As a child, I had plans of getting to the top but how I was going to get there, I didn't exactly know. All I knew was that just going to school and graduating will fetch me wealth.

Does going to school make you rich? Wondering how our parents had that kind of mindset in the first place and passed it unto us as kids. Well I think it gave me the motivation I needed to pass through school. So I wouldn't say it was entirely out of place.

As an adult, I have come to understand one thing and that is:

Building wealth takes time.

Wealth is not something that comes overnight. It takes a lot of patience, discipline and of course hard work. I know a friend who started selling oil perfume from her little room. And today she is still in the business even though now she has started importing. One thing I have come to understand in this school of wealth creation is that you have to put in all of the effort that you have.
The amount of effort that you put into any thing be it business or relationship is exactly the kind of result that you get.

Let's use the #hive blockchain for instance:

If you watch closely people who seems to be doing so well here are people who have put it extra work overtime. They show up everyday, engage every time, curate posts, participate in whatever they think will help the #blockchain grow. That's the kind of energy they get back at the end the day.

Building wealth is not for people who want to get rich quick.

I see some people especially young people who are so desperate to make it financially. These set of persons cannot build wealth because wealth building is a long term thing. Understand that you will fail if not a lot of times before you finally get it right.

People who fail and quit after that are not people who want to build wealth. Since it is a long term thing, you will keep working, keep trying and keep building too.

Wealth building starts from the mind.

You have to consciously develop the right mindset every time. And this entails thinking positively 24/7. Sometimes, our minds if we check carefully may just be the reason why we are not yet where we want to be financially.

Your thoughts, your beliefs and your actions synchronizes with your mind and if you do not have the right mindset, you may just end up getting disappointed and eventually giving up.
