True Secrets Of The Wealthy Mentors - Wealth Building

By Frank Miller


People may have totally different goals for wealth building and wealth may have different meanings to an array of people, regardless of how affluent they are. There's one thing in common that financial planning is the key to the successful wealth building regardless the wealth building strategies they use.

These are the secrets of wealth building that elude the vast majority of people. It is my testimonial that the fastest and most lasting wealth is learning from great mentors. In this article, I will reveal where you can find them and it will surprise you to find out who they may be. Let us discuss a little about what wealth is. It causes much confusion and angst when wealth is mistaken for what it is not. Money is not wealth it is a part of wealth. There are many things in life that describes wealth. Just ask a child or an aged person what wealth means to them. You will get surprisingly similar answers. You might get an answer like a great family, friends, comfort, respect, dignity, a toy, good food, and sometimes money. So as long as we understand what wealth truly means, we can move on to the main topic.

Once you have set the goals for your wealth building, the next step of financial planning is to lay our a feasible and executable plan. For instance, if your short term goal is to own a beautiful home in five years, you would plan to put $20,000 down for the down payment for your house five years from now.

If one of your goals is to have one million dollars of net worth by retirement one option is to put $300 a month into your 401k plan and choose S&P 500 stock market index fund. If you're 35 years old now and plan to retire at age of 65, you'll gave exactly one million dollars 30 years from now assuming the SP index repeat itself in performance at the rate of 10% return.

Before you can begin to build wealth you must understand the purpose or reasons as why you want to be wealthy. For some people building wealth can be a short term to buy a better home or car, for others it will be long term to set them up for retirement.

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.
