How To Calculate And Track Your Net Worth


alright guys today I'm going to share
with you how to calculate and track your
net worth and what I'm going to share
today is probably one of the most
important personal finance rituals of
your life and I first got this in my
early 20s when I did I created a ritual
for myself where I would track and
update my net worth every three months
every quarter today I track and update
it every six to twelve months because I
really got and understood that this
number your net worth is the most
important number when it comes down to
your wealth and your financial abundance
now what I want you guys to understand
is that it's not about how much money
that you make it's about how much money
that you get to keep and what you do
with that money
accumulating assets and building up your
net worth because you can make a lot of
money and I think we should all strive
to make more money which is great but
that does not mean that you're worth a
lot of money you can make a million
dollars in a year but that does not mean
that you're worth a million dollars
because you can make a million bucks in
a year we could also be spending a
million dollars in a year and in some
cases some people they make a lot of
money but they're not worth anything
that they're just using that the money
that they make to pay for their
lifestyle and their expenses they're not
actually getting ahead and the mindset
here is you want to accumulate assets
and eliminate you know liability as much
as possible you want to accumulate
assets that can then provide a passive
income for you so that that's growing as
you continue down this path of working
throughout your life you know I see a
lot of people for example they work
their whole life till they're 60 65
years old but they got nothing to show
for it
they haven't accumulated any assets and
it's like what were you doing like what
were you doing work in all these years
for 40 years of your life if you've got
nothing to show for it so if they're
putting in this time if you're building
a business if you're going to a job and
you're making money
step one is making it but step number
two what's more important is what you do
with it and you've got to learn how to
manage money and if you don't already
know how to manage the money that you
currently have then more money is not
going to solve your challenge
financially you know that's why a lot of
people they can win the lottery they can
win a million dollars but they don't
know how to
manage what they've already got so they
end up spending it and losing it and
they get you know they end up not much
further ahead and in a lot of cases too
I've seen people that don't make much
money but they're smart with the money
that they make they invest it they save
it they make smart decisions with the
money that they have and they end up
getting further ahead and someone that
might have been making more money than
them on an you know per year basis so
this is the mindset this is what I focus
on it's the money that I make great I
make a lot of money I do well but it's
what I do with that and investing that
accumulating more assets and ideally
having your assets be able to provide a
passive income that could then support
your lifestyle and you essentially
become financially free and I've already
shared a little bit about that in some
previous videos but I want to dive into
this ritual for you guys that first know
what your net worth is regardless of
where you're starting from you've got to
know what that number is
okay you got to track this on a regular
basis I first started doing this every
three months and when I was starting out
I didn't have many assets I didn't have
many liabilities so it's very easy and
simple for me to do this today I do it
about every year or so because I have so
many more assets and liabilities is a
lot more complex than it used to be but
I would track this just by using an
Excel spreadsheet okay an Excel
spreadsheet and I'll show you guys how
you guys can do it so what is your
networks or network is your assets minus
your liabilities okay that's what equals
your net worth
your assets are what you own and your
liabilities are what you owe okay very
important of course we want to focus on
accumulating more assets and you know
you can have some liabilities we'll talk
about that a little bit but you know
assets or words that that's what you
want to accumulate the most stuff okay
so what you're going to want to do is go
through all of the assets that you have
okay all the assets and examples of
assets I'll use two different colors for
this and again I recommend tracking this
in a spreadsheet but first and foremost
would be cash okay and by the way cash
could be in your checking account you
might have another one you noticed for
your savings any investments that you
have so for example if you have stocks
stock portfolio you might have mutual
funds you might have real estate you
might have a business which many that's
an asset even you know add in your car
you could even you know take it as far
as different equipment that you might
have you know maybe you have some really
expensive camera equipment or a boat or
other assets you might own okay but
those are things that you own that have
value and what you'd want to do is you
want to calculate it put inside a
