The 3 Questions. (Everything You Need to Know About Creating Wealth)

I’ve recently had several thought-provoking conversations centered around three fundamental questions:

  • What is Wealth? 
  • How do you create Wealth (without becoming a workaholic?)
  • Why is creating Wealth so scary?

Today, I’d like to share my perspective on these questions. Let’s begin with the first—what is wealth?

Simply put, Wealth is having more than you need…so money ceases to be a source of stress and becomes a tool for living life fully.

But like any tool, you must understand how to use it skillfully and wisely to get maximum benefit with minimum risk. Which brings us to the 2nd question.

Creating Wealth is actually quite simple. Just follow these four rules:

  1. Spend less
  2. Save more
  3. Invest wisely
  4. Give generously. In that order!!!

The first 3 are the How’s. The 4th is the Why

If it’s that simple, why is it so scary, so daunting?

Because the 3rd rule—investing wisely—feels r-r-r-risky. But as Warren Buffet once said: “Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.”  In other words:

In other words, the biggest risk you take, in investing as in life, is making decisions based on fear, ignorance or habit…rather than knowledge (knowledge about investing AND yourself). 

The more you understand the way investing works AND what makes you tick, the easier it is to separate from the herd, manage your emotions, and make informed decisions.

Now it’s your turn. Do you agree or disagree with my responses? Leave me a comment below.
