Baffled by the bewildering array of money making opportunities they find in their inboxes and mailboxes, hear from others and on the radio, read in books, ebooks, magazines and newspapers, and see on the Internet and television, I receive questions almost everyday from good, honest, hard working people who are sincerely looking to do better financially... Questions like... Can you really make money in real estate? How about stocks... should I start trading stocks? Should I buy a franchise? Should I get involved in sales? Should I open a business with a physical location? Should I start an online business? What about these multi-level or network marketing deals... can you really make any money in them? What about this business opportunity or that one? The list of questions I receive like these is practically endless. However... They all have one thing in common. Regardless of how it's phrased, the single, most important, underlying question all of these folks are asking me is... What's the #1 best business to get into if I want to get rich? That's their real question, isn't it? Well... Here's the deal... You can get rich in any business. Let me say that again... YOU can get rich in *any* business! Think about it... Bill Gates got rich creating and selling software. Donald Trump got rich buying and developing real estate. J. K. Rowling got rich writing books. Jeff Bezos got rich selling books. Michael Dell got rich building and selling computers. Warren Buffet got rich buying and selling stocks. Wayne Huizenga got rich hauling trash. Bill Gates, Donald Trump, J. K. Rowling, Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell, Warren Buffet and Wayne Huizenga each got rich in a completely *different* business, didn't they? Take a look around you... There are people right in your own community, right now, right this very moment, who are getting rich in every conceivable business, aren't there? So... Since a little thought and observation easily proves you can get rich in any business, the question then turns to one of... What's the #1 best business for *you* to get into if you want to get rich? As a general rule, you'll get rich most easily in a business that uses your strongest abilities, skills or talents whether inborn or developed. In other words... You'll get rich most easily in a business that uses the natural or developed abilities, skills or talents you *already* possess. For example... If you have strong mechanical ability, you'll get rich most easily in a business that makes use of your mechanical ability. If you have strong writing skill, you'll get rich most easily in a business that makes use of your writing skill. If you have strong musical talent, you'll get rich most easily in a business that makes use of your musical talent. However... Nowhere is it written that you're limited only to a business that uses your strongest abilities, skills or talents. Why? Because there isn't an ability, skill or talent that's ever been demonstrated by anyone, anywhere, anytime that you weren't born with at least the basics of and that you can't develop if you want to. Do you think Bill Gates was born knowing how to code software? I doubt it. What about Donald Trump? Do you think he was born with the skills necessary to build a highly successful, multi-billion dollar real estate empire? Of course not. Although each of them may have been born with some natural inclinations conducive to their respective businesses, both of them developed the necessary abilities, skills or talents necessary to get rich in their chosen businesses... and so can you! Question... Since you can get rich in any business, since you can develop the necessary abilities, skills or talents to get rich in any business and since, chances are, you're going to be doing something to earn money anyway... Why not do something you like doing? In his book, "The Science of Getting Rich", Wallace D. Wattles writes: "...you will do best in a business which you like..." There you have it... Plain and simple... The #1 best business to get into if you want to get rich... A business which you like! If it uses your strongest abilities, skills or talents, all the better. If it doesn't, no big deal, you can develop them as you go along. One of the biggest mistakes I see people making, and I see it all the time, is they decide they want to do better financially, they decide they want to get rich, then they start looking for ways to make money without any regard whatsoever to what they like to do or, just as important, what they *don't* like to do. In other words, regardless of how they justify it, they look for a business to get into based purely on the money they think they can make. Big mistake! From my own personal experience I can tell you this... Whenever I've done anything purely for the money, which is exactly what I did the majority of my life, not only was I absolutely miserable in the process but every single time, without exception, I ultimately ended up falling flat on my face... big time! So... If you want to get rich... Here's my advice... Rather than chase after every new "money making opportunity" that comes down the pike, figure out what it is you like to do and then *think* of a way or ways to get rich doing that.
