Robin Sharma’s book, The Wealth Money Can’t Buy (https://creativeaspirant.com/the-wealth-money-cant-buy-summary-robin-sharma/) , challenges traditional notions of success by introducing eight pillars of a rich and fulfilling life. It goes beyond financial prosperity to encompass emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
When I read this wonderful book, I realized how little I knew about life. I was willing to write a summary as soon as possible for readers who wanted to take advantage of its content. It is truly an uplifting book about the path of human existence.
Some readers may think that it’s a long summary or a stop in between. However, I hoped the reader would benefit from it and gain valuable perspectives on prioritizing meaningful experiences over material wealth.
So, let’s understand the 8 forms of wealth through Robin Sharma’s wonderful book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy and transform our lives for the betterment of ourselves and our loved ones.
In this episode, we're diving deep into Sharma's radical proposition that true wealth isn't measured by your stock portfolio or the number of zeros in your bank account, but by something far more subversive: actual human connection, personal growth, and living a life that doesn't require a spreadsheet to validate its worth.
Join me as I break down Sharma's insights with my trademark blend of sardonic commentary and genuine curiosity. We'll explore why working 80-hour weeks to afford a Tesla might just be the most expensive way to avoid meaningful relationships, and how investing in experiences, personal development, and authentic connections could be the real cryptocurrency of human existence.
Prepare for an intellectual rollercoaster that's part self-help, part cultural critique, and entirely unhinged in the most delightful way possible. Because sometimes, the most revolutionary act is realizing that your worth isn't determined by your net worth.

welcome back everybody today we're uh we're diving into something a little different oh yeah the concept of wealth
0:08
but not just like you know money in the bank yeah yeah yeah we're going deeper I like we're using Robin sharma's the
0:14
wealth money Camp bu okay as our guide and we're going to unpack his eight
0:20
forms of wealth eight eight forms but we're going to really zero in you know
0:26
on those like helpful tips and advice that you can actually use in your life awesome so get ready for some uh some
0:33
surprising connections so basically you have to work on yourself before you can see real change in your life makes sense
0:39
and he uses this really great analogy of a child fixing a torn Globe the kid just
0:45
focuses on putting the person you know on the globe back together okay and by
0:50
doing that they fix the whole world oh that's cool it's a powerful visual right yeah it makes you think about how
0:56
focusing on self-improvement can really improve every area of your life it's true so how do we actually achieve this
1:04
inner growth well he talks about the Pam principle Pam yeah what is that it's basically recognizing all the forces
1:11
that shape us as people okay our parents environment our nation the people we associate with and the media we consume
1:18
so it's like taking stock of Your Inner Circle yes exactly but on a much bigger scale right it's not just about making
1:24
good choices but also about being aware of these influences so then how do we actually you know combat those negative
1:30
influences and find more positive ones well Sharm is a big fan of simple but powerful practices like reading okay
1:37
exposing yourself to new ideas right journaling helps you process your thoughts oh yeah your experiences it's
1:44
like a therapy session that's a good way to put it on paper but it can't be all self-improvement can it well no that's
1:50
what charma says okay good he's like personal growth shouldn't be a grind right it's about enjoying the journey
1:56
yes not just checking things off a list Okay so we've covered growth what's next
2:01
all right next up is Wellness okay this one might seem obvious okay but it's
2:08
worth emphasizing right if you don't feel good yeah all the money in the world won't make you happy that's so
2:14
true you can't enjoy anything if you're not healthy exactly so does Sharma offer any specific tips or is it just the
2:21
usual like eat your vegetables oh he goes way beyond that okay he talks about food as medicine things like blueberries
2:29
apples M salmon green tea those all sound good right but he also emphasizes
2:35
walking in nature okay to reduce stress boost your mood I like that plus He suggests a 30-day Sugar Detox ooh that
2:43
sounds intense yeah but it could be a GameChanger I can see that right so it's not about being perfect no it's about
2:50
making small consistent steps exactly and here's where it gets interesting okay Sharma links health and finances he
2:57
does yeah he argues that investing in your well-being can actually fuel your
3:03
financial success oh wow think about it better health equals more energy more
3:08
productivity makes sense and that could mean you know a bigger paycheck Right Down the Line I like it it's like all
