The only way to build wealth is to find the time and commit to it. It’s a statement that many people don’t like to hear because their days are already too full. Your family, work, and personal commitments need you. You need you, but you don’t have time to attend to you. How in the world will you find the time to commit to wealth creation in a way that will be of any use at all?

What Do You Want To Do?

One way is to ask that question and answer it truthfully.

What do you want to do? What do you like? What is interesting to you?

I’m sure you can relate that if you are doing something of interest it is much easier to commit to it and to find the time to do it. It will not feel like drudgery, but will feel like a reward—finally, the time to do something for you, of interest to you. It could just become that hobby that you have so badly needed to pursue; only with the added benefit of making money and securing your financial future!

Finding Possiblility

Creating wealth isn’t about applying a one-size-fits-all investment approach to everyone. It is about teaching people to find possibility and to utilize several different, yet all very real, investment and money-making tools to make money and gain financial prosperity and freedom. You shouldn’t come into this thinking that you have to muddle through and drag yourself along so that you can someday begin to enjoy life. You should come into this with a spirit of positivity, enjoying what you do and learning to build upon it so that you can find even more enjoyment even as you build wealth.

Creating wealth is a full-life overhaul. It requires work and dedication, which requires a time commitment, but when you love what you do it’s easy to find that time to devote to you, because you’ll have all the best reasons to do it. Your financial gain and security, and your personal interest at heart—your life’s enjoyment!

The Law of Attraction—of like attracting like—is a strong force in wealth creation. We’ve talked about the many forms and facets of this law, including how the thoughts you think and the company you keep is very much responsible for continued success in building wealth. We know that when we think positive thoughts, and surround ourselves with positive, like-minded people who are also committed to becoming wealthy and achieving financial success that we gravitate towards being more like them.

We also know that when we keep company with negative people who do not believe in wealth success, when we surround ourselves with poverty, that that is where we wind up ourselves. Logically, then, the thing to do is to keep as much company with wealth, prosperity, and positivity as possible.

The trouble with that is that we are not all surrounded by these types of people. It can be very difficult for many of us to find a significant company of like-minded successful individuals. So where do you go when present company is not conducive to your financial empowerment?

A Community Of Success At Your Fingertips

The internet has made wealth creation vastly easier in many ways. It has given us direct access to the best wealth-building resources and educational experiences; it has brought the knowledge and insight of leaders into the homes of everyone with a connection (or access to one) without the impeding cost of travel. And it has also brought us an entire online community of people with the same positive spirit and success-goals as we have. It has brought that all-important company of financial success to our virtual doorsteps.

You may live amongst some of the most poverty-stricken or negative individuals in the world, but you still have ready access to that all important community of success and wealth builders. You have the support of the entire online wealth creation community. You have the company you need to keep. The World Wide Web has made it easier today to engage with that company, and taken down yet another barrier to true financial wealth.

You can think your way to financial success, but along with those thoughts you need to take action. Without action, there is no conduit for success. There is no way to connect the thoughts and thinking with the end result—with becoming rich. And as we know, the best way to maximize the impact of your actions is to give them a degree of focus and planning—to make a plan, set goals, and take actions to achieve those goals. In the beginning it can be difficult to know what your plan for creating wealth should be. So here I’ve worked out a basic plan for achieving financial prosperity. It is basic in nature and is adaptable to your individual wealth creation plans. It is presented in the spirit of progress, and of giving a framework to guide your attempts. It largely covers the steps that are necessary for any successful attempt at building wealth.

The Plan

The plan, as you’ll see, is fairly simple, but if you follow it you will enjoy financial success.

1. Commit. Unless you commit yourself you will never really get things off the ground. This needs to be the first step.

2. Educate. If you knew how to be wealthy you would be already. Find out what you didn’t learn in school and what you need to do differently to build wealth.

3. Set goals. Goals are you targets. They help you get from one point to another and then another until you reach that desired level of wealth.

4. Focus thought. You know by now that thoughts and mindset are elemental in wealth creation.

5. Take action. You also know that to enjoy tangible success you have to take actions to get you there.

6. Continuity. Achieving wealth is an ongoing process. You cannot think once, do once, and then suddenly become rich. You have to continuously live a wealthy lifestyle, continuously improve upon yourself and your thoughts.

Personalizing The Plan

As I said it’s a basic plan. It is a framework to guide you, but you have to personalize it to really succeed and become rich. You need to take this plan to the next level and fill in the details. Decide how you will become educated, decide what your goals are, and decide what actions you will take to see it through. The keys are here, you just need to act upon them to develop your own personalized plan for financial prosperity.

We’ve talked a lot recently about the necessity of thinking wealthy thoughts. It’s a topic never far from the forefront on this blog, as we know that mindset is the determining factor in successful wealth creation. Just a few posts ago we talked about the importance of thinking big for financial prosperity. Let’s take a closer look at that issue now.

What Wealth Means To You

As you may recall, the point of one of those last posts was that your thoughts will attract the level of financial success that you put into them. In other words, in order to have a million dollars you need to first have million dollar thoughts. Today’s point is that the thoughts and thinking you perform should be whatever wealth means to you. It may not be a million dollars you want. For you, wealth and financial success may mean something else entirely.

Wealth means different things to different people. Many factors can affect what wealth means to you—

• The money you need to live well

• The standard of living where you live and the cost of living where you live (because the same amount of money in one locale will get you much more or less as compared to another)

• The property and belongings you wish to have

• The amount of work (career) you wish to maintain

• How much money you need to support others—family, friends, and charities

In short, your picture of what wealth is will be whatever makes you happy and makes you feel financially content.

No one else can tell you what wealth means in financial terms; no one can even tell you what it means in terms of personal satisfaction. Those decisions are yours to make. I cannot put a dollar figure on what it is to be ‘rich’ or ‘wealthy’. But the thing to take away is that you do need to focus and decide what wealth is to you so that you can focus your thoughts and think in the size that is right for you. Your thoughts will reap what you sew, so it is important to decide how big you need to start thinking to get you to the level of financial freedom and wealth success that you want to achieve.

Is there action in your thoughts? Is there a way for your thoughts to become your financial reality? Do your thoughts lead to financial success? To wealth creation?

Active Thought And Financial Success

It is true that you can think your way to wealth. Wealthy thoughts, positive thoughts, attract more of the same and pave the way to building wealth and financial freedom. But as our discussion of dreams versus thoughts showed us, thoughts are nothing without action.

Thoughts are active things—they require mental activity to live and grow and be. If there is no action in your thought, then you have nothing more than a dream. Therefore, it is not enough to just think about having money; you need to thinking about getting money or making money. You have to envision more than just you holding money, you have to envision you making money and building wealth.

Active thought leads to action

That action is your conduit to financial success. It is the means to the end, the way for you to achieve wealth and be rich. One without the other is useless. Many people are quick to embrace the concept of developing mindset for wealth creation—of thinking their way to financial wealth. They are quick to embrace it because it all sounds so easy; and people love easy, don’t they? If you only accept this concept because it sounds easy, though, you will be sorely disappointed. Because after you begin to think wealthy thoughts, you have to get to work and take wealthy actions. And you have to expend mental energy developing plans and actions that can invite wealth.

To build wealth and achieve true financial freedom you have to embrace wealth creation for all that it is—a thought process and an active process, a process of controlling the actions and making the effort that can make you rich. You have to learn to think and you have to learn to think actively. Develop action in your thought and you’ll have a way to actually become rich—to stop dreaming and start thinking and doing and succeeding!
