The 12 Commandments of Wealth

April 7th, 2009 by Donald Wickham

The following is from this month’s Reader’s Digest.  (Yes, I read it and not just the comics and jokes.)   The list is taken from “The Richest Man in Town” by W. Randall Jones.

  1. Seek money for money’s sake and ye shall not find.
  2. Find your perfect pitch.  (Know your strengths and weaknesses.)
  3. Be your own boss.
  4. Get addicted to ambition.
  5. Wake up early.  Be early.
  6. Don’t set goals–execute or get executed.
  7. Fail so you can succeed.
  8. Location doesn’t matter.  Success can take place anywhere.
  9. Moor yourself to morals.
  10. Say yes to sales.
  11. Borrow from the best–and the worst.
  12. Never retire.

Several of these resonate with me. 

  • To make sure any business or enterprise I am involved with is operating with the highest integrity and for the benefit of others. 
  • To not let mistakes or failures take the wind out of my sails.
  • To do what I am.
  • To learn from others.  Why find the same land mines that others have already learned from.
