Roger Hamilton, a leading wealth expert and consultant in Asia, is the author of the international bestseller, “Wink and Grow Rich”, and he is the creator of the Wealth Dynamics Profiling System. He made his first million in his twenties, and was financially independent by age 30.

Additionally, Roger is a co-founder and the chairman for XL Results Foundation, the largest entrepreneur network in Asia Pacific. “XL Magazine” is the first magazine of its kind. It is published by XL Results Foundation and is dedicated to social enterprise.

Roger has made and lost millions in his lifetime. He believes we should learn from our mistakes, and today he teaches others to do the same. He specializes in building new businesses throughout Asia. He’s what you would call a serial entrepreneur, and in fact, he launched his first Asian business in 1997 during the Asian Crisis.

You might be surprised to learn that wealth isn’t the most important thing in Roger’s life. Passion is what drives him. Passion is that fire deep within that makes you eager to jump out of bed in the morning and start your day. Creating wealth is so much easier (and more fun) when you’re doing what you love rather than earning your keep.

Roger has a unique way of looking at the relationship between wealth and passion. Wealth isn’t defined by how much money you have. It’s defined by what’s left after you lose all of your money. If your passion is money, you’re left with nothing. If your passion is something else, you’re left with something that will allow you to build wealth again.

Life is full of choices. Roger learned that the hard way while attending Cambridge University. His major course of study was architecture, however, he had a passion for participating on the rowing team. To complicate matters, his friends wanted him to get a job so he could afford to accompany them on a trip to Greece.

So many times we’re also faced with several choices that are all equally important to us. When that happens, Roger likes to turn the choice into just one long question to get one combined answer. We can multitask at work, so why not multitask with our passions?

Roger’s dilemma was filling his architectural portfolio, making money, and keeping up with rowing team practices at the same time. He decided to start making drawings of famous buildings. Those drawings filled his portfolio, copies of them were sold for money, and that left him plenty of free time for the rowing team. It was a winning combination!
