Wealth Creation: 10 Steps to Financial Freedom

From my research and study on the topic of wealth creation, I have distilled all the formulas and guidelines into 10 important principles. If you follow these simple principles and always think outside the box, you’ll be on the right path to financial success and wealth that will last a lifetime.

1. CREATE AND VISUALIZE YOUR GOALS: They will always lead to wealth creation. Set a particular goal and visualize it every day. When setting your goals, you should always make sure that they are categorical, measurable, achievable, pragmatic, and time bound.
2. DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Never jump into any business venture, no matter how attractive it may seem. This could set you up for failure and disappointment. The more exciting the business opportunity, the more closely you should be examining its investment return claims. (ROI) As a budding entrepreneur, it is important to test each business opportunity before investing a significant amount of time and/or money.
3. IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND FIND A SOLUTION: This is the key to creating sales and cash flow for your business. Be determined enough to keep going and not give up. Everyone is constantly trying to find solutions to their problems. If you can offer them a quality product and excellent value, then the world is your oyster. People are willing to open their wallets to those who can offer them a better and easier life. One thing to remember is that there are always problems waiting to be solved.
4. THINK BIG AND PAW ASS: The only thing that starts from the top and grows downwards is the grave. Otherwise, everything else in life starts small and grows. When you grow, you stay up, but when you jump, you go down. Of course, common sense tells you that when you jump, the force of gravity just pulls you down. There is a lot to learn at the beginning of your business. It may be small, but you’ll be dreaming big! So if you have a giant vision to grow, your business will grow too! Remember the proverb… “Thinking is Creating”… Hold your vision, create a mission statement and share it with everyone you hire. With this, everyone will have a common goal to work towards every day.
5. USE EARNED CAPITAL TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS: As you grow your business, remember to always use the capital of your profits. Growing a business with borrowed capital is a very big risk. You must be prepared to dance to the music when it begins to play. Positioning your business for growth, without taking on debt, will allow you to work harder and ensure you get the cash and deserve the growth.
6. CHOOSE THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO WORK: You need to be careful when choosing the people you will work with in the business. If you really want to grow your company, it is vitally important to choose people who are suited to the tasks you assign them. For example, you wouldn’t hire a heavy equipment operator to run your sales department, would you? A great deal of time and money could be wasted trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
7. USE FISCAL LEVERAGE: When your business starts to grow, it will be a reflection of your business income. The whole essential nature of starting a business is to develop a consistent and predictable source of cash flow on top of costs and expenses. The bank will lend your business money based on the amount of cash flow you produce each month or year. So be sure to keep cash flowing even during slow economic times. This may take a bit of “out of the box thinking,” but that’s what being an entrepreneur is all about.
8. THINK OUT OF THE BOX:There will always be competition in whatever market you choose to enter. It is important to brand your business so that it stands out from others. When branding your business, be sure to always think outside the box. Come up with ideas that haven’t been used before and you’re sure to turn heads.
9. DON’T STOP LEARNING: Read, read, read… Always be learning about your product or niche, your target market, and how the economy may affect your business. It is important to always try to be one step ahead of the competition. Continuous learning will allow you the flexibility to make business changes when necessary to stay on top of your game.
10. LEARN FROM A MENTOR: It is much easier to achieve financial success by following in the footsteps of someone who has already been in your shoes and has reached the pinnacle they envision for themselves. Find a mentor with whom you feel a connection and who has achieved the level of success you strive for. Then listen to each of his words. They will teach you the steps necessary to achieve your financial goals and dreams. Remember that everyone who has achieved financial success as an entrepreneur has followed in someone else’s footsteps.
