You can harness the freedom, power and potential that wealth offers – Heidi Steiger
You conceived and edited the book Wealthy & Wise: Secrets About Money. Why?
When I worked in private wealth management, I saw so many people make the same mistakes over and over again… not always ending well.
So I decided to write a book to help people gain a working knowledge of how wealth can make you truly happy. I created the outline for the book and all the subjects I wanted to cover, then asked various experts from my network to each write a chapter. The book was a success and has been reprinted several times. But importantly, it has helped a lot of people understand that ‘having wealth is great, but living happily and wisely with wealth is far better’.
And you wisely used the royalties from the book…
Yes, I decided to donate all the royalties and other proceeds from the book to the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship; an organisation I greatly admire. The NGO’s mission is to teach entrepreneurship to low-income people aged between 11-18. By improving their academic, business, technology, and life skills, they can become economically productive members of society. Wealthy & Wise: Secrets About Money is available at Amazon and is a must-read for people dealing with wealth; whether obtained through hard work or inheritance.
