Whenever we read about building wealth or even attend a seminar for that purpose, we usually start by assessing our present financial status. When Building Wealth by Russ Whitney was first released in 1994, it was hailed as a cutting-edge, comprehensive book that offered a step-by-step plan to reach financial independence and build long-term wealth. With a successful wealth building strategy comes the understanding of what kinds of diversification offer you the protection you need from taking great losses in the short and long term. As far as courage goes when it comes to wealth building, many people tend to be like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.
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.
They say "If you can't defend you won't win no matter how good your attack is" and it's the same in creating wealth. The first and utmost important thing for wealth building is that you have to have a big enough nest egg to grow your money no matter what strategies you use - real estate investing or stock market investment. The key is to maintain a will do mindset, use what you've got that may have more value to others, and find inspiring ways to have other people invest in your wealth building program.
The richest and especially the wealthiest people in the world have known about leveraging Other People's Money for years. Everyone from Jean Paul Getty, Aristotle Onassis and Donald Trump have excelled at this wealth building principle numero uno. Their use of OPM to buys assets is legendary. Onassis in particular is known for having secured contracts to transport ore and oil in ships and tankers he didn't yet own and then going to the banks securing the loans to buy the ships and tankers using the contracts. A brazen and gifted deal-maker if there ever was one! People go about building wealth or acquiring assets in different ways based on their background, past experiences and what they have been taught or know about money. For the most part people think of great riches and wealth as largely unattainable because of the model or mindset they have about money. What most people fail to understand is that you actually don't need money to make money. Sure it helps but what you really need is access to Other People's Money in order to make money.
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.
This process takes time, I know we all have seen "The Secret" and they did make a point that it doesn't happen overnight. They couldn't tell you how long it will take, but what was the prevalent theme? Keep in good spirits and keep working on what it is that you want. I believe this is the greatest and wisest piece of advice to give anyone who truly wants more in life. Let us get real. You want to accomplish something great, start moving into that direction and it will happen, if you apply the fundamental's of business and manage your money correctly. A wealth building plan is not difficult to set up, I can teach in a day! Not all the details but general overview.
