The Millionaire Fastlane

by M.J. DeMarco

Wealth is strong-spirited familial relationships with people. Not just your family, but with people, your community, your God or spirituality, and your friends.

Second, wealth is fitness: health, vibrancy, passion, and boundless energy. If you don't have health, you lack wealth.

“Faux wealth” is when you adopt culture's default definition of wealth and try to establish, then maintain, the illusion. Ultimately, the dogged pursuit of “faux wealth” does something terribly destructive: It destroys real wealth.

Businesses that solve needs and provide value win. Businesses that solve problems win profits. Selfish, narcissistic motives do not make good, long-term business models. Think about the purpose of businesses. Why do they exist? To satisfy your selfish desire to “do what you love?” To meet your craving for wealth and financial freedom? Seriously, no one cares about your desires, your dreams, your passions, your “whys,” or your reasons for wanting to be rich.
