The First Secret To Creating Wealth

There are many ways to become wealthy. Some methods are complex, and some are rather simple; but none are easy. All require good planning, a certain amount of risk, and a lot of determination.

This all depends, of course, on exactly what your definition of "wealthy" is. To some folks wealthy will always mean having a certain amount of money - having $XX in the account. To others, being wealthy means having enough to share or having peace of mind or any of the other hundreds of definitions that there are.

For our purpose here, let's agree that wealthy means having money. Maybe for you that means enough so that you don't have to worry. Or maybe it means enough to share. It could be that you want to be secure enough to know you'll never run out.

It doesn't really matter because we've already determined that it takes at least some money to achieve any dream.

So where does that money come from? Obviously, there are dozens of sources and hundreds of possible steps and variations on those sources and steps. The many processes involved in the art and skill of making a lot of money can be amazingly intricate and complex. But the basics are actually quite simple.

This is a brief interruption for a required disclaimer since I have no desire to be sued by someone who has a problem and wants to blame me. This is not the last time you will see this message.

And now - back to the discussion.

  • Identify dreams and goals
  • Create income
  • Live on less than that income
  • Save religiously
  • Protect yourself
  • Invest wisely
  • Increase income
  • Increase investments

The list looks so simple. Simple, but not always easy. That's the first secret.

So here you have the next several weeks worth of subjects. I hope you'll join me and make this a true discussion. I'm anxious to read your comments.

Day 23 - Make A Wish

We're up to number 23 in the 30 days of blogging , and although I have missed some days this has still been the best thing that could ever happen to this journal. Prompt 23 is an especially fun one; make a wish! When I was a teenager and going through some difficulties, my school couselor would often ask me what I would wish for if I had the proverbial three wishes. Back then it all seemed so simple. I would always answer that I only needed one wish: for everybody in the world to have all they needed and be happy. In my mind then, that meant that everybody would have all their wishes granted! I suppose that now I should have a more practical view of real life. And in some ways that earlier wish seems simplistic and unrealistic. There are some people who never have "enough" and some who refuse to be happy. So as I grew older my wishes stayed generally the same became more specific. My wish is that everyone could be well nourished and healthy. That no one would ever...

Number 1 is Gratitude

This is day #1 in Susan Loughrin's 30 Days of Blogging . I promise to try and keep up. :) #1 - Gratitude There have been so many blessings in my life that it's hard to choose just one to write about. But since that is the assignment, I will. Bea Kunz has been more than just a client, and more than just a friend. When I'm down she encourages me. When I'm up she rejoices with and for me. And she manages to do this for everybody. Generous is the best way to describe Bea. Not only does she grow and sell the most divine seasonings and teas, but she shares her knowledge and advice with any and all who ask. I am thankful for many people in my life. I must remember to express that more often.

Day 21 - Changes

Number 21 in the 30 days of blogging is to notice what's changing as we post during this project. Other than the obvious change of making more posts, I wasn't sure if anything had changed. I find that it's definitely easier to post when there is a set topic or question to answer. And thinking about some of the prompts has given me ideas about how to include a broader range of subjects within my theme. This can only mean good things for my business and my mission. Thanks Susan!
