Overview Worldwide the wealth and related influence is held by a surprisingly small number of people.
It is estimated that 10% of the world's adults control 85% of the world's assets.
If you aren't currently on the wealthy side of the line, and are wondering how to get there from here; it may be all in your head.
Disruptive Wealth Creation Since the vast majority of people do not fall in this worldwide top 10% or in America the top 1% that own over 40% of the country's assets it is important to look at how wealth mobility or the movement toward the top level of wealth can occur.
In the world of innovation, disruptive technology or disruptive innovation occurs when there is a significant rip in the status quo by the creation of a new product, technology or service.
Microsoft's design of the personal computer created a significant change in the way society functioned.
The iPhone is changing the way people think about communication and its related applications.
The assembly line process was a disruptive innovation in the world of manufacturing which led to mass production and greater ability for people at large to purchase consumer goods and services.
In moving to upper levels of wealth the same kind of disruption in thinking is necessary.
It is often said that if you always do things the same way it is impossible to expect new results.
Concentrated Power Wealth leverage or the ability to create a significant return from a small investment or effort is the ability to concentrate financial power for the creation of wealth.
The leverage required to create wealth mobility may be in the development of networks, the capitalizing of new methods, new technology or new services.
Often this is the development of the proper environment.
Attending workshops, conferences or seminars on investment, wealth creation, venture capital, entrepreneurship or other financial planning techniques will allow you to see the success of others, meet the right type of people and hear new and innovative ideas that may lead to the development of your own ideas.
Don't be Afraid to Try In no situation does any one person have all the answers, some of the wealthiest people in the world have tried and failed at some point.
The important element is to be open to new ideas, new processes and new opportunities.
When presented with the idea, opportunity or innovation to disrupt your financial status, you must be willing to take calculated risks.
While no one is suggesting putting your family on the street for some wild notion, but it is important to do the research, plan your strategy and jump when the time is right.
Conclusion Moving into the upper levels of wealth will always be a daunting task.
But, disruptions have occurred over and over in history.
Some small ideas, other were massive notions but they all moved to a place where there was nothing at all like it in the past.
In this disruptive innovation you will find some of the world's wealthiest people, and maybe one day it will also be you.
