I've read quite a few wealth clichés, but few people truly think clearly about what wealth really is.

Most people equate wealth with the numbers in their bank accounts, but this is precisely the biggest misconception. Money is just the outer shell of wealth. So, what is true wealth? It’s when you put down your phone, go to sleep, and wake up to find your account still growing automatically. In other words, it’s assets that can operate autonomously.

This is the power of leverage. Some people work tirelessly their whole lives, resulting in a linear increase in money over time. But if you master leverage—whether through investing, entrepreneurship, or building a personal brand—the growth becomes exponential.

Many people think wealth is far from them, but it’s not about distance; it’s about the wrong direction. It’s not about earning more, but about making your money work for you. Once you start thinking this way, your approach to life changes completely.
