I think One of the reason why people remain poor even while earning a decent amount of money from their businesses is the fact that they see money as a spending means and not investing....
When building a business, it requires some level sacrifice and discomfort, after there have been significant growth l, money can be spent for expanding the business. At this point, it is not referred to as spending but as investing, because the changes and expansion will bring in more profits.
However for the case of people earning salaries, do you think there is a way they can be really rich without owning a business and or is it compulsory for one to be own his own business
Countries matters, salaries varies too, if you depend on salary in my country you won't be able to invest money aside because the salary is already very small, almost worthless, but in the U.S they pay them better money and if you can work extra you can speed things up too.
In my own world health is wealth, I am envy of those monks in the temple than those millionaires living in a skycrapper or mansions, many people have no idea how good it is to have a peace of mind, while running after how to be the next millionaire they wasted their time away.
They won't know it now because there are things that are more important than running after becoming a millionaire, having my family is me been wealthy, we are happy genuinely, this is what keeps me going,
