How To Build Real Wealth the secrets the rich dont want you to know about how to build wealth
Getting your mind in
line is critical when in comes to generating wealth. I like the old saying – ‘send the mind and the
body will follow’… well I like to say, ‘send the mind and the bank balance will follow’. You see
wealth very rarely comes from hard physical work, but comes in abundance when you use a little
brain power.
Wealth is a funny thing. We spend most of our lives to make it and then (if we make it) spend very
few years enjoying it. How about making it

Did You Know The United States Has More Than $71 Trillion In Assets?
If you want to be more conservative, you could look at the national net worth instead of national assets. By that metric, the collective net worth of the United States – that is, the total money left over after deducting all debt – stands at $ 57.4 trillion. When viewed from that perspective, it doesn’t seem nearly as difficult to start making money and building wealth. All you have to do in order to be successful is get a tiny, minuscule, imperceivable fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that to end up on your family’s balance sheet and you’ll be rich enough to afford anything you desire or require.
Other than a few tips for making money and saving money to help you get started on the basics, most of which are so obviously common sense that it is painful to realize many people continue to ignore it, what can you do to build your net worth and grow your investments? The key is to get away from selling your time. Instead, you need to be collecting dividends, interest, and rents. By providing your fellow citizens with things they want, such as ice cream or alcohol, insurance or real estate, you can generate an income. Therein lies the rub, doesn’t it? Hence, the old saying, “It takes money to make money.”
But there is an equally true proverb that comes from ancient China. It states, “All great fortunes comes from accumulated savings.” The first $ 10,000 is harder than the first $ 20,000. The first $ 20,000 is harder than the first $ 50,000. The first $ 50,000 is harder than the first $ 100,000. The first $ 1,000,000 is harder than the first $ 10,000,000. That is the nature of compounding, investing, and business. Success attracts success. If you are starting from nothing, you can do it but it won’t be easy. If it were, wouldn’t everyone have already accomplished financial independence?

There Is So Much That New Investors Don’t Know
One of my goals with this site is to take the lessons from my own portfolio, operating businesses, studies, and career and help fill in those knowledge gaps so you are empowered to make better decisions based upon your own circumstances, resources, temperament, and personality. Over the past few years, I’ve developed the conviction that a great many investors fail because of what they don’t know or don’t do. Writing out a few notes tonight, this included the following.
- They don’t have a long enough time horizon.
- They don’t think like accountants and amortize costs or focus on the long-run benefit and expense of a decision; e.g., they don’t understand that an $ 80 pair of shoes can be far more expense in the long-run than a $ 300 pair of shoes.
- They don’t understand that a $ 2,000 per share stock can be cheaper than a $ 3 per share stock.
- They don’t know what the peak earnings trap is.
- They don’t know that a p/e ratio can appear lowest right before a stock is about to collapse, creating a so-called value trap, especially with highly cyclical businesses.
- They don’t factor in dividend returns on common stocks, looking only at share price.
- They underestimate the power of compounding and the huge influence small difference in the rate of return can make on your ultimate net worth; e.g., $ 1 at 10% for 50 years grows to $ 117 but that same dollar at 15% grows to nearly $ 1,084 or a a retirement fund that charges a 2% expense ratio really can make or break your golden years compared to one that charges 0.25%.
- They don’t understand how fixed expense leverage in an operating company can result in drastically skyrocketing profits or earnings suddenly falling off a cliff prior to bankruptcy court.
- They stop investing at the wrong time (when stocks are falling) and start investing at the wrong time (when stocks are rising).
I’m building a list for new content and articles in the future. If you can think of a big mistake that you made that you wish you had known at the beginning of your investing experience, send a note or leave a comment so we can include it in the list of topics to cover.

We Know Netflix Is Doomed: What About Coinstar?
Things have gone from bad to worse at Netflix (NFLX) over the past few months, and the stock has crashed from over $ 300 to its current trading range in the mid-$ 60s. This disaster could be spotted a mile away by knowledgable investors (and was highlighted on SA many times). Netflix had an unsustainable business model and could not pay for both DVDs and content costs at a $ 9.99/month price point (for 1 DVD at a time). But when the company tried to fix this by raising the price for this service to $ 15.98, outraged customers left Netflix in droves. The anger increased when Netflix announced that it would split into two companies, forcing the company to abandon that idea. Subsequently, Netflix has endured multiple downward guidance revisions, culminating in the most recent news that it will be unprofitable for all of 2012, forcing the company to raise cash by diluting
