Wealth isn't about money. All my adult life, people have asked me, "Robert, how did you make money? How did you become wealthy?" And while I want to share that with them-and with you-I also want you to understand that those are two different questions. Yes, of course, money can help you to create wealth. But wealth is far more than a number on your bank statement. So if wealth isn't about money, what exactly is it? Wealth is independence. Real wealth is the ability to live your life on your own terms. It's the freedom to switch careers, spend time with your family, improve your community, and make a difference in the world. Building Wealth will help you not only to reach your own financial goals, but also to attain this level of wealth.
