How To Get Rich - Look, Listen and Learn



Do you think the wealthy look around to see what the world is doing around them ? Do you think they listen to what others have to say ?  Lastly, do you think they learn something from doing both of the above ? You better believe they do!


Look

 You have probably noticed that I haven't written on this blog for the past several months. This was done on purpose because I wanted to have a look at what was going on around the world as well as much closer to home.

What I noticed was that people kept reading my blog even though I wasn't posting any new material. Why do you think this was ? Well, my guess would be, because there is a lot of good information contained within these pages that needs to be shared.

I looked around the world for opportunities and I looked within these pages for insight. Change is constant and we must occasionally stop and just have a look.


Listen   

 Listening to what others have to say is also very important. By listening to others you start realizing their problems and difficulties. Almost everyone you run into has something that really bothers them and to identify the common elements of these problems is crucial. If enough people have the same problem, guess what ? You have discovered a new opportunity !

I have always been a good listener. Many who try to become wealthy forget this crucial step. You must really understand what is going on around you to gain the proper perspective on the bigger picture.


Learn

 The last part of this trilogy is the learning stage. What is this stage ? Simply, it is taking all of your observations from what you have seen and what you have heard and finding a positive outcome to these experiences.

In other words, find a way to profit from all of your new found information. Realize the new opportunities either by creating a new product or a new service. Solve everyone's problem and you have discovered a new form of income to add to your wealth.


What To Do 

 Now, let me sum up what I have just said. Look around you at the world as a whole and your smaller universe closer to your home. Mentally observe what you see. Next, listen to as many people as you can to develop common elements of what is wrong within their lives. Identify what problems people are having and come up with a solution. Come up with a new product or a new service to solve their problems and you could add to your current wealth.

This is how the world works. Stop what you are doing in your small world. Open your eyes and look around. Open your ears to listen to what others have to say. Open your mind and learn from what you have seen and heard. Find a solution. Add to your wealth.

This is what the wealthy do to become wealthier and so can you.



I am still welcoming your new comments and suggestions for future topics. Keep them coming.

Nice simple yet powerful post! Many blogs begin to repost old posts after about five years of original content posting. By then they have edited and created a story that keeps captivating. Crowd sourcing is a great modern tool too.

How to Get Rich - Use Other Peoples' Money

The use of other people's money, also called financial leverage, can be a great tool for speeding up your growth of wealth. It can also, however, be a huge disaster if not done properly and at the right times.As with most things in the financial world, become educated before making the jump.                                                                 What is OPM To use other people's money you simply borrow money from your bank etc. for a promising investment. The money the bank lends you is their clients' money that is invested in savings accounts, term deposits, etc.Hence the term "other peoples' money". Borrowing to invest can make a lot of sense, especially in today's extremely low interest rate environment. For example, if you could buy an investment that paid you a dividend of around 8% or higher and you paid an interest rate of 4% on your loan, you would then be making a net amount of at least 4% income on other peoples' money.

How to Get Rich - Know Your Housing Market

Do you think you can get rich by paying too much for your home ? Do you think the wealthy ever get caught on the wrong side of a real estate deal ? The answer to the above is a resounding NO ! Your Home as an Investment A common phrase often heard is that your home is the biggest investment you will ever make. I am not sure how this old saying ever got started, but my money is on the banking or mortgage industry. They are generally the ones with the most to gain from you having too big a housing debt. First of all, the real estate that you live in is not really an investment. If you can't draw an income from it, then it is really just a place to live. I find it amazing how most individuals have been convinced to think otherwise. Why is it that everyone seems to be obsessed with buying a home well beyond what they can afford or even need? The answer is marketing ! From the banks, the home improvement companies, and yes the numerous reality tv shows. What a scam ! A Place
