8 Steps On The Road To Wealth

8 Steps On The Road To Wealth


If wealth and happiness are what you desire, follow the below steps that ouline Kenneth's noble and encouraging philosophy of financial success.


1) Develop A Mindset of Accumulation

Some people attain their wealth while displaying poor character traits, such as selfishness, which has lead to the widely held belief that a person must be self-serving -- and perhaps aggressive -- to become affluent. But there are wealthy people who give to and care about others, and selfishness is not inextricably linked to affluence.

Kenneth believes that what truly helps a person become wealthy is a mindset of accumulation. The mindset of accumulation acts as an engine that propels a person forward in his or her quest for financial success. It is a foundational principle for a person who wants to become wealthy. Without it, a person's assets will either stagnate or even begin to dwindle.

The good news is that the desire for more does not need to cancel out the desire to help people or to be fair: You can give back to your community and be a kind, caring person as you accumulate your wealth. In fact, as your mindset of accumulation helps you become more successful, your ability to help those in need will increase, too.

2) Use The Word "WANT", Not "Need"

As humans, we have an uncanny ability to ignore our needs, but our desires and wants can spur us into action with great speed. 

For example, think about how often a person might postpone a task at work that should be completed as soon as possible. Or think about how easy it is to become sleep-deprived by ignoring the body's need for sleep.

On the other hand, when a person wants something, there's action. A desire could be something that requires work, like starting a business or losing ten pounds. It could also be something pleasurable, like going on vacation or out to dinner with your partner.

The point is: If you need to do something, you might do it. If you want to do something, chances are you will do it. To maintain a mentality of building up wealth, then, it is important to want to accumulate wealth. 

This linguistic technicality means that a mindset of accumulation must operate on the fuel of "wants." Instead of saying "I need to earn more," we should say, "I want to earn more," because it is the urgency of wanting that keeps our mindset of accumulation running on all cylinders.

3) Know How To Accumulate Money

On the road to wealth, wanting is important -- but it's not enough. A person must first want to earn more and then also know how to earn money. 

Knowing how to accumulate money is one of the most difficult challenges, because each person's approach to earning is as unique as his or her own combination of personality, creativity, passions and skills.

To start, use your imagination and ask yourself: What creative business strategies can I develop to earn money? Or, what employment can I seek to help me earn?

4) Know How To Retain Money

There are people who were once rich but became poor because of their lack of ability to retain their wealth. This means that once you've managed to accumulate earnings, you need to be able to keep -- and ideally grow -- your money. You'll need to ask yourself: How can I manage my wealth in the smartest way? What can I do to reinvest my earnings and increase my money?

5) Acquire Knowledge And Resources

People who become wealthy may or may not complete a formal higher education, but they often enhance their skill sets through study.

Acquiring knowledge is another type of accumulation mindset.

Knowledge could mean learning how to manage resources, such as time and money -- or anything you can use to advance or to make accomplishments. 

Pursuing specific knowledge can translate into great learning potential, and knowing how to use resources is very significant in building wealth.

6) Plan For The Future

The mindset of accumulation is focused on actionable, forward-thinking. If you want to be wealthy, you need to plan ahead and look forward toward the future.

While the past is useful because we can look back on our mistakes, it's crucial not to get caught up in what you "could have" or "should have" done. Instead, take the lessons you've learned with you, and implement what you've learned into your plans for the future.

To get where you want to go, you will need to glance at the rearview mirror every now and then. Just remember to concentrate on the road ahead, first and foremost.

7) Be Logical

To grow your wealth, you will need to think logically and rationally. Kenneth says there's no "hocus-pocus" in earning money, but rather a "purposeful understanding and desire" to reach a certain level that is promoted with rational thought. Put simply, this means that superstitions should be set aside. Choose to rely on clear-headed thinking to make decisions as you strive toward meeting your desires.

8) Be Efficient

You might say that, in some ways, the smartest rich people are "lazy". What does this mean? It means that these smart people find productive ways of getting things done. So, if they don't have to do something themselves, they will use shortcuts, formulas, strategies and delegation -- all of which are methods of productivity.

Figure out which tasks you can outsource to maximize your time and ability to accumulate your wealth, and remember that the road to wealth isn't just about working hard. It's about being efficient.