3:14
these
3:20
wealthsource of the puzzle all right the next form of wealth is family okay this
3:25
was close to my heart yeah Sharma stresses how important those close relationships are MH he says strong
3:31
family bonds are worth more than any possession absolutely at the end of the day it's the connections we make with
3:37
others that really matter for sure so what are some of Sha's key takeaways for
3:42
building that kind of wealth well he uses This brilliant analogy called The Love account okay the love account yeah
3:48
it's about making those small daily deposits of joy into the lives of your loved ones okay it's not about grand
3:55
gestures right it's the little things like leaving a surprise note or actively listening without interrupting right
4:03
those small acts over time build a strong Foundation of love and support
4:08
that makes me think about my mom you know she always used to make my favorite meal when I was feeling down it wasn't
4:14
much but it always made me feels so loved and cared for that's so sweet so
4:19
it's those little acts of ESS that add up exactly and he even tells a story about his own mom bringing him fresh Min
4:25
for his tea ah it's a simple gesture but speaks volume volumes that's nice and
4:31
speaking of connections okay Sharma has this three great friend rule what's that
4:36
he says if you have three truly close friends you're already richer than you
4:41
think I like that yeah old friends are Priceless they are but relationships aren't always easy right true we all
4:47
have those friends who sometimes drive us crazy well that's where sharma's emphasis on boundaries comes in okay
4:53
it's not about being a pushover healthy relationships require honesty respect
4:58
and being assertive right so it's about knowing your worth yes making sure your needs are met but also being respectful
5:04
of the other person exactly and while speaking up is important Sharma reminds
5:09
us that listening is equally crucial oh yeah for sure he criticizes our tendency
5:15
to constantly broadcast ourselves on social media I'm guilty of that y all are it's like we're all so busy talking
5:21
about ourselves that we've forgotten how to listen right it's a skill we need to cultivate absolutely it's a gift you
5:27
give to others and a way to enrich your own life Okay so we've got personal growth we've
5:32
got Wellness we've got strong relationships what's next on sharma's wealth building agenda this one focuses
5:39
on our workcraft okay he believes that finding meaning and purpose in what you
5:44
do is essential for a rich life I love that idea it's about being so good at
5:50
your work that it becomes an art form but what if you're not exactly you know passionate about your current job can
5:57
you still find that sense of craft even even if it's not your dream career well charmet tells this great story about
6:03
Steve Jobs okay insisting that the inside of the original Macintosh computer be beautifully designed really
6:10
even though no one would see it Wow and his reasoning I'm curious he said we will that's awesome it highlights that
6:16
true craftsmanship is about pride in your work regardless of external validation so it's about doing things
6:22
well for your own satisfaction yes not just for the Applause exactly so how do we apply that to Everyday Life well
6:29
Karma has this interesting exercise okay create a stop doing list a stop doing list yeah identify those tasks or
6:36
activities or even thoughts that drain your energy and distract you from your core purpose so it's like decluttering
6:42
your work life to make space for those things that actually bring you Joy exactly by saying no you make space for
6:49
what truly matters that makes a lot of sense right yeah this is a gold mine of practical advice good I'm glad what else
6:55
is on sharma's list this one might seem obvious but Sharma encourages us to see
7:01
it in a new light okay money the elephant in the room right but it's not
7:06
about chasing riches is it no he stresses that money is a tool for Freedom not the end goal so how does
7:14
Sharma suggest we approach money in a healthy way he's not saying we should reject money altogether okay security
7:20
and freedom are important right but he cautions against becoming obsessed with wealth it's easy to fall into that trap
7:27
though right it is we're bombarded with messages about needing more buying more achieving more it's hard to escape that
7:33
mentality it is so how do we develop a healthier mindset around money well he offers some really intriguing tips okay
7:40
I'm listen one is to visit places associated with wealth what like art galleries yeah like art galleries luxury
7:47
hotels even affluent neighborhoods really he says it helps you visualize and internalize the feeling of
7:54
prosperity H that's interesting it's not about feeling envious right it's more
8:00
about expanding your perception of what's possible okay and getting comfortable the idea of wealth I can see
8:05
how that would be helpful yeah if you're constantly surrounded by you know messages of lack and limitation right
8:12
