Ewen Chia was slated to be one of the key speakers at the recent Global Internet Summit in Penang but he was a no-show to the great disappointment of everyone. The organizer did not explain why Ewen failed to show up. I would have thought that an explanation was warranted.

Last night, my son Les and I attended a preview of the Robert Kiyosaki Live In Malaysia seminar that will be held in Kuala Lumpur in May this year. About 4o people were at the preview. The facilitator for the preview was Andy from Singapore who shared his life story of how a Form 5 school leaver like him whom his paternal aunties had looked down upon as someone doomed to be a failure managed to become a very successful stock options trader, trainer and speaker.� The gist of his message is that to be successful, you must have a COMPELLING REASON. His compelling reason was that he wanted to make his parents proud of him despite his paternal aunties’ prejudiced opinion of him. He stressed on the vital importance of financial education, an area that has been missed out by most of us. And luck is defined as opportunity meeting preparation.� True financial freedom is when you have money freedom, time freedom and lifestyle freedom. According to Andy,� dreams without action is just daydreaming. And action without dreams is like a nightmare. Believe in yourself and don’t let others steal your dreams.

The preview ended at about 9.45pm.. And when we got home, we found out that there had been a power failure in our housing area since 7.30 p.m. The power failure lasted till 9.00 am this morning. We could not get a good night’s� sleep due to the heat and the mosquitoes. I was also unable to post anything on my blog last night.

I got an interesting email from my eldest brother yesterday. The email contains a great story about the power of belief and I would like to share with you the story now.

A businessman was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were�demanding payment. He�sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if�anything could save his�company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him.

“I can see that something is troubling you,” he�said.

After listening to the executive’s woes, the old man said, “I believe I�can help you.”

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and�pushed it into his hand saying, “Take this money. Meet me here exactly�one year from today, and�you can pay me back at that time.”

Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest man in the world.

“I can erase my money worries in an instant!”he realized.

But instead, the executive decided to put the the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his�business, he thought.

With renewed enthusiasm, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few�months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with�the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.

“I’m so glad I caught him!” she cried. “I hope he hasn’t been bordering you. He is always escaping from the rest home and telling people he’s John D. Rockefeller.”

And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he’d been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

Being rich is having money, being wealthy is having time – Margaret Bonnano.

There is a glut of books on the subject of creating wealth. This subject always fascinates us as we strive to achieve the goal of financial freedom. And what is financial freedom? Someone once defined financial freedom as being able to do what our heart desires without having to worry about where the money is going to come from. It is being able to live our lives the way we want. It is about getting out of the rat race. It is about having the time and money to pursue our dreams and our purpose in life.

How does one accumulate wealth? It all seems so simple……saves a part of everything you earn and invest it. Yet the majority of us fail miserably to even make ends meet. What is wrong with us? Are we fated to be poor? Or do we lack investment skills?

I guess a lot of us want instant gratification. We know we need to save so as to accumulate wealth. But the need for instant gratification makes us lose track. We must buy that new home theater system or that new computer. We must go for that overseas holiday. Even if we don’t have the money, we can charge these purchases to our credit cards. We start getting into the habit of accumulating credit card and financial debts. Before we know it, we are literally working just to service all those debts.

The lack of patience is another factor that contributes to our financial downfall. Sticking to a plan requires a lot of patience,sacrifice and determination. We often give up when we see the slow progress that we are making towards achieving our goal. We fail to realize the magical power of compound interest. Given time and a reasonable rate of return, regular savings can grow into a huge fortune.

And yes, many also seek instant gratification when it comes to accumulating wealth. Just look at that immense popularity of lottery and gambling. We lose sense of the incredible odds that are stacked against us. Wake up, there is no free lunch!

One book that has touched the lives of a lot of people is “The Richest Man In Babylon” by George S. Clason. It has become a classic and a must-read for all who seek financial literacy.

In a nutshell, the book spells out the following seven steps to accumulate wealth (or as the book puts it, the seven cures for a lean purse) :

Step 1: Start Your Purse To Fattening
Save at least 10% of everything you earn. A part of all you earn is yours to keep.

Step 2 : Control Your Expenditures
Budget all your expenses, making sure you do not spend more than 90% of your earnings.

Step 3 : Make Your Money Multiply
Make your savings work for you. Take advantage of opportunities.Remember the power of compound interest.

Step 4 : Guard Your Assets From Loss
Be prudent in your investments and make sure your principal is safe. Insure also your assets where possible.

Step 5 : Make Your Dwelling A Profitable Investment
Buy your own house with cash or as big a downpayment as you can. Don’t buy a house if you are going to incur a huge mortgage. You may think you are buying an asset but you are actually taking on a huge liability.

Step 6 : Insure A Future Income
Plan well in advance for the needs of you and your family. And don’t forget to insure your own life especially if you are the sole breadwinner in the family.

Step 7 : Increase Your Ability To Earn
Seek out new skills. Learn new things. Take up study courses. Increase your earning power.

The key to financial freedom is to make your savings multiply. In the words of Robert Kioyasaki, author of “Rich Dad And Poor Dad”, the poor and the middle class work for money but the rich have money working for them.The rich know how to convert their earned income , if they have it, into assets that generate passive and portfolio income.

Embark on your journey to financial freedom now. It just needs a firm determination on your part. Where the determination is, the way can be found.
