Welcome to Wealth D y namics
Congratulations on taking action!
In the following pages you will learn what it means to be a Deal Maker profile, and how it helps
you find your flow. We’ve also given you a number of examples of well-known Deal Maker profiles
who have kept to their natural path, and reached great success in doing so.
“The men who have s uc ceeded are the men
who have chosen one line and stuck to it.”
- Andrew Carnegie
In this report you will recognise the strengths and weaknesses of your profile, and see what you
should – and more importantly should not – be doing to stay in your flow. We also cover how
your profile links to the other profiles, so you can begin to appreciate the people around you, how
to bring out the best in them and support them towards their own natural paths. You will see that
Wealth Dynamics is far more than a profiling tool. It is both a language of entrepreneurship which
allows us to tune in to the concept of flow, and it is a map of wealth, which allows us to see that
wealth has a place for all of us, provided we follow the path that allows us to shine.
How to get the most out of your W ealth Dynamics P rofile
If you think of the eight profiles as eight games that are as different as basketball is to football or
baseball, you can see that each one has different rules, different locations and different winning
and losing formulas. In basketball, you’re told to pick up the ball and not to kick it. In football,
you’re told to kick the ball, not pick it up. In wealth creation we constantly get contradictory advice
and neither is wrong, it’s just they are referring to different games.
To get the most out of your Wealth Dynamics Profile, it begins by making a commitment to one
game, and one game only – which is the one that gets you into flow. Mastery comes from
consistently playing that game until it is second nature. This report is the first step to gaining clarity
on what that game is for you (you will recognise the times in your life when you tuned in to your
path and were in flow, and the times when you were not and life seemed like hard work).
This report comes with a ‘Power Pack’, which is a one month tutorial including audio, video and
content to support your mastery of your profile. We recommend you follow that and then, when
you are ready, begin to use some of the resources at the end of this report to equip you on your
path.
Enjoy the journey,
Roger James Hamilton

Your Primary Profile in a n u ts hell
Wealth Creation Ke y: Connecting the r ight people, the right time
Strengths: Outgoing, entertaining, approachable, listening to others, always
connecting people, quick to see opportunities, always in conversation.
Weaknesses: Needs structure to get results, often too quick to please, often
mischevious, easily distracted by others or their ideas, unsure of their own identity.
S uccesses: Best when free to connect with others, out and about. Deal
Makers need variety and constant contact, with clear directions and rules to the
game. They are energised by others and work by bringing people together.
Fail ures: Without clear direction, Deal Makers are often lost or can’t decide
on the best way forward. They are so busy helping others, they often forget
themselves. They will hide in the background if not acknowledged or included.
The best roles in teams: Sourcing materials or resources, speaking
one-to-one, looking after everyone, service-focused leadership, learning through
role-play and hands-on experience, communicating one-to-one.
The worst roles in teams: System planning, measurement, creating
new ideas or plans, public presentations, task-focused leadership, learning
through visuals, communicating through visuals or presentations.
The best roles in life: Networking, negotiation, partnerships, market
research, peacekeeping, conflict resolution, diplomacy.
The worst roles in life: Financial accounting, system design,
disciplining, innovation, project leadership, product design, detailed reporting.

While Stars are high in the sky, Deal Makers have their ear to the ground. Creating value through
timing, not creation, a Deal Maker lives in the present. As Donald Trump said, “I try to learn from
the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s where the fun is.”
Of all the profiles, the Deal Makers rely most on the relationships around them. While a Star’s value
grows as they become less accessible, a Deal Maker’s value grows as they become more
accessible. They are constantly on the phone and on the move. They create most value by
spotting connections around them. Once the deal is done, the new value created enriches
everyone involved.
Successful Deal Makers don’t try and shape their surroundings to suit them, but shape themselves
to suit their surroundings, listening and learning before acting. Whether it is David Geffen in
Hollywood, Donald Trump in New York real estate, or Rupert Murdoch in media, every successful
Deal Maker has picked a single area from which to attract the best deals in their market and create
the most valuable connections. Successful Deal Makers include Donald Trump, David Geffen,
Masayoshi Son, Henry Kravis, and Rupert Murdoch.

