Before
we continue with the concept of wealth creation let us know what wealth means.
The Oxford
dictionary defines wealth as a large amount of money, property, e.t.c that a
person own or possess.
Also it is the state of being rich. For this purpose
therefore a person who has wealth can be said to be wealthy. Although some
people believe that there is a clear distinction between wealth and riches.
This is because some proposed that all wealthy people are rich but not all rich
people are wealthy. This to some extent is right since someone who is poor
today can be rich tomorrow while for such a person to be wealthy it might
require a longer time frame.
Wealth
takes time to materialize and it is usually linked to assets (property). In
otherwords, riches may be in monetary value but wealth may connote money,
property and other valuables.
Wealth
creation starts with a strong value. Values on the other hand are not
spontaneously created. Values grow with time and time they say is money.Life
has taught me that if you can manage time then you can manage life and the
numerous resources that life presents. Depending on who you believe, without
proper management of time you can not create wealth. There are instances in
life when some people just believe that because they are not born with silver
spoons and so they can not create wealth or become wealthy. What or who you
believe in have the power to make you or unmake you. Wealth creation is not
something that is instantaneous but it has to be gradual. Gradual here means it
must come with desire, goals and strategic plans. To buttress this, great men
who has won great wars made necessary preparations that gave them the victory
on which they become famous. Every plan must go with a vision. Agriculturists
believe that not all plants grow and produce fruits at the same time hence they
classify them (based on time duration) into annuals (those that grow and produce within one year), biennials (those
that grow and produce once in two years) and perennials (those that grow and
produce above two years).
Having
said this for one to create wealth there is need for strategic planning by
first knowing the concepts and
principles of wealth creation. Once the concepts and principles has been
identified there is need to apply them. Because
without applying them, wealth will never manifest. That is why even the
Bible says “faith without work is dead” and also “you shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you free”. The “free” I am advocating for here
contextually is finanacial freedom i.e having money to meet and satisfy your
basic needs.Let me use this
opportunity to say that your mindset
towards wealth creation has a role to play i.e if you have the wrong mindset
wealth will delude you.
Summarily,
the concept of wealth creation boils down to having the right information,
being optimistic ( positive mindset), desire, self-esteem, confidence, favour,
labour, to mention but a few.
