While you may think that success is about making money, the real challenge comes in growing that money and managing it properly so that you can help that money to continuously grow.
Exceptional financial performance and a high net worth come down to a set of wealth management skills and cultivating millionaire money habits.
On his journey to wealth and success, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker, also didn’t know this at the start, but he figured it out and learning the secrets to wealth management helped him not only become very successful, but grow his fortunes sustainably.
Let’s explore Harv’s mentality around why he believes money management skills are crucial in building wealth.
Most people are not born with these skills and very few individuals are raised with a robust education on strong personal finance.
So they end up learning how to develop them by changing the way that they think about money.
Society does not teach us the most helpful money skills, and most people need to teach themselves how to grow their wealth - in essence they have to learn how to become wealthy.
It may seem like a huge challenge at first, but with enough time and effort, it is possible to be able to change your old money habits with new effective ones that can help you manage your money more effectively, says Harv.
Wealth management is not about how much money you actually have – it is about what you do with that money, he adds.
You could have loads of money or very little money, but no matter how big your money goals may be; if you don’t manage your wealth, you will soon be poor again.
If you manage your money well however, Harv assures that you have far more chance of improving your finances in the long run.
You can start learning about wealth management from books, research and seminars, all of which offer a number of excellent tips and resources, Harv mentions.
As you continue working towards your goals however, he also adds that you may reach a point in life where you want to consider a mentor.
This mentor is someone who has been in your position, made their fortune and has the experience and know-how to show you how they got to that point.
If you think it feels strange to consider the idea of a millionaire wanting to assist you in achieving your dreams, Harv emphasizes that then you may still not have the right attitude about wealth just yet.
Learning how to recognize these feelings is the first step in letting go of those old habits, he says.
Start to understand that rich people can also be good, kind people.
Many wealthy folk are always willing to help with mentoring.
Often, these people have been through the same challenges that you have faced, and are happy to lend a hand to teach you what they have learned.
Mentors are able to help you learn more about developing business relationships, managing multiple income streams and determining the best investments.
According to Harv, all of these are crucial skills when it comes to managing your wealth, and often, you couldn’t learn these skills without the help of someone who has been there and done that.
Books, videos, stories and case studies impart a limited amount of raw data, open to interpretation.
However, if you wish to develop or sharpen your wealth management skills, and want to experience the benefits of a millionaire mindset then learning through mentorship and practical daily application are best.
You're one decision away from a healthy financial future in every moment you decide to reinforce a good habit, instead of relapsing back into bad habits.

Has your Mind ever wondered...
Being proactive and excellence orientated, you must be able to be flexible, adapting to changing situations with an analytical eagle eye not only for key areas you’re researching, but also for new opportunities to invest in.
The self-discipline required for impeccable management of resources, responsibilities, finances and consequences of your choices will reinforce the trust you have within your own ability to build wealth as well as facilitate clear communication about your strategies pertaining to your endeavor.
Wealth management at it’s core, can be diluted to essential planning and responsible execution of investments, retirement, estate/asset & legal provisioning, accounting & tax calculations, planning for retirement, charity contributions, management of investments and buying/selling businesses, benefit review of social security & health care and the like.
Wealthy people are financially free, flexible, stable, disciplined and wealth-minded.