While others may burn relationships to build bridges, Deal Makers will burn bridges to build
relationships. After all, who needs a bridge when you are the bridge? Deal Makers are the great
connectors, and the best ones understand how to grow value for everyone with every connection
and introduction they make.

6. Deal Maker
Your Primary Profile Description
Le t’s d o L u nch
Deal Makers are in their flow when they spot the differential in the deal. While Traders will multiply
the trades and control the spread, Deal Makers will control the deal and magnify the spread. As a
result, a Deal Maker can make a billion dollars in just one deal. A Deal Maker’s natural
communication skills put them in this position, and for this skill to shine, they need to be in front of
people. They will always add far more value negotiating over a salad than over a spreadsheet.
Deal Makers are natural communicators, influencers and negotiators. They have a great sense of
timing. As a result, they can easily become intoxicated by their own success, looking for each deal
to be bigger than the one before. This trend, however, is often the undoing of a good Deal Maker,
who will go one deal to far and get burnt badly before they learn their limits.
How De al Mak e r s l e ad be s t
Deal Makers are people people, but they are more private than a Star, and
prefer to work one-to-one. Don’t expect Deal Makers to stick to a plan, and
do expect them to come back from a meeting often with a very different
outcome than expected, but a much better one. Deal Makers lead best when
they are able to be in constant conversation with their ear to the ground, not
isolated from the crowd or stuck in the back office.
How De al Mak e r s com m u n ica te be s t
Deal Makers need to hear all sides so communication is always in stereo.
Masayoshi Son became the richest man in Japan by bringing America’s
biggest Internet brands into Japan, benefiting the American companies, and
benefiting the Japanese consumers. As each side of the equation grew, so the
deals grew. Communication to a Deal Maker is also about what’s not said.
As Donald Trump says, deal making is an art, not a science. At the critical
moment what you say and how you say it can make all the difference: you
can lose a million by what you say, and you can make a million by saying
nothing at all.
How De al Mak e r s g e t i n to flow
All sports stars, movie stars and rock stars have agents and deal makers
representing them. Deal Makers get into flow by having a strong brand or
product to talk to others about. They love to recommend others, and get
into their flow when not focusing on themselves. Deal Makers shine when
given a project or task to gain support or enrolment for, when they can speak
passionately on behalf of the needs of the team.

