Think Of Wealth Building Like Planting A Garden

If you’re steady and simple with your finances, you can be fierce and original in the rest of your life. Building wealth comes down to three core concepts; spend less than you earn, allocate a portion of your income to a place that makes money while you sleep and don’t try and overcomplicate things.

Think of building your wealth like planting a garden: it may take a few weekends of clearing away the weeds, ensuring your soil is fertile, and deciding what you’d like to see grow. But once you’ve done the legwork and planted your seeds, most gardeners will tell you: don’t touch it! Let the sun and the earth, the rain and the insects do their thing, and over time your garden will blossom all by itself.

You’ve hit the glass ceiling. And our paywall.
