THE KEY TO WEALTH:

The key to wealth is to be more valuable. If you have more skills, more ability, more intelligence, specialized knowledge, a capacity to do things few others can do, or if you just think creatively and contribute on a massive scale, you can earn more than you ever thought possible. The single most important and potent way to expand your income / create income, is to devise a way to consistently add real value to people's lives, and you will prosper. This advice worths nothing, if you dont start young, in view of the fact that, the earlier, the better.

good advice,, also key is knowing the difference between income and wealth

many skilled, able, intelligent knowledgable people get stuck struggling with an income,, instead of truly acquiring 'wealth'

Sounds like a complete load of ignorant crap to me.

1. there is nothing, nothing, absolutely not a single thing that one person can do that another can't any time they just plain feel like it. Believing you have "skills" that others don't have is about arrogance and egotism, not pragmatism nor humility. What you may have is more usable skills, which lasts exactly until someone else, anybody at all feels like developing the same or similar skills.

Selling yourself to an employer who always had more money than hands on experience is one thing, that is about telling fables, ie. salesmanship; what it isn't about is neither personal development nor intrinsic individual value on a scale of unwanted to wanted human. Think this way and you're as clueless as the employer who needs a sales pitch and doesn't recognize an excellent worker at appropriate wage/package in the field he's hiring by sight and conversation, confidently. Now that's just plain dumbing down the whole world to suit yourself and you know what that means. Yes, half of it is much smarter than you. What was that you were saying about greater intrinsic value among humans?

2. The point you made about earning more money being led not by gathering monies but by enriching the lives of others is true, however this does not lead to gathering monies so you're wrong about that. It leads to earning monies. Doesn't mean you get them.

3. Forget your "personal value" as it's wholly delusional and to be perfectly honest is like a first babystep on the way to schizophrenia. Nip that crap in the bud.
Concentrate on the value of what you do. That's what counts to an employer. Your work. Not you. How did that get past your keen sense of value?


Feller the whole "road to wealth" self help trip is a scam, designed to prey upon the arrogant and lazy as a consumer market. It is nothing else.

And things like this are my point. Charging individuls with lack of success for any rationale is ignorant to the point of malevolent.
Terrific workers are often underpaid and unable to do a whole lot about it at the time. That's because employers must be regulated by law or else they do what any primate with power does: abuses it.
Blaming their victims is kind of on that same road as telling rape victims they asked for it by what they were wearing. Ignorant to the point of malevolence.

ie. if someone you know is being underpaid, underrated and underclassed well below their obvious employment value (ie. the quality of work they clearly perform consistently by virtue of character and descript application), then perhaps that employer should be held to account, if you consider this person highly/more intelligent and knowledgable, then it should stand to reason their state is one they aren't in a position to do much about because surely they've had your epiphany about "simply not putting up with it" and found that course wanting, ie. not presently do-able or they would've fixed it, being apparently so easy to do you can hold them to account for failing to.

I would like to point out that you don't have to be young to become rich. I recall watching something on netflix. A documentary or what ever where this guy who was up in his years a bit had an idea and was tempted not to do it because of his age. But he did it anyway and it worked out for him. You don't have to be young to get rich. Unless you're talking about saving all your money and spending nothing till you have a million dollars. You just need one great idea like writing a BS book on how to get rich and then get people to buy your product to get rich.

Part of the problem isn't always getting money though. It's being smart enough to keep instead of spending it on stupid things like cars you'll never drive.

like me i am sure lot of other people have seen
that many people who are intelligent are very poor ,i have seen many very clever people living very hard life
very hard working people struggling in there lives,
very honest people with no money , very skilled people
with very basic standard of life or no life
there is no key to wealth ,
to have an entire intellectual approach to wealth is harm full
a combined approach is what i have experienced is more successful

"Hardwork" as we all know it,never gets anyone rich-they only get deppressed and wornout-with zoro in the bank....but working smart has!

Like Izzy said,just one smart idea can easily make one rich and wealthy!

refreshing that not everyone attaches income levels with intrinsic value, or intelligence, or work ethic,,,,

The Real Key To Wealth is Happiness

There are a lot of different paths, and there are a lot of different types of people. I see bits of truth in every post here, but I also see folks thinking they have the answer. I believe that they honestly feel they do, but I also think it's important to point out that the path they choose to get there is a street traveled only by them and may not work for anyone else but them.

It's really stretching things to say because I did it this way, it's the way.

Personally though I don't think it's cool to put down someones dream.

bingo

It comes down to commiting to your wants for me, I have a love hate
relationship with money these days. Its work and a sacrifice of present freedom for future freedom. Its olso risk taking, many people will not take a risk if they have their basics.


"Success is not a destanation but is a live time Journey"
its

I did think of other means of wealth such as happiness. But I put my comment as what it was since the OP seemed to be about making money and not necessarily enriching his life. Plus there are lots of get rich quick books out there and much like all the diet plans they annoy me.

That's because they fail to make the right decisions that will enable them to acquire wealth.

Well said.

hard to know what those decisions are until they start acquiring wealth,,,lol


still, no bearing on anyones character or intelligence,,,

Yeah, it seems like the secret to getting rich quick is to write a get rich quick book. You don't even have to know what you're talking about!

Sometimes it's pure blind luck. hahaha
