The Monk who sold his Ferrari.
Dear friends, thank you for coming back. And, welcome, if this is your first time to be here with us. We ushered 2025, urging you to write a story (30 Dec 2024, post). Not of others, but yours. Yes, your own story. It helps you go back in time to uncover the milestones of your life you may have missed to recognize. Subtle turning points. Transforming realizations.

This is the story of 'The Monk who sold his Ferrari' a book by Robin Sharma. As he was at the threshold of death – on his hospital bed of a heart attack – he realized that his 'impressive' life was an empty one. We will try to go through his discovery, in our next post, and make it to our own benefit: true wealth that gives lasting happiness.

(The image you see was a gathering of friends in Madrid, Spain, September 2025 - from the global wealth industry. This writer is one of them.)

The Millennials (and Gen Zs) and the Gig-economy! What can we learn?

These guys - the millennials - born between 1980 to 1996 'tend to respond simply to the environment' they came into: Technology and the Economy. They also seem to believe that 'facing the real world armed with nothing but a diploma was a bad idea' (Foundation for Economic Education).

I once worked with a company that provides a broad range of services - from housekeeping to interior design, and engineering, among other things. That was before the 'digital explosion', pre-covid. Apparently and out-of-nowhere, this parallel economy, the gig-economy showed up fueled in-part by Uber and Airbnb (Forbes). As the global mainstream economy nose-dived in 2008, the Millennials and later the Gen Zs, landed strong on their own two feet. And the gig-economy flourished.

Yet these clever Millennials, and their younger counterparts the Gen zs, did not just stop. It is one thing to earn but another thing to let those earnings grow! They seem to be crossing the threshold of employment-dependence towards entrepreneurship and investing. They could have been inspired by the Billionaire Warren Buffet - who never stops investing in the 'markets' while earning from his own multi-billion dollar Berkshire (Asian Banking & Finance).

Money is a loyal servant . It doesn’t sleep. But works for you 24/7 if you allow it rightly! – By ‘The Richest Man in Babylon’.

Digital Nomadism: A Model for the ultimate Work-Life balance.

It is a dream they are now living, for Michelle & Jake Schomp. Starting in 2016, they 'braved' this lifestyle by selling their home. Now, while being mobile, Michelle runs a remote business out of the abundant flexibility that it provides. Their children - ages 9,7, plus a baby - are seeing the world in the 60 countries or so they have been to. And for their classroom, it is the world. As for Jake, he does quick, short-term tech contracts, being a consultant. Now, in the life of travelling, the couple lives happily being able to see their children grow up. Spend time together, become close with each other. And seeing the world as they connect with the people in the places they go. (Extract from an article, By Hannah Larson - LinkedIn, Feb 7, 2023).

That was before the pandemic. And so much has changed after the lockdowns. Work structures have been reconfigured for remote inclusion. Businesses make it possible for employees to work flexi. Educational systems and government regulations too, have responded quite well to these realities. More and more countries have also become open to 'Nomadic visas'. And most of all, technology has been sharpened, as never before, to address these global shifts.

So, what is it that is driving these people into this intrepid lifestyle?

For many of them, it is freedom: to do what they want to do and go where they want to go! No office politics. We can hasten to say that for most of these people, life and living have been redefined!

Dear friends - whether it be nomadic or permanent settler - being happy makes us truly human. Desire the kind of a lifestyle you believe will make you truly happy. And If you haven't done it yet, start now to create your ideal financial portfolio to fuel this lifestyle.

Digital nomadism: What if work blends-in to include a travel itinerary?

When I was in the 2nd year and 3rd year high school, my mother would allow me to spend my summer breaks in the city where my uncle (her elder brother) lived. I naturally looked forward to these times when her brother would bring me along to travel with him to several towns selling varied merchandise that townsfolk would buy. The items we carried inside a huge truck - enough for a week-long journey - were being re-sold in the stores inside those 'town markets'. My uncle was the 'distributor' and the stores were his 'retailer-customers'. For my uncle, it was a flourishing business setup, back in the '70s.

Thus, we were the type of a Peripatetic nomads, selling goods from one town to another. For me, then a 14-year-old boy, it was work plus adventure at the same time. And the money I earned and the new places I visited were more than enough motivation for me to go back the following summer break.

