Affluence is the power of money.
The more money that I have the more affluent I am.
Affluence is the ability to purchase what I need emotionally.
Affluent people believe that they are able to buy whatever they need to keep them happy.
Affluence is a measure of riches not a measure of wealth.
Money can’t buy happiness, it can only stop you being miserable for a while.
Influence is the authority of status.
The more status that I have, the more influence I have.
Status is my authority to assert my influence over other people.
People in authority influence others with their status.
Influential people realise that their authority doesn’t come from their status and what really influences other people is their affluence.
Those who have no true authority need the power of money to maintain their influence over other people.
Those who express their true power have the greatest influence on other people.