Two Case Stu dies
Rupert Murdoch
“Outwit, Outplay, Outfox”
Murdoch built hi s global m edi a e mpi r e f rom on e n e w spape r i n Adel aid e, Aus tra li a,
fifty- four y e a r s a go. Today, N ew s Corpora tion, is a publicly listed compa ny on th e
Aus tra li a n, N e w York a nd London s tock exch a n g e s, a nd i s on e of th e world’s
la rg e s t m e di a compa ni e s wi th ove r $23 billion i n r ev e n ue .
Murdoch inherited the Adelaide News when his father, Sir Keith Murdoch, died in 1952. Murdoch
was 21 years old. From early on, he preferred to buy rather than start new businesses, saying, “In
terms of starting new businesses, I’ve always been a skeptic.”
While Mechanics, with their systems, limit choice (typified by Henry Ford’s famous statement “You
can have any color as long as it’s black”), Deal Makers, with their networks, broaden choice. It is
this passion for broadening of choice that has driven his strategy: “Communicating news and ideas,
I guess, is my passion - and giving people alternatives so that they have two papers to read (and)
alternative television channels.”
Murdoch’s relentless strategy, acquiring media titles and using their cash flow to acquire further
titles, has taken him into new countries and new markets as opportunities emerged. From the age
of 29, Murdoch went on a buying spree. Seeing the opportunity in England, he bought the News of
the World and the Sun, followed by the Times in 1981. Using cash flow from his tabloid titles, he
funded his satellite TV network, Sky.
Page 7
8. Murdoch’s heavy expansion in the 1980’s came with a series of crises. First, he overcame a dispute
with trade unions in Wapping, followed by an urgent restructuring of his debt as the 1990’s
recession hit. He dealt with both in his flow, taking advantage of the poor market to force a
merger with his competitor, BSB, to form BSkyB and dominate the UK satellite TV market. His
actions led Sunday Times editor, Andrew Neil, to call Murdoch "probably the most inventive, the
bravest dealmaker the world has ever known".
Relying on cash flow and debt financing for his acquisitions, Murdoch repeated his formula in the
United States, buying the New York Post in 1976, and Fox Studios and seven Metromedia TV
stations in the 1980’s. To overcome US ownership laws and complete the transaction, Murdoch
became a US citizen in 1985.
From dominating the press, to dominating satellite TV, Murdoch continued to move wherever he
spotted the greatest flow to leverage. When asked by a reporter whether he still stood by his
earlier words that newspaper classifieds were media’s “rivers of gold”, he replied: “Sometimes rivers
dry up.”
Murdoch had already moved his focus to
broadband and content in online
networks, buying MySpace for $590 million
in 2005, gaming company IGN for $650
million, and a share in DirecTV for $6
billion. For Murdoch, this was a natural
progression: "The Internet is about giving
lots of people lots of choices. Everything
we've ever done is about giving people
choices."
How does a dealmaker oversee a $20
billion empire with 750 companies in 50
countries without getting bogged down in
detail? Deal Makers do not need excess
paperwork. Murdoch explains, “We have
weekly reports - flash reports - which state
profits and losses for nearly every single
division. Our finance people put that
together. I've had that since the day I
started, when it was in pen and ink, right
down to the overtime - every detail. Just a
sheet of paper.”
Today News Corporation encompasses
HarperCollins Publishers, BSkyB, News
International, 20th Century Fox, Fox TV
and Star TV. With a $6.7 billion fortune in
2005, Australia’s richest man now lives in
America and, at 75 years old, continues to
play the game. In an interview with The
Bulletin, when asked what he would lik e
to see differently, he said, “I’d like to see
the future a bit more clearly.”

“The Donald”

