For The Long Term - Wealth Building 101

By Frank Miller


The internet offers two things a possibility of wealth and a possibility of victimization. In our quest to obtain the freedom we want to enjoy. The freedom to live our lives as old blues eyes use to say "My Way" is a road filled with obstacles and detours. It is an undeniable fact that more people lose money in striving to reach instant wealth. This does not pertain to only the internet it pertains to all the ways people build their business. 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.

Most of the people I talked to have college degrees, but they didn't know the basics of wealth creation. Sure, you could fail and that's what stops most people succeeding, but if you have the right method and the right attitude, you can win in building wealth. Once you have set the goals for your wealth building, the next step of financial planning is to lay down a feasible and precise plan.

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.

Consider this, if you make 100% on 5,000 you have $10,000 but do the same again and you have $20,000 and this exponential growth can build huge money in time. Building wealth means finding out what you can do, and what you can do to make money with the skills that you have. Financial growth involves the ownership of multiple money producing assets that flow to you, not money draining assets that flow from you. One of the least utilized techniques for building wealth is to set aside money in separate accounts. Another important aspect of building wealth is to know what to do when the money does start to come in. If you are unsure of where to start and feel like you just aren't cut out for wealth building, there are programs that will instruct you further.
