Wealth is First of All a Mindset

Building wealth is a mind game

Building wealth is a skill — that means wealth creation starts in your mind.

Until your perspectives, assumptions, beliefs and ability to generate wealth is healthy, you will waste a lot of time in the process of trying.

If you want enough money to work on your own terms, support your family and pursue projects you deeply care about, improve your ability to generate and protect wealth.

“Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think,” says Ayn Rand.

Wealth in the conventional sense may mean a combination of assets: investments, real estate and cash.

But real wealth is fundamentally your ability to improve your asset acquisition and make it work for you.

Think of it this way: financial knowledge is the fundamental asset for making money. It takes a wealthy mind to create wealth.

Without the mental state to support what you have, you are likely to lose your assets very soon.

Not every rich person is wealthy. “True wealth is not of the pocket, but of the heart and of the mind,” Kevin Gates said.
