Who doesn't dream of marching into their boss' office one day and resigning without caring about the financial repercussions? Well, you can only do so if you have acquired sufficient assets (wealth) through which you can generate a future income to replace your current earned income. By the way, as a rule of thumb I don't recommend you hand in your resignation unless you have at least 1 and ideally 2 years living expenses put away in liquid assets. Simply put, to become wealthy over time you basically need to make, save and invest money wisely. The smarter you are at doing this the faster you become wealthy. Assuming you've read my other articles on How to Get Rich (the making of and management of money) then you are ready to look at the 3 most common wealth building strategies of the super wealthy.

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..

This is my story. This is a story as much about my personal development as it is about being able to learn and build great fortunes over and over again. Yes, it is about your finances as much as having a great family. You see I grew up on a farm, but one day, as a young man in my late teens and living through one of the worst periods of my life, I stumbled across four of the wealthiest men I had ever known. As fate would have it, they became my mentors. But truth be told, it was they who maneuvered me into their world of high flyers and jet-setters. I had to learn the hard way. It was certainly no free ride.

Real estate investing can be focused on either residential, commercial or land. Wealth building through real estate involves buying and selling a property - sometimes referred to as "flipping" or "trading" and often involves "rehabbing" a property (i.e. fixing it up)- to give the fastest and best rate of return.. However, landlording is a more standard approach that requires more time to build wealth, generating a small income in the meantime from the rental income after subtracting all expenses. Want to know how to build wealth quickly with real estate? Consider buying a distressed property using leverage, fixing it up, and selling it again quickly. However, watch for market fluctuations in supply and demand and availability of capital in order to use this strategy effectively. Donald Trump is a great example of someone who created massive wealth through real estate investing.

By developing a plan and sticking to it, you will easily be able to accomplish your goal. For many financial planners, they recommend keeping a journal and a list of your finances. This way you can see what you are saving and why you are saving it. For instance, if you go to the grocery store twice a week, keep the receipts and do the math to consolidate your balance monthly.

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. Are these people my only mentors? Let me explain. They were the most impacting in my life because they were the ones that guided me in my formative years; first as I grew up and then as I was a total neophyte of international business. Together, they formed my foundations to greater things in life.
