What Are the Only Seven Ways to Get Rich?

A few days ago, I read an interesting tweet that got my full attention.

Executive Speech Coach, Patricia Fripp, tweeted a message that said "Only 7 ways to get rich."

Instantly, my mind said, "Oh, really, what are they?"

Yep, I was a skeptic, but I had to find out what the seven ways were, so I clicked on the link to find out more.

On her blog she shared information from the resource, "Get Rich Click" by Marc Ostrofsky.

I was amused by the list of seven ways to get rich. Why? Well, I feel that if I had thought long and hard enough, I would have created the same list.

Okay, maybe not the same list. But if I was playing a game of Family Feud, I would have surely given one or two of the right answers to help my team take control of the board.

At any rate, here are the seven ways to get rich according to Ostrofsky:

1. Inherit it
2. Marry it
3. Invest it
4. Win it (i.e. lottery)
5. Work for it (i.e. be an employee)
6. Steal, deal, con, or break the law for it
7. Become an entrepreneur.

It is number seven that I really love on this list.

Having worked for the past eight years as an entrepreneur building my speaking, consulting, and now coaching business, this list gave me confirmation that I am on the right path toward my riches.

What about you? Do you agree with this list? Would you add anything different to this list? Are you, too, living as an entrepreneur? Have you registered for the Life Skills for Entrepreneurs Winter Wonderland Retreat?
