Wealth Creation Blog

It has happened to almost all of use. We sign up for a credit card, for “emergencies only”. Then we find ourselves at an amazing sale three days before our next paycheck, so we charge the card. We intend to pay the card off as soon as we get that paycheck. However, by the time the paycheck gets here we have to spend it on something else, and in some cases even more on the card. Therefore, the balance is not paid off on the card. Interest is added and the vicious cycle begins and continues until next year’s entire salary will not pay off the debt.

Perhaps you are one of the people who are trying to stretch out your income as far as it will go, only to find that there is still not enough to pay off your monthly debts. Many people turn down the heat, shut off the cable and stop going out to eat. Thousands of people all around the world are lowering their living standards just so they can afford the next trip to the grocery store. Even with living standards lowered, many people find that they have to give up more and more just to make it from one day to the next.

Get Out Now

Do you feel like you are locked away in financial prison? Are you feeling out of control and suffocated? Now is the time to break free and take control. It is possible to rearrange your entire situation; all you have to do is want to. Do not expect millions of dollars to simply fall out of the sky and into your pockets. That kind of thinking will only lead to disappointment and frustration.

You have to be willing to take action. Start by drawing up a monthly budget. List all of the money you have coming in and all of the money that goes out each month. You are sure to find more ways to bring money to you and eliminate the spending that is not necessary. Once you have your finances in order, you are ready to create wealth.

I recently shared my life story at my personal blog, SeanRasmussen.com. I enjoyed many inspiring and supportive comments from friends/readers there. Some of them, quite striking and so true; like this one from Michael:

“If you always do what you have done, then you will always get what you have gotten.”
Michael, Commenter at SeanRasmussen.com

Change Your Consequence

This is not the first time these words, or similar to them, have been spoken (in fact Michael was quoting, too), but I thought he put it quite nicely and succinctly and offered a timely reminder. This is the key to improving your life. If you want things to be better, you have to take different actions than those which you have taken before.

This simple piece of quality advice can be applied to anything in your life. We think of it primarily in terms of wealth creation here, since that’s our topic, but it’s true of anything that is causing you discomfort in life.

Taking this from the perspective of the wealth creator, let’s look at some of the things that may need changing, which of course depend on your personal situation. It might be that you need to change

• Your attitude toward money
• Your financial intelligence
• Your money management practices or skills
• Your job or profession
• Your emotional intelligence, as this impacts on money, wealth, and finance whether or not you are aware of it

Leaving The Past Behind

People often resist change, because we fear the unknown. It’s not hard to understand why that is, but you have to come to terms with that and be able to face change if you want to face wealth. I think it’s fair to say that if you are here, you are probably looking for guidance towards a better financial life, and a better life overall as a result of that. That tells me that you are not happy with where you are right now, at least not entirely, and that you want something to improve and to change. Well, the same actions that got you here will only result in the same consequence. Start thinking positively today about the possibilities of change and the great benefits that change will bring to you.