it's hard to imagine a different reality for yourself exactly he also emphasizes the power of language right like
8:19
replacing negative or scarcity minded phrases with more positive and abundant ones yes instead of saying I can't
8:25
afford that right try saying I'm choosing to invest my money elsewhere right now it's about reframing your
8:32
thoughts and beliefs around money exactly it's like you're speaking your desired reality into existence he calls
8:38
them wealthy words wealthy words I like that it's about shifting your internal dialogue to one of abundance and
8:45
possibility it all comes back to that personal growth it does our thoughts and beliefs really do shape our reality for
8:52
sure so if we want to create more Abundant Life we need to start by changing the way we think and talk about
8:58
money I agree so Sharma is all about cultivating a healthy relationship with money seeing it as a tool for freedom
9:05
and a means to achieve your goals but not letting it become your sole Focus right I'm really digging this
9:12
multifaceted approach to wealth me too where do we go from here next up is community okay Shera believes that
9:19
building a supportive network of positive people is vital for personal growth I'm a huge believer in that it's
9:25
about surrounding yourself with those who Inspire and challenge you the people we spend time with really do shape our
9:30
thoughts our beliefs even our behaviors they do so what are sharma's key insights for cultivating a thriving
9:37
Community well he's big on keeping your promises okay it seems simple but it builds trust and strengthens those bonds
9:44
right he also suggests forming a mastermind Alliance a mastermind Alliance yeah a group of like-minded
9:50
people who meet regularly to share ideas and support each other oh okay so like a
9:55
personal Board of advisers exactly helping each other overcome challenges and Achieve bigger goals I like that and
10:02
what I find fascinating is this emphasis on giving back M he encourages being a a
10:08
major Gift Giver contributing to your community rather than just taking from it yes he even talks about this concept
10:16
called The Law of the vanish loved one wow it's a reminder that our time with
10:21
loved ones is precious right we should cherish every moment be present in our interactions and express our love and
10:27
appreciation freely it's like a wakeup call to appreciate what we have while we
10:33
have it exactly and not to take those relationships for granted and sha doesn't just talk about family and close
10:38
friends right he emphasizes the importance of building a broader Community being kind to everyone you
10:45
encounter right and making a positive impact wherever you go but that that idea of paying it forward yeah small
10:51
acts of kindness can have a ripple effect Okay so we've covered personal growth Wellness family craft money and
10:58
now Community mhm I'm sensing a theme Here what that it's not about
11:04
accumulating stuff it's about building those strong supportive connections both with ourselves and with the world around
11:11
us I love that what's next on sharma's list this one's all about breaking free from routine and embracing the unknown
11:18
Adventure ooh I'm all about shaking things up Sharma believes that experiencing new things whether it's
11:24
through travel or creative Pursuits or just stepping outside your comfort zone is crucial for a fulfilling life I agree
11:31
but sometimes it's hard to break out of that routine it can be so how does charma suggest we inject more Adventure
11:37
into our lives he's a big advocate for travel both physical and through Reading okay he also encourages taking digital
11:43
sabatical digital sabatical what are those disconnecting from technology oh
11:49
to immerse yourself in the present moment he believes in slowing down savoring life's little details and
11:54
approaching each day with a sense of wonder okay almost like a child experiencing things for the first time
12:01
it's like hitting the reset button rediscovering that sense of awe and appreciation that we often lose as
12:07
adults right I'm already feeling inspired to book a trip somewhere new he also has this more radical suggestion oh
12:13
go ghost for a year what essentially it involves taking a year-long break from
12:19
social activities and commitments wow that sounds intense it is it's about
12:25
withdrawing from the world to focus on self-discovery okay so almost like a modern-day
12:30
hermit yeah kind of but in today's hyperconnected world I can see the appeal right but how do you find that
12:36
balance between Solitude and connection that's a great question and it's something Sharma addresses okay good he
12:43
emphasizes that it's not about completely shutting yourself off from the world right it's more about creating
12:49
intentional space for reflection and personal growth okay and it doesn't have to be a whole year even short periods of
12:55
disconnection like a weekend retreat or a digital detox can have a powerful impact so it's about finding what works
13:02
for you exactly customizing that adventure to fit your own needs and lifestyle I'm definitely going to be
13:08
