Wealth Building 101 Tutorial Guide

The Secret To Building Wealth Is There Are No Secrets. The Formula Is Common Knowledge, Timeless, And Free. Everything Else Is Just A Marketing Gimmick.

You've probably noticed that most wealth building education is little more than a collection of tools and "how-to" tricks on personal finance or investment strategy.

Every guru markets his own technique as the "secret" answer to the "how-to-become-wealthy" question.

Let's be honest. If you bought all their courses and attended all their seminars you would more likely end up confused than wealthy.

Much of the information is contradictory, incomplete, or not usable because it is dangerous half-truths.

It's not that what they teach you is wrong: it's just not what really matters. It is not the education most people need to become wealthy.

You are no more likely to succeed at building wealth because someone sold you the latest tricks and tools than you would be able to succeed at building a house because someone sold you a hammer.

The tool is just a mechanism. It is necessary for building, but it's not the causative factor.

Without the skills and motivation to use the tool wisely along with plans to give the work done by the tool form, the tool is essentially useless. Much more is required.

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." -Colin Powel

What you need is a complete, step-by-step blueprint for building wealth - not just some tools.

  • You need to learn how to locate a site for constructing your wealth that fits your personal needs and tastes.
  • You need to learn how to lay the foundation so that your wealth structure stands solid and true against the ravaging elements.
  • You need a plan built on time-tested principles showing the best construction methods.

This is the knowledge you need to succeed ... not some tools and tricks.

Photo of a leverage dial with text 5 ways to reduce risk by increasing leverage

When you think of leverage, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, it’s some form of financial leverage – mortgage financing or debt financing – using other people’s money. You probably also think leverage is risky. But the truth is financial leverage is only one of six different types of leverage. Worse yet, it’s the most dangerous type of leverage because it increases risk as much as reward. The other five types of leverage can both decrease risk and increase reward… at the same time! So let’s pull these five other categories of leverage out of the shadows so you know how to multiply your wealth growth by taking less risk…

The answer is mathematical expectancy. This “must-learn” principle shows you how to convert an unknowable and uncertain future into statistical confidence producing a reliable outcome. When you understand how mathematical expectancy works, it will change how you play the wealth building game forever. Read this article to learn more…

FM 023: Get Your Financial Goals Faster In Business With Brennan Dunn

Reach your financial goals faster in business, with Brennan Dunn, founder of Double Your Freelancing

Business entrepreneurship is the most common path to wealth, but also the least discussed. It gives you many unexpected benefits including community, connection, contribution, a sense of purpose, and a creative outlet. You can also achieve your freedom goals through business entrepreneurship long before you hit your financial goals because passive income isn’t connected to equity like in real estate or paper assets. In addition, business entrepreneurship is a great way to catch-up on your retirement goals if you’re behind on savings. But business entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone despite all the benefits. That why Brennan Dunn and I explore in this podcast episode the tricks and traps to this critically important asset class you may want to consider using in your wealth plan. Learn from our experience so you can decide what works for you. Brennan has developed several businesses in the six to seven figure range and will show you how to use this asset class to achieve your financial goals.

The Way To Wealth By Benjamin Franklin

Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin Image

The Way to Wealth, written in 1757, is a summary of Benjamin Franklin’s advice from Poor Richard’s Almanac published from 1733-1758. It’s a compilation of proverbs woven into a systematic ethical code advocating industry and frugality as a “way to wealth”, thereby securing personal virtue. His advice is just as relevant today as it was 270 years ago when first written. If you have any interest in financial security then you’ve gotta read this! You’ll be amazed how little has changed in all these years. The principles that lead to wealth are timeless wisdom, and you must know them to achieve your financial goals…

Testimonials

I just wanted to say a great THANK YOU VERY MUCH! for helping me this last 6 months. I knew I wanted to retire and do something with my money but felt lost and uncertain. I used to think investing was just about diversifying and asset allocation, but you gave me a grander view and the confidence to run my own portfolio. Your course was well honed-out, all the pieces fit together, and the learning steps were in the right order. And you were the right person to teach it to me!
