time and energy to build the income of a business and its capital value, but it can make you wealthy over time if managed effectively. Therefore, if you have previous experience of running a business it can sometime makes more sense to buy an existing business and simply run it better. Want to know how to build wealth starting or owning a business? Find something that you love to do and that solves the needs of a target market. Then sell that product or service through relentless marketing and sales. Create efficient systems to sell more, more often. And work towards growing the value of your business by making it less dependent on you so that you can eventually sell it to a new owner. Bill Gates is a great example of someone who created serious wealth by starting a business. Whatever way you chose to start building wealth, always remember those words from the mouth of antihero Gordon Gecko in the movie Wall Street..."Money never sleeps pal". Different asset class values will shift in time (daily/monthly/annually) and according to market cycles. It's also a good idea to scrutinize your assets and then take steps to re-balance your portfolio periodically. You also need to match risk to what stage you are in life. So, want to know how to build wealth quickly? It's simple: Take your hard-earned money, save as much as you can as you go and then choose a strategy (from above) and consistently, month by month, year by year, apply yourself to these wealth building strategies.
