Hi Bruce,

I’m a big fan of yours, thanks for sharing man, i find this thought provoking and we lack people like you – who are extremely passionate (genuinely) about helping others – in a true sense of the word.

I’m based in Cape Town and discovered that at some point you were here in South Africa this year, i really felt like kicking myself so hard for not knowing. When coming again please update me in advance and automatically book me in as your no.1 fan cause my attendance is guaranteed for sure.

Take care now and keep well.

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for helping get my link right and sending me here to this blog-post of yours. It has definitely made a change in my focus….MONEY IS NOT WEALTH!All these days I had been focussing on generating wealth in terms of money… now on its Wealth as wealth…the experience, the tangible assets which only I can have.
Like someone said in one the posts here, everyone, even the successful ones, have counted their wealth in terms of money, and that is what everyone is focussing on, those cheques and cash… things which just seem to evaporate in course of time. Thinking of money, as wealth, can make it more permanent…the bank balance is wealth and not just figures somewhere on paper.
I like your blogposts….keep it going, for they help change our focus.
Thanks, once again.

So ABsolutely To The Point. I believe that you have “Hit the Nail on the Head” again Bruce. Do not change a single word in this article since it explains everything. Since doing my own Profile I have been so much clearer on my Purpose and life Mission, so here goes ! to Wealth Creation – Keep on Sailing Bruce.

Hi Bruce, great article, and I absolutely agree about the focus on wealth. I’m still working with Darren Eden and bringing so much more of what I love into my life by accessing my intuition – music, creativity, and bigger plans than I ever dreamt I could make! This is all building into a wealth legacy that is way bigger than me, and a journey that is full of excitement. Having just left my job to make this journey more exciting still, this blog is even more reassuring!

In terms of the Wealth Dynamics stuff, I can’t comment fully as I haven’t done it. I believe that the more you know yourself, the more powerfully you can understand when you are living from your heart and when you are living from you beliefs about your capability. My concern from what I heard from Roger on Saturday(at Making it Big in 2010) was the concept of a need to ‘improve’ on yourself to ascend up the levels, when I’ve come to believe that we do better to take the ‘self’ and more particularly the identity out of the picture and go into the connectedness of our heart and imagination to create real change.

Hope you’re well. Take care x

Hey Bruce!

Thanks for hooking me up with the Wealth Dynamics test.
The insights and clarity about EXACTLY what I should and should not be doing has given me rocket fuel for my business activities in the past week.

Now I can stop trying to do stuff that I hated in my business (which always made me feel guilty and weak) and start ONLY doing what I do best. This is awesome.

I had my wife, who is my business partner, get her profile and WOW are we a power team now that we understand each others best roles. Funny because we were both trying to do the other persons job!

In the past few days I have had several of my clients take the test and I have been helping them understand themselves at a profound level. Now I am going to REQUIRE all of my clients to do the wealth dynamics test. Other wise we are wasting our time and energy.

Again, thanks for hooking me up with this stuff!

Your friend and fan,

Bruce,

Very good article. I’m glad I stopped by. Many people, myself included, get confused about this concept. Truly understanding this concept adds to our wealth!

Hey Bruce

The whole wealth / money thing is something I think about a lot! And I have to say that this short post has made a real shift in me today (which I’ll have to return and explain some other time, once I’ve let it simmer awhile, and allowed clarity to emerge).

I don’t agree with Robert, by the way – you might be able to ‘do better’, but it’s absolutely brilliant just the way it is.

Your sense around money is good, and can be extended. Take a look at the History of Money as presented, at some length, at http://www.xat.org/xat/moneyhistory.html. Very though-provoking.

I find it fascinating that, with money, first there was gold. Then there was a paper replacement for gold, with a one-to-one relationship. Then that grew to a one-to-many relationship (the birth of banknotes). Then, in 1973, Nixon unilaterally broke the gold standard, taking the gold out of the system altogether and leaving just the paper. Then came plastic. Now, it’s largely digital – a series of 1′s and 0′s on banking networks that we don’t control, and have very little access to.

So it’s not just that the paper money is, in reality, worthless; it’s that the paper is rapidly being replaced with digits inside a machine – money couldn’t get much less tangible if it tried!

Kyosaki reckons property (real estate), gold and silver are the only three tru stores of monetary wealth worth considering. Everything else is vulnerable and ephemeral.

Good writing, man! To be continued…

Bruce Hi
I like you immensely also your freshness and entheusiasm and this time I would ask you to look again at your money wealth issue. Yes I understand what you are intending to explain. The problem is this, I have met many self made very wealthy people who became very money rich by focusing on the value of money in their pockets or their bank accounts.
I know you are dedicated to your weblog otherwise you would not have published it.
I have a feeling it is like telling entrepreneurs “you have to make mistakes to succeed.” Try telling that to facalty examination board or your boss. By the way the uncorrupted quote is “to succeed in business learn by your mistakes. You see the gulf between the two yet at first sight the former seems to say the same as the latter. Another is the saying that it is difficult to make change. The fact is we make changes all the time and find it so easy we don’t even notice.
The original quote is, “when we really want something we make changes with ease, when someone else wants us to change for their sake we find it difficult to change.”
Like your explanation between money and wealth it is so important to think clearly what you are really saying in relation to what you think you are saying.

Bruce, could you rethink that blog article perhaps making it simpler and shorter would help make your point more clearly. I feel you can do far better.

Love your show, power to your camcorder.
