Ask not how you can help yourself, but why you want to help yourself
I know this sounds similar to ask what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you.
Most people are interested in how to become rich but this is not the first question to ask yourself if you really want to become rich. As eventually, how to do certain things is most probably figured out by other earlier people already. You only just need to research to find out them. To echo the words of Anthony Robbins, a strong enough why can bear almost any how.
Hence, the most important issue is ask yourself why you want to berich.
I cannot answer the why question for each individual who reads this blog, I can only present the how that is needed.
What are the 3 keys towards a life of abundance?
Creativity and critical thinking
The most important key has been and always will be – generate multiple sources of income, preferable passive income for these sources.
Look at what interests and talents you have, each one of them is a potential money making machine.
Singapore celebrity stylist David Gan is a classic example of a poor man made good. One of his creative ways to market himself is to give local celebrities free hair cut and/or styling in returns for taking a photo with them to market himself.
Now he charges at least 3 figures for a haircut session that most probably lasts less than 30 minutes.
Another perfect example is that if you are hot and sexy, having a blog and plaster all the photos of yourself most likely attract high and regular traffic. Even better, go find work at places like Prison, then get fired for being hot and sexy, and then claim compensations.
These are examples of creativity thinking at work.
Critical thinking is needed in order to retain money that you has earned and to invest it wisely for greater returns instead of being scammed away.
Abundance and scarcity depends on the person
Don’t spend your life thinking and talking about , financial crisis, Michael Jackson dies and rising unemployment. There is nothing you can do to change them.
Instead think and talk about what potential businesses opportunities is there to create more wealth and how to go about doing it. What I can learn and do today so that if tomorrow I have $1 millions, I can invest it to grow to $10 millions in 10 years time.
Know the reality
Living large on same budget, save 5% for every 10% rise in income, invest them well sounds a bit of a cliché but that is what you need to do if just starting out and want to be rich.
Read books written by rich people to gain insights into how rich people think is something that can be done without spending a bomb and a leg.
