Money is not the main asset in life, time is

‘Greed is good’ – Gordon Gekko, ‘Wall Street 2- Money never sleeps…’ Talk

I recently watched this sequel to Wall Street and it reminded me once again that wealth is a state of mind. There will always be money coming in, money going out, and money MULTIPLYING, whether we are a part of it or not. There are people who know how to do the latter and there are people who don’t. It has been my mission to make people realize that there are many ways to add value and make money and

DO NOT trust your pension, the government or anyone else to secure your future.

Taking notes from the original Wall Street movie with Charlie Sheen as the hero, he is led to believe that making a lot of money, being rich, was mean or ruthless. In Wall Street 2 there is apparently a different message; that family and love are just commodities you can’t buy, whatever happens in the money markets, the economy… your career not so secure anymore.

Despite the pessimism that is portrayed in the media (apart from 3rdi of course… we like to defy the norm) and a large part of this film; think how many millionaires and billionaires have been made in this so called ‘recession’.

Look at one of the social media gurus of the 2000s mark zuckerburg the founder of (well, one of) Facebook who rose to fame and fortune in one of the supposedly worst economic periods since the Great Depression.

Returning to the tough businessman, Gordon Gekko in the sequel, Wall Street Two. he mentions: “Someone reminded me that I once said ‘Greed is good.’ Now it seems like it’s legal. Because everyone drinks the same Kool Aid.”

The point I’d like to make here is that it’s okay to make money, it’s okay to be rich, it’s okay to add as much value to as many people as possible with integrity…in the shortest possible time. possible time! For example, I’ve been using Facebook a lot more for business over the past few months, and now I’m starting to see big gains. There are MILLIONS of people joining Facebook on a regular basis and whether you are for it or against it is a phenomenon which is still increasing rapidly so far and India and China are still not fully connected!

My wish for you is that you read these articles every month and that you feel inspired to take control of your finances and your life and make it what you absolutely DESERVE and not what you are settling for. That you are using some of these tips and exploring them for yourself. Just thinking about it and writing goals or notes. Have you already noticed any memorable changes?

I’ll cheekily use another quote from the original Wall Street, one of the key characters Bud Fox says “There’s no nobility in poverty.” I have to agree in the broadest sense (obviously, there are always exceptions to the rule: Gandhi, Mother Teresa…) that for the common person, it is better to have a comfortable and abundant lifestyle rather than one filled with deficiencies. deprivation and jealousy. I am living in a part of the world where there are total extremes of utter lack of means and those with billionaire status and large, secure estates. You CAN make a difference and you have a choice.

We are almost coming to the end of ANOTHER year…we are galloping through another decade of our lives and I really want you to make the necessary changes to feel comfortable acquiring more wealth. As I mentioned in the last article, to advance you have to enter the uncomfortable zone… it will be worth it!

So, your actions for this month, if you decide to accept it, are:

  • Go back over last year’s articles and review any areas you need
  • Your personal wealth sheet?
  • Calculate your liabilities and your assets?
  • Did you apply the Cappuccino Factor?
  • What were the biggest challenges you faced in creating a new money mindset?

These are just a few questions for you to think about and act on over the next four weeks. Next month we will review 2010 in more detail and commit to some action!

I’ll leave you with my favorite quote from Mr. Gekko from Wall Street 2:Money never sleeps;

“Payback. Except I’m not in that business anymore, because the only thing I learned in jail is that money isn’t the main asset in life. Time is…”

For your health, wealth and success