Trump found a vacant hotel on land owned by Penn Central Railroad, which owed New York City
$15 million in back taxes that the city needed. Trump planned to buy the land for $12 million,
persuade the city to accept part payment of the taxes owed in cash and part in profit share, then
find a big hotel operator to run the hotel and convince a bank to loan $80 million to build it.
With little of his own money, but plenty of his time, over the next two years he worked on the deal.
Eventually he succeeded in the purchase, with Bowery Savings Bank fronting the money, Hyatt
opening the hotel as the Grand Hyatt, and Trump launching his real estate career.
Trump’s father was a successful
developer in Brooklyn, and in 1975
Business Week reported the Trump
family’s fortune at $100 million. Trump
chose to move out of his father’s shadow
and focused on Manhattan property.
Over the next fifteen years he built his
reputation in New York, building Trump
Tower, the Wollman ice-skating rink, and
a series of casinos in Atlantic City. As with
every Deal Maker, he stayed hands on in
his deal making, while delegating
everything else, saying, “Every time I come
over to a site, I make a lot of money. My
father used to tell me that you can’t make
money sitting behind a desk.”
By the late 1980’s, banks were lining up with easy credit for Trump. Trump’s attorney, George Ross
said, “If he needed $60 million, the bank gave him $80 million, even if the project wasn’t worth $80
million”. Trump bought the Plaza Hotel four months after the 1986 stock market crash for $407.5
million, borrowing $425 million from a syndicate of banks to fund the deal. Trump gave a personal
guarantee against the loan – something his father had always advised him against doing. By 1989,
Forbes Magazine said Trump was worth $1.7 billion, but behind the scenes he was fully leveraged
with debt payments he would soon struggle to make. More significantly, Trump had begun to lose
his focus, spending less time on deal making and more time promoting his brand. By 1990, the
property market turned, leaving Trump in trouble.
Trump, however, didn’t blame the markets. He blamed his own lack of focus, saying, “In the late
eighties I lost focus. I’d fly off to Europe to attend fashion shows, and I wasn’t looking at the
clothing. Then, the real estate market crashed. I owed billions upon billions of dollars - $9.2 billion,
to be exact.” As the new decade began, Trump was faced with the loss of three top executives in
his casino business as a result of a tragic helicopter crash. The press was hounding him about
relationship problems with his wife Ivana and mistress Marla Maples, and he was billions of dollars
in debt. Trump had just launched the $1 billion Trump Taj Mahal Casino, and within months was
not able to make a $41 million bond payment due on one of his other casinos. His bankers gave
him a $56 million emergency loan and deferred $2.7 billion in debt in return for security over his
three casinos. Trump was put on an allowance and charged with running the operations, taking
him out of his flow.
Page 9
10. With over $3 billion of outstanding business debt and $900 million in personal guarantees, Trump
described how he was called in at 3am to attend a meeting at Citibank. He said, “That was the low
point. There were thirty bankers sitting around a big table. I phoned one Japanese banker, then an
Austrian banker, and then a third banker from a country I can no longer remember.”
Trump’s woes became public, and in 1990 Jersey Record columnist, Mike Kelly, wrote, "If we still
had debtors' prisons, Trump would be in the dungeon" and adding, "Donald Trump is a Third
World Nation." Trump regained his focus, renegotiating his debts while aiming to keep control, if
not ownership, of his assets. He continuously focused on making it to 1995 intact, saying later, “I
knew that if I could survive until 1995 and hold on to most of my properties, which I did, the market
would come back, and it did.” With the press against him, the banks watching him and his wife
divorcing him, Trump worked down his debt. In 1995, he took his casinos public, raising $2 billion
and making him debt free. By 1997, Trump was back to being a billionaire. Reflecting on his
experience, Trump later said, “I was a schmuck, but I was a lucky schmuck”.
Over the next eight years Trump built back his reputation in New York property, remaining focused
on the deal. With no computer or email, Trump remained constantly on the phone. “My phones
are so busy that I require two executive assistants, and they never stop. They alone handle, on
average, more than 1,250 calls a week … my whole life is just one big negotiation.” To understand
people more effectively, Trump read up on psychology, saying, “For me, reading the work of Carl
Jung was a step in the right direction. If someone had told me in business school that studying
psychology would be important for financial success, I would not have believed it.” Trump equates
this ability to tune in to the people around him as the “technique for seeing into, versus reading
into, the people around you”.
In the new millennium, Trump was approached by Mark Burnett, who pioneered the reality TV
genre with “Survivor”, and in 2004, “The Apprentice” was launched, taking Trump back to a focus on
his brand. Over the next two years, on the back of the success of “The Apprentice”, Trump’s name
began appearing through books, key note talks, and talk show appearances. While Trump
continues to make millions from leveraging his brand, he can continue to make (and lose) billions
from his deals. We, in the meantime, continue to benefit from his experiences. Trump follows in
the footsteps of billionaires like Carnegie and Getty by writing books on wealth. His book “How to
Get Rich” gives a range of gems such as: Keep your door open; Make sure both sides come out
winning; Let your guard down but only on purpose; and, If you have them by the balls, their hearts
and minds will follow.