spreadsheet it is exactly where you're
at with each of these so just for simple
math purpose I'll just kind of write out
a few things let's say that the amount
of cash that you have is five thousand
dollars the amount of savings that you
have is twenty thousand dollars maybe
you've got a stock investment portfolio
of ten thousand dollars maybe you've got
ten grand and mutual funds maybe real
estate and when it comes to real estate
you want to calculate the equity the
principal okay because the mortgage if
your boring money from a bank or a
lender that's actually going to be a
liability so let's say that you
determine the equity of the property
that you have is
fifty-thousand and business is also an
asset it can be a little bit harder to
track because what you got to understand
is what something is worth it's going to
be based on what some as well to pay for
it okay and the same thing goes with
real estate you might get an appraisal
on a property that you have and they
might determine that it's worth you know
$200,000 it might be worth that but if
no one's willing to pay that amount for
it then it's really not worth it you
know it's going to be worth it some
maybe is willing to pay 150 grand that
that's what the worth is going to be
determined by so you can get a general
idea of it and same thing goes to your
business too there's many different ways
to evaluate the value of a business a
simple and conservative way could be
taking the net profit on a monthly basis
calculate that by maybe 10 10 months for
examples if your business makes you
$10,000 a month net profit then maybe
someone would pay a hundred thousand
dollars for it
now the value of business also depends
on whether or not you have a brand
that's why I often recommend for people
if you're building an online business
build a brand a brand is going to be
worth so much more
there's brands out there exist that
don't actually even make money but
because they have a following or a user
base or customers then it's actually
worth a lot you know for example Amazon
is the biggest one of the biggest brands
in the world but they actually don't
really make much money every year they
don't show much of a profit but it
doesn't mean that they're not worth a
lot they're worth a lot because of their
brand and a lot of different factors -
so do the best that you can the goal
here is not to be perfect obviously when
it comes to you know business it's again
it's based on what someone will pay for
it but maybe you determined you've got a
business that is worth 50 grand and
again your car if you own that you'd
want to put in the equity value that you
have for that and again that's going to
be based on what you could sell it for
so maybe you determinate you could sell
your car for I'll just make it simple
twenty twenty thousand dollars okay so
what you want to do you have all your
assets you want to add it up okay so
let's do some quick math here 50 you get
a hundred grand a 140 160
$65,000 okay that's our assets now that
does not mean that that's your net worth
because maybe you might have some
liabilities so liabilities you're going
to want to write down what do you owe
so for example you might have a student
loan or you might have a you know a
mortgage you might have a line of credit
you might have a car loan you might have
credit card debt okay so you also want
to calculate that so maybe your student
loan is $20,000 maybe your mortgage is
you know $200,000 maybe you got a line
of credit for $10,000 maybe your car
loan is is $20,000 and maybe you got a
credit card debt at five grams okay
again you want to calculate this so
quick math two hundred thousand two
hundred twenty to thirty two fifty to
fifty five
okay now to determine the net worth what
you'd want to do is take your assets and
subtract it by your liabilities so in
this case this would actually be a
negative a negative Network let me
calculate this one really quick for you
guys because this is a situation where
you owe more than you actually own which
is not good I'm not the best at math but
this would be actually a negative
$90,000 network okay so even though
someone could be making a lot of money
and doing really well you know you can
be making a hundred thousand dollars in
a year but at the end of the day if you
network is that a negative you know I'm
meaning if you were to sell all this and
all that you would actually be worth
negative ninety thousand dollars so
that's why this number is really what
matters the most and this is the number
that you got to focus on growing and
really building your wealth
now of course long term you know you
would obviously pay off these
liabilities you pay off your student
loan you pay off your mortgage you pay
off all this stuff and you continue to
build up your assets you can continue to
accumulate more and ideally you may be
in Cuba late more stocks or real estate
or businesses or different things that
could then provide passive income for
you things that actually appreciate in
value versus something like a car would
actually depreciate in value as time
goes on so that's the mindset you got to
have and the way that I track this in a
spreadsheet make it simple for you guys
and by the way this video today guys is
not planned at all just making up these
numbers as we go and I think you know
just so happened we came at a negative
