As humorous as it sounds creating wealth is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Building wealth of any nnsubstantial amount takes basic principles and disciplines.
Let me be the first to say that creating wealth is the boring part. Yes it's true that if you feel like nnanalyzing stocks charts or facing tough decisions with evicting nonpaying renters, running around nntrying to find that one good deal that you heard about in the paper.
If you like dealing with phone calls in the middle of the night because the water heater blew out or nnthe toilet is clogged. Worse yet you get that call in the middle of the day from your financial nnanalyst that you lost enormous amounts due to a bad trade in the market because they didn't see nnit coming.
If these are issues that you are interested in by all means have at it. However if it's long term nnstress investments that you are seeking, look no further.
Building wealth is as simple as laying the foundation, setting the boundaries and playing by the nnrules.
Laying the foundation requires a very basic understanding of the pillars of wealth.
The first pillar consists of you, your health and your wealth.
The second pillar comes from structure and organization.
The third pillar comes from knowing your investor makeup.
The fourth pillar is choosing the right investments.
The sixth pillar is the knowledge of time value of money.
The seventh pillar is execution of decision.
The eighth pillar is calculating risk.
The ninth pillar consists of monetization and maintenance.
The tenth pillar is tax strategy.
The eleventh pillar is your asset protection.
The twelfth pillar is your exit strategy.
To build great wealth is a due process. The preparation it takes to exercise the building of a nnhouse or large building is the same. You must have a plan and lay a solid foundation. Then only nncan you begin to build strength and momentum in a vertical upright position.
If your financial foundations are weak then your entire house built out of credit cards may come nncrumbling down right on top of you. However if you lay out a solid foundation of money nnmanagement your sure to be a success.
Plan for two lives right from the start. You need a short term financial plan as well as a long term nnretirement strategy. You also need to keep an alte
ate and impartial view when it comes to your nninvestments.
Never mix emotions into your investment strategy. Never follow the crowd, by the time you hear nnabout it's usually to late.
Learn about the alte
atives no one else is talking about. Why do you think the richest men in the nnwold aren't speaking up about their own personal portfolios?
