Wealth\u2014what comes to mind when you hear this word? For a good chunk of us, it\u2019s money<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hear wealth, think money. Hear money, think wealth. It\u2019s a simple, automatic connection.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the catch: money, as we\u2019ve heard time and again, isn\u2019t everything. We\u2019ve seen it in the stories of the rich of the richest\u2014from King Midas to Beast (Beauty and the Beast<\/em>), Ebenezer Scrooge, Howard Hughes, and even Princess Diana.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The thing is, financial resources are<\/em> important, according to Robin Sharma<\/strong>, a litigation lawyer-turned-leadership expert, in an interview on the Mindvalley Book Club with Kristina M\u00e4nd-Lakhiani. (Mindvalley Members can catch it on the app.)<\/p>\n

However, Robin explains that it alone isn\u2019t the key to true wealth. In fact, there are seven other forms of wealth that matter just as much\u2014if not more\u2014for a fulfilling life.<\/p>\n

Who is Robin Sharma?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s likely you\u2019ve heard the name \u201cRobin Sharma.\u201d But if you haven\u2019t (or can\u2019t quite put your finger on it), then it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve heard of his mega-hit book, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari<\/em>. Or The 5 A.M. Club<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Both books have topped the best-seller lists and have been translated into multiple languages. Now, it\u2019s looking like his latest, The Wealth Money Can\u2019t Buy<\/em><\/a>, is heading in the same direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI only write books when I\u2019m inspired and when I feel inspired, excited to write a new book<\/em>,\u201d he tells Kristina. \u201cI think the energy that you bring to anything, whether it\u2019s an app or a book or a screenplay or a meal, whoever is consuming it, they feel that energy<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

What makes Robin\u2019s journey even more remarkable is that he started out as a lawyer. But despite his achievements, he found himself feeling unfulfilled.<\/p>\n

This sparked his quest to explore life\u2019s bigger questions\u2014about success, happiness, and what truly matters.<\/p>\n

Why Robin Sharma believes financial wealth isn\u2019t enough<\/h2>\n

Robin isn\u2019t the only one who\u2019s faced an existential crisis. Plenty of billionaires, celebrities, CEOs, and sports stars\u2014the very people who seem to have it all\u2014have gone through the same thing. Even after reaching society\u2019s version of success, many of them still felt something was missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur society really has programmed us to hustle and grind our way to the mountaintop of success, which in many ways is defined as having a lot of money and a lot of likes and a lot of things<\/em>,\u201d says Robin. \u201cThe only challenge with that is, I\u2019ve seen many people\u2014they get to that mountaintop and they say, \u2018Is that it?\u2019<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Turns out, studies show that while money can definitely make life easier, it only boosts happiness up to a certain point<\/a>\u2014about $100,000 a year. After that, earning more doesn\u2019t really move the needle on how happy you feel. Sure, money solves a lot of problems, but beyond that, it won\u2019t magically make you feel fulfilled or content.<\/p>\n

So, what does<\/em> bring that feeling? \u201cMoney is one of the eight forms of wealth<\/em>,\u201d Robin explains. These seven other forms of wealth are essential for true wealth, helping you create a balanced life filled with personal growth<\/a>, wellness, and meaningful relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout these other seven forms of wealth<\/em>,\u201d he adds, <\/em>\u201cwe can\u2019t really say we have a rich life<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eight forms of wealth Robin Sharma says lead to a rich life<\/h2>\n

Wondering what these eight forms of wealth actually are? Here\u2019s the breakdown of them that Robin says can create \u201can upward spiral of success<\/em>\u201d:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Growth. <\/strong>According to Robin, it\u2019s the bedrock of everything. \u201cIf we don\u2019t think we can grow into our greatest selves<\/em>,\u201d says Robin, \u201cthen we\u2019re not going to do the work required to get there<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Wellness. <\/strong>If you\u2019re not physically well, it\u2019s hard to enjoy the rest of your life, no matter how much money you have.<\/li>\n
  3. Family. <\/strong>Strong relationships with loved ones give you support and a sense of belonging. It\u2019s important to nurture these meaningful connections for joy and stability.<\/li>\n
  4. Craft.<\/strong> Developing self-mastery, whether it\u2019s work or a passion, helps bring a sense of purpose and pride.<\/li>\n
  5. Money<\/strong> helps you handle your responsibilities, put food on the table, do things for people you love, and so on. But adopting a strong money mindset is the bigger pot of gold here because it ensures you make wise financial decisions that support long-term security.<\/li>\n
  6. Community.<\/strong> The people around you have a big impact on your life. So building a community<\/a> of positive, supportive people helps you grow and thrive.<\/li>\n
  7. Adventure. <\/strong>Whether it\u2019s through travel, trying new things, or learning something new, stepping out of your comfort zone adds excitement and perspective.<\/li>\n
  8. Service to others.<\/strong> When you live for something bigger than yourself, it helps create a sense of purpose and fulfillment that money just can\u2019t buy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cI deeply believe\u2014and I\u2019ve experienced it with my clients and myself\u2014that you can achieve harmony in all of the eight forms of wealth<\/em>,\u201d says Robin. His approach? It comes down to setting up the right systems, removing distractions, and being intentional about where you focus your time and energy.<\/p>\n

    How to apply the eight forms of wealth in your daily life<\/h2>\n

    Of course, it\u2019s easy to say something like, \u201cAll you need to do is balance the eight areas and you\u2019ll be happy.<\/em>\u201d But chances are, you know that\u2019s not reality; finding that harmony in life can feel impossible, especially when one area demands all your attention.<\/p>\n

    So what can you do to prevent slipping into a one-sided approach? \u201cIt comes down to your habits<\/em>,\u201d says Robin. In fact, studies show that when you focus on small, sustainable habits, you\u2019re way more likely to stick with them and see real, lasting results<\/a> in your life.<\/p>\n

    One powerful tool (of many) that Robin recommends is his \u201cFive-Question Morning Maximizer.\u201d It\u2019s simple and helps you focus on what really matters every single day.<\/p>\n

    Using the Five-Question Morning Maximizer<\/h3>\n

    Here\u2019s what it looks like:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What am I grateful for today?<\/em><\/strong> Focusing on gratitude shifts your mindset<\/a> to appreciate growth and the relationships that bring you support. It also nurtures your emotional well-being and strengthens your connections.<\/li>\n
    2. Where am I winning?<\/em><\/strong> Whether it\u2019s progress at work or positive experiences with your community, celebrating the little wins keeps you motivated.<\/li>\n
    3. What will I let go of today?<\/em><\/strong> Letting go of stress, grudges, or negative emotions allows you to move forward without being weighed down by the past.<\/li>\n
    4. What does my ideal day ahead look like?<\/em><\/strong> Visualize your day and set your intention. This will help you focus on what really matters, like taking care of yourself, spending time with the people you love, or tackling your to-do list with ease.<\/li>\n
    5. What needs to be said at the end?<\/em><\/strong> It\u2019s about \u201cwhat you want to be said about you on the day after you pass away<\/em>.\u201d This powerful question is meant to help you find meaning and remind you of your larger purpose in this life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This is something Robin and his clients do every morning. Give it a try\u2014because who wouldn\u2019t want to start their day feeling like they\u2019ve already won?<\/p>\n
