The Seven Forms of Wealth

Wealth is not about having all the money in the world nor the top money generating machine. This are the core areas in our life when achieved makes us the richest person on earth. There are seven elements that we want to raise them to world class levels before we call ourself rich!

Inner Wealth
This means a positive mindset, high self respect, internal peace and a strong spiritual connection.

Physical Wealth
Health is Wealth! Whats the point of getting to a great place in your career if you get sick doing it? Why be the best businessperson in the hospital ward? Why be the richest person in the graveyard?

Family and Social Wealth
when your family life is happy, you will perform better at work. No one gets to the end of their life and regrets making their family their first priority. Related to this is the imperative of forging deep connections with friends and members of your personal community (including mentors, role models and trusted advisors)

Career Wealth
Actualising your highest potential by reaching for your best in your career is incredibly important. Getting to greatness in your profession brings a feeling of satisfaction on a job well done. It helps you make your mark. Being world class in your work is so good for your self-respect.

Economic Wealth
Yes, Money is important. Not the most important thing in life but very important. It absolutely makes life easier and better. Money allows you to live in a nice home, take beautiful vacations and provide well for those you love.

Adventure Wealth
To be fulfilled, each of us needs mystery in our lives. Challenge is necessary for happiness. The human brain craves novelt. And we are creative beings so we need to be creative constantly if we hope to feel joy. Lots of adventure is an essential element of authentic wealth.

Impact Wealth
Perhaps the deepest longing of the human heart is to live for something greater than itself. Each of us craves to be significant. To make a difference. To know that the world has somehow been better because we have walked the planet.

I invite you to focus on each element if you want to experience true wealth. Money alone does not define being wealthy. There are many rich people who are unhappy and unsuccessfuly as human beings. By focusing on elevating all seven of these areas to world class levels, you will not only shine ever so brightly for all those around you but also contentment that lasts.
