The 7 secret keys to wealth - Key #1: Add Value.

This article is one out of seven that I wrote about wealth. The whole series contain a lot of free valuable information about key factors that can help you become wealthy. The rich do things in a different way. That difference is the one I want to explain here. Let's scrutinize together these strategies that can make you more money and help you boost your income.

The whole series contain the following articles . . .

1. Add Value.

2. The Multiple Streams of Income.

3. Passive Income.

4. Residual Profits.

5. Leverage.

6. Specialization.

7. Compound Interest.

Now, based on my own experience I believe that one of the faster and safer methods to create wealth is to add value to other people's lives. You see. I believe that wealth can be created. The rich often become rich by offering better technology to other people than the one they already have. After all, that's the idea behind capitalism.

The idea is to become rich by enriching other people's lives. If you focus on making money, chasing money, growing money, getting money, you may stay poor. If you think about solutions, how to come up with solutions to other people's problems you may become rich one day.

The beauty of this is that you don't have to force people to give you their money. You don't have to steal, cheat, lie, deceive. In fact you don't need to make big efforts. You don't need to beat up anybody in business. If you come up with creative solutions to common problems and learn how to market the ideas effectively, people from all around the world will be willing to give you their money in exchange for the products and services that you offer them.

Your goal like mine is to make money. That's how we exchange values today. Money is turning into a drug in society lately, because many people can't understand how the system works. Before money was invented people could understand much better the concept of creating wealth.

This is how it used to work. Let's say that you were a farmer, so you had lots of food. Other person in the same town was a carpenter. So, whenever you needed some furniture for your house, you went to the carpenter and exchanged values with him. He agreed to make the furniture for you in exchange of some food for his family and himself.

In some way you agreed to work certain amount of time on your farm rising crops for others while others agreed to spend time working on their businesses for you. That's how it used to work and that's how it still works today but with a small change. Today we use money as a mean of exchange.

The reason we exchange values is because we humans can't be expert in everything. We use a special kind of social leverage. I do something for you because this is my specialty and you do something for me because that's your specialty.

The only difference is that today we use money as an intermediary which makes it even easier to exchange one value for other. Now I don't have to waste time with the carpenter agreeing how much I think a bag of beans is worth compared with a chair. The carpenter sells the furniture for certain amount of money and I know since the beginning if I want to purchase it or not.

The system is very similar though. By adding value, creating new products and innovating in general you are ahead of the competition. If fact sometimes, in the beginning you won’t eve have any competition at all, because you can create an entire new market for a product that didn’t existed before.

The bottom line is that innovation and creativity is one of the most important aspects of any business. People are always looking for new things, designs, products. If you can innovate, you can be ahead of your competition. Just don’t forget about the marketing, which is also very important. People need to know that your products exist.

As you can see, adding value and creating new technologies is one of the keys to wealth. There are many others which I discuss in more detail in other articles of these series.
