This book is not exhaustive. There are many ways to make more money and to cut costs. Babysitting. Walking dogs. Clipping coupons. Carpooling. Running weekly writers meetings. It would be impossible to cover them all.
And we haven’t even touched on starting your own business, where you assume all the risk as compensation for potentially huge rewards. The principles we’ve discussed here apply to business owners as much as salaried employees.
The most important factor is your mindset. Your attitude. If you focus on building wealth as your number one priority, it will happen. If you lose focus, if you allow yourself to be distracted, it won’t.
Even Warren Buffet, perhaps the most successful investor of our time, gets it wrong sometimes. His investment in Conoco Phillips lost him over $1 billion by 2012 when the oil price dropped and the company’s stock fell accordingly.
Warren Buffet’s number 1 rule was never to lose money.
His number 2 rule was never to forget rule number 1.
Of course, not everybody can be like Warren Buffet.
Some people will be better than others at building wealth. We can’t all be champion bodybuilders. Or award winning musicians. But we can all be better at whatever we put our minds to. We can become the best we can be in any field, through years of dedication and practice.
Those who stay the course see the results. If you stop going to gym because your muscles hurt, you will never be Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you give up guitar lessons the first time your fingers blister, you will never be Jimi Hendrix.
