Strategies For Increasing Self-Worth

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

You have money for wealth creation at your fingertipsWe 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.

Mind Your Business And Create Wealth!

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

I love this term; it’s been borrowed from Robert Kiyosaki, whom Jamie McIntyre followed heavily as he created the 21st Century Academy wealth creation program.  So what’s it all about? 

What Is Your Business?

To mind your business, you first have to know what that business is.  If you are like most people, you will probably tell me that your business is whatever career-field you are in; but you would be wrong.  Your career is your job—it is your employer’s business, not yours.  Even if you own your own business your work is not your real business, it is your work. Your business is your personal financial plan for investment—it is what you fund with the money you make at your day-job. 

So maybe you are a plumber by trade using the money you make as a plumber to invest in real estate and create wealth.  That makes plumbing your job and real estate your business. Most people do not understand this until they embark on wealth creation. They see their job as their business, and their real business–wealth creation via investment and asset attainment—suffers or, for many, never even gets started. To create wealth, you have to make your business your priority,  This does not mean you do a poor job at your work, it just means you put everything in its place and prioritize that which will make you rich and get you out of your day job. 

You understand the difference between your job and your business, and you engage in a line of business separate from your work that creates wealth (money making money, passive income). If you hope to make money and succeed at wealth creation, you first have to have a business.  Create the business of you and start building wealth today!

Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old?

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Are you smarter than a 10 year old? Or at least as smart as a 10 year old? Because if you are, you have all the intellectual power you need to succeed at wealth creation.

What You Need To Know About Creating Wealth You Could Have Learned In Grammar School

What You Need To Know About Creating Wealth You Could Have Learned In Grammar School

There is a perception that making money and creating wealth is beyond the reach of the average person. It’s a convenient perception for those who do not want to share the wealth, but in reality it is more myth than fact.

The fact is that there is no reason why any person should not be able to create wealth. That is any person from any walk of life. That includes the poverty-stricken and that includes the working middle class who are living paycheck to paycheck to cover their recurring bills.

The fact of the matter is that the financial strategies that all people could be using to make money from money (from even small amounts of seed cash) are not complicated. They are not beyond the intellectual grasp of regular people. It does not take a doctorate degree in finance or economics to understand them. All it takes is a basic ability to learn and understand a few simple concepts on which the money systems of the world are based.

The Financial Strategies You Will Employ

As Jamie McIntyre says, the financial strategies that you will employ to make money for you and create wealth can be taught to any average 10 year old in short time. And actually, maybe we should start doing that—if we get to these children at a young age, perhaps we could preempt some of the financial conditioning that is really holding adults back from creating wealth!

What I hope that you are learning is that you do have all the tools you need, intellectually and financially speaking, to start and succeed at wealth creation. What you will be taught is not something that you cannot grasp. Wealth creation follows an entirely understandable set of rules and concepts, all of which certainly can lead to financial success, provided you have also taken the steps necessary to form your millionaire mindset and an attitude of wealth creation success.

If you’ve read this far it is obvious that you have the brain power to succeed in wealth creation. Let’s get you started!
