Ways To Achieve Wealth! #wealth #money #position #power Two Wealth Building Models Everyone wants to make more money, but people are generally split into two categories. These are: Those who bring results after they are promised wealth first  Or Those who bring the results first, then are rewarded by others afterwards. Let’s explore the two groups in depth. Those who only move their butts after promised big fat paychecks are more like employees, freshmen, or mercenaries. There is no right or no wrong with this kind of thinking, but consider: you are once again, trading your precious time for money. Instead of investing your time in an ASSET that generates money, you spend your time working on something that is short term, limited wealth, and does not give you income long after you have stopped working. Consider also, that this kind of short-term vision will only produce limited or temporary results at best. Ever seen a security guard asleep at work when the boss is not around? Furthermore, the part where our emotions get the better of us is when we allow our lives to be run by chasing the dollar. It is evident whenever an employee is offered a higher salary, more medical benefits and longer vacations, that their heart starts pumping faster.  A higher salary doesn’t mean less financial problems. On the contrary when your income goes up, your commitments, your tax bracket and your time spent in your company increases. Now let’s explore the other group. There are many creative people, inventors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who fall into this category. An entrepreneur is someone who always has good ideas. The first obstacle we need to overcome if we want to succeed in the second group is to stop working for money. If you lack the contacts for running a business, where would the best place to be to look for contacts? The bottom-line is: not everybody has what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur! It is not that easy. Many lack the perseverance, the creative mindset, the financial capabilities or the necessary people to get the job done and usually give up too early before any results can be seen! The fastest way to get those skills to succeed is to learn them hands on and you even get paid in the process! Don’t get absorbed with how much you are paid. Would you trade time for short term money? (Money stops coming in when you stop) Or Trade time and money for a long term asset that generates you income? (Even long after you have stopped) God created us with a brain. All we need to do is look around us and observe problems to overcome because every problem is an opportunity in disguise. You may or may not see the results in the short term, but by using our brains and the resources around us, we can create true value that others are willing to  pay for what we have to offer.

The Importance Of Financial Education #finance #money #invest You must FIRST invest in your Financial IQ. Having good financial IQ is not about saving tons of money or dumping them into mutual funds. It is developing a healthy relationship money and building a wealth of assets that will generate you money. What does it take to develop your financial IQ?Delayed gratification is one of the most important aspects to developing your financial IQ. Take this as a hypothetical example. Would you pay for a pint of milk or a cow? If you buy milk, it is consumed and it is over. You will have to buy milk over and over again when it is finished. Even if the milk costs less than a cow, in the long run, you will still be buying milk again and again. Now, if a cow were to cost 50 times more than milk, you might pay through your nose when you purchase the cow, but after consuming 50 pints worth of milk from the cow,you would break even on your investment and save more money in the future. In fact,the cow might give birth to 2 or more calves and you could sell one of them for profit! Get the idea? EVERYONE is capable of creating wealth. When you take a beat up old car and give it an overhaul, paint it with a new coat of paint, and change a few more parts to make it start running again, you could sell that car for more money than if it was just a beat up old car. You would have created wealth in the process!How about a farm? If you turn a farm into a country home getaway resort, wouldn’t the value of the farm land increase manifold?It is the same principle for chefs, computer programmers and craftsmen. The sum of the whole is greater than the parts. We are all capable of creating wealth even out of thin air and that is the first step to getting our creative juices flowing. The value of anything is defined by supply and demand.You don’t need to be a Major in economics to understand this. Money is just an idea.Remember the desert island example? The true measurement of money is not the cents or dollars it represents. If you have developed a product that people want, would they pay more to you than usual? Would you apply your skills in creating good assets? Bottom-line is this: Invest in assets that bring long term value. Anything that brings you more income is an asset. Don’t invest too much in liabilities like cars or boats.Even houses are not considered assets until they are fully paid off (If you lost your job tomorrow and you can’t pay for your house, is your house an asset or liability?) Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and pay the price for financial IQ or ignore the signs of the times and expect your boss, the government and the bank to take care of you financially for the rest of your life, living below your means and never taking risks to better your family’s future?

To obtain wealth, or have a value, just create a product that solves real world problem and advertise for people to use. #Keepbuilding

*Dear Black Children,* The world has it backward. We think success is about having people serve us. But the greatest leaders, wealthiest business people, and most powerful individuals got to where they are by serving others! America's 35th President John F. Kennedy once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Instead of waiting for opportunities, create them! What problems can you solve for your community? What value can you bring? That’s the real path to financial and personal success! Success is about impact, not entitlement. At least not like we thought when we were young. The more people you serve, the more valuable you become. The more valuable you become the more difficult it becomes for people to do away with you. Enjoy a prosperous weekend and may God cause his face to shine upon us and our families. 🎉🙏🏽