thinking more about that go ghost concept that's a good one what's the final form of wealth on sharma's list
13:14
the final and perhaps most profound form of wealth is service service Sharma
13:20
believes that true wealth comes not from what you accumulate but from using your gifts and resources to make a positive
13:27
impact on the world that's beautiful it's it's about shifting from a me Focus to a we focus exactly but honestly
13:34
sometimes it's hard to see how our individual actions can make a real difference hear that in the grand scheme
13:40
of things so how do we cultivate the sense of service in a way that feels meaningful and impactful well he shares
13:45
a thought-provoking story about Alexander the Great Alexander the Great okay on his deathbed Alexander made
13:51
three wishes three wishes he wanted his Physicians to carry his coffin the path to his grave strewn with riches and His
13:59
Hands left dangling outside the coffin what an unusual set of requests right
14:04
what was the meaning behind those well the first wish was to show that even the best doctors can't cheat death oh wow
14:12
the second that you can't take wealth with you right and the third that we enter and leave this world empty-handed
14:18
wow that's powerful it really puts things into perspective and that's what charm is getting at it's not about worldly possessions or achievements it's
14:25
about something much deeper okay he then emphasizes the importance of kindness okay arguing that being good to others
14:32
is not only morally right but also a key to a truly wealthy life it's about
14:38
recognizing that interconnectedness we're all part of something bigger than ourselves yes but it doesn't have to be
14:44
about grand gestures does it no Sharma uses the phrase apply kindness apply
14:49
kindness to highlight that it should be an intentional daily practice it's about those seemingly small acts holding the
14:56
door open offering a genuine compliment truly listening to a friend in need it's
15:02
those little things that can make the biggest difference they can and they have a ripple effect inspiring others to
15:07
do the same he also talks about Legacy right he does reminding us that we all leave one behind whether we're conscious
15:13
of it or not mhm he challenges us to ask ourselves what do I want to be remembered for it's a good question it
15:20
really is it forces you to think about your values and your impact on the world for sure it's a reminder that true
15:26
wealth is about the positive difference we make in the lives of others right it's not about what we accumulate but
15:32
what we contribute yeah exactly wow okay so we've explored all eight forms of wealth that charma lays out we did
15:39
growth Wellness family craft money Community adventure and service yeah it's been an eye openening Journey it
15:45
has I'm curious out of all of these which one resonates most with you right now oh that's a good question it's hard
15:52
to choose just one but right now Community feels especially significant I've been thinking a lot about the
15:59
people in my life and how much they contribute to my wellbeing it's made me want to be more present and supportive
16:06
in their lives to be a better friend family member and colleague it's about showing up for those who matter most it
16:12
is and recognizing that Community is a two-way street you give but you also receive exactly I've been feeling a
16:18
similar pull toward Community but with an added dose of adventure oh yeah yeah I've been stuck in a rut lately okay and
16:25
I'm craving new experiences I hear that I'm thinking thinking about maybe taking a trip or trying a new hobby something
16:33
to shake things up I like it what about you put like you I'm feeling that pulled
16:39
towards Adventure as well yeah but I also find myself drawn to the idea of service okay I want to be more
16:45
intentional about using my skills and resources to make a positive impact on my community that's awesome it's
16:52
interesting how these forms of wealth all seem to like feed into each other like you can't really have a thriving Community without personal growth right
17:00
so true and seeking Adventure can lead to incredible personal growth absolutely it's like they're all interconnected
17:06
pieces of a larger puzzle yeah but when you mentioned wanting to make a bigger impact through
17:13
service what kind of things come to mind well for me it's about finding ways to use my skills and passions to give back
17:20
to my community okay maybe it's volunteering at a local organization or mentoring someone or even just being
17:26
more mindful of how my everyday action impact others it's like that idea of living your values right exactly but
17:33
it's not just about grand gestures it's about those small consistent choices that reflect what you believe in and I
17:39
think a lot of that comes back to shera's emphasis on kindness oh yeah he doesn't just talk about it abstractly he
17:45
gives you practical ways to apply kindness in your daily life he actually suggests keeping a kindness Journal oh
17:52
wow where you track those acts of kindness both given and received that's a cool idea I've heard of gratitude
