Ideas on How to Become Rich - Women and Money, part two
Hi folks, the last blog I mentioned about women and money. There is about 10 percent very powerful and rich women among the community folks in every country from America, Britain , China to South Africa. The common traits of these rich and wealthy women are as follows:
a) Believing in themselves as being richer than they thought. These women have in them a kind of "conscious belief" , inspite of discouragement and dampening remarks by other people and of course the manfolks.This belief in themselves is such a powerful force that enables them to act and do the things in the manner that they think they are rich and powerful by upgrading their knowledge, upgrading their daily routine and by ungrading their environment in a slow and steady manner , so much so that the people around them are not aware of such developments until the day comes when they emerge top of the ranks. I know of many such women in our midst, quietly enriching themselves and silently amassing skills and expertise in financial management, investment in the stock market and savings in trust funds and bonds as well as buying insurance with whatever savings they have. In due time,the amount of money becomes so much that they are rich beyond their own understanding. The income flow is somewhat like a pipe and their riches become as the tap, able to flow as and when they need the money. This is the kind of belief and action that come with planning and lots of hardwork in daily working and accumulating the money and wealth.
The other common ground which all the rich and wealthy women share is the way they learn from other powerful and rich successful people. A study of America's top 40 richest people will give you an idea how these people become rich and then you study their behaviour, their spending pattern, their decision-making process and most importantly, their way of handling success and failure. Once you understand the concept of getting there - the way these people become rich, you will have to follow in a wise manner, with your own initiative and flexibility because each one of us is endowed with different perspectives and different journeys. One thing for sure, professional training and help is very vital to being successful and rich. Education is a main bridge in this journey. You cannot avoid training and professional help. Doctors, lawyers, engineers and architects have many long years of training and practice before they make it big. This is the same as women who upgrade while looking after children and undergo training while they are cooking and sewing for their loved ones...
There is no get - rich formula or short cut. There is passion, enthusiasm and hardwork plus lots of tenacity and endurance because in this journey , everyone is a winner if one thinks so. Women who have become rich and powerful, have understood this simple fact while accepting the norms of the society.
In Singapore I have a lot of female friends who are very rich and successful , yet they are great mothers and cooks. They are able to balance life well and enable the community to grow as well. The way to being rich is not just in the physical accumulation of wealth and money, it is also the way of thinking rich in thoughts, deeds and to be generous to those in the community.
Well, go for the professional training which you wanted all the time. Do not proscrastinate because time and tide waits for no one. Every day is a new day for learning and getting rich because 10 cents saved is 10 cents gained. The rich mentors are out there waiting for students to learn to be rich... go, and just do it!