Your Wealth Creation Strategy
To see the power of this six step strategy, see it as the building of a
mountain followed by the carving of a river. Once you have a Wealth
Foundation and begin investing in staying in flow by maximising your
moment of Wealth Creation, the river forms. Owning the value you
create before leveraging it is critical, and then securing the cash flow is
the final step that often gets forgotten!
1. Building Wealth Foundation
Your wealth is in your relationships, and the higher level your relationships, the
higher level the deals will be that you do. The time it takes to do a deal that
makes you $100 is not so different from the one that makes you $1 million. Build
your relationships but set the level you want to play at! Align yourself with the
connectors and financiers who can provide you with the resources.
2. Moment of Wealth Creation
You need to maximize the time invested picking deals, finding the right people
and managing negotiations. As a Deal Maker, choose your niche and grow your
network. Seek out value differentials to bring potential buyers and sellers together.
You need to clear the decks to give you the time to do this job well, and with the
right advisors around you, a fantastic deal could be just a month away.
3. Value Creation
Focus on building a team to seek and attract the best deals. This team becomes
an appreciating asset, growing in value with every new deal that you make. Invest
in your negotiating skills and tuning yourself in to your market.
4. Value Ownership
Wealth comes from not just finding the deal, but controlling it. That means your
ownership will come down to the relationships on either side of the deal, and the
details of the deal – both legal and financial. You become the critical link.
5. Leverage
You are magnifying your record, which means that you are building credibility as
you go, and will need to be leveraging on someone else’s credibility when you
begin. Your leverage will also come over time as your team develops track record.
6. Secure Cash Flow
Too many deals have gone through in which the Deal Maker remembered
everyone except himself. Your cash flow must come from the deal itself, as that is
where you are delivering value. So although you may want some equity stake for
your efforts, your focus must be on the front end commission, back end
commission and auxiliary fees you are charging to make the deal happen.

The Five Frequencies
Synchronizing with the Seasons
Our primary profile is the game we play when we are in our flow. Each of us has a primary profile
based on the balance of our frequencies. We were all born with a different mix of five
‘frequencies’, first identified in the Chinese ‘Book of Changes’: The I Ching. Through Richard
Wilhelm’s translaion of the I Ching, passed to Carl Jung as he was devising ‘Psychological Types’,
these frequencies have become the basis of modern psychometric tests, as well as the basis of
Chinese disciplines such as Chinese Medicine, Martial Arts and Feng Shui.
The four base frequencies form the four sides of the Wealth Dynamics square. Each of these four
frequencies is a state of change, like the four seasons. When you take the Wealth Dynamics
profiling test, you identify how much of each frequency you hold. The balance determines which
of the eight games you play most naturally: the one that creates the greatest resonance and
harmony with your natural frequencies. The more time we invest in harmony with our strongest
frequency, the sooner we get into our flow. Here are the five frequencies:
The fifth ftequency is what Aristotle called ‘The First mover’, being the source to the rest. This is the
water energy, which is the basis of flow. This frequency is outside of time. The five frequencies
form a cycle that begins and ends at water. Every project, business, industry, country goes through
these frequencies as they cycle from creation to completion to creation again. You are currently
going through this natural cycle with each relationship you have and each journey you embark on.
Our effectiveness changes as we resonate with our environment, and also as we resonate with our
time. Even in the right environment, as time changes we can lose our flow – our winning formula
can become a losing formula. Great entrepreneurs recognize this, and so will move industries and
even countries to stay in the flow.

one of the five aspects of vision, based on
the question each asks most naturally.
Dyn a mo provide s P e r spectuv e
- Be s t a t a skin g “ W h a t ? ”
Perspective is related to depth of vision.
Perspective gives a deeper view of what is
possible. Perspective focuses light and
sparks the flame, yet this focus can miss the
elements on the periphery. Dynamos are
great at providing perspective, but often at
the expense of the peripheral issues.
Te mpo provide s P e rception – B e s t a t a skin g “ W h e n ? ”
Perception is related to breadth of vision. Peripheral vision gives a wider view of what is there.
Perception includes more distinction on what already exists, grounding experience in place and
time, yet can miss what might be. Tempos see the wood for the trees, but often miss the bigger
picture.
Ste el provide s Cl a ri ty – B e s t a t a ski n g “How ?”
Clarity is related to the detail of vision. Clarity can see in black and white, and can pick up detail
that others will miss. Clarity can clearly distinguish between the different elements of a situation, yet
can miss the fun in the moment. Steels see every detail, but often at the expense of the people
involved.
Bla z e provide s Colour – B e s t a t a skin g “ W ho? ”
Color is related to drama of vision. Color can make our vision come alive with variety and vibrancy.
Color allows us to see the rainbows in light, and gives us a chance to dance, yet with color we
lose clarity, and can easily miss the detail. Blazes see the excitement, but often miss the detail.
Spirit giv e s I n s i g ht – B e s t a t a skin g “ W hy ? ”
The fifth element offers the fifth aspect of vision, insight. Insight transcends our two eyes, and is
seen through what different cultures have termed the ‘third eye’. Insight relates our outer world to
our inner knowledge, or in Jungian terms, our ‘conscious’ to our ‘unconscious’.
When we bring together the right team, we build the power of great vision. Through vision, we can
turn our thoughts to action. With great vision, we can turn great thoughts to great action. We can
turn dreams to reality. Making magic is a team sport.