17:58
journals but a kindness Journal is a new one for me it's about making kindness a conscious practice something you
18:04
actively cultivate okay rather than something that just happens randomly I can see how that would shift your
18:10
perspective you'd start to notice those opportunities for kindness that you might otherwise Miss exactly and that's
18:15
what Sharma is all about those small shifts in perspective that can lead to big changes in your life right remember
18:21
that ghost ghost for a year concept we talked about earlier oh yeah that's another example of a radical shift in
18:27
perspective it's about stepping back from the world to reconnect with yourself to really examine what matters
18:34
most ex it can be for a year a month a weekend even just a few hours of
18:40
intentional solitude it's about creating that space for reflection and self-discovery sha talks about how in
18:47
our hyperconnected world we're constantly bombarded with information and stimulation right it's easy to lose
18:54
touch with our inner voice our intuition our true selves it's like we're all so busy doing that we forget to just be and
19:01
that's where those digital sabatical come in Sharma is a big advocate for disconnecting from technology even for
19:07
short periods of time okay it allows you to be more present to savor the moment to appreciate the simple things I've
19:13
tried those mini digital detoxes and it's amazing how much more present I feel when I'm not constantly checking my
19:19
phone or scrolling through social media it it's like a mental cleanse it is but going back to service yeah it's not just
19:26
about being kind to others it's also about using our unique skills and talents to make a difference right
19:32
absolutely Sharma encourages us to think about our craft okay that thing we're
19:37
good at that brings us joy and find ways to use it to contribute to something larger than ourselves so it's about
19:45
finding that sweet spot where your passions and skills intersect with a real need in the world yes and it
19:51
doesn't have to be about saving the world it can be about making a difference in your own Community your own neighborhood even just your own
19:58
family exactly it's about recognizing that we all have something to offer and that by sharing our gifts we create a
20:05
ripple effect of positivity I love that he uses this phrase make memories not
20:10
just money oh that's a good one right it's so easy to get caught up in the pursuit of material wealth that we
20:16
forget about the things that truly matter yeah experiences connections making a difference and sometimes those
20:22
experiences are right in front of us yeah Sharma encourages us to slow down
20:27
and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us okay He suggests practicing mindfulness in everyday activities like
20:34
eating more slowly oh okay walking more deliberately really listening to the people we're speaking with it's like
20:40
shifting from autopilot to being fully present in each moment exactly I can see how that would make even ordinary
20:47
activities feel more meaningful he even suggests keeping a gratitude Journal oh yeah writing down three things you're
20:53
grateful for each day such a simple practice but it can have a profound impact on your outlook it can it's about
20:59
focusing on what you have not what you lack and that shift in perspective can make all the difference absolutely so
21:04
we've talked about service Adventure community and even touched on wellness and craft again it's amazing how all
21:10
these forms of wealth are interconnected they are but I'm realizing we haven't really dived into money oh that's true
21:17
in as much detail as some of the others yeah we touched on the importance of a healthy mindset around money right but
21:23
we didn't really explore some of the Practical advice Sharma offers let's Circle back to that remember you
21:28
mentioning something about visiting places associated with wealth yes can you elaborate on that sure Sharma
21:35
suggests regularly visiting places like art galleries luxury hotels okay or even
21:41
affluent neighborhoods he argues that it helps you visualize and internalize the feeling of prosperity that's interesting
21:47
it's like you're immersing yourself in an environment of abundance yeah which can help shift your mindset from
21:53
scarcity to possibility exactly and it's not about feeling envious or wanting to acquire those things for yourself it's
22:00
more about expanding your perception of what's possible and getting comfortable with the idea of wealth I can see how
22:06
that would be helpful if you're constantly surrounded by messages of lack and limitation it's hard to imagine
22:12
a different reality for yourself he also emphasizes the power of language oh yeah
22:17
He suggests replacing negative or scarcity minded phrases with more positive and abundant ones like what for
22:25
example instead of saying I can't afford that okay try saying I'm choosing to
22:31
invest my money elsewhere right now it's about reframing your thoughts and beliefs around money exactly it's like
22:37
