You can give your child (children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and others) the greatest educational gift of all. After love and support, this is the most effective thing that you could do to secure the lives of the children in your life.

The Gift

That gift is, of course, the gift of positive mindset and financial attitude. It’s a simple gift to give, but it will set those children up for the most prosperous and free future possible. Imagine if someone had given you such a gift, how much better off you would be.

Giving the gift of positive mindset and financial attitude is easy. There is no formal course necessary, and it costs you nothing but time and meaningful interaction. All you need to do is talk with your children and teach them along the way and during those learning moments of life. You’ll find the opportunities to impart these gifts are many and varied. That simplicity and accessibility does not demean their importance, though; this is the best thing you could do to secure your child’s financial future.

A Better Foot Forward

This is directly related to the last couple of conversations we had, where we talked about how the direct and indirect money lessons and attitudes and opinions towards money have affected your life and your ability to successfully build wealth. Most people are raised thinking that money is ‘evil’ or is not ‘everything’ and that there is essentially no use striving for it—all only because of the justifications we’ve been raised with for not having it. These are the financial attitudes that you have to work to correct now, and we all know that change as an adult is easier said than done.

Imagine, though, how easily you could prevent that sort of attitude and financial mindset for your child or children. Imagine how much better off they would be from the very beginning of their independent lives if you did. Imagine your children living an entire life of wealth creation without any of the mental or emotional roadblocks that you had to come to terms with.

You could give your child the most useful financial gift of all without even spending a dime. Just with your time and attention and positive example, the children who touch your life could prosper each and every day of their lives. What a wonderful world that would be!

We’ve now talked on for a couple of posts about the symbiosis of life and wealth. That may have left you wondering one thing…who cares?

What Does This Matter?

You understand what I mean by symbiosis and the mutually beneficial relationship between money and living well. But why does it matter that you know that? As a matter of fact, you probably already knew that—it’s nothing new to tell people that they need money in order to access what they want and need in life; I’m sure you didn’t need me to explain that to you.

The reason it is important to have this knowledge and to at least recognize these kinds of financial relationships is this: that magic word, mindset (and attitude—two other paired hands).

Releasing The Financial Attitude

When you come to understand money as a tool to happiness and contented living, you can begin to stop viewing it as an evil or tool of destruction; as we’ve learned from so many wealth experts, this is exactly how we come to think of money by the time we are adults, whether we consciously believe that or intend to. Most of us do not want to believe that, but the conditioning from early on is strong. And the way to break through that is to come to terms with our mindsets and beliefs and correct them.

And so, it helps to be able (is critical, in fact) to view money as something better and more useful—something pleasant and enjoyable. Put in terms like symbiotic, money now becomes a benefit, a tool we can use, and not something that is dragging us down. It is something we can utilise, instead of being a victim to it, just as in nature when two species or organisms understand their mutually beneficial relationship and use it to their distinct advantages, rather than fight against a good thing.

When last we met, we talked about the need to make different efforts as opposed to just putting in more effort of the same, unproductive means. So today let’s talk a little bit about what those different efforts might look like.

So Many Choices…

Honestly, there is a world of options out there, and it is up to you to decide what is right for your personal wealth-building plan. Don’t let that overwhelm you, though, get excited about those myriad opportunities and let them motivate you to financial freedom!

That had to be said, but to give you some direction, start thinking about the new, different efforts that you could put in in order meet with greater success and achieve your goals.

You’ve GOT To Look At This!

One of the absolute first places you must look is to your own mindset. You can have all the best laid plans in the world, but if you do not put the mindset and attitude for success behind them, you will continue to spin your wheels.

It May Not Even Seem Broken

We all know what they say about how

“If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.”

And that is precisely what people think about their own financial attitude and mindset much of the time. They think,

“Well, I like money; I want money. I have great intentions and plans and goals. So I must have the right mindset for success.”

And they think the problem lies elsewhere.

The truth of the matter is that prior to a healthy dose of success and financial empowerment advice, most of us probably do not even realize that our mindset is our own worst enemy. Being that much of what holds us back is subconscious, we fail to see the connection at all. However, if you are like “most people,” with all the greatest plans and dreams for wealth but none of the results, it is time for you to pursue information and resources to help you understand your true mindset, and then make the changes that can make the difference.

The absolute most important thing—the “key” if you will—to financial success is the financial attitude. If you want to make the most use of your time and effort, do something new—build a stellar success mindset!

Money is just an idea. The vast majority of money is no longer backed by anything real, and hasn’t been for hundreds of years. This is one of the early lessons taught in wealth creation. Why? Does it matter if money is real or not? What good does this knowledge do for you?

Banks Make Money

As Jamie McIntyre points out, most of us have been taught to believe that governments make and control money supplies. In actuality, governments print some money, but banking systems—backed by a relatively few wealthy and powerful families—really create and control money. In turn, these money-makers are the ones who decide how much money is available and at what cost; in simplest terms, they decide how much things cost. From the earliest of financial times, strong families have gained control over the money supply and craftily created systems for lending it (at interest-accruing rates), and thus have gained control over the cost of money—which in turn determines the cost of anything you buy.

(Jamie’s materials explain this more thoroughly than I do, I urge you to read his work to learn about the idea of money in-depth and to see what impact this idea has on wealth creation.)

Does It Matter That Money Is An Idea?

Whether money is an idea or not, you still need it to live freely in this life, correct? So does it matter if you learn how money is an idea? I’m here to tell you it does—critically.

When you understand that money is an idea, you understand how money came into existence and how banks and lenders function. You understand the basic money systems that run all of wealth creation. You understand how you can win or lose with or without the help of a bank. You understand that the bank is not your only option, and that strategically you can use it to your advantage.

You also understand something else—that the supply of money, because it is just and idea and nothing real, is limitless. There are endless opportunities to create money, to create wealth, and there is no end to the amount of money out there. When you understand this, you can embrace money as just another thing that helps you live the life you want, and you allow yourself to be reconditioned in regards to money. How? Because if money is just an idea, and there is no limit to its supply, then you are not taking from the mouths of others to make yourself rich—you are just making more money and putting more into circulation for the next willing wealth creator.

Go see what Jamie Mcintyre can teach you about this idea of money. See where money came from and where you can go with it, and open the door to your financial attitude so that wealth creation is something you can embrace guilt-free and prosperously.