Leadership of any business needs to evolve as the business evolves. As Henry Ford said, “Asking
‘Who ought to be boss?’ is like asking ‘Who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?’ Obviously the
man who can sing tenor.”
As the season of your business changes, ensure the right profile is leading the change. The leaders
of the most successful new start-ups are always Creators and Stars with dynamo frequency. The
leaders of companies that are acquiring market share and market presence in a consolidating
industry are always Supporters and Deal Makers with blaze frequency. The leaders of the most
successful companies who have already begun to dominate their niche are always Traders and
Accumulators, and the leaders of companies consolidating mature markets are always Lords and
Mechanics.
How do you know what season your business is in? Simply by seeing what season you have just
passed through. If you have a great product that has proven itself in the market, you are out of
spring and into summer, focusing on building your market. If you have many new customers and
sales are coming easily, you are out of spring and into autumn, focusing on servicing your
customers well. If your customers are happy and your staff settled, you are out of autumn and into
winter, focusing on building the right systems for the next spring.
The biggest error that entrepreneurs make is when they hold on to their winning formula for too
long, by which time the seasons have changed and their winning formula has become a losing
formula. Another error is when they put the wrong people into the wrong position, basing the
choice more on their qualifications and knowledge than their natural passions and talents.
Your choice of who should be where within your teams is as important as who should be leading
your enterprise or projects.
“Talent wins games,
but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.”
- Michael Jordan
Your flow comes from following your natural path. Your team momentum comes from each team
member following their natural path. Each frequency and each profile has a different role within
the team where they can be most effective. Often the best team selection is not the person who
can be most effective, but the person who enables the existing team to become more effective.
Here are the 8 profiles, and the role within the team that allows them to be in their greatest flow:
Page 25
26. The Best Team R oles for each Profile
C re a tor
Creators are the best initiators, and although they can be quick to create chaos, they
can also be surprisingly innovative at finding ways out of chaos. Always put them in
charge of new projects, but move them on to the next creation once their job is done.
Sta r
Stars are the best promoters, but need to lead from the front. Give them the chance to
shine, and give them the space to deliver results without tying them down. Give them
the systems and support to enable them to focus on building new business.
Supporte r
Supporters are the best leaders, but don’t expect them to come up with the plan. Build
a plan and set the goals with a Supporter, and then let them lead the team towards the
plan. Let them set their own management style, and their own agenda.
De a l Mak e r
Deal Makers are the best peacemakers, and will leave everyone feeling good. Don’t
expect them to go out cold calling, as they thrive on building the relationships they
have. Work with Deal Makers to nurture the customer and relationships you have.
Trade r
Traders are your best negotiators. They will always get you the best price, in both what
you buy and what you sell. They want to be given the parameters in which to work.
Traders will have their ear to the ground in your market and your team.
Accum ul a tor
Accumulators are your best ambassadors. They are reliable, get things done on time,
and are not prone to making rash decisions. Accumulators make the best project
managers, when a specific task needs to be delivered reliably.
Lord
Lords are your best analysts. Give them the space to study the detail, and to deliver the
data. Don’t ask them to go out and network, as they are strongest when focused
behind the scenes.
Mech a n ic
Mechanics are your best completers. They will wrap up the process and find smart
ways to do it better next time. Don’t ask a mechanic to start from scratch, but do
give them an existing process or product to improve on.
When we place a team member out of their flow, we really only have ourselves to blame for the
result. Of course, when others are not set up to operate in their flow, it is only a matter of time
before you are pulled out of your flow as well.

