Wealth Building - Building Business. Building Wealth.

I just finished reading an article written by a good friend of mine who coaches companies and their employees to better performance. In this particular article, he was discussing women in business and the different set of attributes they bring into the workplace. And it got me to thinking.

For a long time, women in competitive careers were led to believe (and many times rightly so) that they had to "play a man's game" in order to progress and succeed in business. And though for years, women have been successful in business playing by "man-rules", it's absolutely not necessary, nor good advice for today's success.

What we now know of course, is that men and women may have different perspectives and approaches to business. But either can be successful in the entrepreneurial arena without giving up or giving over their own unique abilities.

Men and women have various attributes in common that are of benefit in the corporate realm, however, women are at their unquestionable best when we use the characteristics and attributes that are unique to us. And, employing those attributes to our own enterprises can make a good business an absolutely phenomenal success. Examples of the unique perspectives of female entrepreneurs can be found in niche markets such as catering, personal shopping or commercial construction cleanup just to name a few.

For those of you women who are about to delve into the world of entrepreneurship and are considering the type of business enterprise that you want to develop, here are some thoughts:

First, and most important for both women and men, is do what you love. There is something in you, something you're truly passionate about. Find a way to turn that passion into a business.

I've no doubt that you have probably heard that advice before, it's certainly not new. But there are several reasons that it is important. One, when you're involved in doing something you truly love, your passion is one of your greatest assets in driving your business. When you interact with others about the focus of your passion, you're animated, interesting and convincing in ways that would take much more time to practice and develop otherwise.

Passion causes you to be much more motivated, in fact you become what could be called "ultra" motivated. This is key, especially during the period before the money starts rolling in. For you to work an 8-hour day after you've already worked an 8-hour day for someone else (something all women know a little bit about), you have to be highly motivated. While you're building your business (and most people start businesses while they're still earning their grocery money from an outside employer), you have to have a powerful reason that causes you stay up working until 3:00AM, when you have to be up at 6:00AM to go to your "day job".

Another reason for developing your business from your passion is that whatever it is you're passionate about, more than likely you're an expert on. You've been reading and reviewing information on the subject for years. You've taken trips, visited sites, and participated in activities or events having to do with the object of your passion. You've already become involved in or developed some type of "network" (and ladies, we all know how to network) of other like-minded individuals who are as interested and passionate about your interest as you are. These are all excellent resources for you and for your clientele as you establish your business. It also greatly shortens or eliminates any learning curve relative to your business product or service knowledge to free you to concentrate on building the business itself.

In addition to pursuing your passion, another idea to keep in mind is that in the beginning, as you brainstorm ideas for your business development, let the sky be the limit. Use your wildest imagination to explore ideas and options. Don't begin the process of developing your enterprise by making a laundrylist of all of the reasons that you can't do this. Find absolutely as many reasons as possible to demonstrate why you can!

Last, and this is very important, be very selective about listening to the advice of friends and relatives. While they ultimately mean well (at least most of the time), the people around you are used to you and your life as it is. And, they're comfortable with that. Whenever you contemplate change, especially the types of changes brought about through successful business ownership, people can get uncomfortable. And when people are forced out of their comfort zone, they will fight tooth and nail to get back to it. If that means discouraging you in the process, then so be it, too bad for you.

Seems like a stupid question doesn't it. Any idiot knows that wealthbuilding is making money, and the reason that we do it (accumulate money that is) is because we want to have money and more of it. Right? Of course, that's right. Or is it?

Merriam-Webster describes wealth using several definitions including the 'abundance of valuable material possessions or resources', 'abundant supply', and 'all property that has a money value or exchangeable value'. Notice that the word 'money' doesn't show up until the third definition. Interesting hunh? I would be willing to bet though, that if you asked any person to give you a definition of wealth, the vast majority would say it means having lots of money. And, while that may be true, having wealth means more than having money.

Why do we engage in wealthbuilding? Do we really want money for money's sake? While a few miserly souls may answer in the affirmative, most of us would answer 'no'. Most of us want money because of what it can do, or what we think it can do, to enhance our lives.

We want money so that we can pay our bills and get out of debt. We want money so that we can provide a sense of security for our families. We want money to buy the home or car we've always wanted. We want money so that we have control over how we work and what we do, rather than giving that control over to strangers or corporations that know little, if anything, about who we are and the hopes and visions we have for our lives. Those are reasons to accumulate wealth.

Wealth provides access to resources and opportunities most of us don't otherwise have. It's the ability to obtain the best health care, and freedom to come and go as we wish. Want to take a trip to Tahiti, tomorrow? No problem!

Wealth is the ability to visit with our extended
families more than once every year or two. It's the opportunity to pursue those things that we're passionate about, whether that's birdwatching,
sailing the seven seas, or volunteering our
services to help the elderly, the homeless or needy children.

The true meaning of wealth and the significance of having
it, is more about abundance and resources. Wealthbuilding
in its purest sense is the accumulation of sufficient
resources to allow each of us to live authentic lives; to
be who we are meant to be in this time and place on earth.

'Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If
you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever
have enough...You are who you are. If you were a jerk before
you had money, you just become a jerk with money, and the
opposite is true. Wealth hasn't changed who I am. My feet are
still on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes.'
-Oprah Winfrey*

Getting rich is something many daydream about, but that's usually where it ends. Many people believe wealth is something unattainable. To think in terms of attaining wealth is considered foolish because "regular people don't become wealthy".

It's a lie. If you're interested in becoming wealthy, here are some ideas for places to start.

1. Find somebody who's rich. Follow their examples. If you don't know any rich people, look for stories about rich people and research them. Answer basic questions like:

How did they get rich?
What are their attitudes about money?
How do they accumulate money?
How do they invest their money?
How do they give their money?

Find similarities, and note differences. How do they relate to money differently than you, and how are those differences causing them to attract and increase their wealth?

An excellent resource for "regular people" is Secrets To Their Success.

2. Prepare yourself to be rich.
Learn about finances. Simple places to start include:

1.Money management.
2.Finding a system for organizing your money and money-related matters (a budget system and estate planning).
3.Getting the money that you have to work for you (as opposed to the other way around).

An excellent system for money management is provided by Financial Destination Incorporated.

3. Find your passion.
I've discussed this in other articles, but it's an important concept. Find what you love, then find a way to do it in terms of a profitable business.

4. Find a system or business to "plug into" (use as a catalyst or tool).
Once you've decided what business to go into, find a successful system or model in which to "plug in" your business and then watch it take off.

5. Hang around "like-minded" people.
If you want success, hang around successful people to shed old thought processes and bad habits.
