Over the past several years, we have all become increasingly aware of the need to preserve our wealth, particularly since Wall Street and the Big Banks have seemed completely BlackBerry BCP-810 dedicated to eliminating as much of it as possible. Since so much wealth has been lost, baby boomers have according become refocused on creating more of it - again.
As we all continue on the process of creating more wealth, even in these later stages of our lives and our careers, it makes some sense to revisit the process.
Sometimes people lose sight of the most basic realities of the world we live in. For instance, what wealth really is. The fact of the matter is that once you understand this, creating it becomes much easier.
To put forth a very basic definition, wealth is nothing but stored value. All transactions that occur - both in business and in life - are fundamentally based on the exchange of value. Hopefully, most of the transactions that you have engaged in over the years - once again, in business and in life - have yielded you a net-gain on the value side of the equation. And hopefully you've been able to sock some of this value away, in one form or another, to create personal wealth for yourself. BlackBerry BCP-811 Over the years in other words, you have created value, which you have then saved in some form of wealth.
Today, therefore, if you are setting about to create your personal stockpile of wealth that has been eroded by events for the most part beyond your control, you must first, once again, begin by creating value.
Let's talk about creating value then for a minute. It's a simple phrase that includes a noun (value) and an action word (create). That's where most people get hung up. Despite the seeming simplicity, a lot of folks become intimidated by the 'create' part.
Most people create some form of value everyday, whether they realize it or not. Anyone who has a job gets paid a wage for the work they do. That work - at least in theory - provides value to the employer, generating compensation for that value in return.
Baby boomers need to realize though that if they are focused on creating wealth for themselves right now, the value they create doesn't mean taking on a job (or two). Think about it for a minute.
The word create is a very powerful word. There are lots of things you can create. What you choose is entirely up to you.
Baby boomers have amassed a treasure trove of skills and abilities over the years. A lot of boomers are putting those personal assets to use by writing, speaking or teaching. If you are good working with your hands, perhaps you can create products or projects. Jewelry, pottery, sculpture or even buildings might work for you. If you have a good 156-915.71 eye perhaps you can take or paint pictures, or even do graphic design work.
The bottom line is that the operative word in creating value is creating. Whoever you are and whatever you've done to this point in your life, you're good at something. Spend some time to figure it out. And then put those skills to use, and start creating value. Creating wealth will take care of itself.
