The Wealth Formula - How To Apply The Principles Of Building Wealth

So you really want to accomplish wealth. You've realized that having a high net-worth, and ideally, one or more passive sources of income, are major keys to bringing happiness to you and those you care about. Well, I'm here to encourage you 100% in the pursuit of that objective! I believe that accomplishing wealth is one of the most worthy objectives anyone could have. And to help you along, let me share with you a number of the key determinants of accomplishing wealth: committing to financial freedom; having a positive, "never give up" attitude or mindset; seeking guidance from a qualified mentor; taking action to bring about your objectives; and following a daily plan to ensure you take the required action every single day.
At the same time, there are also ideas about developing wealth that you might as well dismiss. These are the ideas perpetuated by either people who, selfishly, don't want others to know how they can develop wealth, or those who are inherently cynical and can't fathom the idea that they could obtain wealth if they just changed the way they thought about things. What are these erroneous ideas? Well, one of the major ones is the idea that you already need to be financially well-off in order to achieve even greater riches. Baloney! There are so many people who have become well-off from having absolutely zero that it's not even worth considering such a viewpoint for more than a nanosecond. Another falsehood is the idea that you have to follow a certain approach - e.g. trade the markets or invest in property, or whatever - if you're to ever develop wealth. Again, there are too many exceptions to this "rule" that it's not worth giving the idea the time of the day.
In reality, developing wealth begins with how you think. This means a few things. For one thing, it means believing that you have what it takes to develop riches. For another thing, it means determining that you'll do everything possible - i.e. that's legal, moral and ethical - to develop the level of wealth you want.
One of the key principles of building wealth is the principle of taking action. Taking action is all about making it happen. In other words, once you know what should be done, you stop being lazy and actually DO IT. Some people argue that "taking action" is too simplistic. That there may be a variety of reasons why someone can't take action, and that these reasons are what prevents that person from acquiring the wealth they desire. Well, there may well be challenges on the path to wealth. You may be in a lowly paid job. You may be living from paycheck to paycheck. You may not have any money. You may be in debt. But are any of those reasons enough to stop you from taking action?
The answer is "no." You see, if you face obstacles on the path to building wealth, then, to begin with, "making it happen" may simply be taking whatever measures are necessary to overcome those challenges. For example, if you don't have much money right now, taking action doesn't necessarily mean investing in the stock market! It could be, however, cutting your spending and paying off debts. However, not doing anything - and instead lamenting your situation instead of taking measures to get out of it - WILL hold you back from building wealth.
For most people, the journey towards wealth is not something that happens overnight. Nor does it rely on good luck or joining the latest "get rich quick" scheme. There are all kinds of ways to acquire wealth - from investing to running a business. But the "how" is often not the critical piece in the wealth formulaMuch more important is the desire to acquire wealth and the application of the tried and true wealth building principles necessary to build it.
