While I have been fascinated by Wealth Dynamics since 2013, only in these past two months have I dug deeper into understanding its principles and how wealth is created.
As a side note, I break down my thoughts before I put them back together through writing, which makes perfect sense since I now understand that I'm a Dynamo with a strong Steel energy. As the saying goes, "I don't know what I think until I read what I say." I share it here for others who may have the same gaps in understanding I had when I started.
So how is wealth created?
According to Wealth Dynamics, wealth equals value times leverage:
- 1. Value is created through dynamic thinking
- 2. Leverage is created through action
- In the words of Roger Hamilton: “Intuitive thinkers create value through innovation (create new things), while Sensory thinkers create value through good timing (trade the markets). Introverts leverage value through multiplying (making it simple and make many). Extroverts leverage value through magnifying (making it complex, and only one). These four make up the sides of our square.”
That’s a mouthful!
So in order for me to understand it better, I first had to see the bigger picture, break it down, and then put it together again in a way that made sense to me. The figure below is my take on Wealth Dynamics and the four sides of the square.
The half of the square above the dotted line represents intuitive thinking where value is created through innovation; the section below the dotted line represents sensory thinking where value is created through good timing.
The half of the square to the left of the solid line represents introverted action where leverage is created through multiplying; the section of the square to the right of the solid line represents extroverted action where leverage is created through magnifying.
It can be broken down into the following quadrants.
- A. Thinking intuitively to create value through innovation by trusting the gut more than relying on the five senses; acting introvertly, which means looking inside for how to multiply solutions.
- B. Thinking intuitively to create value through innovation by trusting the gut more than relying on the five senses; acting extrovertly, which means relying on the feedback from others for how to magnify solutions.
- C. Thinking sensory to create value through timing by relying on the five senses more than trusting the gut; acting introvertly, which means looking inside for how to multiply solutions.
- D. Thinking sensory to create value through timing by relying on the five senses more than trusting the gut; acting extrovertly, which means relying on the feedback from others for how to magnify solutions.
Now let’s add some colour to our diagram in the form of the Genius elements.
- Dynamo is spring energy represented by wood (growth of the trees) and asks the question "What?"
- Blaze is summer energy represented by fire energy (burns the wood from the trees) and asks the question "Who?"
- Tempo is autumn energy represented by earth (ashes return to the earth) and asks the question "When?"
- Steel is winter energy represented by metal (metal is found in the earth) and asks the question "How?"
As illustrated in the images above:
- Dynamo is a combination of A and B, switching between introvert and extrovert action to answer the question "What?"
Blaze is a combination of B and C, switching between intuitive and sensory thinking to answer the question "Who?"
Tempo is a combination of C and D, switching between introvert and extrovert action to answer the question "When"
Steel is a combination of D and A, switching between intuitive and sensory thinking to answer the question "How?"
Spirit resides above them all, represented by the middle point, and determines the flow by asking the question "Why?"
What happens when we replace the letters with numbers for each combination? It becomes the 8 Wealth Dynamic profiles.
And, in my understanding, that's all the components of the Wealth Dynamics square!
Does it make sense or doesn't it? Does it complicate matters or clarify it? This forms part of my research for my ebook, Wealth Dynamics for Marketers, so your insights will be much appreciated.
