Most (not all!) of the billionaires, celebrity CEOs and famous entrepreneurs that have come to me for mentoring over the past 3 decades have one thing in common: they are ultra-rich yet happiness poor. It’s just the reality. They are obsessed with success, needy for more and consumed with making their disruptive visions come to life. Nothing else matters for these humans. I help them grow even bigger, better, more inventive companies while showing them proven systems and protocols to slow down, get super healthy, fill their days with more love and handcraft beautiful personal lives. One of the ways I mentor them in achieving this delicate balance include teaching them, in heavyweight detail and with advanced advice, The 8 Forms of Wealth model so that they viscerally understand that money is only one form of wealth. This, then, causes them to pursue the other forms of abundance (wellness, family, service to others for example) leading to far deeper feelings of fulfillment. And significant increases in their sense of freedom. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

What's a great life. So many of us are looking for guidance on is it about family? Is it
about wellness? Is it about meaning? Is it about connecting to our souls purpose? And I
wanted to offer you some ideas. I have a framework. It's called The Eight Forms of
Wealth. It's something I've taught to my top clients for over 20 years. And I've embedded
it into my book, The Wealth of Money Can't Buy. Let me walk you through them. The
first form of wealth is growth. If you are growing and materializing your gifts and your
talents and getting wiser each day, you have a currency money cannot buy. Second form
of wealth is wellness. Health is wealth. And if you don't believe me, just watch what
happens when someone loses their health. Everything is all about getting it back. So
protect your health, your longevity, your sleep, your energy. Third form of wealth is
family. So build a great career. Be a great craftsperson. Push wonderful value into the
marketplace that delights all witnesses and at the same time don't reach the mountaintop
of success completely alone. My life family is such an important source of my joy.
Fourth form of wealth is craft. So no matter what you do, whether you run an empire,
whether you sweep a street, do it with pride. Do it with devotion. See the reverence in
your work. Study your work. Try to make it better each and every day. Fifth form of
wealth is money. Money allows you freedom and the opportunity to do nice things for
people you adore. Sixth form of wealth. That's community. You become your ecosystem.
You become your conversations. Your life looks a lot like the people you surround
yourself with. You want a better life. Surround yourself with higher thinking, greater
performing human beings. The seventh form of wealth is adventure. The human brain
craves novelty. You don't want to get into a rut. You want to try a new way to get to
work. You want to read books that frighten you or delight you want to. Usually you eat
Italian food. Try Vietnamese food for dinner tonight and then the set. The eighth form of
wealth is service. And I think to give your life over to some kind of a cause, to wake up
in the morning and say, here's a mission that I'm on and it's bigger than me is a great
source of joy and psychic wealth. And so if you were to ask me, Robin, what is a rich life
all about? I would say it's those things. There's your framework. or rather, our society
says pursue FFA, fame, fortune and applause. And I think the real game is pursuing JP
joy, peace and freedom. Off the top of my head, I would say if you can slow down and
notice, simple pleasures could be a breeze. It could be a bird song, it could be a beautiful
piece of art in the gallery. That is a great source of meaning. I would say you can deep in
love with your family and with your friends, and deepen relationships with the people
that you work with, your customers. It's a great source of purpose and meaning that will
flood your life with more joy. Kindness is a great way to live a richer life. Just a
conversation with someone who you may not know leaves them better and leaves you
feeling happier. And then I go to work. I just finished my new book. I went to the wall on it. It will be available worldwide in January and I could have mailed it in. I could have read my winning formula. And yet I worked so very hard to apply a new technique and to deepen the characters, and to try a whole new style. That was actually very difficult for me. But
though I'm sort of spent right now cognitively and emotionally and physically and spiritually, because I gave so much to the work, I do feel a great sense of I did it. Hopefully my readers will get great value from it, and that gives me a great deal of satisfaction. So those are some of my ruminations on what makes a rich life, and I hope that they're helpful to you.
