For many generations, we have been taught by our parents that the only way to succeed in life financially is to become savers. The financial timeline of life to wealth building has been to go to school to get good grades, get a job, buy a home, save money, be debt free and if possible with what is left invest in the share market or buy real estate. It is not our parent's fault that we have not yet succeeded as they were taught by their parents.
Wealth building starts with financial planning and financial planning begins with goal setting. Without a solid focus and a list of goals, you will never be able to accomplish what you'd like. The first step to wealth building is to come up with a list of goals and set priorities for each goal. You'll still be able to reach your most important goals if something unexpected happens. Goals should be very specific and quantified in numbers if possible..
Once you have set the goals for your wealth building, the next step of financial planning is to lay our a feasible and executable plan. For instance, if your short term goal is to own a beautiful home in five years, you would plan to put $20,000 down for the down payment for your house five years from now.
Health is the main ingredient for living and a healthy mind can allow us to invest wisely. I am not saying that if you go on a diet to loose weight you will become wealthy but you need to be healthy to allow the mind to make rational decisions on investing but more importantly it is better to be healthy to live longer and spend the wealth that you have accumulated.
My early mentors then were in my life situation, my maternal grandmother who was essentially my mother and my paternal grandfather who played the role of father to me. Grandmother taught me to give aid to people to help them get on their feet. She would never allow a child to go hungry; even the lost children that lived on the streets in the days of my childhood. Grandfather taught me the importance of building the family. The family is a great part of your wealth building foundation. He made sure I was introduced to the skills of working well in any situation. He gave me the knowledge of the ancient world; the old texts and philosophies of building wealth.
Once you have a goal, created a plan, and disciplined to execute the plan, the strategies and the techniques you learned from wealth building seminars or real estate investment seminars would take the course of your wealth building further. You can learn what to avoid and what to try out. You'll exchange the ideas with the people who are on the same journey, and share the frustration and your joy with those who've achieved their goals.
