Principles of Wealth: Make Good Use of Liquid Capital, Establish Financial Management Concepts, and Cultivate a Wealthy Personality. You Don't Need a Rich Dad—You Can Make It on Your Own!

Does successful wealth accumulation depend on the personality you developed as a child?

Are you still obediently depositing money into the bank, thinking it's safe and secure?

Do you feel that "using connections" is shameful and that networking doesn't matter?

Becoming wealthy isn't like that at all; you have to start by adjusting your mindset!

▎Can Freud's "Anal Personality" also be applied to the wealthy?

In Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the personality formed due to dissatisfaction during the "anal stage" (ages 1–3) is the "anal-retentive personality," characterized by excessive attention to detail, stubbornness, and persistence. However, these traits happen to coincide with the personality characteristics of those who successfully build wealth.

║ Attention to detail: Intolerance for messy work environments and inefficient team members.

║ Stubbornness: Investors in financial institutions need conservative and persevering qualities to perform fiduciary tasks.

║ Frugality: Needless to say, without frugality, how can one save or become rich?

These minor personality quirks, when used in the right place, might be the very reason you make your fortune!

▎Networking is Your Net Worth

They say more friends mean more paths, and every major road in your network is a "divine aid" toward success! The people a person knows, the social circles they frequent, the things they encounter, the resources they can obtain, and so on—this is "networking." In today's society, one should no longer believe in the creed that "going it alone" leads to success. Just like the active salons among 18th and 19th-century aristocrats, you should break into social circles and grasp your network!

▎To Accumulate Money, You Must First Let It Flow!

Nowadays, most people think "financial management" is just putting money in the bank... and that's it! While you can earn some interest and enjoy the compound interest effect, interest is eroded by inflation, making the actual rate of return close to zero. Have you ever heard of someone getting rich solely on bank interest? Clearly, it's a fairy tale! Viewing money as "energy" and putting it into fields with higher rates of return—such as investing in stocks or real estate—is the correct and effective way to manage finances. People who put money in the bank simply think it's a safe way to "save for a rainy day," but in terms of long-term interests, not only will they fail to get rich, they may even become financially dependent. Since you are preparing for a "rainy day," you should be preparing for the entire "rainy season"!
