I could sum up the truth about wealth in one sentence. Wealth (and I'm speaking of financial wealth) is NOT something that a person can gain; it is something that is transferred.

And though many continue to pursue it, until they reach this understanding, it will always elude their grasps.

The transference of wealth is based upon the recognition of a true opportunity AND an effective means of communication to a specific target market. To boot, there are many tactics that serve as a vessel to reach this end result that many seek, but only a few ever truly find it.

A few of the major tactics on this list include:

· Scare - you'll need this protection, or else…
· Impulse - playing on the emotions or the senses, and
· Seduction - an alluring type sale that allows you to perceive getting what you want (i.e. that man or woman because you wear this perfume/cologne)

Of course the most powerful sales tactic is meeting a genuine need.

But even if you have a product or service that is needed, until you can effectively promote the identified problem of WHY it is needed and the solution as to HOW you can solve it, it will be just another failed opportunity to transfer a portion of the wealth into your pockets.

In truth, we spend more money and time investing in "motivational hype" than we do in seeking ways to effectively communicate the problem and solution to potential clients/partners. In short, our finances would be much better spent investing wisely in understanding a sound process, or putting one in place that will assist us in reaching our goals.

While speaking on wisdom, understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong in taking the time to understand a process, and then making that process suitable to fit your individual presentation and style. Any process that is made easier follow, or will allow someone else to take advantage of it by giving them a deeper understanding, can be nothing but an asset.

I have a feeling that most wealthy people, those who have chosen to invest in a particular company or idea and have been successful in their endeavor to enjoy the fruits of their wise decision, have learned to incline their minds towards recognizing and understanding a true opportunity.

I also believe that their minds were open to explore many such opportunities, and most likely discovered the ONE that would help them accomplish not only a life of wealth, but also a means to finance their previous goals and ventures. No, they didn't abandon their current dreams and work, just placed them on hold for a while. And when they discovered a gateway opportunity, they took a chance on it.

By contrast, those who had understanding when the opportunity presented itself, but wanted to wait to see where the boat was going to land, are still waiting or trying to make an opportunity for themselves today. Either that or they have given up the notion entirely to settle for a life of merely existing to make ends meet.

Remember this, the most profitable opportunities are often those that are the most overlooked. In addition, they are also the ones that come under the most fire. As a quick example, consider Xerox. Hardly anyone believed the big bulky copying machines would sell when they were first introduced to the market. Those who did choose to invest are reaping a very healthy and wealthy reward today.

It shouldn't be hard to see that in order to get the most from a genuine opportunity, it must first be recognized as an opportunity, visualized as an accomplishment, and finally followed through with committed action.

The final truth about wealth is that the transference is NOT reserved, limited, or unavailable, for anyone who has made a firm decision to take the 1) time to understand, and 2) the chance to allow a sound plan runs its course.
