Here is how it works. Earned income from your job (whatever is left after your expenses) is saved and then invested into assets which then gives you passive or portfolio income. Passive income is income you get from rental properties or money you earn without having to work for it. Portfolio is the kind of income from earn from paper assets as dividends paid to you.

The science of getting rich - getting into the right business

"The various faculties of your mind are the tools with which you must do the work which is to make you rich. So it will be easier for you to succeed if you get into a business for which you are well equipped with mental tools."

We continue in our journey to look at the timeless advice contained in the book "Science of Getting Rich"  by Wallace D. Wattles.

Success in any particular business depends on one thing only: the  faculties required to operate in that business.

The various faculties of your mind are the tools with which you must do the work which is to

make you rich. So it will be easier for you to succeed if you get into a business for which you are well

equipped with mental tools.

You will get rich most easily, in terms of effort, if you do that for which you are best fitted, but you

will get rich most satisfactorily if you do that which you WANT to do.

All other things being equal, it is best to select the business for which you have the best developed

talent, but if you have a strong desire to engage in any particular line of work, you should select that

work as the ultimate end at which you aim.

As you go on in the certain way, opportunities will come to you in increasing numbers, you will

need to be very steady in your faith and purpose, knowing that you have to work hard and that your business will be a success.

Do all that you can do in a perfect manner every day, but do it without haste, worry, or fear. Go as

fast as you can, but never hurry.

Whenever you find yourself hurrying, call a halt. Fix your attention on the mental image of the

thing you want and know that you can achieve it. The exercise of GRATITUDE will never

fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose. Always be grateful for where you are now and also, more importantly for where you will be in the future.

Get into the right business, one that you know about it and that you have the skills to develop it in a way that it can help you to achieve your objectives.
