In my live Wealth Academy seminars, I usually do an exercise where I get people to stand up, go to as many people as they can and introduce themselves.

Is there a formula for wealth creation? Do all self-made millionaires take the same steps to amass their fortunes? If we were to do an in-depth study of how self-made millionaires think and act, would we find some common clues that we can learn from? The answer is yes.

The most common question that people ask about getting rich is, \'What is the best career or business that will make me the most money? Should I go into education? Food? Insurance? Network marketing? Heathcare? Options trading? Property? What\'s the best industry to be in right now?\'

You see, making money is a game. If you learn the rules of this game, money will flow into your hands. If you do not play by the rules, you will struggle all your life financially despite working very hard.

Besides taking steps too increase your value, you must also increase the time you spend creating value to boost your income.

Over the last few years, I have interviewed people who were among the highest income earners in their industry and people who were the average income earners.

Let me pose you this question. Between a pop star like Madonna and a heart surgeon, who creates greater value in a person\'s life?

I am sure that no matter where you are in your career, you desire to create more income for yourself. For most people, only two options come to mind.

The truth is that many of these beliefs and attitudes that some people hold have about money are nothing but inaccurate generalizations and excuses that keep them from living a truly a happy and wealthy life.

When you focus only on increasing your value per hour and the time you spend, your income increases in a linear fashion. There is a limit to how much you can earn a month, since there is a limit to the number of productive hours you can work. You are literally just selling your time for money.
