It seems that all of us have the
drive and ambition to obtain wealth. Why otherwise would so many
of us literally work uorselvs to death for large corporations
while trying to make a living? If there is one great truth, it
is that very few of us will ever get wealthy working for someone
else. To get wealthy, you simply must have a business of your
own. However, most people lack the foundation of a new enterprise:
capital. With the necessary capital, almost anyone of average
intelligence can become truly wealthy.
The one big secret of becoming wealthy
in any enterprise is to use OPM. OPM is simply other people's
money. Yes, you need other people's money to build a fortune.
The most logical way to obtain other people's money is to borrow
it. Borrowing money has been the key to all really great fortunes
built in this country and around the world. The late Paul Getty
would never have been able to amass more than a billion pounds
without the power to borrow tremendous amounts of capital.
Borrowing OPM must, of course, be
handled correctly. If it is handled poorly or inadvisedly the
old adage "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" would
be a better course to take. When used wisely, however, funds borrowed
can be the gateway to a better lifestyle made possible by investments
and their resulting earnings. Used properly, constructive borrowing
can help give you a better home, a new car, fabulous holidays
and a vast array of other luxuries. But remember, these advantages
must come from the earnings made by your borrowed OPM, not from
the loan money itself. And the earnings must also provide interest
payments on your loans.
