Wealth is defined as cash flow from other sources rather than how much money you earn. To become wealthy, your money must work for you by acquiring assets that generate additional income. The key to creating wealth is adding value through improving or speeding up products and services. Successful people look for ways to add value for customers, such as Domino's Pizza increasing speed of delivery or importing goods at lower prices. Any occupation can make you wealthy by finding ways to consistently add more value for others.
2. THE DEFINITION OF WEALTH
If you want to be
wealthy, you must
understand what
wealth is.
Here is the best
definition of wealth
you will ever find.
Wealth is "Cash flow
from other sources."
3. MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK FOR YOU
What this means is that,
you are not wealthy just
because you earn a lot of
money.
You are only wealthy when
your money works for you.
To become wealthy, your
main job is to acquire
money and then put it to
work making more money
for you.
4. ADD VALUE CONTINUALLY
The key to creating
wealth is simple.
It is called "adding
value.“
Successful people are
those who are always
looking for ways to add
value in some way to a
person, a company, a
product or a service.
5. DO IT FASTER
Here is an example of adding
value: Domino's Pizza.
The founders of Domino's
Pizza took a common food,
offered by thousands of little
restaurants and added a value
to the pizza by delivering it
more rapidly than anyone
else.
The added value of speed
enabled Domino's to create a
billion dollar empire and
made the founder of
Domino's, Tom Monahan,
one of the richest men in the
world.

6. BUY IT CHEAPER SOMEWHERE ELSE
Another way to add value is
to buy something in one
place at one price and then
make it available in another
place for another price.
For example, buying a
product or service
manufactured in Europe or
Asia, importing it to the
United States and making it
available to people to whom it
was not available before, is a
way of adding value for which
you can charge a higher price.
7. IMPROVE THE LIFE OR WORK OF OTHERS
All manufacturing and marketing is
based on this principle of added value.
All importation and distribution aims to
add value.
Performing a service that enhances the
life or work of another person adds
value.
A dentist who takes away pain is adding
value. An accountant who saves a client
money on taxes is adding or actually
creating value.
A salesperson who introduces a new
product or service to a customer that
helps that customer in some way is
adding value.
All financial success, especially business
success, is based on adding value.
It is based on the old saying, "Find a
need and fill it."
8. COMBINE AND RECOMBINE THE ELEMENTS OF VALUE
All successful business is
based on someone
bringing together the
factors of production,
such as labor, capital,
raw materials and
management, and
creating a product or
service that a customer
will pay a price for that is
in excess of the cost of
producing it.
9. HOW ALL FORTUNES ARE MADE
Adding value is the way that all
fortunes are made.
Whenever you see an
opportunity to give people
what they want at a price
greater than it costs you to
produce that product or
service, you see an opportunity
to make a profit.
Build a business and begin
moving toward financial
success.
Almost any business or
occupation can make you
financially independent if you
can find a way to add enough
value.
10. ACTION EXERCISES
Now, here are two actions you can
take immediately to add more value
to your time and activities:
First, take the time to be absolutely
clear about what it is that people
want and need to improve their lives
and work.
The more clear you are about their
real needs, the easier it is for you to
satisfy them at a higher level.
Second, look for ways to add value to
what you are doing every day in every
way.
Never be satisfied with the status
quo.
One small idea to add value can be
the starting point of a great fortune.