That youthful experience of mine pretty much describes the Digital Nomads (DNs) of today. These are the people who travel freely while working remotely using technology and the internet (Wikipedia). There are about 35 million DNs in the world today. Over 60% are self-employed (By Travel Blog - Two Tickets Anywhere - Sources: Statista, Flexjobs, Nomad List).

For a Digital Nomad, wealth management and access to global financial markets is an essential element in this lifestyle. Now having emerged from the Covid 19 lockdowns, we may find ourselves in quite a similar way of life, one way or another.

Dream.
Life would be intolerable if we were never to dream. (Adapted from: Anatole France, French novelist - Brainy Quote)

Simple dream.. yet global in proportion, 1989! This was how the World Wide Web came into being. But no! The Internet and the WWW are not the same.

That was to be able to access information from different computers. It all started from there.

Tim Berners-Lee was a software engineer at CERN (Physics research laboratory - Geneva, Switzerland). So he needed data from other computers. He must log on to each one of them. But to extract the information he needed, he had to be knowledgeable with the different programs that run in those machines. That was both tedious and complicated.

Thus, the fundamental technology of the web, the HYPERTEXT - HTML, URL, and the HTTP - was born in 1990. And to be able to go to Gmail.com to send your email, you would now be using both the internet and the web.

Technology is the backbone of ITA. We will go back to this subject in one of our future interactions. Meanwhile, we leave you this thought..

A life of true happiness is a life of quality. It is our birth-right to claim and take possession of it! (Acts 2:17).

The Fifth & the Last Law of Gold.

Your DESIRE. Guide its power by your knowledge of the Five Laws of Gold.

The Fifth Law. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters or schemers or who trusts to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.

Deers and Rabbits are among the shyest animals in the wild. But deers, left to themselves, can climb stiff highs, almost vertical rocky mountains. And rabbits are found to lower blood pressures of their owners. But run away very quickly into their burrows when they sense bigger animals, or unrecognized humans.

If they are not forced into something out of their nature, Rabbits and Deers - beautiful creatures of God - give immense joys to us humans.

Gold (wealth) is not very different!

Now, let us wrap up the Wisdom of Arkad in three easy-to-remember ‘KIS’ bullets:

1) One-tenth of what you earn is yours to keep. It is a burden not easy to carry at the start. But year-to-year, consistently, brings you to your final purpose.

2) Invest your Gold with men trained in methods and wise of its handling. Deceivers are not at all too difficult to tell.

3) Spend your Gold in ways that give you true happiness. It is the one that goes beyond this life to the next!

Congratulations my friend. We have together distilled and translated for our own, the Wisdom of The Richest Man in Babylon. Retrace our steps that brought us to this point.

With the vision of a wise man as Arkad, we are now prepared to enter our own Babylons. His son, Nomasir, he became a rich man in Nineveh. Abiding by the wisdom of his father - was entrusted with more. His inheritance!

Like Nomasir, we have been prepared to claim our own inheritance. The Wisdom from the Clay Tablets of Arkad - it opens our way!

Next week, we will explore a few Financial Solutions - from ITA Investors Trust. You can request a no-commitment Zoom meetup with me. Remember I am a friend. We have travelled this far together – and you know my thoughts. Let us travel even farther - in our honorable quest to be happy! You and Me.

Don't forget.. Like & Share. See you back next week!

The 3rd & 4th Laws of Gold. By the richest man in Babylon.

The radiance of Wisdom never ceases.. all good things together came to me with her, and countless riches at her hands (Wis 7:10+).

And so, Arkad tells the story of his son, Nomasir, who would inherit the vast empire of his riches in Babylon. But first he must pass the test. Only then can he be its legitimate heir. His son must understand that without wisdom, gold is quickly lost.. but secured in his possession, by those who keep wisdom in their company!

So it was that he sent his son on a ten-year quest. For his journey, he gave him a bag of gold. And a clay tablet with inscriptions of wisdom. Ten years passed, and Nomasir was back to his father - to tell his story!

The Third Law. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.

