How to get rich?

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

If you only care enough for a result you will almost certainly attain it. William James

"Our thoughts control our feelings and our feelings control our actions"

It gives me tremendous joy to look back and reflect upon all the creative ideas these entrepreneurs have taken back with them. What an enthusiasm the attendees demonstrated, to get to action and to see the fruits of success grow from the seeds of creativity.

And this again proved to be true when I conducted a workshop last week for entrepreneurs and small/medium businesses, ones who are facing challenges due to the season of lock-down, recession and pandemic.

I recall an important lesson that I had learnt about success, money and creativity: - Poverty is not lack of resources - Poverty is lack of creativity - Success and money flows towards creativity

"Before you can successfully label a startup idea valuable or demanded, you must first prove its validity."

"Poor mentality is more focused on negativities"

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work."

“Take the time to think about your savings, especially if you are in a job or field that doesn’t have guaranteed paid sick leave, or not too much of it,” says Allison Kade, the editorial director at Fabric

"You do need to focus on, well, emergency funds that you can draw from at a moment’s notice. The current coronavirus is more than enough reason to reassess this portion of your finances"

"Investing in stocks, as any financial planner will tell you, is a long game. In a national emergency while markets are volatile, it’s generally ill-advised to make any rash moves in that arena (though you should always aim to have a diversified portfolio)"

"To become a rich person, you need to take some action as well as having a vision of what you want."

Your most challenging moments in life can be your greatest opportunities to learn and grow as a person.

Your darkest moments can be the start of your new life

"Rich people focus on opportunities, poor people focus on obstacles"

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

"Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity."

"Most of you make a hamburger better than McDonald's. But the reason McDonald's is making millions and you're not is because McDonald's is excellent at business systems."

"Reasons people don’t get wealthy : 1. A lack of skills 2. Lack of taking risks 3. Not building a network 4. Poor work ethic 5. Not reading books 6. Giving up after getting beat down 7. Fear 8. Being born at the wrong time 9. Being born in the wrong country"

"According to physics, energy is never created nor destroyed it is merely transferred. Be mindful to what you give your energy."
