Wealth versus Passion

by Healthy Wealthy nWise

Wealth consultant Roger Hamilton is a leading expert in Asia. After making millions by the time he was 30 years old, he created the Wealth Dynamics Profiling System and wrote the international bestseller, "Wink and Grow Rich".

XL Results Foundation, co-founded and chaired by Roger Hamilton, is the largest entrepreneur network in Asia Pacific. It publishes the magazine "XL Magazine" which happens to be the very first of its kind in the world, because it is dedicated to social enterprise.

Roger encourages people to learn from their mistakes, and rightly so, because he has made many of them. He has made and lost millions of dollars in his young life. Today he enjoys building new businesses in Asia as a sort of serial entrepreneur. His first was launched during the Asian Crisis of 1997.

Wealth isn't everything to Roger. Passion is what drives him. Passion is that little voice in your head that makes you want to jump out of bed rather than hitting the snooze button. Getting started on the day ahead is so much more rewarding when you're doing something you truly enjoy whether it makes you rich or not.

Roger has his own way of looking at wealth vs. passion. Wealth isn't money. It's not what you have. Wealth is what's left over after you lose your fortunes. When your passion is money, you have nothing after you've lost the money. When your passion is something else, that something can help you build wealth once again.

Life is full of decisions. Roger found out how to make tough decisions while attending Cambridge University. Although his academic major was architecture, he got great enjoyment from participating on the rowing team. His friends were also important to him. They wanted him to spend his spare time at a job so he could afford a trip to Greece with them.

Sometimes to solve the riddle of several decisions at once, you need to turn them into a single question and answer. It's what Roger Hamilton does. We combine tasks at home or work. We even listen to educational audios while driving in the car. Why not combine all of the important aspects of our lives?

Roger's dilemma was filling his architectural portfolio, making money, and keeping up with rowing team practices at the same time. He decided to start making drawings of famous buildings. Those drawings filled his portfolio, copies of them were sold for money, and that left him plenty of free time for the rowing team. It was a winning combination!
