Wealth Creation: What Is It?

The Philosophy Of Wealth - Overview

Wealth - is something anyone can obtain. Possibly the most sought after possession in the entire world; BUT unfortunately it is also the least understood.

Most people view wealth as having money and/or being rich and that is everything wealth is NOT!

 Yes wealthy people have money and yes it could be said that they are rich, but wealth - true wealth - is so much more than that AND lasts indefinitely.

- What Is  True Wealth?

I will start with what wealth is not:
- It is not just having a lot of money
- It is not just being rich
- It is not just having the ability to buy whatever you want or do what you want

All those things are part of it but it is MUCH more than any of them. So what is it then?

One definition according to the Oxford English Dictionary is:

- a plentiful supply of a particular desirable thing.

Although there are many other definitions it is this one I am going to concentrate on so let's look at what it means.

First, when you have wealth, you have money; yes .BUT money alone does not give you wealth. 

It only makes you rich. What is so bad about being rich? Nothing except when you are rich you 

must constantly find a way to STAY rich and that becomes a job all in itself which can be even 

harder than what you are doing now.

Second, the money by itself can give you the ability to buy or do whatever you want to, but again you have to make sure that there is always more coming in or else the buying and doing dries up. 

Ask most lottery winners where they were a year or two after winning big and becoming rich.

So what is wealth?

The definition I like best is:

"Having enough income to live the lifestyle you choose, rather than having the lifestyle chosen for you by your income"

In short - "a plentiful supply of a particular desirable thing"

Wait a minute. Isn't that the same as being rich? Nope. 

Some people believe that they are rich once they believe or put their faith in 'Christ'. Is this  a desirable something?

Difference Between Wealth and Being Rich:

They are two entirely different things. One gives you the money to do things you want to do but you have to work at it. The other provides the funding to live anyway you choose without the worry or work the other demands of you.

Put another way: Wealth Equals Freedom;

Freedom to choose your lifestyle;

Freedom to have your dreams without worry;

Freedom to do anything you want to for yourself and others.

Now  begin looking at what it takes to get there and stay there.

The first thing you need to know is that it does NOT take a lot of money. That is a myth.

 If that was what was required then no one - not even the currently wealthy - would ever have wealth because every one and I do mean every one, had to start from somewhere to get there at some point.

The other big myth I want to mention is that you have to be born into it. Not true in the least and there are many examples of that available to look at but I will only mention one here  by- Mark Cuban. Read his story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban#Biography

Having wealth involves a few steps . This one is entitled Committed Action and is the first and usually one of the hardest for most people to accomplish which is why we start here because without this step the rest just simply will not work.

So what is Committed Action?

It is the act of committing and STAYING COMMITTED to a plan of action which will direct your future and allow you to achieve your dreams.

It is the mindset that allows us to continue to move forward towards our goals

It is a way of thinking which will change everything for us financially.

What it is not, is something to be used once in a while to see if it works. Imagine if our committed action to our job or off line business was to go in when we felt like it or whenever you decided it was something you should or maybe do. How long would either last? How long would our income provide enough to cover our expenses?

This Sounds pretty foolish doesn't it? No one would do that. Would they? Yet everyday thousands of people do just that when it comes to their financial future, their dreams and their desires, leaving it all to chance in the hands of fate, or whatever name they want to call it.

 Unfortunately they also live with regret and even worse, acceptance of their current state most often blaming everyone but themselves when the real reason is no Committed Action on their part.Get started with Committed Action today so you do not end up where they are!

Committed Action starts with that unpleasant  word to some people - 'commitment' - and ends with action which means actually doing and following through with something to the end where success lies.

To get started and actually start to reroute your thinking write down and do at least two of these three simple things in the next two days:

1) Spend a whole hour doing nothing but talking with a loved one, a friend or a neighbor - No TV, No Games, No phones or texting, No computer - just talk

2) Clean and organize a room in your house or your garage that you have been putting off - maybe even hoping it would take care of itself :)

3) Finish a craft or book that you started or a job you told someone you would do for them but never quite got around to completing

 My friends ,associates, and online opportunity seekers here is a genuine opportunity where you can start building sustainable income. Go here and start your course of action. Use this opportunity as the asset base from which you can build upon and earn your way to financial freedom.Saving a dime every day or as little as you can as long as you live and I assured you it will add up to the thousands.
