Developing wealth and inheriting wealth requires two different sets of emotions, goals, determination and ambition. Why is it that some people born poor end up rich or even mega rich?
The difference is ACTION!
How many times have you made plans to save money, to invest money, to pay off a credit card, or even better to cancel a credit card, and seriously start building wealth?
There are many a wealthy person who started out poor and through their own endeavors, grit determination and foresight, have built considerable wealth and amassed a fortune. Here are just a few people who have made it through sheer determination:
Oprah Winfrey – one of the world’s richest woman. Born to a teenage mum Oprah had a checkered childhood but rose above it all to create her TV talk show and is now worth over $2.4 billion.
Steve Jobs – co-founder of Apple, now reputedly worth more than $5.5 billion, but he dropped out of Reed College because he could not afford tuition. He started Apple in his parents’ garage in 1976.
J.K. Rowling – the author of “Harry Potter” and the movie series. Currently worth $1 billion her wealth is sure to grow with ongoing royalties. Who would have thought that a book series could have been so successful. This author overcome suicidal thoughts to succeed.
Sure you might say, “but they are only a few of millions”, and that is right but hey,even though they have this incredible wealth who is to say that people have to have that sort of money to live a very comfortable lifestyle. It is up to each and every one of us to set our goals and have our dreams. What makes me happy probably does not make you happy. Your goals are not mine, and my goals are not yours.
But at the end of the day, if we do not start taking baby steps with our wealth creation we will be in the same position in ten years time as we are today.
Today is the time to start changing our future.
