Full Show Notes:

The 10 Seeds of Wealth

  1. Think Wealth. You need to have a wealth mindset. Becoming wealthy should always be top of mind because all riches have their origin in the mind. Unfortunately, ordinary people want wealth without the sacrifices of accumulating it.
  2. Frugality. Frugality is the cure for all your financial ailments. If you want to build wealth, be frugal and save more than you spend. 
  3. Profitability. Wealth is built on profit-ability. Maximize your ability to make a profit consistently. 
  4. Get out of debt. Debt is the slave master of a free society. The faster you get out of debt, the sooner you’ll begin your journey to becoming wealthy.
  5. Save urgently. Don’t just save; save urgently. Banking all your excess income should always be your priority. According to Roshan, to become wealthy, you must transition from a consumer to an owner and an investor.
  6. Keep score. Track your net worth and review your assets at least once a year. 
  7. Beat inflation. You’re always in a race against inflation. So, always invest in assets that will beat or at least keep up with inflation. The last thing you’d want is for your purchasing power to lose to inflation, especially in retirement.  
  8. Minimize risk. This is a tricky one because to become wealthy, you must take risks. However, reducing your odds of losing money is almost as important as investing in the right assets or getting out of debt. 
  9. Multiply. Great minds are awed by the power of compound interest. The wealthy are always reinvesting their money because they know how much their money can multiply if given enough time. So, to be wealthy, think in decades, not years. Thinking long-term puts all the positive investment odds in your favor.
  10. Passive income. Always be on the lookout for ways you can earn passive income. The ultimate goal of being wealthy is to have security and freedom. And there is no better way to achieve that than through passive income.
