What’s the Secret to Wealth?
Most people would love a secret solution to wealth and abundance. If there was just one thing you could do that made it so simple. However, life rarely works that way. There’s no get-rich-quick scheme. There is, however, a secret. It’s probably not what you’d expect, and it’s that creating the best version of yourself is how you build wealth.
You are your own secret weapon. By investing in your own skills, knowledge, health, and more, you can create wealth for your family for generations. This requires constant growth because you’ll never know everything. When you recognize this fact and commit to lifelong learning, your life can bloom in many ways.
[4:16] “I talk about it often, where I say you’ve got to moonshot your career. Too many people underestimate their own potential, myself included.”
By committing to yourself and the continued progress of your career, you can maintain and even build energy for what you do. Once you deplete your energy and excitement for something, it’s incredibly difficult to find that energy again. Emmy shares that she sees people take years or decades to get out of this low-energy funk. So you’ve got to follow your energy and nurture it wherever it takes you. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that once you “arrive” at your goal, there’s nothing left for you.
Emmy Sobieski’s Path to Wealth
For Emmy, there was no decision about her career trajectory–things seemed to fall into place naturally. When she was a teenager, she collected aluminum soda cans to recycle them for money. By 16, she had saved up $1,800, and her dad helped her to open her first investment account.
Her dad gave her four companies to choose from, so Emmy chose to invest in United Artists, which was a movie theatre that sold more than just popcorn. This decision helped her to quadruple her money. So her dad gave her four more companies to choose from, and Emmy put her money into a company owned by her dad’s friend. This quadrupled her money again. Emmy’s investments were so successful that she ended up with half a million dollars in her 20s.
In her mid-20s, she lost this money and had to build it back up from scratch. Fortunately, she was successful in that endeavor, too. In 6 months she went from -$30k to $90k, while in grad school. Her friend suggested that people would pay her for that, and in 5 years, Emmy was running the number-one fund in the world.