Now, Nomasir appears before his father, his face downcast and humbled because he lost all the gold in his bag. 'Forgive me father', he continues, 'the gold you gave me for my journey, was all gone. In the caravan I joined to Nineveh, was two well-spoken men with a beautiful white horse. They contended that a man in the city we are going has a horse so swift it has never been beaten. Compared with their white horse, that would be a match like a 'turtle to a hare'. So it was that I lost the gold, and from a few more times of youthful inexperience in trade and investment. And the father smiled indulgently.

The Fourth law. Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar, or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.

Wounded from losing his gold.. still, he remained undaunted out of his desire for the inheritance. That he has more to lose from his father if he goes home beaten. He qu**ky recovers. Took out the clay tablet inside another bag he kept, already gathering dusts of sand from his desert journeys. There it was - his lessons for wisdom!

And the time finally came that he would give the full account to his father of his journey of wisdom. Father, Nomasir continued.. 'I remember the confidence you had in me in my journey. Losing all my gold, I quickly ran to the employ of a wealthy man in Nineveh. I earned my few coppers and put aside that which was mine to keep. Seeing me now in my thrift, I earned the trust of my slave master. He confided that the King of Nineveh was going to build a wall to protect the city from its enemies. And the king would need metal to reinforce the strength of the wall. The slave master took me in his group that would sell the king for the metals he would need.'

From all the confidence of experience in ten years of his travel.. Nomasir's face suddenly brightened. He motioned to his servant to bring out the one bag and place it in front of his father. 'You gave me a bag of gold, and I lost it. Here is one to replace that which I lost. And two more bags of gold out of the wisdom from the clay tablet you provided.'

'Father, I have been able to become rich and since then respected by the people.' And his father, Arkad, devotedly puts his hand on the head of his son. And smiled!

Exciting Wednesday - WF Thoughts Today!
The Second Law of Gold.

These truths you will soon see, have been there laying on the surface of the earth (at its birth) but hidden from the consciousness of men. Until Arkad, and the sages of his kind noticed it. Well for Arkad, he tells the stories of his 'Find' that gotten its way, thankfully, before your very eyes now. Therefore, pay thou attention lest it escapes your senses, and be gone forever.

Second Law. Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.

We control our actions, but the consequences that flow from those actions are controlled by principles (Stephen Covey - 7 Habits). Nature's Law! And it is Natural Law subjecting all things: Gold (wealth), and 'Matter' (tangible things having weight, e.g., mass).

Only, that Gold and all Matter run the opposite ways - in the natural order! Dropped outside of your flat from your building - Matter goes down, as in a book, or a clay pot - by Gravity. But Gold.. it has its own natural law. It goes up - the natural way - in opposite of Matter. Unless buried in the field, but allowed to go its own path (in the right employ), Gold flies! That is Gold's intrinsic characteristic.

And you my friend, your role, your most important responsibility, is to find for your Gold - his profitable employment! Let him fly!

See you back tomorrow, for the Third Law. Take your friends with you that they too may witness prosperity and be under its wings. Thank you - Like and Share.

The First Law of Gold

Behind the success of a man is a woman. Yet underneath this woman lies a simple truth - Behind every accomplishment is DESIRE! It should be big enough and definite to move you into action.

Apologies - I missed a post yesterday (Monday).

Today and the rest of the week, we will reflect on the 'Five Laws of Gold' by Arkad, our teacher of wealth.

First Law. Gold comes gladly and in increasing quantity, to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.

Arkad bets his life reputation on this law. Anything lesser, according to him, is non-negotiable. We crossed this thought in passing earlier in one of our posts. But we will try to expose of this a bit more.

A quick look of it one can say it is doable, for one with a kind-of 'bigger' incomes. But if you are the one that is barely able to connect till the next payday.. this is unbelievable! My friend, this is exactly what Arkad's law is all about. To dare the 'impossible'. Because then, miracles come out.

The first 'miracle' is almost immediate. Because to be able to do it, means that you need to cover the shortfall of what is left by the one-tenth that you took off. This is why 'DESIRE' precedes the 'accomplishment'. It brings out the creative side of every person. Cover the deficit!

And the next miracle that emerges quickly is - conquer Procrastination. Your time was yesterday! The one-time shepherd boy Arkad, now the richest man in Babylon, knows it all by heart.

We are happy you are here with us today – Thank you! Continue to Share. Like and Comment. We go for the Second Law tomorrow.
