Practical Keys To Creating Wealth



               Our attitude towards serving people and how prepared we are for
               the opportunities God brings our way determines whether we are
               candidates of wealth creation or not.


               Opportunities, many times, come disguised as work, a chance to
               volunteer, or an encounter with someone.  Our ability to make a

               and take advantage of the opportunity.

                  “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of my
