Key Takeaways
The previously accepted method of building wealth doesn't work anymore. The truth when it comes to personal finances is simple: People's quest to secure a comfortable retirement often ends up making them poor and others rich.
The old way to get wealthy was to acquire assets like real estate, stocks and mutual funds using debt and then sit back and let time grow the net worth.
But that strategy is deeply flawed and is going to send many people to the poor house. That's because it ignores the one basic principle that overrides any wealth-building strategy that anyone who is truly rich knows: What we should really be focused on is not getting rich, but plain old cash flow.
Who Will Benefit
Those interested in helping their clients focus on what really matters not building wealth the traditional way, but ensuring cash flow.
