Money can be earned, but wealth has to be created. Every one of us wishes to
be rich and wealthy. But sometimes due to lack of awareness and other times due
to sheer idleness, we fail to make optimal utilization of our existing resources and
simply derail from the journey to wealth creation.
So what does this have to do with habits? When you nurture those actions that
lead to wealth creation they’ll soon become second nature, leading you to
habitually do those things that can help you build wealth. In the words of Aristotle,
“They teach us that who we are and what we have is a result of what we
repeatedly do. Wealth then, is not the result of an act, but the result of our habits”.

efforts to make money and create wealth:
