Money is not wealth. There's nothing backing it. There's no real reason we should believe in it. The only reason we do is because of the message it carries and the faith that it creates. But the reality is that wealth, money is not wealth, and wealth is not money. Wealth is the ability to create value for someone other than yourself. People ask me, myron, how do you create wealth? What would you do if you had to create wealth from scratch? I'd find a large group of people with a very big problem that they both have the willingness and the ability to pay for getting it solved. I would create a solution that is elegant and obvious. I would present that offer to those people, and I would be rich in almost no time. That's how you create wealth. Not by just collecting a lot of money, but by creating value for someone other than yourself.
