7 Ways to Build Wealth Personally or In Your Business
Money is a valuable tool for all of us to have and use in our lives. It is there to be accumulated and used… but we must learn how to do both or we will never have wealth and what money we do have we will most likely not keep.
In 1926 George S Clason published The Richest Man in Babylon. In this systematic and entertaining book Clason presents and details the ways to accumulate and keep wealth that are when applied as certain as the law of gravity.
“Money is plentiful for those who understand the simple laws which govern its acquisition.” – George S Clason
In the book Clason introduces Arkad, the richest man in Babylon.  Early in the book Arkad is asked by the King to teach 100 men the secret to wealth. Here is a summary of what he taught them.
  1. Begin paying yourself first.
  2. Budget and control what you spend. Discipline yourself to live on far less then you earn.
  3. Make your money work for you. Invest in safe enterprises or the highest rates of compound interest available.
  4. Keep your savings safe. Do not speculate.
  5. Buy a home for yourself and your family.
  6. Insure you future income for your retirement and the estate you will leave your loved ones.
  7. Increase your ability to earn. Be the best at what you do and learn to do more.
