In much the same way as you’d rehearse for a sales presentation or a concert you take the same approach with your mind. You practice until your new way of thinking becomes automatic i.e. the successful outcome is imprinted on your unconscious mind so strongly that your conscious thoughts are programmed for success. You basically visualise and rehearse circumstances, feelings, places etc., in your mind in order for them to manifest. This ‘mind rehearsal’ is in my opinion the most important thing you will do in your life... ... (read more)

Build Wealth Quickly - 3 Simple Asset Allocation, Wealth-Building Strategies

If you are wondering how to build wealth, then this article will give you a good overview of the 3 typical ways you can build wealth quickly. These aren't difficult to understand and others have made their millions by excelling at one of these choices.

Who doesn't dream of marching into their boss' office one day and resigning without caring about the financial repercussions? Well, you can only do so if you have acquired sufficient assets (wealth) through which you can generate a future income to replace your current earned income. By the way, as a rule of thumb I don’t recommend you hand in your resignation unless you have at least 1 and ideally 2 years living expenses put away in liquid assets.

Simply put, to become wealthy over time you basically need to make, save and invest money wisely. The smarter you are at doing this the faster you become wealthy. Assuming you’ve read my other articles on How to Get Rich (the making of and management of money) then you are ready to look at the 3 most common wealth building strategies of the super wealthy.

1. Investing in Paper Assets (Stocks, Bonds, Funds, Currency)
Investing in “paper assets” is a great way to start building wealth. It teaches you the principals of money management, capital, rates of returns, risk etc. You can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, and foreign exchange ("forex").

2. Investing in Real Estate
Real estate is another great way to build wealth. With real estate, you typically buy a property and then make money through selling it eventually for a much higher value than its purchase price and/or becoming a landlord and letting the property. One of the advantages of real estate investing is using the principle of leverage (i.e. a mortgage) to buy an asset that you otherwise couldn’t’t afford. Leverage isn’t commonly available in paper assets investing (although you can buy on margin but this can be risky if you don’t know what you’re doing!). (find out more)

3. Starting, or Owning a Business
Starting, or owning a business is another common wealth-building strategy. Starting a business doesn't always make you really wealthy right away. It takes time and energy to build the income of a business and its capital value, but it can make you wealthy over time if managed effectively. Therefore, if you have previous experience of running a business it can sometime makes more sense to buy an existing business and simply run it better.

How to Get Rich with Household Budgeting!

Getting rich is ultimately achievable by first stopping the process of becoming poorer.

When we think of How to Get Rich, we probably think of business tycoons like Richard Branson owning multiple businesses or real estate veterans like Donald Trump buying, selling real estate. Yet, initial wealth creation can start at a much simpler level. A very simple wealth creation fundamental is the rather unexciting yet highly powerful personal financial management skill we call ‘household budgeting’.

Household budgeting plays an important part in the process of eliminating debt, managing expenses and ultimately getting richer. Initially it can feel like an uninspiring task to undertake and ultimately manage so, not surprisingly, few people create a household budget and even fewer still stick to it. Yet it is an eye-opener for many people to learn that household budgeting is a key strategy in ultimately becoming rich.

The Leaky Bucket Syndrome

To demonstrate how vital household budgeting can be we can use a very simple illustration: Imagine that your job is to fill a bucket of water and carry it from point A to B. The more water you carry to point B, the better. However, your bucket is only half full when you get to B because lots of water has leaked out of numerous holes in the bottom of your bucket.

The obvious answer to this problem is: “Find a bucket without any holes in it dooh!”. But in the real world, where our income is equivalent to the water and our bucket is our bank balance, we often don't think about plugging up the holes. Instead, we try to figure out more ways to pour more "water" (i.e. income) into our "bucket"! This is fine so long as the leaky holes are plugged first.

Running your Household like a Business

The FIRST STEP in establishing any possible leaks in your bucket is to collect all of your necessary financial information. Start tracking all your expenses: categorize your expenses into both household and personal expenses; accurately estimate how much you spend on each on average each month.
The NEXT STEP is to enter your NET income (after tax) above the expenses and subtract one from the other to determine whether there is a negative or positive balance at the end of each month. If you end up with a negative balance do not reduce your original expense estimate to try and end up with a positive balance. We must be 100% honest with ourselves at this stage...

How to Get Rich – 7 Secrets from the Richest Man in Babylon

Babylon. Its very name conjures visions of wealth and splendor. Its treasures of gold and jewels were famous throughout the ancient world. The book, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason, was first published in the 1920s. It is written in parable form using old-English and speaks of gold and gold coins in lieu of modern-day currency but the message is right on the money (excuse the pun)! In the book, Babylon is experiencing an economic downturn and the King approaches the richest man in Babylon called Arkad to teach Babylon’s citizens on how to create wealth.
I’ve prepared a summary of the fundamental ‘how to get rich’ tips from Chapter 3 in the book called “7 Cures for a Lean Purse”. Here are the first three:

Step 1: Start Thy Purse to Fattening
Spend only 9 out of each 10 coins earned. Save one-tenth of what you earn for yourself for worthwhile use in the future. This is the crucial first step on your journey to becoming rich.

Step 2: Control Thy Expenditures
Budget for your expenses. Make sure you have enough coins to pay for your necessities. Only pay for your enjoyments and gratify your worthwhile desires if you can do so without spending more than nine-tenths of your earnings. Make sure that you can continue to save one-tenth of what you bring in.

Step 3: Make Thy Gold Multiply
Put each coin to labour so that it may reproduce its kind. As you start to build up your savings, invest that money so that it makes more money for you. Don’t leave your savings sitting dormant in a bank account (unless it’s a very high interest rate savings account). Worse still, don’t leave it under your mattress depreciating in value!
