It is the dawning of a new day, and the new World Cup winner has been exalted to the world: Espana! Congratulations to them, for not only are they World champions but European champions; quite an accomplishment by any means!

I mention this because many times when we watch athletes and performers we forget about the ‘business’ aspect of their field. FIFA is the governing body of football but it is also a business; the same as the Olympics, which is why countries clamour to be representatives of these types of Games.  They generate business for the host country, via tourism, construction marketing, and other industries.  Without the element of ‘business’ there is no real income, no revenue, no money, just ‘show’ and to ‘show’ cost money.

So in continuing the Becoming Financially Savvy ‘Wealth Creation’ series, today’s focus is ‘Business’.

“Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.”
Henry R. Luce

There are so many types of business to start-up in but ultimately, as with anything, it is about starting. Robert Kiyosaki, author to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, believes that if you want to create wealth, and increase your cashflow, you don’t change jobs but change quadrants. That being from the E (Employee) and/or S (Self Employed/Specialist) quadrant to the B (Business owner) and/or I (Investor) quadrant.  For further information on this read my blog post – Cashflow Quadrant.

This idea is reinforced by the fact that everyone on TheTimes Rich List are all business owners rather than employees or self-employed individuals. Thus, the point here is that business is a vehicle to getting out of the rat race, working for yourself, within a team of other like minded individuals, in order to create wealth. Like anything worth having, it is not easy but a rewarding path to take. I touch on this in my post the Rise of the Entrepreneurial Nation.

In the attached audio I interview the experienced Mr Ryan Pinnick on starting your own business and the outlook of business in the UK today.
