Thoughts on a Sunday afternoon ...

While academics continue to question how our world works, and as many of us struggle to get by, there are Wealth Creators amongst us to continue to turn flow to fortune, making money to give away. - Roger Hamilton in "Your Life Your Legacy"
There is the question again ... what do I want to do with my life? Leave a legacy or making common people struggling? I know, that is an unfair question, but a valid one for me.
Therefore, if I just find my flow, I can make money to give away ... great. That will be a long journey. But I did start it already, and I learned and applied already a lot.
Roger describes in his book the eight Wealth Profiles. As I said, I am a Mechanic. But about this later. These eight states are derived from a famous ancient book - I Ching. This book is the basis for the two chinese central philosophies, Taoism and Confucianism.
In the beginning there was yet no moral or social order. Then came Fu Xi who looked upward and contemplated the images in the heavens, and looked downwards and contemplated the occurrences on earth. He united man and wife, regulated the five stages of change, and laid down the laws of humaninty. He devised the eight trigrams, in order to gain mastery over the world . (From the I Ching)
  • Trigram => Mountain

  • I Ching => Completing

  • Ying/Yang => Mature Yin

  • Wealth Dynamic Profile => Mechanic
This trigram represents the Mountain.

The strengths of a Mechanic are as followed (I absolutely agree with that): Innovative, perfectionist, detail-oriented, completes things well, able to quickly fine-tune, spots inefficiencies in the system, able to simplify and replicate. I would love to present more here, but I don't think I can copy Roger's book here. Hopefully from blog to blog, you will discover what it means to be Mechanic and I might quote his book from time to time. In March I will go to a three-day seminar, the Wealth Flight Experience. Then I will get all this live :o)
If I made you curious about this Wealth Profile thingy, have a look at wealthdynamic.org

Mmm, my creative phase is over ... you will hear from me later!
We must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us - Joseph Campbell
