Question 1

Investments are made when there is "blood" on the streets.

Accepted Answer

This investment attitude is attributed to Baron Rothschild, an 18th century nobleman and prominent member of the Rothschild banking family. Its theory focuses on investing when there is panic, fear or uncertainty in the market, causing asset prices to plummet (drop drastically) in the market. It is a contrarian investment approach that encourages buying when others are selling because of the sharp decline in stock process in various markets causing an undervaluation of stocks, despite widespread fear and negative sentiment. The investor benefits in the following years when the markets rebound and the stock prices increase.

Recessions are like a Black Friday sale for the rich. That is why they invest in recession proof assets (cash, short-term treasury bonds, consumer staples, defensive stocks, energy shares, etc.) that can be easily liquidated to transfer the wealth from those who are in urgent need of cash to their own wealth. Love it or hate it, this is how the game is played to multiply your wealth.

Question 2

Saving will make you poor, investing will make you wealthy!

Accepted Answer

Simply saving money, without putting it to work, is not an effective way to build wealth. This is because inflation erodes the value of your savings over time causing your purchasing power to diminish. Investing, on the other hand, allows you to grow your wealth by earning returns on your investment, which often outpace inflation. Seek out undervalued companies with strong fundamentals to invest in, hold on to the stocks, and let the power of compounding work in your favor.

Question 3

Rich people buy assets, poor people buy liabilities!

Accepted Answer

Wealthy people buy assets that generate income or appreciate in value over time. Poor people often spend their money on liabilities, things that depreciate in value or incur expenses over time. Focus on acquiring assets - spending money on assets will grow your wealth significantly.  Avoid acquiring liabilities - spending money on liabilities or taking out loans to buy things you do not need will make you poor.

If you want to be rich one day keep this in mind...

"The next time you have a large sum of money in your pocket think twice about how you want to spend it - the chance to multiply your wealth may never come again!"

Question 4

Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world...

Accepted Answer

Compound interest is a wealth building tool. It refers to a process by which the interest earned on an investment is added to the principle, which results in interest being earned on the new higher principle amount. As the process continues over time, the growth of the investment accelerates exponentially. Compound interest is not limited to traditional financial transaction (stocks, bonds, cash, etc.), it can be utilized to grow entrepreneurial ventures as well.

Question 5

Never put all your eggs in one basket!

Accepted Answer

This phrase emphasizes the importance of spreading your investments across various assets to mitigate the risk of loss or failure. Diversification also capitalizes on a wide range of opportunities and success. We live in an age where industries are easily disrupted by rapid advances in technology and these markets do not care about your financial well-being. Mastering the art of diversification is the key to survival!

Question 6

You will get rich by giving society what it wants when society does not yet know how to get it.

Accepted Answer

This money secret underscores the importance of being a trailblazer and a visionary in your quest for wealth creation. The principle highlights the concept of tapping into the unexplored desires of society, unlocking hidden potential and developing ingenious solutions or products to address these needs. You need entrepreneurial prowess, a keen sense of foresight, and an innate ability to innovate. By doing so, you can reap substantial financial rewards while reshaping the entire industry and leaving an impact on the world. If you want to  be wealthy, find out or predict what society wants and sell it for profit!

Question 7

You will not get rich renting your time; you must own equity to gain financial freedom.

Accepted Answer

One of the secrets to wealth is to own equity in or your own business. This allows you to financial gain as the business grows. When a business grows, diversifies and scales its stock value increases.

Question 8

There are no get-rich-quick schemes... it is only someone else getting rich off you.

Accepted Answer

Embrace accountability and take business risks under your own name. Take responsibility of your own financial success, avoid the allure of "get rich quick" schemes. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity and leverage. True wealth creation requires embracing accountability and taking calculated risk in your own endeavors, instead of relying on shortcuts or dubious methods. Get rich quick schemes prey on the desire for quick and easy wealth. Always be cautious and aware of your temptation to pursue short cuts to wealth.

Question 9

Leverage tax-efficient strategies!

Accepted Answer

We are not talking about tax invasion; we are talking about tax avoidance... Always look for and use tax efficient advantages and strategies, legal methods that minimize your tax liability, and optimize after tax returns on investments or income.

Examples:

• Tax advantage investments accounts
 • Maximize deductions
 • Take advantage of tax credits
 • Strategically time the sale of assets to minimize capital gain taxes
 • Hold onto stocks long-term to defer capital gains
 • Invest in your own company and buy assets through it

Question 10

Create multiple income sources!

Accepted Answer

Investments
Side Business Ownership
Rental Income
Royalties
Passive Income from Assets

If you only have one stream of income your chances of getting rich are really low.

Question 11

Leveraging the power of technology to 100x your output.

Accepted Answer

If you do not harness and leverage the potential of technology to optimize and scale your work, automate processes and enable better decision making, your competition will eat you alive. Advanced technologies, tools and systems significantly amplify productivity and efficiency, which helps generate higher returns on your investment.

Question 12

Use stealth wealth.

Accepted Answer

Accumulate and maintain wealth without displaying it openly and extravagantly. Live a modest lifestyle, avoid conspicuous consumption, and keep financial success private to avoid drawing attention to oneself (public scrutiny). When you keep a low profile approach to financial success and value your privacy you can focus on long-term wealth preservation.

Question 13

Fiat money is not real money!

Accepted Answer

At one time cash, when it was on the gold standard, saving it made sense. Today, cash is simply a government issued currency that is not directly converted to a commodity (gold); its value comes from the trust and confidence that people have in the stability of the issuing government and the economy. Its supply is controlled by central banks  and its value is subject to factors such as inflation, economic performance and government policies.

If you want to be wealthy one day you can not afford not to understand this. Understanding this fact will help you position yourself accordingly in times of crisis. To avoid erosion from inflation, economic performance and government policies, do what wealthy people do - hold most of your your wealth in income generating assets.

"80% of outcomes often result from 20% of the causes..."

Focusing on the most impactful 20% of your actions, investments or strategies can lead to 80% of the desired results. When you identify and concentrate on high impact activities to optimize your efforts and to increase efficiency, you can achieve significant financial success.
