These are some of the key methods that I learnt from my studies that led me on the right path. The rich keep many checks and balances to know where they stand financially and only use debt to create a return on their investment, not purchase liabilities. Creating equity that can be re-invested in turn having money work for you. Many wealthy also have multiple streams of income realizing you need the safety net in case one income dips low or stops. But as I studied the wealthy and tried implementing what I was learning I still did not achieve the success I wanted. It wasn’t until I found out like baking a cake, it won’t work out until you have the recipe and know how to put all the right ingredients together. Everything changed when I found the right opportunity that aligned with my values and teamed up with a great mentor and other like-minded individuals.