you're speaking your desired reality into existence he calls them wealthy words wealthy words it's about shifting
22:44
your internal dialogue to one of abundance and possibility and it ties
22:49
back to that idea of personal growth yes our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality so if we want to create a more
22:55
Abundant Life we need to start by changing the way we think can talk about money I agree this deep dive is really
23:01
making me rethink my whole definition of wealth me too it's not just about the numbers in your bank account it's about
23:07
cultivating a rich and fulfilling life across all these different dimensions and the beautiful thing is it's a
23:12
journey not a destination so true there's always room for growth and expansion in each of
23:17
these areas I'm curious what are some of the things you're personally doing to cultivate these forms of wealth in your
23:23
own life well I've been making a conscious effort to prioritize my well-being okay I've started taking
23:29
daily walks in nature which has been incredibly grounding and rejuvenating nice I'm also trying to be more mindful
23:36
of the food I eat and to incorporate more of those food as medicine choices that Sharma talks about I've been trying
23:42
to do the same I've also been focusing on strengthening my relationships with my loved ones just spending more quality
23:48
time together really listening to them and making those little love account deposits that Sharma talks about it's
23:55
amazing how much those small gestures can impact your relationships I've also
24:00
been trying to be more present in my interactions with people putting my phone away really listening to what they
24:06
have to say and just being more engaged in the moment it's like you're giving them the gift of your undivided
24:12
attention which is so rare these days exactly and it's a gift to yourself as well it helps you cultivate that sense
24:19
of presence and mindfulness that Sharma talks about Okay so we've got wellness and family covered mhm what about some
24:25
of those other forms of wealth yeah are you doing anything to cultivate craft Community or Adventure in your life well
24:33
on the craft front I've been exploring some new creative Outlets oh cool I've always loved writing so I've started
24:39
journaling more regularly and even dabbling in some poetry that's awesome it's so important to nurture those
24:45
creative passions it's not just about being productive it's about feeding your soul and speaking of feeding your soul
24:51
I've also been making an effort to connect with like-minded people and build a stronger sense of community okay I recently joined a book club which is
24:58
has been a great way to meet new people who share my love of reading I love that Community can be such a powerful source
25:04
of support inspiration and growth it's about finding your tribe those people
25:09
who get you and who you can be yourself around and in terms of Adventure I'm planning a solo backpacking trip later
25:16
this year wow I've always wanted to challenge myself physically and mentally and I think this will be the perfect
25:22
opportunity to do that that sounds amazing I'm a little jealous to be honest you should come I've been
25:28
thinking thinking about doing something similar myself maybe we should compare notes and plan a trip together sometime
25:33
I would love that it's always more fun to share adventures with a friend Okay so we've talked about all eight forms of wealth and it's clear that you're
25:40
actively cultivating them in your own life I'm feeling incredibly inspired I'm
25:46
glad but before we wrap up this deep dive I want to go back to something Sharma said about money that really
25:52
stuck with me okay he talks about the importance of taking a scarcity inventory yes can you remind me what
25:59
that is and why it's so important sure a scarcity inventory is essentially an
26:04
exercise where you write down all the things you feel you lack in your life especially when it comes to money it's
26:09
about confronting those fears and limiting beliefs that might be holding you back from achieving your financial
26:15
goals so it's about bringing those hidden beliefs to the surface so you can start to challenge and change them
26:21
exactly it's like shining a light on those shadowy corners of your mind where scarcity and fear reside oh I like that
26:28
once you see them clearly you can start to dismantle them and replace them with more empowering beliefs I'm definitely
26:34
going to try that exercise myself it's so easy to let those limiting beliefs operate in the background without even
26:41
realizing it and often those beliefs are based on past experiences or messages we
26:46
received growing up right by consciously identifying and challenging them we can break free from those old patterns and
26:52
create a more abundant future for ourselves Okay so we've talked about taking a scarcity inventory what are
26:58
some other practical tips Sharma offers for cultivating a healthy relationship with money he talks about the importance
27:04
of setting clear financial goals and creating a budget that aligns with those goals so it's not just about wishing for
