Editor\u2019s Note: The following article was written by Early To Rise Founder Mark Ford.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Longtime readers of Early To Rise know I\u2019m always harping on developing skills that will bring their business more revenue. Recently, someone I respect and admire has been humming a similar tune.<\/p>\n

Doug Casey, founder of Casey Research, echoed my opinions in an essay titled \u201cThe single wisest thing you can do with your money<\/a>.\u201d In it, Doug argued that \u201cone of the most important parts of taking control of your life as a step to prospering in the years to come is to educate yourself and gain skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

With all the uncertainty of the future, he says, building a broad skillset is more valuable than \u201c10 bags of silver, a thousand Krugerrands, and enough food to open a restaurant chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

And he means more than what you can learn in high school or college. Doug goes on to say that financially valuable skills come from trade school, self-teaching, and firsthand experience. I couldn\u2019t agree more. The bigger the arsenal of knowledge you can amass, the better.<\/p>\n

But Doug\u2019s advice comes from a place of uncertainty:<\/p>\n

Who knows what skills may be required in the years to come? What you\u2019re doing now, be it teaching school, practicing law, laying brick, or selling insurance, may be in low demand. But preparing French cuisine, fixing autos, keeping books, or offering financial counsel may be in high demand. Or perhaps the other way around.<\/p>\n

Doug is right. You can\u2019t possibly know what functional skills will be most valuable in the future. But he also knows\u2014and I know this because we\u2019ve talked about it many times\u2014that there are fundamental skills that will help you build wealth regardless of what career path you choose.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent years learning and writing about these skills, and I\u2019ve come to find that there are five of them. So, if you want the ability to create consistent, lasting wealth, regardless of your age or circumstances, you must master at least one of these financially valuable skills:<\/p>\n
