It is obvious that while some people find making money as easy as breathing in and out, others feel doomed to remain poor for all eternity. The fact is that there are specific reasons as to why some people never manage to become any wealthier than their current financial level.

Failure to Acquire Financial Intelligence

Financial education is the number one thing that separates people who are wealthy and those who remain poor. Anything that you fail to learn about money management can very well turn out to be your downfall. When you know how to earn, manage and multiply money, you have the power to move past poverty and on to the riches that you desire.

Pride Barricade

Many people allow pride to stand in the way of their financial freedom. Some people fail to humble themselves to earning a small salary and others are too proud to market their way to millions. Pride can keep you from reading valuable books and attending inspirational seminars and workshops, especially those that are hosted or presented by younger individuals. You must be humble and allow the wealth to flow to you.

Flawed Beliefs

The wrong frame of mind is one of the biggest barriers on the road to financial freedom. The belief that only lucky people are able to create wealth will lead you in the wrong direction and keep you from gaining the wealth that you desire. Thinking that there is no way for you to become rich is a surefire way to keep you poor.

Failure to Focus

If you have a clear purpose, you will be able to succeed even as you travel down the roughest roads. If you have no definite purpose, you will most definitely fall by the wayside, no matter how smooth the path. Stay focused to brighten your financial future. If you do not take the time to plan for your wealth, you might as well plan to remain poor.

“Stop us if this sounds familiar: A very lucky person wins the lottery and expects life to change for the better, but instead, things go horribly wrong.”

This is the entry line in this article at Yahoo’s ‘The Buzz‘ by Mike Krumboltz. I know that if you are a regular follower here at the Wealth Creation blog, that this will sound familiar to you, because it’s a major point of discussion; at least, the larger issue is, and that is that it takes more than just money to be wealthy.

Callie’s Riches To Rags Story

The ‘Buzz’ story is one out of the UK about a young girl who, at 16 years old, won the lottery to the tune of three million dollars. Now, just six short years later, she has only about the equivalent of $32,000 left, and nothing to show for it save for a grossly overpriced wardrobe and way too much partying, drugging, and cosmetic surgery behind her. What could have set this young girl up for life has become a tragedy to her, a nightmare that she now wishes never even happened. She says she truthfully wishes she never even won the lottery, and if she knew then what she knows now, she would have given the money back.

Sounds ludicrous from the outside, doesn’t it? Perhaps but it all goes to show that it takes so much more than money to be wealthy, happy, and financially free.

What If We All Were Wealth-Educated?

How different would this story be if we were all given the sort of financial education that we should have? The kind that could really serve us in life? How much better off would each and every one of us be if someone had stepped in years ago and taught us how to manage money and use it to build wealth and build a life?

If there are two things that we should learn from people like Callie, they are this:

1. It takes more than money to be wealthy; and
2. A good, early financial education can make all the difference in the world—so teach your children well (even as you learn yourself—it is never too late)!

Finding the time to schedule your wealth creation appointment is probably going to be the hardest part of setting one. Who has extra time in their day? Not many of us, especially if we are attending to all the important parts of it and balancing out our lives and schedules. Nevertheless, with a little prioritisation and schedule modification, you can find the time to dedicate to yourself and your own financial prosperity.

Tips For Finding Wealth Creation Time

Time is hard to come by; so sometimes, you can’t just find it, you have to make it. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

• Earlier Riser. Here’s one option, which is usually one of the simplest (not necessarily the easiest, as giving up an hour of sleep isn’t always!)—get up an hour earlier, and suddenly you’ve created an hour of new time you didn’t have before. That’s an unclaimed hour that didn’t exist in your schedule before, and so is not already claimed by some other obligation or activity. Just make sure that you allot this time to wealth creation from the start, and don’t ever allow those other obligations to overtake it, which is all too easy to do.

• Night Owl. Some people are just not morning people. Some people just function much better in the later hours of the day. So if getting up an hour earlier is just not in your genetic makeup, try going to bed an hour later instead. Just like rising early, this gives you an hour of unclaimed time that you can dedicate (again, from the start!) to building your financial prosperity program.

