Each of these world class entrepreneurs share their strategies which clearly work, - but they’re all completely different - some may even oppose and contradict each other. To make sense of it all, there’s one thing you need to know…

Their strategies work FOR THEM because of who they are, NOT because of what they do, and those strategies continue to work for them because they’re in, what we call “FLOW”.

If what you’re doing to build wealth seems stressful or hard work, then you’re not in your “Flow” and you’re probably doing the wrong thing. How you feel is the very best guide to help you know whether you’re on the right path, but do you really have to go through a series of “wrong things” to discover the “right things” for you to be doing? Absolutely not.

How to Find the Right Path for You

The process to discover the best path for you to follow is easier than you think when you consider two things: The Equation for Wealth, and Your Personality. ALL great wealth has been created in one of eight ways, defined by how we create wealth and leverage it.

Equation for Wealth

Wealth = Value x Leverage

Wealth has two components - Value and Leverage! There are two sources of Value (Timing and Innovation), and two ways to leverage (Magnifying and Multiplying), and depending on who you are, you’ll find some ways of creating value and leveraging it, it will come easier to you than others. As an example - if you’re a head in the clouds, sensory kind of person - timing won’t come naturally to you, but innovation will. If you’re a fly by the seat of your pants kind of person, then you’re better off trying to leverage by magnifying rather than multiplying, as multiplying is more likely to require following systems and processes which you’ll find don’t come naturally to you.

Six years ago a system was developed by overlaying the wisdom of the I Ching, energy frequencies, and modern day psychometric testing; with extensive study of successful wealth creators and their strategies for success. The result was a systematic way to identify which of the eight “games of wealth” fits best with your personality (Wealth Profile), and the equivalent of a “manual” which explains how to play “your game” (Wealth Dynamics).

With this understanding, you’d find it easier to navigate your way through what you learn while out to dinner with Bill, Martha, Donald and Michael. If you try to take bits and pieces of wisdom and strategies from each of them, your chances of creating wealth are slim. Compare this approach with identifying which entrepreneurial whizzes share the same wealth profile or personality as you, and gaining a thorough understanding of how they play their “game of wealth” - the same one you should be playing. This doesn’t suggest that you should do exactly what they do, or enter the industry they’re in, but it does suggest you need to learn the rules of the game.

Eight Games of Wealth: Eight Wealth Profiles

There are eight different wealth creation games you can choose to play, and when you know your wealth profile, you’ll know which game to choose. Here’s a very brief explanation of each of the profiles.

Creator… Creators are big picture thinkers with an awesome ability to get things started, although they tend to be shocking when it comes to finishing things. Their drive and momentum can be exhausting for others around them, and they themselves very rarely know how to use their drive and intuition to maximum effect. It’s common for a creator to flit from one project or opportunity to the next…without ever benefiting from the fruit of their efforts. Examples of successful creators include Bill Gates, Larry Ellison and Richard Branson.

Star... Stars are aware of the strength of their personality, and often use it to their advantage without realizing the negative impact it can have on those around them. As a star increases their ability to shine, they can often get burnt out with extreme demands on their time. Increased success frequently means greater stress, and an inability to capitalize on their stardom in a sustainable way. Examples of Stars who have found their natural path include Martha Stewart and Anthony Robbins.

Supporter… Supporters have strong interpersonal skills and are great at building relationships but generally poor at knowing how to use their ability to create sustainable wealth in a way that’s fun for them. They have little or no affinity for systems so it is easy for the value they create to be lost. Examples of supporters who have discovered the secrets to their profile are Rudolph Giuliani and Jack Welch.

Dealmaker… Dealmakers are naturally great communicators, influencers and negotiators with a great sense of timing. They may not understand their limits or how to best capitalize on their unique abilities, and may not believe deal making to be a credible way to build wealth. Examples of successful dealmakers are Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch.

Trader… Many people see themselves as traders, possibly as a result of the increased profile of online, retail and options trading. In reality, most people aren’t traders; which partially explains why most who try these things, lose their money. Their strength of operating at point blank range is also their weakness as they rarely plan ahead. George Soros has achieved great wealth through following his natural path as a trader without deviating.

Accumulator… The accumulator is the safest profile, and relies on a system to achieve incremental wealth growth. Many wealth seekers choose this approach but as it is also the slowest, they get itchy feet and move on before they achieve the success they hoped for. Many see accumulators as indecisive and procrastinators and they often go unnoticed. Warren Buffet is possibly the world’s most well known accumulator.

Lord… Lords look at the entrepreneurs and stars of this world and wonder why on earth they would ever want to do what they do. Lords are rarely seen, yet rolling in cash, and often in control of natural resources and man made structures. They act slowly and certainly, which frustrates many around them, and inevitably these characteristics may be the source of many of their challenges when it comes to wealth creation. John D Rockefeller and J Paul Getty are two successful and well known Lords.

Mechanic… A mechanic has the ability to control and manage people without necessarily having any charismatic leadership qualities. Mechanics endure and tend to rely on duplication and replication, and love to challenge the status quo. Mechanics may get caught up in the detail, at the expense of the big picture. Successful mechanics include Ray Kroc and Sam Walton.

For each of these eight profiles there are certain ways to:

1. Build a wealth foundation

2. Maximize critical moments of wealth creation

3. Identify the value creation activities that are most important to you

4. Establish what value you need to own, and how to secure it.

5. Leverage the value you create.

6. Secure your cash flow

7. Attract and develop your wealth network

8. Measure your success and key performance indicators

9. Ask questions

10. Lead and work with other key people

11. Develop and maintain effective operating environments

12. Look at opportunities - vision

13. Tap into and take advantage of industry and business cycles

The great news is that once you know your wealth profile, you know exactly what you need to learn more about, who you should listen to, and what you need to focus on. More importantly, you know what you can and should ignore, and what you should say “NO” to.

“Your Path: Your Purpose”

The universe is in constant flux, and we have the opportunity to live in resonance with this flux by understanding it, or to be in a constant battle against it. Much as a great surfer picks the right wave not by riding the wave, but by reading the ocean. When we live in resonance with it, we are in the “zone”, in our “FLOW”. When we are in the zone or flow, we move forward effortlessly. When we’re doing what comes most naturally to us, we can achieve so much more. Time appears to stand still, and more can be achieved in less time with less effort.

Wealth Dynamics and Wealth Profiling is your guide to tapping into your flow to achieve lasting success and wealth, but there’s another ingredient that’s necessary if you want to “LIVE IN THE FLOW“, - purpose!
