A working professional has limited time and while everyone wants to get rich, investing for wealth creation takes time. So how does a busy professional take money from their salary and invest?

Well, the first step is accepting that you have neither the time nor the knowledge to make an informed investment decision. So you'll need someone who does - perhaps a wealth coach. More importantly, you must remember not to blow your savings by investing in something you don't completely understand.

That said, anyone can get rich by investing wisely. So, let's get some of that simple wealth wisdom into our nervous system.

• Understand You Investment Needs
  

You must identify your risk profile and set up a time horizon for your investments. Are you aggressive and willing to risk loss for higher returns? Are you super conservative and want moderate but safer returns? This coupled with whether you're in it for a short span or the long haul are questions you must answer for yourself.

• Invest in Mutual Funds using SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans)
  

A SIP offers you the freedom to start small and allows you to liquidate assets if there is an emergency. Start smart with say 10% - 15% of your monthly income. Then as you gain comfort and understand things better, you can increase your investment.