Making Sleep-Schedule Changes Work

Now, no one will say it’s easy to just change your sleep schedule and give up those precious sleeping hours. It may take a little doing. The best ways to make this work are to set your schedule for sleeping and stick to it—even on the weekends; the “experts” recommend that you maintain a regular sleep schedule and let your body adjust to it and stay adjusted to it. You can even get used to doing without that hour if you train your body to it and stick to it. Don’t expect the adjustment to happen overnight, give yourself a week or two to get used to it. These may not be your most productive weeks, but at least they set the stage for more productive days ahead.

Come back tomorrow and we’ll talk about more possibilities that you don’t necessarily need to lose sleep over.

On the one hand, you’ll hear me say (repeatedly) that there is no way to “get rich quick.” I’ll stand by that stance, as it is absolutely true. However, there is a way to get rich quicker, and that is to find yourself a good program for wealth creation and get an effective, efficient, financial education.

Information Overload

You see, there is an absolute proverbial ton of excellent information out there that will tell you what you need to build wealth. From books from the top scholars and wealth creators to articles and seminars and wealth creation homestudy courses, there is an absolute abundance of information on the subject. Add to that pile the plethora of scams and schemes and trash, and you have a situation primed to overwhelm you and dash your chances before you even get started. Even looking at just the real, viable, reputable and proven information alone, there is a definite case of information overload going on.

Starting Ahead Of The Curve

Those people who do manage to wade their way through that overload of information often spend years doing it. Years! That’s a long time to spend in research when you could buck that trend, start ahead of the pack, and be taking action toward creating wealth. In a matter of months, with the right wealth creation program, you could be reaping the benefits and meeting your first-line goals for building wealth and living financially free. You just have to know that you do not need to “know it all” and choose just one or a few of the best of the best from that pile of information.

This is what the best wealth education programs do. They compile the best of the best, and deliver to you one message, one system, and one reliable strategy for reforming your entire lifestyle and meeting your financial goals. They take away the hurdle of information overload, give you a definite and defined starting point, and then continue to lead you down the path to success and financial freedom. None of this happens overnight, but with your commitment it will happen. The best part is, you won’t have to feel guilty about being impatient, because finally what you might consider impatience, is really efficiency, and it is the best way to make your efforts pay off, and in record time to boot!

Get rich quick—it’s the dream of everyone, isn’t it? Too bad it really is too good to be true. We all know full well by now that there is no such thing as a viable and sustainable way to “get rich quick.” Even the lotto isn’t a way to get rich quick, because without the mindset and education to manage a big windfall of cash most people end up worse off than they were in record time. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the statistics for lottery winners around the world. Must be that there really is something to this mindset stuff, huh?

But I digress, and without getting too cheeky, let’s get back to the topic at hand. How to…

Get Rich Quick

Okay, I keep saying that and teasing you with it, even though I’ve already made it clear that there is no such thing. Any of you who have been around here for a while know flat-out that neither I nor Jamie McIntyre would ever claim his program to be such a thing. We’ve both reiterated over and over that these things take time and a commitment—real effort! But there is a way to at least lessen the time and the length of the journey; to make building wealth as efficient and quick as it can be. So what’s The Secret?

The Secret To Fast Wealth Creation

There I go, making false promises again. There really is no Secret at all (well, there is, but that’s a different discussion, isn’t it?).

The fastest route to real, viable, sustainable wealth is to focus in on the mindset development and financial learning tasks at hand and to go with a guide that can get you there. In other words, to go with a proven, focused, dedicated wealth creation program that will prepare you in every way—from mindset development to investment strategy implementation.

This is what you get when you go with a program like Jamie McIntyre’s 21st Century Academy. You see, Jamie didn’t exactly take the short-road to wealth; his was a longer journey. But then he compiled the knowledge he collected over ten years to shorten that journey for you and anyone else involved in his programs. He saw the need and the simplicity of wealth creation, and he gave us the goods. It is programs like his that get you as close to quick wealth as possible. But with one notable difference—the potential to be so much more, and to teach you how to be wealthy for life!
