Wealthy Beyond Measure
How wealthy are you?
You are wealthy beyond measure!
The big question is how? It is said that Time is Money…the real secret is Time Invested Money Earned!
One of the ways to determine your worth is by assessing the value of your time. Let us say you earn $1,000 per week equivalent to $25 per hour in a 40 hour week. Over a full year the annual salary would be $52,000- is this therefore the value of your time?
No! - Double it! Take the value of your current pay and simply double it. Don’t believe me? Reality is that you have only accounted for half of your earning potential. In any given day, adjusting for 8 hours of sleep you have 16 hours – yet you typically only get paid for 8 hours.
So how do you grow your Wealth beyond Measure? T.I.M.E! Time Invested .. Money Earned!
We all have 24 hours in a day. Each one of us is like a Wall Street Investment portfolio manager making a daily choice to Spend or Invest our time.
So how do your get the best Return On Investment (R.O.I) for your time? To get the best R.O.I it is as simple as R.O.I : Relationships, Opportunities, and Innovation.
Relationships
Invest in building lasting relationships. Think of relationships as a bank account.. every time you invest time in the relationship you make a deposit. On a monthly basis there are standing bank charges along with withdrawals represented by failure to honour commitments which reduce the balance. Invest time in the relationships you value most to grow your wealth. At the end of the day, your true wealth and legacy is measured by the impact you have on others lives.
Opportunities
Always seek to invest in opportunities to grow yourself and others. There is an abundance of opportunities for growth all around us when we open our eyes. Invest time in seeking out opportunities to learn and bringing them to life to grow your abundant wealth.
Innovation
in·no·vate - “: to do something in a new way : to have new ideas about how something can be done”
Invest time in innovation. How can you do it smarter, faster and better.. and get paid for it! The best way to grow your wealth is through developing multiple sources of income.
Robert Kiyosaki, in the popular Rich Dad, Poor Dad book, tells a wonderful story to illustrate the importance of creating and building sustainable sources of income if you have a desire to be wealthy.

“Carrying buckets” represents a “job” or “self-employment.” Carrying buckets certainly works, but only up to a point. It is an inefficient way to get work done. You are limited by your availability of time as well as your capability to perform a task. Your results show a rather limited return for your efforts unless you are a highly paid entertainer, or sports athlete.
A “pipeline” is an effective system that is implemented to deliver a product or service. It is not limited by the constraints of your time or efforts. It is a “business,” and done correctly, has the potential to create a fortune.
Are you hauling buckets of water or building pipelines? Innovate and build pipelines.
In Summary..
Invest your Time. Remember Time Invested .. Money Earned and the best Investments for maximum R.O.I are in Relationships, Opportunities and Innovation.
You are indeed Wealthy Beyond Measure!
