Many people start out believing that earning a high salary is the path to getting wealthy. But that's a fundamental misunderstanding of how wealth actually works. Real fortune comes from somewhere else entirely—from building value, taking calculated risks, and creating something others want to pay for. High income is comfortable, sure, but it's capped. Wealth, on the other hand, scales. Understanding this shift in mindset early can completely reshape how you approach money and opportunity.

No matter how high the salary is, it's just that—real money is in creating value. Many people have completely misunderstood this.

High salary and wealth are fundamentally not the same thing. There's nothing wrong with that statement, but the real challenge is how to transform from an employee to a builder.
