Continuing on in our discussion from yesterday, I’d like to talk more about the importance of awareness in regards to our financial emotional state and attitude—those conscious and subconscious opinions and attitudes we form around money from the tenderest of ages and throughout life until we come to the realisation about what money really is.

An Ounce Of Awareness

They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and it’s much the same with respect to your emotional financial state. If you are aware that it is your emotional state and attitude that is undercutting your financial success, then you can correct that attitude and keep it from continuing to rule your life. You may be thinking right now that it’s a little too late for prevention—after all, this is a point built upon the fact that we need to forgive ourselves our attitudes about money and wealth so that we can move on; so isn’t it a little too late to prevent that attitude and financial mindset from forming?

A Pound Of Cure

It may (or may not, depending on your experiences, financial education, and upbringing) be too late to prevent any negative attitudes from forming, but it is not too late to prevent further harm. By correcting your situation now, you can literally change your financial future. You can prevent a life of continued financial struggle; you can prevent a life of continued self-sabotage; you can mold your own future by molding a realistic attitude and mindset toward money and wealth; you can shorten your wealth creation journey; you can give yourself the one singular tool you need to succeed and be wealthy!

No, you cannot go back and rewrite the past and prevent what has already occurred; but you can prevent continued struggle. The cure starts with the connection and the awareness and honesty about what you’ve really been feeling. That awareness and correction from this point forward sets the stage for the entire rest of your life.

Celebrate! Celebrate what? Anything you want. Anything you can.

Celebrate Success

Sometimes as you work to create wealth and achieve financial prosperity you become so overly focused on the task at hand that you lose focus of the whole reason for creating wealth in the first place—that reason being personal freedom and enjoyment. When that happens, you begin to run the risk of burning out and losing motivation to continue your hard work. That is why it is important to stop along the way and celebrate your success, and reward yourself for your efforts and progress. Anything, small or large, is cause for celebration. Even if it’s not obvious what you should be celebrating, take the time to find something positive and enjoy the fruits of your labor. A few examples to get you started follow.

Celebrate Wealth

You have wealth. Whether you are beginning and it is small, or you have been at this for some time and your wealth is now large, it is there. Celebrate the fact your wealth is growing and you are that much closer to financial freedom.

Celebrate Positivity

Celebrate your new mindset, or continued mindset, of positivity, dedication, and success. It is no small task to master a change for the better, and this is certainly cause for celebration. After all, your personal mindset is the one thing that will pave your way for financial success. Celebrate that for all it is worth!

Celebrate Life

Celebrate living. Celebrate the great people and the abilities you have. Celebrate your decision to do better for you and yours. Celebrate life! Celebrate the gift of your daily experience here, and make the most of it. Enjoy your life!

Celebrate The Future

Why wait to celebrate? Celebrate now the places that you are going and the things that you are doing. Too often in life we rely on a system of rewards, with the result being that we never feel as though we’ve arrived. You don’t have to live like that. Be confident that you can and will create wealth, and celebrate the future today.

Taking the time out to celebrate your accomplishments now is a very motivating thing. Motivation is important to help you achieve your goals and go beyond. Make your journey an enjoyable one, and give yourself all the due credit that you deserve.

We started to touch on this subject the other day when we were talking about abundance mentality versus scarcity mindset and where you would be when your wealth arrived. The topic today is living in the present.

The Wealth Present

Because wealth is something we are trying to achieve, something we are trying to better and increase, we tend to think of it as something for the future. Obviously to a very large extent wealth is something in the future, but it is also something in your present, and you cannot deny that, either. Denying it and/or not living in the present only causes an undue amount of stress and longing.

Everyone has wealth in their life—right now, in the present. Acknowledging that prevents that issue of undue longing, along with others, and also helps you to capitalize on your mindset and the Law of Attraction and other wealth-building principles. Remember that wealth can take many forms, so if you try hard enough you will find it in your life right now, giving you a starting point to build on.

Positive In The Present

The greatest thing that acknowledging all wealth now does is it puts you in a positive state of mind. As we know, that positive mindset is integral to wealth and financial success. You do yourself a great deal of good and attract more positivity and success to you just through the acknowledgment of what you have and what you have built as you’ve progressed.

The other thing that you accomplish when you do this is you stop wasting the precious time of your life. Life is a gift to be shared and enjoyed, and you should be living it to the best of your ability each and every day. What sense is it to wallow in despair now and to hope that something better will come of that? That is entirely contrary to what you are working to achieve.

As we work to create wealth we need to look toward the future to set and work towards our larger goals; but we also need to live in the present. Wealth is a lifestyle, not a one-off occurrence that comes and goes. Be wealthy now, be wealthy in the future, and take every gift this life gives you.

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!

I don’t have to tell you that this is the time of year when we all start resolving to live better. It’s the time of year when we start putting our thoughts and plans for wealth creation into high gear, resolving to make this the year that we finally “make it.” These are the days when we take that deep breath, get ready for the big plunge, and decide to put our heads down and finally do what it takes to achieve that financial success that will make the difference in our lives.

Noble Plans For A New Life

These are all very noble plans and goals. I do more than hope that this is the year you achieve financial success and freedom. If you make your rounds around my blogs, you’ll see that I’ve been working on many posts of encouragement and support, including many money-making resources. As we dive into all of these, though, I’d like to take a look back at some old advice so as to achieve the best possible level of success with your efforts and hard work.

More Than Money

Much as we focus on wealth creation on this blog, making money is not all that we are about here. This blog, as regular readers will know, if about building wealth for a better life, based largely on Jamie McIntyre’s mindset philosophies and his work through the 21st Century Academy.

What is key to know about these programs is that they are not just about the money. In fact, were money not such a predominant factor in life it would probably be included very little in it. In effect, Jamie McIntyre’s programs are about life success. In the modern world, that means making money. But it does not only mean making money.

Money is a wonderful thing to have. In today’s world, it is what determines how much personal freedom you have. But a successful life requires more than just knowing how to make money. That is why, for the coming New Year, for all your goals and plans; my wish for you is that you will approach it with a whole life view. If you do, I’m sure you have found what I and so many other 21st Century Academy grads have found—that financial success is something that comes far easier when put into the context of the whole, and not focused on as the sole objective.
