Far too many people are content to move forward in their daily lives, completely unaware that they are imprisoned by a variety of financial institutions. They can feel the impact of their servitude including the sensation of drowning in debt, feeling like they will never get ahead, the idea of retirement seeming to be folly, but they have not quite put their finger on why. Once they do – once people realize the hold these institutions have on them and make the life-changing decision to change that, they will never look at money the same way. I always assure people it doesn’t matter how old you are. Perhaps you are a twenty-year-old who is trying to make decisions about managing your money. Or maybe you are fifty years old and having an “Uh oh!” moment, realizing that you need to make financial changes for your immediate future.
Regardless of where you find yourself, there are proven strategies available to get ahead financially. None of which are get rich quick schemes. The strategies that work are more “get rich slow” approaches and I narrowed down the best based on data that I have collected from working with thousands of wealthy clients over the course of my career as an attorney, entrepreneur, and investor. What was most eye-opening for me in my research was that there are specific, repeated factors that differentiated people who became wealthy from those who did not—and those factors are almost certainly not what you think. It ultimately nothing to do with how well you did in college or where you grew up. Wealth almost entirely comes down to mindset. Specifically, it comes down to your belief system and the degree to which you believe you can control outcomes in your life.
