One who prizes the golden eggs over the golden goose is bound to eat into the seed and forsake the future

What do you do for a living?

  • A blue-chip portfolio of properties
  • Multi-million dollars worth of stocks
  • A few tonnes of gold bars
  • Alternative investments like Patek’s watch and Rembrandts's paint

Respectfully,What Do You Do For A Living? Articles forget all about that. Your most valuable financial asset is NOT how big your property or stock portfolio is.

Your most valuable financial asset is your EARNING ABILITY. This can be defined as your ability to get results that people will pay you for. Unless you are already financially free, your earning ability represents 80% to 90% of your financial value.

I respect someone that puts in honest effort to earn say, RM2,000 per month. But let’s face it, a stagnant RM2,000 income isn’t going to build you a multi-million dollar investment empire.

I don’t care if you are an employee or business owner. Here's the hard truth, if you are not setting ambitious income targets, or becoming more valuable at your workplace, or gaining wisdom from career or business mentors, you will be automatically left behind.

The harsh reality is, 99.9% of the top investors out there have an Amazingly HIGH Active Income. Don’t just be seduced by their Property Portfolio. What is my advice if we want to emulate them? Firstly, ASK them WHAT they do for a living, and HOW did they earn so much money. Close the gap between our RM2,000 and their RM200,000 first.
