LET’S TALK ABOUT MONEY…

How to generate money?

The way you make money shapes your financial future—whether you work for it or make it work for you.
Which path are you on, and where do you want to be?

MEET JOHN, AN EMPLOYEE

John has a steady job with a reliable paycheck, but he only get paid as long as he keeps working. If he stops, the money stops too.

MEET ROB, A BUSINESS OWNER

Robed hires people or build systems to do majority of the work so he's not tied down by the clock. His business keeps running, and the money keeps coming in, even when he's not working.

MEET SARAH, SELF-EMPLOYED

Though she is her own boss, Sarah is still trading time for money. If she stops working hard in getting a client, the income stops too.

MEET KIM, AN INVESTOR

Kim's money works for her since she invested it well. She invested it wisely, and now it's paying her without doing much at all! Her wealth keeps on growing even when she's sleeping!

To generate money effectively, the goal is to move from

HOW SOLID IS YOUR FINANCIAL FOUNDATION?

Understanding how to generate money is just the start. To create lasting wealth, you need a solid financial foundation—one that keeps more of what you earn and helps it grow. Let’s explore what that looks like.

Finally, with a secure structure in place, you can start investing—adding the finishing touches that increase your house’s value over time. Investing allows your money to grow over time, helping you achieve long-term financial goals. Proper investments build wealth and ensure a comfortable future.

Then, you create an emergency fund. This is your safety net, like having a reliable roof that keeps you dry during a storm. It covers unexpected expenses, such as medical bills or job loss, without needing to rely on credit. It’s crucial for maintaining financial stability and peace of mind.

Next, you focus on debt management. Just like clearing the land around your house to prevent anything from weakening your foundation, effectively managing and reducing debt prevents it from becoming a financial burden.

Imagine you're building a strong, secured house. The first thing you do is lay a solid foundation. In the same way, when it comes to your finances, the first step is protection—this includes insurance (health, life, and property) to protect against unexpected events that could derail your financial stability. This is like putting up sturdy walls to keep everything safe inside.

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF WEALTH

Understanding key financial principles like compound interest, taxes, and growth options can make all the difference in your wealth journey. Let’s break down the essential concepts that shape your financial future.

Wealth Formula

Here’s a simple formula to find out how your money can grow:

This is the starting point—the amount of money you have to invest or save. The more money you can set aside for wealth-building, the stronger your starting point.

Time is a crucial factor in wealth building. The earlier you start saving or investing, the more time your money has to grow.
This refers to the percentage of profit (or loss) you make on an investment over a certain period of time. For example, if you invest $100 and a year later it's worth $110, your rate of return is 10%. It shows how well (or poorly) your investment has performed.
Inflation decreases the value of your money, while taxes can also take a bite out of your returns. Minimizing tax impact through smart financial strategies is key to keeping more of your wealth.
