EMAS VGMC: Get Rich

You Do Not have to be Rich, to Get Richer

Someone asked me whether we have to be rich in order to get richer. Well, as matter of fact, you do not have to.

Richness is something relative anyway, but sure, it is a symbolic of having surplus money in the bank and other assets. At the same time, we can notice the change of life styles of the persons when they are having more and more money. These could be in the form of their dressings, the cars they drive, the restaurants where they go to, the houses they live in, the vacations and exotic places that they can afford to visit.

However, getting richer is not necessarily that you are already having a “rich life style”. In this context, getting richer is when you are continuously increasing your assets. You may have $10,000 in the bank, but today there is an increase of, say, another $1000. Tomorrow, there would be a $1000 more. The incremental steps could be small and gradual, but it is always on the uptrend. And this is what is meant that you are getting richer.

Let us see whether this phenomenon is happening to you. Are you improving by days, gaining more money every day? Is your bank account keeps growing in cash? Are you getting more profits in whatever you are dealing with? Is your asset list keeps on increasing? If the answers are all positive, obviously you are getting richer.

At one stage in your life, you should make some decisions and be committed. The important decision in your life is “how to get richer”. There are several approaches to the ways you can achieve your goal. Different person will have different ways. It should be alright, as long as it stays morally legal.

You can start looking for some guidelines and advices to achieve your vision. The best way is for you to seek advice from those who had done it. Families can be a good source of getting opinions provided that they have an open mind. More often your ideas are easily shot down, but look at the bright side, this shows that they care. They can be good supporters to your quest.

Never trust an advice from someone in difficulties. It can be a poor judgement. Trust more from those who have already been successful. Seek as much advice as you can, but the final decision has to be your own doing. Do not blame others for any failure.

An interesting concept put by Napoleon Hill

“People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, have the habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly, and of changing these decisions quickly and often”

We can realize that a set of “good decisions and commitments” would be the way to success. Let us see the two short videos of a “someone” who was once unemployed, but became a millionaire in less than three years.