net worth which is actually useful
because a lot of people are actually at
a negative and it's not a good thing
guys you got to be focused on how to
accumulate more assets but what I would
do is if you had a spreadsheet so what I
would do is determine put boots put
assets here okay and again you put your
cash here you'd put your real estate
stocks etc and then down here you know
you'd have the total put that number in
there
and then you do the same thing with your
liabilities liability is down here as
you lift whatever they are here and you
have your total rate and then in this
spreadsheet what you want to do is here
put the date so you can track it every
quarter all right
so let's say you do August 30th 2017 and
then maybe you're going to track you
know the next time every you know every
few months maybe the next time that you
do it is October 30th 2017 and then
maybe the next time you do it is January
30th 2018 and then the next time you do
it is a you know March 2018 etc and the
main goal guys is that you want again
this your net worth the total number to
increase the every time you're making
smart decisions with your money you're
getting further ahead you're building
that Network and guys I've been doing
this like I said since my early 20s I
started off ghazal now is that a
negative you know I I had debt I didn't
have much money I didn't have a lot of
assets but I understood this and so I
totally changed the way that I was
thinking with my money I started
accumulating more assets and saving more
money putting money aside and then using
that money to build my business and
invest in myself in different ways so
that I could accumulate more money and
then taking that money and buy more
liabilities and I would see every three
months that I would do this it would
slowly climb and at the beginning it's
very slow at the beginning you might not
have a lot of disposable cash you might
just be putting aside a hundred bucks a
month here and there might be slowly
increasing or you might be slowly pay in
debt paying off those liabilities in the
debt that you have but just seeing that
increase as time goes on and then as you
start making more money and more money
then there's a lot more they can do with
it and if you guys see my goals reports
what I'm more concerned about tracking
is my overall net worth and tracking my
for example you guys know I got my stock
investment portfolio where the money
that I make because I've got a very low
expense business and I've got great
profit margins I'm able to take a lot of
that and then invest it and save it and
make smart decisions with it I'm not
running a business that is at a deficit
I'm not running a business that's just
barely getting by that's not a business
that's not a lifestyle it's not a
situation you want to have and so
knowing that you might have to decide
that you have to
to cut out some expenses that you might
have you might have to change your
lifestyle so that you can get further
ahead in this way but the ultimate goal
guys is that time goes on you want that
to increase and you want to actually
have something you actually want to be
worth something because that's what's
going to determine your financial wealth
more than anything else so I recommend
guys that you guys practice like I said
on it every quarter is a great way to
start you can also track you know maybe
every year or so but I found that the
more that you manage something or the
more that you measure something the
easier it is to manage it and the more
awareness you have the more you're going
to focus on it and so I like doing it a
little bit more frequently but taking
take with what this with you will you
guys hopefully this can provide some
value to you and help you understand the
mindset and create a new ritual for
yourselves
when it creates comes to creating
financial wealth and abundance I'm going
to be going more in depth into financial
abundance and financial freedom in my
life mastery accelerator we've got a
live training session coming up in the
next few weeks where I'm going to be
going deep into understanding how to
manage money and what to do with it and
some of the strategies that I do and the
mindset that I have when it comes to
creating wealth and abundance and I
think this is one of the most important
things I do in my life because you know
I've seen so many guys that make money
online or they make money in their job
and often people are really impressed by
that and right now wow that's great guys
making a lot of money you know you know
in their salary or whatever it is but
again I that's not the number that I pay
the most attention to you know I don't
really necessarily care about the gross
revenue of something it's more about the
net and then what you do with that and
so I think a lot of people they can get
good at making money but they're not
that great at investing it and knowing
what to do with it so I want to go
deeper into that to educate people in my
life mastery accelerator so if you guys
are part of that then look for that
coming out pretty soon but I want to
thank you guys for watching this and
again hopefully this is giving you some
value today and hopefully some of you
implement this into your life if you
guys enjoy this video leave a thumbs up
subscribe for more videos and I'll talk
to you guys again soon take care
you
