    About this ebook

    Become wealthy instead of just rich. Why would you invest your time and energy working for a company, while you could easily focus on becoming wealthy instead.

     

    Do you think you are too broke, don't have the knowledge, or are not smart enough to get wealthy? Let me help you break through all those barriers of self doubt and show you the steps towards wealth building.

     

    Finally live the life you always wanted, with the freedom to go and do whatever you please, with no one telling you what to do. A life where you are your own boss, which allows you to go on as many exotic vacations as you want.

     

    A changed mindset and a plan of action are where we will begin and managing your wealth is where we will end.

    Investing in Yourself - Giovanni Rigters

    Introduction: Vision for Success

    The path to riches is waiting for you with open arms. Besides an overabundance of riches, wealth has additional benefits: financial freedom, peace of mind, no more long hours at work, exuberant lifestyle, and great health. 

    Why work your whole life stressing out over projects and unrealistic deadlines, horrible bosses, unqualified coworkers and all the irritants that present itself in corporate life, while you can take that same energy and work on creating wealth and ownership instead?

    Not many people can generate wealth that can last them for a lifetime and beyond. Even many of our senior citizens who have worked their whole life and retired out of the job market have financial issues and distress.

    The reason for this is that people focus on making money first and wealth secondary. The typical person focuses on working at a company and climbing up the corporate ladder or switching from one company to another every so often, getting a higher salary in the process.

    While in the working years, people focus on all the essentials: a comfortable home in a great neighborhood, transportation to and from work, a good school for their children, and their retirement account.

    Nowadays, many people think that their home and retirement accounts are their wealth generators. But this is not how wealthy people think.

    The secret to creating wealth is not through working for companies your whole life, but through assets acquired from the three wealth builders.

    Chapter One: Wealth Creation

    Stop working for money and start working towards acquiring assets! Now, don’t get me wrong, money plays an important role in building wealth, but if you only focus on making money, you will never see the bigger picture.

    An asset is something of value that you own. As a smart investor, we're only going to focus on assets that appreciate. A car, for example, is an asset that depreciates (unless it's a classic and you work on the upkeep), because it is worthless the more miles you put on it by driving it around.

    Not only are we going to focus on appreciating assets, but we'll also use these specific assets for their increasing income streams. However, not all assets produce an income stream.

    Wealthy people continuously acquire assets. This is how they keep getting wealthier and because there is no retirement date for wealth like there is for a career, they keep acquiring assets until they pass away. Their wealth is then strategically passed down to their family.
