Last updated on 

Most people take decades to build wealth… but what if you could do it faster? The rich don’t just work hard—they invest smart. Here are five strategies that can accelerate your financial freedom. Stick around to the end because I’ll share an action plan to help you get started today.

Strategy 1: High-Growth Stocks

What it is: Investing in stocks with massive growth potential, often in emerging industries.

Global Market Example:

  • Nvidia (NVDA) – Leading the AI revolution, up more than 1000% in the last five years.
  • Tesla (TSLA) – Despite volatility, early investors saw massive returns.

Canadian Market Example:

  • Shopify (SHOP.TO) – A Canadian e-commerce giant that skyrocketed before stabilizing.
  • Lightspeed (LSPD.TO) – A fast-growing SaaS company in the payments industry.

Philippine Market Example:

  • Ayala Corporation (AC.PSE) – A diversified conglomerate with strong long-term growth.
  • Converge ICT (CNVRG.PSE) – A fast-rising fiber internet provider tapping into digital expansion.

Risk Warning: High-growth stocks are volatile. Instead of trying to time the market, consider dollar-cost averaging (DCA) to smooth out price fluctuations.

🚀 Action Item:

  • Research 3 high-growth stocks in industries like AI, EVs, or fintech.
  • Use an app like Interactive Brokers (global), Wealthsimple (Canada), or COL Financial (Philippines) to start investing.

Strategy 2: Real Estate Leveraging

What it is: Using other people’s money (OPM) to buy property and generate cash flow.

Global Market Example:

  • Real estate investors in places like Dubai, Singapore, and the U.S. leverage low-interest loans to scale rental property portfolios.

Canadian Market Example:

  • Pre-construction condos in Toronto & Vancouver – Buy early, wait for appreciation, then sell or rent.
  • REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) like RioCan REIT (REI.UN.TO) provide exposure without the hassle of owning property.

Philippine Market Example:

  • Condos in Metro Manila (BGC, Makati, Ortigas) – Foreigners & OFWs buy pre-selling units for appreciation and rental income.
  • REITs like AREIT.PSE – An easy way to invest in commercial properties.

🚀 Action Item:

  • If you have low capital, look into REITs or real estate crowdfunding (e.g., Fundrise for global, Nexus REIT for Canada, and AREIT in the Philippines).
  • If you have savings, explore house hacking—buy a duplex and rent out one unit to offset mortgage costs.

Strategy 3: Cash Flow Businesses

What it is: Investing in businesses that generate passive income.

Global Market Example:

  • Buying cash-flowing businesses through platforms like Flippa or Acquire.com (websites, e-commerce stores).
  • Starting a YouTube automation channel that earns from AdSense and sponsorships.

Canadian Market Example:

  • Franchises like Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza, or Mary Brown’s – Established brands with high revenue potential.
  • Online businesses – Selling digital products, running an Amazon FBA store.

Philippine Market Example:

  • Food cart franchises (Potato Corner, Siomai King) – Low-cost, high-foot-traffic investments.
  • Lazada/Shopee stores – E-commerce is booming in SEA; many Filipinos make passive income selling private-label products.

🚀 Action Item:

  • If you want hands-off investing, research franchises in your country that require low management.
  • Explore online businesses you can buy or build (dropshipping, Amazon FBA, or a service-based business).

Strategy 4: Dividend Investing

What it is: Buying stocks that pay passive income through dividends.

Global Market Example:

  • Coca-Cola (KO), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), McDonald's (MCD) – Strong, reliable dividend stocks.
  • Vanguard Dividend ETFs (VYM, VIG) – Automatically diversify into high-dividend companies.

Canadian Market Example:

  • Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), Fortis (FTS.TO), TC Energy (TRP.TO) – Reliable Canadian dividend stocks.
  • ETFs like VDY or XEI – High-yield dividend ETFs for Canadians.

Philippine Market Example:

  • Meralco (MER.PSE), BDO (BDO.PSE), and SM Investments (SM.PSE) – Consistent dividend payers.
  • REITs like AREIT (AREIT.PSE) – Pays out rental income in dividends.

🚀 Action Item:

  • Set up automatic dividend reinvestment (DRIP) with your brokerage account.
  • If you're a beginner, buy a dividend ETF in your country and hold it long-term.

Strategy 5: Alternative Assets

What it is: Investing in non-traditional assets that can appreciate in value.

Global Market Example:

  • Bitcoin & Ethereum – The top cryptocurrencies that hedge against inflation.
  • Fine art investing via Masterworks – A way to invest in high-value paintings.
  • Whiskey, wine, or collectibles (Rolex, Pokémon cards, luxury watches).

Canadian Market Example:

  • Gold ETFs like GLD.TO or physical gold bars.
  • Bitcoin ETFs (BTCC.TO) – A safer way to get crypto exposure.

Philippine Market Example:

  • Crypto through Coins.ph or Binance PH – Many Filipinos trade Bitcoin or stablecoins.
  • Agriculture investing – Investing in farmland or coconut plantations.

🚀 Action Item:

  • Invest 5-10% of your portfolio in alternative assets to diversify.
  • If interested in crypto, start with Bitcoin & Ethereum via an exchange available in your country.
