Write Your RPA Plan

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

An Rpa can help your time management People today are busy, busy, busy. Too busy. Everybody is running, moving, always doing. People are always engaged in activity of some sort or another. You might think that with all of this activity, we would be really going somewhere! Why, then, are most people getting nowhere? Something a lot of people do not realize is that activity does not equal action and productivity. The fact that you are always moving and doing does not mean you are accomplishing a thing. It does not mean you are making any real strides towards wealth creation and financial freedom.

Creating An RPA

What is RPA? RPA is a term coined by Jamie McIntyre at the 21st Century Academy. It’s an abbreviation that represents a planning process; a process which consists of being

• Results focused

• Purpose driven

• Action oriented

The RPA process helps you come at every decision in a more goal-oriented fashion so that you can achieve whatever it is you have set out to do. RPA gives point and purpose to the activity in your life, and turns motion into action that gets results.

RPA is not a hard process, just a different and more productive one. You can learn the basics of RPA in minutes, and start implementing it just as quickly. You only need to adopt three easy steps, and apply them to everything you do.

Here’s how RPA works:

For every situation, ask yourself,

• “What do I want to get out of this situation? What is the result I am hoping for?” Do this instead of asking yourself what you should do.

• “What is my purpose?” knowing your purpose will give you the reason to go on and persevere, even under difficult circumstances.

• “How will I achieve this?” Determine what steps you need to take in order to achieve the result you want. Take Action!

RPA is really a simple process, and one that many people even know already that they should be engaging in. But many times we become overwhelmed and cannot bring ourselves to the most important step—to taking action.

If you can learn to apply the principles of RPA to your life, to every decision in your life, you will be well on your way to succeeding in wealth creation, to creating wealth and achieving financial independence.

21 Days to Wealth Creation

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

In 21 days you can be successful in wealth creationIn just 21 days you can be well on your way to success in wealth creation. Yes, just three short weeks from now you can have all the building blocks in place to lay the foundation for a lifetime of financial success. I realize that probably sounds as gimmicky to you as it does to me, but there is truth in what I say here.Studies have shown that it takes the average person about 21 days to create a new habit. That means that if you do something each day for a period of three weeks, it will then become part of your daily routine. And for most of us, what is routine is far more painless.

When you create a new habit or routine, you invite an activity into your life. You know, almost automatically, that you will do that thing everyday. You’ve made a time and a space for the activity in your life, and so it is not a chore to ‘find the time’ to see to a matter. And no matter how busy life gets, you can rest assured that that routine will be attended to—because you’ve made it an important part of your life.

Wealth Creation In 21 Days

So how can you apply this to wealth creation? There are many ways, actually.

For starters, make wealth creation a part of your lifestyle, every day. Each day, do something that is geared toward creating wealth. Make it your express purpose every day to attend to a matter of wealth creation or financial success.

What you do does not need to be exactly the same every day. What is important here is that you are creating that time and space in your life for wealth creation. You can start small and build upon your efforts. And every day, it will get easier and easier to do so.

Start off with a small, achievable goal—one that you can feel good about, one that gives you the feeling of positive, forward motion; one that feels that you have taken action and impels you toward more action! This can be reading, researching, filling out a wealth creation worksheet, completing one activity on your wealth creation checklist…

No doubt that your life is as harried as everyone else’s, so make your initial goals something that won’t take up your entire day. If you can commit even a small amount of time every day to building wealth, you can meet that goal and move ahead.

As your efforts come to naturally incorporate into your life, the efforts will get easier—until they are barely an effort at all; because after all, what stops us so much of the time is not finding the time.

Start today to build your routine of wealth creation, and then watch as you begin to replace much less meaningful things in life with this new found habit of success.

Is Your Wealth Creation Program Incognito?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

0750.jpgAre you here because you are one whose wealth-creation program has been running around incognito?  Did you think you were buying into something promising and great, something that could really give you the tools you need to make money and create wealth?  Are you still looking for the wealth-creation part of your program?  The part that gives you a complete set of skills to make money with? You’ll be able to answer ‘no’ to all of these questions if you’re participating in the right system for creating wealth; if you’ve trusted another program that just isn’t delivering for you, though, perhaps you’re here hoping there is still someone out there that will.

Telltale Signs Of Scammy Wealth Creation Systems

 I wish I could just list all the scams out there, but for one it might get me into some trouble, for two others may disagree, and for three—there are just too many to keep up with!  Instead, maybe I can give you some pointers of the programs that are disguising themselves as real wealth-building opportunities without foundation. 

  • Nothing to learn

A wealth creation program is really an educational opportunity.  It is not about you handing over your money to someone else to ‘invest’, or about you pooling your money with a group of strangers.  Good financial empowerment programs teach you how to invest in a way that actually works. 

  • Nothing to reproduce

Your wealth creation program should give you investment knowledge and strategies that can be reproduced—over and over throughout your life, so that you create a whole lifelong system for making money, not a one-shot deal that claims to make it all in one investment (a great way to lose everything). 

  • The sales pitches only approach

A lot of the financial products being sold as wealth building programs are nothing more than sales-pitches for investment software, etc.  Make sure you are buying an education that teaches you. 

  • Buying into a ‘business’

You don’t build wealth by saving money through strategic buying alliances and multilevel marketing schemes.  Heck, you probably don’t even really save money on products “you buy anyway” by doing that. 

  • Nothing to prove

A program with no backing is not a successful, replicable system for creating wealth.  Make sure the program you invest in has references and testimonials from clients who have used the system and succeeded. A financial program for making money and creating wealth that meets the above criteria—or more accurately, does not meet the above criteria—will be flexible and versatile as well.  Choose a reputable system to teach you how to create wealth, and steer well clear of the scams that are just ready to take your money and run.

But Where Will You Invest Your Money?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

The Key To Where the Wealthy Make MoneyA complete wealth creation education is a complex thing. At the beginning, you have to learn how to change your attitude and mindset to be able to welcome money and create wealth. The How of it comes later, but is also an important part of becoming financially secure.

Where Do The Wealthy Make Money?

For the answers, look to the wealthy—just as we’ve done to learn how to achieve the right mindset for wealth creation. The wealthy make money in three basic areas—areas Jamie McIntyre calls the “3 pillars of the rich.”

Here are the pillars of the rich that the wealthy use to make money from money:

  1. Business—the rich invest in good quality businesses, but not to create a job for themselves, to make money without having to be there. This is different than opening up shop or owning your own service business.
  2. Property—real estate has historically been a great place to make money. But again, the rich do this differently. They invest in properties that are assets not liabilities, which is what homes really are.
  3. Stocks and Shares—sure there’s risk, but it’s risk that pays off, and that’s what makes the wealthy rich. However, the rich also know how to offset that risk and prepare themselves ahead of time so that stock market risk is affordable.

Tell Me Something I Don’t Know

You probably could have guessed that these are areas where the rich make money and get richer. But what you don’t know is that it’s not done in quite the way you might have thought. The rich do things differently, and that’s why they succeed in wealth creation. The key to wealth creation success is learning how to invest money in these areas in a way that is planned, well-thought out, and sustainable. That is what the rich really do differently, and that is precisely the reason you need to have a great wealth creation program to guide you to make money sustainably. When you can do that, you can really be wealthy, not just have money for the time being.

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!
