You can’t save money or invest money that belongs to someone else. If you earn $3,000 in income this month, but owe $2,000 in loans (before everyday living expenses), you can’t possibly have extra money to save. You must either earn more or sell some items to pay off your debt. You should avoid this “debt trap” if you intend on building wealth for the future.
Another type of debt is one for your business. You may take out a small business loan to get things started or to promote your business. If you are uncertain about whether the business will bring profits, try to avoid business debt until you have tested it a while.
Step 4: Develop a Personal Plan
Above, you developed a business plan. Now it’s time to create a personal plan. What tasks will you do daily to build wealth? Put yourself on a schedule and a strict budget. Work toward your goals daily by making a list of things to do and marking off each item on the list as you complete the tasks.
