Of all the keys to creating abundant wealth there is probably none more important than paying yourself first! It is the first step anyone should take on the road to building wealth.

People have always wanted to be rich. And why not? Financial problems are a drag! While most of us in the developed world aren't going hungry (unless we're on a diet!) we know what it is to have to budget in order to pay the house payment or rent.

Virtually everyone dreams of being rich some day. The thought of being able to drive the kind of car you desire, wear the clothes you like, and never have to worry about money being an object can look pretty good to us.

Recently, someone sent me an email saying that his life was full of problems. Everytime he solved a problem, a new one would emerge. 'Why can't goals be easy to achieve?' 'Why can't things go exatcly the way I planned?' 'Why is it that everytime I want to acheieve something, something will always go wrong?' 'Why Must Life be Filled with Adversities?'

If you are self-employed, then creating more value will automatically translate into higher profits & income. However, as an employee, tripling the value you create is no use unless it translates into a higher price tag.

Before you can increase your primary source of income, you must first understand what determines a person's income. Why is it that one person is paid $3,000 a month while another person is paid $30,000 a month?

Now you may be saying to me, 'I am already working eighteen-hour days! How much harder can I possibly work?' Or if you are working for somebody else you may be thinking, 'This does not apply to me.

Once again, the key difference that sets people apart in their ability to create wealth is not just how much they earn but more importantly, how they manage the cash that flows through their hands.

There are basically four levels of wealth you must aim to attain.
