Sharing The Wealth

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

We hear things like, “share the wealth” and “redistribute the wealth” a lot—especially from politicians, who don’t seem to like to walk their talk ;). This isn’t a bad idea, and it certainly would make the world a better place. The best part of it is, you can do it without handing out a single cent of your hard-earned wealth.

How You Can Share The Wealth

You could compare this to the biblical stories about giving a man a fish versus teaching a man to fish (or woman, no sexism here!).

If you simply hand money out to people who do not know how to manage it and use it to build wealth, it will be gone in short time. However, if you teach that person how to develop his or her mindset to one of positivity and wealth, you could teach them a valuable life skill that will set them up for life. As we all know here, this is more important than giving money, as it is the real key to building wealth—having the mindset and attitude that invites wealth and financial freedom.

What You Have To Give

The best part of this is that any of us can share the wealth in this way—even those of us who are just getting started in creating wealth, who have only little nest eggs built.

Any of us here on this blog have something to give. We have knowledge. We have the knowledge of mindset and we have wealth creation resources right at our fingertips. Even just spreading this link is an act in wealth-sharing.

It does not take money to share the wealth, it just takes a small amount of effort and time (but I guarantee you it will come back to you several-fold!). I believe most people want to give, they just don’t know what they have to give. We all have gifts that we can share to help others succeed, too. Give yours and share the wealth!

Never Alone On Your Path To Wealth

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

One of the great benefits of wealth creation is that it is an endeavour which can be undertaken on your own. You, independently and with just the power of your mindset and attitude, can create wealth. You, all by yourself, have everything that it takes to create wealth. But just having what it takes and having the potential to go it alone does not mean that you have to.

A Time For Everything

As with so many things, creating wealth is one of those things that is so often made easier by the guidance, help, and support of others. When you reach out and accept the help of others you gain valuable information and insight, support and motivation, ideas and examples, or even something as simple as a sounding board to bounce ideas off of for brainstorming and planning.

Obviously there are many ways in which you can benefit from the connection with others throughout your journey to wealth. The beauty part of it, too, is that you can involve or reach out to others as much or as little as you want—you are in control of your life, time, wealth creation path, and all that goes into it.

Multiple Wealth Creation Resources

There are an abundance of wealth creation resources that will educate, help, and inspire you along the way. This blog and my other investment, money-making, and wealth creation blogs are just one such example. There are also books and seminars and courses for developing wealth. My journey started very simply with resources like these, at the very beginning with just a few books (Robert Kiyosaki and Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles being among my most recommended wealth creation authors). Another source not to be overlooked, particularly for brainstorming, motivation, and support, are wealth creation forums and membership sites.

While in your local circles you may find yourself quite alone on the path to creating wealth, online you never are. Take advantage of these priceless resources and get the support you need to build wealth and achieve the life of your dreams.

Priorities Don’t Devalue Wealth

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

There are certainly things that are more important than money, but they do not devalue money or wealth, either. So whereas in our last discussion we talked about the fact that some things did take priority over money, that does not mean that we are using that fact to undermine the value of money or to excuse our need for creating wealth.

Hand In Hand

Our last discussion on the priorities of money and mindset is not to be taken as a trade-off or replacement for wealth creation. Rather, it should be viewed as an enabler and tandem partner to wealth. What do I mean by that?

What I mean by that is just what we talked about yesterday, and so many times before—that money is a tool. Money is useful to you. It is what enables you to achieve and obtain what you want in life. It is what enables you to provide and care for those who are most important to you.

Mindset should be prioritized over money only insofar as it is necessary to create the life that you desire. Your mindset is the life you are developing—your true life. Money is just the vehicle that gets you there.

The Value Of Money

Even given all of this, it is important not to devalue money in place of valuing your mindset and attitude; both deserve your valued attention. There is a careful balance between understanding money’s place and in placing a proper life value on it. If you devalue it too much, then you wind up right back where you began, in denial of money and placing attitude and emotional hurdles in your path. If you overvalue it, you allow money to overtake your life and your life priorities, and that is not good either.

It is extremely important that you understand the true value of money in your life and in your journey to wealth. With money, it’s all about the attitude and mindset, so you need to take care to understand this now and maintain that understanding throughout your prosperous life.

Be Ready To Receive

Friday, June 19th, 2009

“The universe is often more anxious to give you what you want than you are to receive it.”

I was reminded of this quote while visiting at Nona Nita’s blog the other day (a blog recently reviewed on Do You Digg It). Take a minute and reread it, and let it sink in.

Standing In Your Own Way

The problem for many people is not that what they desire it not “out there,” or is unachievable. The difficulty is that we are not prepared to receive it. We feel as though there are roadblocks placed before us, when in fact we are the only ones who are building insurmountable walls. We deny ourselves that which we want by not being capable of receiving it when it is only a step away.

What Hinders Your Path?

32150332What does that mean? What does it mean that we are incapable of receiving what we want from the universe?

Depending on your personal situation it could mean many things, but there are some commonalities among us. Most commonly, people cannot receive what awaits them because they put up mental blocks. These can be both conscious and subconscious, and they present in many forms.

For example, a poor financial attitude is one way we block positive energy and receiving what we want. A negative subconscious that is constantly battering against our waking efforts is another. A lack of emotional intelligence, and a lack of financial intelligence are others.

You’ve probably noticed that almost all of these are grounded in mindset and attitude. Our minds and attitudes are usually our own worst enemies. Breaking free from that takes some work and usually some guidance, but it is definitely possible if you are willing. The rewards are unparalleled. When you learn to live a freer, less stressful, rewarding life and be open to the rewards that are there for you, life suddenly simplifies itself. Just making yourself capable of receiving your due will change your life remarkably.
