“You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary.”

Last month, I finished reading "The 5 Types of Wealth," an Instant New York Times bestseller, and the ideas in the book have stuck with me.

This guide is a collection of thoughts I jotted down while reading the book, with one exercise for each wealth type. I am making it easy to access your Wealth Suite wherever you go.

Let’s begin.

Time Wealth

“Time is the most valuable asset in your life.”

Time is the only resource you cannot control, but it plays the most important role in your life. You can’t stop it, you can’t rewind it, nor can you forward it. The dial has its own pace. Use it wisely or die.

Follow this:

→ Invested Time are actions that compound:

- Reading
- Exercising
- Mindfulness
- Relationship building

→ Spent Time are actions that don’t.

Time is either Invested or Spent. Prioritise investing your time.

Also, the Two-list Exercise makes it easy to take charge of your time, goals and priorities. Get the free Two-list Template here.

Social Wealth

“Relationships, Relationships, Relationships.”

The quality of your relationships has a greater impact on your happiness and longevity than any other factor.

Follow this:

List Core Relationships — partner, family, friends

Categorise them into
- Supportive
- Absent
- Inconsistent

Focus on strengthening Supportive ones.
Absent ones don’t cause any harm. Let them be.
Avoid Inconsistent relationships. They are toxic.

Mental Wealth

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
— Mahatma Gandhi

Curiosity is the foundation of your Mental Health. The ultimate hack for your mental health is to have a growth mindset.

Follow this:

List your Pursuits or Activities

Categorise them into
- Energy-creating
- Energy-draining

Identify zones

Genius: Creates energy, and you’re competent in these pursuits.
Hobby: Creates energy, but you’re less competent.
Danger: Drains energy, but you’re competent. Avoid this zone.

Physical Wealth

“Move a lot, eat healthy, sleep well.”

Movement, Nutrition and recovery are the three pillars of your Physical Wealth.

Follow this:

30-Day Challenge

Move your body for 30 to 45 minutes per day.
- 20 Squats
- 10 Plunges
- 10 Jumps
- 10 Reps
Repeat. Start small, then add up.
Eat whole, unprocessed foods
- Eat healthy meals 4 times
- Focus on eating unprocessed
Sleep for 8 hours
- No phone 1 hour before sleeping and after waking up
- Sleep for 7 to 8 hours daily

Financial Wealth

“Conpound interest is the eight wonder of the world.” — Einstein

Income generation, expense management and Long-term investment are the three factors of Financial Wealth.

Follow this:

Income Generation
- Build Skills: Sales, design, copywriting, coding, etc..
- Leverage Skills: Deploy the skills to convert them into income.
Expense Management
- Create a Budget: Plan your monthly expenses and track them. Automate your savings and ensure an emergency fund for 6 months’ expenses against emergencies.
- Stick to the Budget.
Long-term Investment
- Compounding: If you invest $100 per month, you would have a portfolio of $1million approx. 20 to 30 years from now.
Pro tip: Invest in index funds and forget them for decades.
