More than anything, wealth creation centers around mindset and the thought process. All but the newest of readers here know that if there is one thing we focus on it is mindset and building a mindset of success, for success. Anything that we discuss here in terms of building wealth and making money and becoming rich starts with thoughts. It’s a simple, yet proven, effective method of creating wealth.

The concept is so simplistic that many people find it hard to accept as the way to financial freedom. It’s not unusual for someone to say that they have tried to think their way to wealth, and just had no results, so the concept must be flawed. The answer to that is that the concept is not flawed—but you do have to take care with its implementation. There is more to the wealth creation mindset than having intermittent, fleeting thoughts of wealth.

Thoughts Vs. Dreams

One thing to be cognizant of is the fact that there is a difference between what thoughts and dreams are. It’s a very fine line, and certainly dreaming rich can’t hurt, but your thoughts are more solid and actionable than what dreams are. Dreams are elusive and not given the same weight in reality that real thoughts are. Dreams are intermittent and ever-changing. They are less controlled and less controllable.

You can start with a dream of wealth, but to make that a reality you have to move on and develop those dreams into thoughts. You have to make those thoughts the foundation of your life, plans, and goals so that they have the ability to grow into financial wealth. When your thoughts are not producing results it is time to reevaluate them and find out—are you really thinking wealthy thoughts or just daydreaming about being rich?

It’s not enough to know what you want to be. You have to be what you want to be. Mindset is more than about thinking about becoming, it is about learning to actually be that person.

Don’t Just Think Wealthy Thoughts, Be Wealthy

If your goal is to become wealthy, you have to start now and be wealthy. As long as wealth is limited to something that you will be in the future, you will not achieve that goal—because wealth will always be something that remains in the future, much like the many things on that endless ‘to do’ list that there never seems to be time to do.

If you are ever to be wealthy, you have to start today to be that person. You have to change your mindset to one not only of future wealth creation, but of actual success and wealth. You have to start believing, knowing, that you are what you want to be. You have to stop thinking and acting like a person that wishes and wants and start acting and thinking like a person that is and does.

You Are What You Think You Are

You are whatever it is that you think you are—you are whoever you tell yourself that you are. This is why it is imperative that you first be that person. Because that is who you will continue to be. If you are the person who is living in moderate means now, struggling and financially stressed, that is the person you will continue to be. And that is the house you will build. You will not create wealth; you will only create a stronger house of financial stress and moderate success.

If you are the person who is wealthy, that is the person you will continue to be. The house you build will be one of wealth. You will create a stronger house of wealth.

Poor people are not wealthy people, and wealthy people are not poor people. You cannot be two things at once! So you have to choose today which one you will be. And then you have to be that person. You can change who you are, but you have to elicit that change. Start today and be wealthy!

The last post, if you recall, discussed the fact that what you see in one wealth creation program or book, you are likely to see again elsewhere. The reason is that this is what works! It’s to be taken as proof, just as you would accept anything as accurate that you can back up with another source. This leads me to address another question that might come up.

If This Stuff Is Everywhere, Why Do I need A Financial Empowerment Program?

It’s true that over time you could collect the majority of the information that you will get from a good wealth creation program like Jamie McIntyre’s if you just read and researched on you own. Eventually, you could get there. After all, that is essentially what Jamie McIntyre did. But there are some very real reasons why it is to your strict advantage to undertake your new financial education by using a wealth-building program.

The Work Is Done For You

First off, financial empowerment programs have done the work of research for you. It takes years to learn everything you need to know by going it alone and studying all the experts. And truth be told, not all ‘experts’ you encounter are for real. But you can trust the expert advise, education, mindset, and strategy that you are taught through proven programs.

Learn From the Experience Of Others

Wealth creation programs have the advantage of allowing you to learn from the experience of others. See where people have come from, what they’ve accomplished, and what they’ve done with what they’ve had. Find out what’s worked for others to put it to work for you.

Meeting Of The Minds

Programs like the 21st Century Academy bring the best of the best together in one place. It’s like having a meeting of the minds with some of the most successful and wealthy people in the world, all in one spot.

Support And Guidance

Books can be inspirational and informative, but they are not very supportive. When you work with real people, either in person, through homestudy, or online, you have real, live, support available to you.

You could go it alone and pursue wealth creation on your own, but it would doubtless take you much longer, and you would lack the benefits that proven programs offer. I encourage you to save yourself time, money, and frustration, and let the successes and work of others work to your distinct advantage.

A lot of what we learn in wealth creation programs, including the 21st Century Academy programs and courses, is something that we come across again and again. At least, if you run in circles of financial empowerment you will. The more you read, the more you research, the more you watch or listen to, the more wealth building information that you access, the more you will see similarities and repetition. What can we take from this?

Great Minds Think Alike

Great minds think alike. There’s probably no more succinct way to say it. The reason that you will find much of what you see taught again and again as you pursue the various avenues of wealth creation again and again is that the people who have succeeded in creating wealth and gaining financial freedom have done so based on solid foundations of money, investment, money management, and mindset. Basically, they get it. And not surprisingly, what’s worked for one works for another. It’s the very reason that one person can teach another how to become rich—because it’s the same for all. You just need to learn how to do it.

Proof, Not Mindless Repetition

What we can take from this is that the recurrence of certain concepts of wealth and financial control are proof that these methods, strategies, and fundamentals work. This is not a case where uncreative minds come together and repeat what someone else has said. This is a case where groups of successful individuals have made money, built wealth, and passed on what it is they learned for the success of others.

If you’re doubt it, you have only to look at the track record of the one who is telling it to you—the expert behind the strategy or theory. Look for his or her individual success. It should tell you all you need to know to know who is really a leader in wealth education, and who is just following the masses.

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.
