12 untold Secrets that the Wealthy Elite hide
You exist within a society that was well and truly tailor-made by the rich for the rich, in their own interests and benefits. From the forms of media you are being exposed to, to various forms of advice and guiding you are surrounded with—all have been arranged in order to keep you trapped into the never-ending process of fighting and competing against one another while the elites would ever move into higher and newer horizons.
Now is time to move the curtain of reality aside and let your gaze fall upon the ugly scenarios that those elites would desperately want you to be at least aware of. Open your minds, for information follows hand-to-hand that might shake and rupture every belief and myth—false for sure—that your life had been built by the misleading notion in your life.
The first secret that is usually ignored is that hard work alone will not get you to the wealth you seek to achieve. Yes, society will generally peddle the notion that you need to hustle and grind until your dying breath, but deep down, they know a far more profound truth: the way to wealth lies not in how much personal labor you can inject but in how you leverage other resources.
So while you strain every muscle in your body with long hours and overtime shifts, those who really made it are using other people’s time, money, and expertise to build their own empires.
First, they wish to instill in you a belief system that money is bad in and of itself. Associate with wealth negative attributes: greed and corruption. The more negative things that you associate with wealth, the less you will want to pursue it without experiencing feelings of guilt or shame. In contrast, money, in and of itself, is but a means; albeit a very potent means—with which you can do enormous good, if you begin to use it wisely and with intention.
Third, savings won’t make you rich. They sell the “save and invest in a mutual fund” story, but they don’t do it themselves. They take bets on high-risk, high-reward ventures in the form of startups, real estate, stocks, and businesses that multiply their wealth exponentially.
Fourth, it is necessary to realize the fact that the school system is a trap. The money provided to the education systems is mainly aimed at producing compliant workers, not critical thinkers or risk-takers. In such a system, students are taught to work for their money while the elites are taught the science of having their money work hard for them.
Fifth, tax laws are written for the wealthy. They know the loopholes, the incentives, and the strategies to legally avoid taxes, while you’re stuck paying a significant chunk of your income. Wealthy people own assets, not salaries, and assets are taxed differently.
Sixth, realize that debt can be a powerful weapon in the financial arsenal—but only if you know how to use it. The common mythos around debt is fear-mongering; on the other hand, those who are wealthy know exactly how to harness it, creating even more wealth and prosperity. They use OPM—other people’s money—wisely by investing in good assets that generate positive cash flow so that they can easily pay back the debt at their convenience and without much stress.
Seventh, your consumerism pays for their lifestyle. Every time you spend money on a new gadget, a trendy pair of clothes, or an overpriced cup of coffee, you are directly putting money into their pockets. Meanwhile, they are investing in assets that appreciate in value over time.
Eighth, it is important to recognize that connections and relationships matter far more than talent alone. The truth is, they do not want you to realize the fact that having access to the right people in influential positions will open far more doors and create many more opportunities than any degree or specialized skill set ever could. They go to great lengths to build exclusive networks that not only help to perpetuate their existing wealth but also to keep those who are not part of their circle at a distance.
Ninth, time is their greatest asset. They do not waste it on distractions or meaningless tasks. They hire people to do what they can’t or won’t do, freeing up their time to focus on wealth-building strategies.
Tenth, the stock market is rigged in their favor. While you’re hoping your portfolio grows steadily, they have insider information, access to high-frequency trading, and the capital to manipulate markets to their advantage.
Eleventh, failure is their greatest teacher. They embrace setbacks as learning experiences and take calculated risks without fear. You’ve been taught to play it safe, but the rich know that big rewards require bold moves.
They eventually thrive and grow rich off your ignorance. The less you know about such vital subjects as financial literacy, smart investing, and how business works, the easier it becomes for them to profit from your hard work, the hours you put in, and your spending habits in order to amass wealth and grow their own financial well-being.
