Ways to Become Wealthy
If you want to become wealthy you must look at those who have already generated wealth, and decide which strategy is right for you.
There are about half a dozen ways in which to become wealthy, each with there own positives and negatives. Since there are many different ideas of what represents wealth, lets just say any technique that allows us to make at least a million dollars from scratch.
You could inherit the money. If you have a wealthy parent this could be a possibility. However, this is obviously not something that is under your control, but is solely based on circumstances.
You could win the money. This again is entirely out of your hands and is strictly based on the luck of the draw. While it is possible to win the lottery it is highly unlikely. It is also something that wealthy people rarely if ever do to accumulate more wealth.
Another way you could achieve wealth is to work at a typical job for many years, save and invest a large amount of what you make. If you can earn a large enough return on your money and allow it to compound for long enough, your money could grow over time and by the time you retire you could end up wealthy.
You could decide to go into a profession that is known to pay extremely well. These might include, becoming a doctor, lawyer, or similar profession. While these can pay extremely well, you will need to spend the time in college learning the trade. This could take upward of 10 years just to get the education required. However, if you can put in the time and become a professional in one of these highly paid fields you could retire wealthy.
You could move up the ladder at a large corporation. This could provide you with an extremely large paycheck, and other bonuses including partial ownership in the company. This will also take time as moving up the ladder could take years, but is a definite possibility to creating wealth.
The final way to create wealth is to become an entrepreneur. Becoming wealthy as an entrepreneur will be based on your efforts, and time. By taking this road to wealth there is not any fixed amount of time it will take you to gain wealth, but will rather be based on your ability to find great opportunities, and put them into action. This is also not based on luck, or circumstances beyond your control, but rather completely based solely on the time and effort you decide to put into it. To become successful as an entrepreneur you must take control over your finances. You should become frugal, and not allow your money to slip away. Find a great opportunity, or even better multiple opportunities, and work hard at building streams of income. The more your income streams you have the better.
Be sure to always spend less than you make or you will never achieve wealth. Take the money that you accumulate and be smart with it. Put away 10 percent of what you earn into savings and never touch it. Invest part of your income. Search out good, safe investment opportunities, and put your money into them. Be sure to diversify your investments. Don't be to quick to jump into the next big thing.
The only option to becoming wealthy that you can completely control is by becoming an entrepreneur. So, if you would like to attain true wealth be sure to:
- Live within your means
- Spend your time, energy, and money in ways that will build your wealth
- Seek out opportunities that work for you
- Save, invest and otherwise keep what you make
If you want to become wealthy study what the wealthy do and follow their example.