Profiles in Hist or y and Cult ur e
You will find the eight profiles throughout history. The characters we relate to in stories and films
are often the extreme expression of the profiles, and we immediately recognise and connect with
them when we see them. Many of the most successful feature films and TV series work because
they throw a series of different characters together, and all the drama and comedy comes from
the way they interact with each other. Here are three well known examples of a mix of characters
who depend on each other despite their differences.
Friends
TVs longest running sitcom is based on six friends
who each have a different character. Each has habits,
faults, quirks and qualities based on their Talent
Profile. Laughing at Friends is like laughing at parts of
ourselves and people we know:
Joey – Star (outrageously outgoing); Phoebe –
Supporter (bubbly and fun); Chandler – Deal Maker
(overly sensitive); Rachel – Trader (nurturing and
sensory); Ross – Accumulator (worried about
everything); and Monica – Lord (obsessed with detail)
Star W ars
George Lucas designed the characters in Star Wars based on the work
of Joseph Campbell, who was heavily influenced on Carl Jung’s
‘archetypes’ and the journeys in which they interact. As one of the most
successful Hollywood franchises, Star Wars has all the leads play one
of the eight Talent profiles, and we see the drama played out through
their strengths and weaknesses:
Luke Skywalker – Creator; Hans Solo – Star; Chewbacca – Supporter;
Jabba the Hutt – Deal Maker; Princess Leia – Trader; C3PO –
Accumulator; Darth Vader – Lord; R2D2 – Mechanic
Winnie the Pooh
Cartoons also adopt the Talent profiles to bring the
characters to life. A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh has all

Frequen tly Asked Q uestio ns
Here are some questions you might have on Wealth Dynamics, and some simple answers.
W h a t if I’ m worri ed th e t e st ca m e ou t w ron g, or my profile ch a n g e s ov e r ti m e ?
Your profile result is based on the questions you answered. If you’re worried you are another
profile, then focus at that game instead. The most important thing is that you choose one game
and stick to it. Those who keep switching games will always be uncertain which game to commit
to, which is why they never make it into the big leagues in any of them.
C a n I u s e my profile a s a r e a son for my f a ul ts ?
Every football player in a match takes ownership of their position, but all take responsibility for
winning the game. When you know what you aren’t so good at, you can still take responsibility for
those areas by having others help you or putting a system in place to minimise your failures.
How do I g e t i n to flow if ev e ryon e a round m e i s in ch aos ?
A river doesn’t wait for the rocks to leave before the water flows. In fact, you’ll find more rocks in
rivers than most other places. You can step into your flow regardless of the reaction of those
around you, and you will soon find others who are playing the same game being attracted to you..
Should I ri sk i t all to follow i n th e foots teps of my Billiion ai r e rol e m odel s ?
A skier aspiring to ski like his heroes on the black run doesn’t start on the black run. But if the skier
commits for the long term to be a great skier, and starts at the level that does not result in a wipe
out of money, time and confidence, then it’s inevitable they will one day be on the black run.
Roger’s Wealth Spectrum Test will identify exactly which of the nine levels of wealth you are at
now and the specific steps. To move up with certainty and confidence.
W h a t if I’ve r e a li sed I’ve be e n doing tota lly th e w ron g thi n g ?
Don’t despair and don’t throw it all in. Don’t quit your day job just yet. Even Superman had to be
Clarke Kent to earn a living before jumping into his spandex pants and saving the world. Roger
runs regular events and coaching sessions to work with entrepreneurs who are making the transition
to a life designed around stepping into and staying in their flow.
I love th e W e a lth Dyn a m ics concept. C a n I becom e a pa rtn e r ?
