5 Amare Ways to Experience Wealth Like Never Before

Henry David Thoreau once said, “Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” Sounds simple, but think about it: When was the last time you truly experienced a moment that was free from distractions and the never-ending to-do list in your head? 

In business, leaders often define wealth by financial metrics: revenue, profit margins, market share, etc. All are important for sure. But if they are your only focus, you’ll miss the richness of connection, creativity, and the joy that comes from simply being present. 

How Wealthy Can You Be?

Wealth isn’t just about what’s in your bank account—it’s also about what you’re paying attention to and how deeply you feel life’s moments, both big and small. That this kind of wealth often leads to financial prosperity is a wonderful byproduct.

Wealth is also having the freedom to explore, the courage to be curious, and the ability to connect deeply with your work and the people around you. This is what Amare love-powered leadership is all about.

  • How do you define wealth for yourself beyond financial measures?

  • Based on your definition, are you wealthy?

  • What steps can you take to experience greater wealth?

5 Simple Amare Steps to Greater Wealth

1. Redefine wealth. Take time to write down what true wealth means to you. Include experiences, feelings, relationships, and freedoms that make you feel rich. Discuss your reflections with someone you trust.

2. Imagine the absence. List five people or things that, if they were gone, your wealth would diminish dramatically. Revise your definition of wealth accordingly.

3. Be present in simple moments. Today, pick one small moment—like drinking your morning coffee or taking a walk—and fully experience it without distractions. Notice the details.

4. Connect with curiosity. Have a genuine conversation with a colleague today. Ask questions out of true curiosity, and experience the richness of really listening.

5. Pause to savor. At the end of your workday, take a moment to reflect on one thing that brought you joy or meaning. Let yourself feel the fullness of that moment before moving on.

Remember What Wealth Is Really About For You

As leaders, it’s easy to get lost in the numbers. Remember, true wealth isn’t just about financial success—it’s about fully living, fully experiencing, and fully connecting. 

Lead yourself and your people toward a wealth of experiences, curiosity, and presence. That’s where real richness and enduring business success is found.
