CREATING WEALTH

Wealth creation is not random—it is both a science and an art. It’s about playing a game with people, and this game requires energy, clarity, and strategy. The good news is, wealth creation is predictable once you understand the rules.

The game has two parts:
Mastering Yourself (the foundation of creating wealth)
Managing Other People (where wealth multiplies)

Each part builds on the other. Let’s break it down.

PART 1: MASTERING YOURSELF

The first part of wealth creation begins with you. Before you can create wealth or manage others, you must master yourself. This involves managing your energy, mindset, purpose, and focus—and most importantly, ensuring you have something of value to offer. Without a product or service tied to your value, there is nothing for people to pay for. Mastering yourself includes the following key principles:

1. The Energies of Wealth Creation

Wealth is a reflection of how well you align and manage your energy. Success and abundance flow from within—how you think, feel, and act determines what you can create in the external world. There are four energies to master:

Mental Energy: The power of focused, intentional thinking. Train your mind to focus on clarity, planning, and problem-solving. Scattered thoughts lead to scattered results.

Emotional Energy: Build resilience, emotional balance, and confidence. Overcome fear, self-doubt, and negativity. Emotional mastery is crucial for maintaining momentum.

Spiritual Energy: Align with God’s plan and trust in His purpose for your life. As stated in Deuteronomy 8:18, “God gives us the power to create wealth.” When your actions align with your purpose, wealth creation becomes a form of worship.

Physical Energy: Take intentional action. Time management, productivity, and discipline are essential to achieving your goals.

When these energies are balanced, you create the internal environment necessary for external wealth to flow.

2. The Power of Mindset

Your mindset is the foundation of your reality. What you think about wealth, money, and success shapes your life. Reprogram your mind by replacing limiting beliefs. Identify thoughts like “I’m not good enough” or “Money is hard to come by,” and replace them with empowering truths like “I am worthy of abundance” or “Money flows to me as I create value for others.”

Practice visualization. Imagine your success with vivid detail. See the home you want, the lifestyle you desire, and the impact you want to make. The clearer your vision, the more your actions will align with it.

Speak life into your goals through daily declarations. Examples:
“I serve others with excellence and attract abundant rewards.”
“Wealth flows to me as I create value for others.”

Your words and thoughts shape your reality. Say them with boldness, believe them with conviction, and watch your reality shift to match your mindset.

3. Clarity of Purpose: The “What” and “How”

Wealth begins with clarity of purpose. You need to know what you are called to do and how to do it.

Defining your “What” means identifying the value you can offer to the world. What unique talents and skills do you possess? What problems can you solve?

Developing your “How” means breaking your purpose into actionable steps. If your purpose is to help people through coaching, for example, your “how” might include learning new tools, creating programs, or building a platform to reach others.

Write your vision in detail. Don’t keep it in your head. When your purpose and goals are written clearly, they become your blueprint. They remind you where you’re going and keep you focused when life gets distracting.

4. Have a Product from Your Value

This is the cornerstone of wealth creation. Until you have a product or service tied to your value, there is nothing for people to pay for.

Ask yourself: What is my value? What do I offer?
Then ask: How can I turn this into a product or service that solves a problem for others?

It could be a physical product, a service, knowledge you’ve acquired, or even a skill you can teach. Without a product, there’s no transaction. And without transactions, there’s no wealth.

5. Understanding Time and Relationships

Time is wealth. Use it wisely. Are you spending it on things that align with your goals, or are you wasting it on distractions? Time is your most valuable resource—treat it as an investment, not just something to pass.

People influence wealth. Surround yourself with people who elevate, inspire, and challenge you. Stay away from energy-drainers who discourage or distract you from your goals. Your circle should stretch your thinking, not shrink your vision.

6. Wealth Is Not Status

Wealth is not about impressing others. It’s about living with purpose, freedom, and impact. Stop chasing appearances or external validation. Focus on creating real value.

True wealth means:
The freedom to live on your own terms
The ability to solve problems and make an impact
Building a legacy that aligns with your purpose

When you stop trying to prove yourself and start living with purpose, wealth becomes a byproduct of your impact.

7. Commit to Action

Wealth is predictable, but only when you act. Small, consistent steps compound over time. Commit to learning, growing, and applying what you know every day. Information without application is wasted potential. Start where you are and build from there.

PART 2: MANAGING OTHER PEOPLE

Once you’ve mastered yourself and created value, the second part of wealth creation is learning to manage other people. This is where wealth multiplies, and it requires a different set of skills. Managing others includes selling your value, leveraging resources, and scaling your efforts.

1. Selling Your Product or Service

Selling is non-negotiable in wealth creation. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a salary earner, you need to get comfortable with selling.

For salary earners, you must “sell yourself” by effectively communicating your skills, value, and contributions. Don’t stay silent about what you can do—let others know your worth. Document your results and share them confidently.

For entrepreneurs, clarify your product or service and sell it to everyone. Selling is not about manipulation—it’s about helping people solve problems with your value.

2. Get Used to Selling—Daily

Selling is a daily activity. Whether you’re offering a product, a service, or yourself, the psychology of sales is key. As Jordan Peterson said, “The product is 10 percent; selling it is the other 90 percent.”

Even my son learned this principle. One day he tried to sell his toys and made a flyer to paste in our living room. I asked him, “Who will buy from you?” He replied, “My family.” Then I asked, “What happens if we don’t want to buy, or we’ve already bought some?” He realized that for others to buy from him, they first needed to know what he was selling. That is sales psychology in its simplest form—people can only buy what they know exists.

3. Leveraging Other People’s Resources

To create and grow wealth, you must learn to leverage:

Other People’s Time (OPT): Delegate tasks and build a team so you can focus on higher-value activities. You can’t do everything alone and scale at the same time.

Other People’s Money (OPM): Learn how to raise capital, secure investments, and use financing effectively to grow your business or projects. Don’t fear money—learn how it works and how to multiply it.

Other People’s Knowledge: Learn from mentors, experts, and others who have already succeeded in your field. You don’t need to make every mistake yourself—wisdom is often one conversation away.

4. Build Financial Education

Financial literacy is essential. Learn how to manage your income, expenses, and investments. Track your finances diligently and look for ways to grow multiple streams of income. Ignorance is expensive—get educated and take control.

5. Build a Side Gig Where Possible

Even if you’re employed full-time, consider building a side gig to diversify your income. Wealth creation isn’t only for entrepreneurs—it’s for anyone willing to take intentional steps toward financial independence.

Learn a skill, start a small service, offer consultations, or create content around something you know. The options are endless, but they require a decision and a commitment.

Wealth creation is a game that requires mastering yourself and managing others. It starts with aligning your energy, mindset, and purpose and ensuring you have a product or service tied to your value. Once you’ve built that foundation, the next step is managing other people—learning to sell, leverage resources, and scale your efforts.

Wealth is not accidental. It is intentional. It is predictable when you follow the principles.

Commit to mastering yourself.
Commit to managing others wisely.
Commit to taking consistent action.

And you’ll create the wealth you desire.
