The amount of money you have has got nothing to do with what you earn.. people earning a million dollars a year can have no money and.. People earning $35,000 a year can be quite well off. It's not what you earn, it's what you spend.
Invest in yourself. Your career is the engine of your wealth.
There are plenty of ways to get ahead. The first is so basic I'm almost embarrassed to say it: spend less than you earn.
Don't go into business with the sole objective of making lot of money. If you put service, quality, and customer satisfaction first-the money will follow.
Success on any level begins when you accept responsibility for creating life what you want. You are the only person who can truly make it happen. Not your boss, your business partner, your financial planner, your spouse of life-partner. Just you.

Learn as much as you can about your proposed business. Ask questions. Join industry associations. Study successful competitors carefully.
For many people a job is more than an income - it's an important part of who we are.
Be prepared for disappointment and frustration. Be persistent and bounce back even more determined to succeed.
A successful business is a good way to create significant wealth, but not every business will grow into a News Corporation or a McDonalds.
Study the business you think you might like. Satisfy yourself that they will suit your needs. There are so many alternatives available - don't be too quick to choose. Just about any business can fail and any can succeed.
The only prerequisites are past experience, a suitable personality and good communication skills: you need to be able to communicate adequately in English.
