Spoke at a wealth seminar this weekend to an audience of people from all walks of life. They had at least one thing in common - the pursuit of wealth. Now as a committed Christian, one of my passions is educating people on what the Bible says about wealth. However - this was slightly different. The organisers were far-sighted enough to present experts such as myself to offer a more holistic view of wealth. That meant covering the motivations behind wealth, the need to make key decisions for the right reasons, and also the importance of thriving personal relationships.

Personal development guru Brian Tracy was speaking about the most important things in life. First, he said, was health, because without that, nothing else has very much flavour. He added that it's no good making millions if you don't live long enough or stay healthy enough to enjoy it. My good friend Terry Brock endorses this view of health first, then everything else second.

Taking that further, I would say that without the right connections, partners, friends and loved ones, nothing else in life has very much flavour. With divorce at an all-time high (50% of marriages failing), it's clear that as well as struggling with our business relationships, our personal ones are suffering too! We're all familiar with the busy, successful people who spend so much time making money that they come back to empty houses, wayward children and broken relationships.

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

At the weekend, I met Tony and Nicki McVee and their colleague Rob Hargreaves, who are experts in human, romantic, personal relationships. These people not only talk the talk, but walk the walk! From books and cds to retreats in Austria for couple and singles, they humbly reminded me of the need to keep things in perspective and never forget that our richest resources are always in our richest relationships. Who could you love a little more today?
