Wealth Creation Blog

It has happened to almost all of use. We sign up for a credit card, for “emergencies only”. Then we find ourselves at an amazing sale three days before our next paycheck, so we charge the card. We intend to pay the card off as soon as we get that paycheck. However, by the time the paycheck gets here we have to spend it on something else, and in some cases even more on the card. Therefore, the balance is not paid off on the card. Interest is added and the vicious cycle begins and continues until next year’s entire salary will not pay off the debt.

Perhaps you are one of the people who are trying to stretch out your income as far as it will go, only to find that there is still not enough to pay off your monthly debts. Many people turn down the heat, shut off the cable and stop going out to eat. Thousands of people all around the world are lowering their living standards just so they can afford the next trip to the grocery store. Even with living standards lowered, many people find that they have to give up more and more just to make it from one day to the next.

Get Out Now

Do you feel like you are locked away in financial prison? Are you feeling out of control and suffocated? Now is the time to break free and take control. It is possible to rearrange your entire situation; all you have to do is want to. Do not expect millions of dollars to simply fall out of the sky and into your pockets. That kind of thinking will only lead to disappointment and frustration.

You have to be willing to take action. Start by drawing up a monthly budget. List all of the money you have coming in and all of the money that goes out each month. You are sure to find more ways to bring money to you and eliminate the spending that is not necessary. Once you have your finances in order, you are ready to create wealth.

Not everything we give up is really a sacrifice, as we talked about last time. Sometimes in life those ‘sacrifices’ are the best possible things that could happen for us. The benefits to giving up on fruitless efforts are huge, in more ways than you might have considered.

Always On Law Of Attraction

Just like the Internet, the Law of Attraction is an ‘always on’ force. It never stops working for you; it never stops attracting to you that which you put out into the world. Properly utilised, the Secret has the potential to be a hugely beneficial force for you. On the other hand, if you don’t pay attention to what you are attracting to you, it could also easily become one of the most destructive forces in your life.

Just to refresh, we attract to us the same things we put out into the world. If you put out stress, negativity, doubt, and need, you will get all of those things back to you. If you replace those thoughts and feelings with positivity, determination, motivation, wealth, action, and positive effort, those are the things that will come back to you.

Put in this perspective, you now need to consider that any negative or wasteful things that you give up are not sacrifices at all—they are more like culls in the herd of positive things that can work for you and attract wealth. By culling out those negative forces, you make room for the positives and open the space for the Law of Attraction to work positively for you.

As humans we tend not to like change, and so whenever we need to give something up we think of it as a sacrifice. Often, that is not really the case at all. Often we are just making room for positive replacements and improvements, and each time we do that we open up infinitely more possibilities than if we lived with the status quo.

Hard work and honesty—we’re raised to believe they are the two keys to anything that you want in life. But is this really the magic combination that equates to wealth? Or is there something missing in this formula?

Napoleon Hill On Hard Work + Honesty

“If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring riches, banish the thought!”

Chalk this up as another post inspired by the great Napoleon Hill. It was this one single quote from his updated version of Think and Grow Rich, re-titled Mindset Mastery, that inspired me today.

These are strong, but meaningful words that he writes. Banish the idea that you can simply work hard, be honest, and magically be wealthy. But why? Isn’t it moral to work hard and be honest? Is there something wrong with these noble traits?

Certainly not. If you read carefully, Hill says nothing of the sort. What he does say is that these two characteristics ALONE will not bring riches. There is most definitely something missing from this equation. Unfortunately, the traditional education and upbringing does not enter anything else into your life’s equation. We are taught to work hard and be honest, and that success will follow. But I think it’s easy to see where just these two things alone will get you. There are plenty of examples all around, every day.

Where Does Hard Work And Honesty Get You?

Let me say unequivocally now that working hard and being honest are important life traits. These two characteristics are not to be banished, simply built upon and added to. Along with them you would need also traits such as positivity, a wealthy mindset, motivation, action, and dedication.

If working hard and being honest by themselves were enough to build wealth, we would have very few poor people in the world. In my experience, most people are hard working and honest, but that alone has not allowed them to get ahead and create wealth. To do that, more needs to be added to the mix. Hard work and integrity are excellent foundations, but more needs to be added to the mix to solidify that footing.
