The absolute first step in accumulating wealth is empowering yourself. Self-empowerment is necessary before you can begin to control the money that flows through your life and maximise the potential of it.

Living The Unempowered Life

Think of the unempowered life as the one that you have been living up until now, or up until the point where you took definite steps towards change and the focused pursuit of wealth. If you’ve been on this course for a while it is possible that you have already gained a level of financial empowerment in your life; if you are just starting out consider this read an essential first step and illumination.

In either case no doubt you can understand the importance of empowering yourself to live a better, freer, wealthier life. Either you are not yet empowered and you can feel the need, or you have gained a level of empowerment and glimpsed the possibilities that gaining control over money presents to you.

Financial Empowerment’s Double-Edged Sword

There are many small factors that contribute to personal financial empowerment, but there are two big ones that prevail:

1. Wealth Education
2. Personal control

Ultimately it will be your personal control (for lack of a better term—this isn’t just about discipline) that dictates your success in building wealth. For almost everyone, though, a quality wealth education is elemental in gaining that control. Whether formally through a course or informally through reading and study, the people who succeed and go on to build wealth all get educated before they succeed.

Empowering yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Having power and knowing it is enlightening in and of itself. Give yourself that gift, and take time to enjoy your accomplishment—your power!

Are you empowered? How has that knowledge changed you? How would you describe the feeling of empowerment? I’m eager to hear…

Most everyone “gets it” when we talk about being more positive and living everyday in abundance to attract more of the same; at least, they understand the concept. But getting started can be a bit more of a challenge, so let’s talk about that some more.

Starting The Cycle Of Living Well

Once you have money it’s easy to live like you do. It’s easy to live well so that you capture that powerful law of attraction and attract more of the same. But most people do not start out wealthy. They start with a motivation, a hope, and a wish, but not with an overflow of money.

Here’s the thing—you don’t really need money to attract money. You need success and positive thinking to attract more success, and the money then comes. You need to focus on the attitude and the concept, not so much on the physical presence of money. Money is a byproduct—the byproduct to positive thinking and living well—to living wealthy. By that I do not mean just financial wealth, but life wealth.

As we all have heard so many times, there is more to life than money. But try living life today without money….that’s not so easy. Money is a very handy tool in the modern world, isn’t it? The point here is that you can live wealthy without having money. You find wealth in all that you have, by focusing your positivity and abundant thought on what you have and what you are achieving and working towards.

A Word Of Caution

Whenever this subject comes up I feel I need to give a word of caution. As Jamie McIntyre says, you need to start living a life of quality and abundance in order to attract more of the same in your life. You need to start living wealthy. But you also need to understand what that really means. It does not mean going further into debt to live like the wealthy. That is really opposite to your goal, because that is not living in abundance that is attracting more debt.

Living wealthy and stockpiling wealth and abundance means finding the abundance you already have in your life and starting from there. It’s there if you look for it. It may mean changing the way you view your life, but you can find, through positive thinking, that you already have a level of wealth in your life upon which you can build to attract more.
