When Jamie McIntyre first determined to make himself rich, one of the first things he recognized was that he had little useful knowledge in wealth creation. Jamie took an honest look at the education he had received in school and University in the 20th century, and determined that this education (based really on education developed in and for the 19th century) was severely lacking for anyone hoping to succeed financially in the 21st century; his dated education was of little use to him in creating wealth utilizing the financial systems and rules of today’s financial world.

Jamie sums it up this way: “common sense told me that to excel in the 21st Century one needed an education designed for today’s world…” But where are you supposed to get one?

There is no public or private school that you can go to get a 21st century education

Our educational institutions just have not evolved that far. The educational institutions we are learning from are still steeped in a tradition of preparing students for the working world—for teaching them how to get the skills to work and make money—to collect a paycheck.

But as Jamie McIntyre realized, no one will get very far by using only the knowledge he or she gained from school. This put Jamie on a different path, in search of a truly useful education; one that could do more than get him a job, one that could teach him how to take the money he’d earned and put it to use making more money for him. Jamie was looking for an education that would teach him how to do what the wealthy do—create wealth from wealth; let money work for him, instead of him working for money.

Jamie spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars learning to create wealth

And today, his work is our gain (and his, too—Jamie’s living very well these days!). Fortunately, Jamie also had the foresight to know that what he learned could be dramatically reduced and formulated into the very type of education that is lacking in the world—a 21st Century education.

This is the education that you need to succeed in wealth creation. It is more than an education in finance, it is an innovative program that teaches us how to create wealth and achieve financial freedom. This program, which I offer to you and offer my unending support in obtaining, is the education you didn’t get in school. No doubt that is a very big reason why you are still searching to find the answers to wealth creation and financial freedom.

Goal setting is an important part of successful wealth creation. And as we all know, this is the prime time for setting new goals for the year.

Looking Ahead To Wealth Creation

Envisioning your financial success is one of the ways we succeed in wealth creation. Form a vision of where you will be at this time next year, and let if guide you as you set the goals—the path to financial freedom—that will get you there. The practice of setting New Year’s financial goals starts (as we laid out in the last post) with reassessing the year past. With a firm grasp on your current financial picture, make a plan to take you through the next 12 months; make it a plan that ends much better than it starts. No matter where you are in wealth creation, there is always room for more…

Make Wealth Creation Goals Meaningful For You

Everyone’s financial goals for 2008 will be different. Every one of us is starting at a different place, at a different point in wealth creation efforts, and at a different level of understanding of wealth creation.

• For those of you just starting out, and also for many of you who have yet to make a strong showing of investing, the best goal for you might be to find the money that will fund your efforts at creating wealth. Take a look at the list of places we talked about before and figure out where your money will come from.

• Of course, you’ll also need to decide where you will put that money to grow it and make money, but first give yourself a level of protection and spread the wealth around in your life. Take a look at what Jamie McIntyre calls the ‘bucket’ concept; having buckets of wealth will help minimize your investment risks.

• Make it your goal to continue your wealth creation education. No matter where you are in wealth creation, you can always learn more and find new ways to put your money to work for you.

• To this list, add anything that will help you improve your financial future in the year ahead.

One goal worth a mention by itself is savings. If you’ve read Jamie’s book, you know that building a base of savings is imperative to wealth creation and financial success. But almost none of us do it (the wealthy are excepted). This year, set a dollar-figure for straight savings, and work to build a habit of savings—no excuses!!

Wishing you loads of financial success in the New Year…

We talked before about increasing your income by getting what you are worth. No doubt plenty of you left thinking that is easier said than done. If it was that easy to convince your boss to give you that much-deserved raise, you’d have done it already, right? I hear what you are saying, but wealth creation does rely on your ability to access that all-important seed money for investment. And a great number of people have easy access to cash right at their fingertips—if they’d just be confident enough to get what they are worth.

This really goes back to the issue of mindset and determination; if you have the mindset of success, wealth creation will follow. If you know your own worth and believe in it, you will find financial success. If you are determined to improve your life through wealth creation, you will put in the effort to get all that you are worth.