27:10
more money it's about having a plan and taking action exactly and it's about tracking your spending being mindful of
27:18
where your money is going and making conscious choices about how you want to use it he also emphasizes the importance
27:23
of investing in your financial education he does he encourages people to read books take courses and seek out mentors
27:30

27:36
empowering yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to create Financial Security and freedom and it's not just
27:42
about accumulating wealth for yourself it's about using your financial resources to make a positive impact on
27:48
the world right he encourages people to think about their values and to align their financial decisions with those
27:54
values okay for example if you're passionate about environmental sustainability you might choose to invest in companies that are committed
28:01
to eco-friendly practices or if you're passionate about social justice you might choose to donate to organizations
28:06
that are working to create a more Equitable World exactly it's about using your money as a Force for good not just
28:13
for personal gain Okay so we've covered a lot of ground in this deep dive into the eight forms of wealth we've talked
28:20
about personal growth Wellness family craft money Community adventure and
28:25
service and we've explored some of the practical steps we can take to cultivate these forms of wealth in our own lives
28:31
it's been an incredibly rich and insightful conversation I completely agree and I hope our listeners are
28:36
feeling as inspired and empowered as I am but before we wrap up I want to offer
28:41
one final thought please do I think what I'm taking away from this is that it's so empowering to realize that we have
28:48
the power mhm to shape our own definition of wealth absolutely it's not something that's just handed to us it's
28:55
something we actively cultivate yes through choices and actions that's the beauty of charma's framework the to in
29:01
the driver's seat yeah and it's not about waiting for something to happen it's about making it happen and it's
29:06
about recognizing that true wealth is multifaceted right it's not just about
29:11
one area of your life it's about creating a sense of abundance across all these different dimensions yeah personal
29:18
growth Wellness relationships work money Community Adventure service he even uses
29:23
this great visual a wheel with each form of we
29:28
as a Spoke I like that the idea is that when all the spokes are strong and balanced the real rolls smoothly right
29:36
but if one spoke is weak or missing the whole wheel wobbles that makes sense so
29:41
let's say you're feeling inspired okay and you want to start cultivating these forms of wealth in your own life yeah
29:47
where do you even begin well Sharma emphasizes the importance of small consistent actions okay it's not about
29:54
making drastic changes overnight right it's about those daily choic es that over time create a ripple effect so it's
30:01
about building those wealth building habits exactly just like you would build any other habit and one of the simplest
30:06
yet most powerful things you can do is to start a gratitude practice oh yeah take a few minutes each day to reflect
30:13
on the things you're grateful for it's about shifting your focus from what's missing to what you already have yes and
30:21
that shift in perspective can make all the difference he also talks about the importance of setting clear intentions
30:28
oh yeah for sure what do you want to create in your life right what kind of wealth do you want to cultivate it's
30:33
about getting specific and defining what success looks like for you yeah and it's not just about setting goals it's about
30:40
taking action towards those goals even if it's just one small step each day right and don't be afraid to ask for
30:46
support yes connect with like-minded people who can offer encouragement accountability and inspiration like
30:53
sharma's Mastermind Alliance exactly it's about finding those people people who are on a similar journey and who can
31:00
help you stay motivated and on track it's like having a built-in support system yeah a team of cheerleaders who
31:06
are rooting for your success and it's not just about receiving support right it's also about giving back and
31:12
supporting others that's where that service aspect comes in it's about using your unique gifts and talents to make a
31:19
positive impact on the world around you and it doesn't have to be about grand gestures or saving the world right it
31:25
can be about those small acts of kindness that we talked about earlier yeah holding the door open for someone
31:31
offering a genuine compliment right volunteering your time at a local charity those seemingly small actions
31:37
can actually make a huge difference and they create a ripple effect yes inspiring others to do the same remember
31:44
charma quote apply kindness make it a conscious practice and remember true
31:49
wealth is about so much more than just money it really is it's about living a life that feels Rich meaningful and
31:56
