If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it. – John D. Rockefeller

Wealth is so much more than having money. Wealth is about sharing, contributing, giving back. That can be financially, emotionally or spiritually. Creating financial wealth won’t work without a bigger picture, which makes wealth creation a tool for a greater purpose.

My favourite Wealth Creation book of all times:

Rich Dad Poor Dad – book recommendation

“Rich Dad Poor Dad”, written by Robert Kiyosaki, is a great book to start with if you want to swap from a desperate to a a wealthy mindset. It provides the reader with valuable background information about the importance of “wealthy thinking”. The version for teenagers should be part of every library for kids. Look inside

WINK – book review

Petra Creutziger — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:51:43 +0000

WINK is a modern day parable of a nine year old boy being raised by his carpenter father who is sick and tired. Every day for the last 20 years the carpenter has visited the Well of Wealth and spent a dollar, believing that if he gives generously to the Well, it will give generously to him in return. On this day, the Carpenter is so unwell he is unable to visit the well, so he sends his nine year old son, Richard, in his place. Richard is entrusted with a treasured crumpled dollar, and sets off on his journey to the Well of Wealth.

Following an overgrown path, Richard discovers that the Well of Wealth is not where or what he thought it was. On the journey Richard meets a host of mysterious and intriguing characters including an old woman, an Optometrist, a Plumber, a Gardener, a Fisherman, a Rower, a Musician, and an Inn Keeper. Each have built their wealth in very different ways, and yet, there is something about them that is common to them all.

This fictional tale makes you think deeper as to the dynamics of wealth creation. The keys to wealth are in a story behind a story. To find the keys, you need to become better at seeing as “What you see is always what you get.” Each reading will help you to discover more keys, until one by one, they will unlock the doors to your wealth.