Recognizing, however, that it can seem impossible to tap that worth, Jamie McIntyre has led the way. His method for increasing wealth by tapping self-worth is simple and straightforward.

What Are You Worth?

Many people have a small idea of what they are worth, but no real research to back them. Research, though, is no more difficult than a job hunt.

Take your credentials to other companies and see what they are willing to offer you. Compare that to what you are getting now, and then go to your own boss with the offers. In many cases, a company will sooner step up to the plate and give what they should be giving before they will lose a good employee to the competition (especially now that they know what you can do for that company).

Don’t go in haste, go with a plan. Try to get three offers to back you up. Show that your skills are valuable, that you are willing to move on, and also throw in some bit about the value that you add and can continue to add to your current company.

In the business world, pay increases go to those who ask for them. But yours will be better still if you do more than ask—prove your worth! Prove your worth (even though your company probably already knows), show that you have options, and be prepared to move towards those options if your current employer won’t match your terms.

You’ll know just where you stand in terms of worth and valuation. That’s an important lesson to learn on the path to wealth creation.

Since this week we are so focused on the future, I want to take a minute to remind you about how you can use even small efforts to improve your financial outcome in a very big way. We talk a lot about attitude and mindset. We do this because we know that mindset and attitude are the two things that have the biggest impact on wealth creation. And we talk a lot about how important it is that the wealth creation mindset is positive—an attitude of success, determination, and perseverance. A positive wealth creation attitude will improve your financial situation all by itself—even if you never do anything more to advance yourself towards building wealth (knowing, though, that without further action there is a limit to the wealth you’ll create). How can that be so?

Setting Up Dominoes Of Wealth Creation

Think of your financial future like a game of dominoes. Each result is the consequence of the action that precedes it. Just like in dominoes. One move causes the next, and the next, down the line until the end.

If your efforts at creating wealth are based in negativity, they will be counterproductive. Your results will continue to be negative, and they will continue to cause negative consequences on down the line.

If your efforts at building wealth are based in positivity, they will be productive. Positive outcomes will cause more positive outcomes.

Dominoes are a good visual example, but really the consequences of your attitude and mindset are about the attraction. Positivity attracts positivity; a positive attitude clears the way for more good things to come—it opens the door to attracting wealth.

Negativity repels wealth and shuts it out. The spaces in your life are crowded by negativity and old debts, old ideals, old frustrations. Your bad attitude makes you look for and expect more of the same. And you find exactly what you are looking for.

This year, make a point of looking for the positive. Make that the reality that you find. Set yourself up for the greatest and most wealth-producing game that you have ever played. Set yourself up for natural wealth creation!

You’ve got great plans for making money and creating wealth this year. Now don’t keep it to yourself—tell someone! By just telling another you increase your odds of succeeding at wealth creation.

Share Your Future Wealth Creation Success

There are more reasons than one to share your wealth creation success with those around you. By telling someone else about your plans for wealth creation, you accomplish a couple of things.

• First, you make your commitment real—to you! Just telling someone else about something you plan to do helps make it real. It’s all psychology of the self, but when you hear yourself speaking what you’ve only talked about in your mind, it becomes more real to you. In essence, you tell yourself that you are really committed to wealth creation, in part because of your willingness to share your plans.

• When you tell another how you plan to pursue wealth creation, your ego steps in, too (in a good way this time!). Your ego isn’t going to respond well to you failing and having to save face; telling someone about your plans to make money and create wealth becomes a form of self-motivation.

• Enlisting support of friends, family, and those who care about you gains additional support, confidence, and motivation that can help carry you through your less confident times.

• Sharing your plans to achieve financial freedom may well be the boost those close to you need to do the same! Not only does talking about wealth creation with other people gain you needed support and motivation, you cast the same out to those around you, creating an even bigger and better atmosphere of success and wealth!

Sharing wealth creation with other people—people who can be positive and supporting, or share an interest in creating wealth—will help you and eventually come full-circle. Talking about wealth creation plans draws wealth and success to you (remember the mindset and positive powers of attraction we talked about before?). Make it your goal today to share your excitement and ambition with someone that can benefit from your wealth creation efforts, and help you solidify your goal of achieving financial freedom.
