Wealth Creation Blog

We may be impacted by outside influences, but that does not mean that we have to let everything or everyone we come into contact with decide our fates for us. There may be a world of buzz around you, but you are always the one in control of your wealth, your future, and your personal prosperity.

White Noise

Think of that buzz as ‘white noise’. It’s the action and noise that always surrounds you, but that you can select out and choose not to pay attention to. You cannot stop the outside from bearing on your life. You need to interact with people and businesses and outside forces in order to make money and build wealth. That is even true if you are working from home or in a remote location; at some point, you have to come into contact with outsiders. When you do, you cannot control their actions and words—so therefore you cannot control the negativity that they may impart to you, either.

What you can do is choose not to let the refuse impact you. You do not have to take to heart anything that anyone else says—not even, really, what I say. You are in control of your own destiny, emotion, and attitude—your mindset!

The Best Of The Rest

Yes, there will always be noise and there is no changing that fact. Your job for your own prosperous well-being is to sort through the clutter and selectively absorb only the good and useful. As I said, you don’t have to listen to me, even, but I would hope that I am one of the ‘good guys’ worth absorbing (if not—what are you doing here!? ).

You should absorb positive, prosperous, progressive outside impacts—anything that you believe will be helpful to you and help you to progress, make money, and build wealth. The rest, though, is useless to you, and it needs to go. Be selective in what you allow to influence your prosperity. Be in control. Be wealthy!

Stress and pressure—one of the big impediments to success and progress. Everyone seems to be under loads of stress and pressure today, and too often people cannot get out from under it to make anything better of their situation. Ironic, since what brings people to wealth creation is trying to alleviate that and make a better life for themselves, and so many cannot ever get past it enough to make the time to improve their lives and finances.

Evaluate Your Stressors

Here’s something to think about—stress is just another emotion. Pressure is, too. These are both feelings that we have; they are not real, tangible obstacles. Just as we can learn a better attitude and mindset, we can learn to minimize stress and pressure by refusing to let it have power. I think it’s hard for people to think of stress and pressure as a simple emotion because it has a very physical element to it; but that’s an element that comes out of our inability to put it in check. People who learn management techniques like meditation, focus, breathing techniques, and so on do not feel so physically weighted by stress.

Where Does Stress Live?

Of course what would be even more effective than dealing with stress is preventing stress. If we take stock and reevaluate our lives, we find that so much of the stress and pressure we’ve subjected ourselves to is only our own doing. Often, that pressure, and the resulting stress, lives only in our heads.

Take, for example, your daily to do list. It may be either written or mental, but we all have things we plan to do each day. When they don’t get done, we tend to feel pressured and stressed. Now, some of those things may really need to get done today, for whatever reason; others are things we’ve convinced ourselves need doing today, but really can wait. No one but our own selves knows that this list exists, so no one will be upset if it’s not complete—except for us, because we’ve piled too much on ourselves, again.

Really stop and think about the pressure you put yourself under on a daily basis. Reevaluate the “have to do’s” and see if they are as pressing and deserving of your emotional energy as you think; chances are they’re not. If you need to, maybe keep two lists—one of pressing concerns, and one to go to if there is time and energy left at the end of the day. Focus your time and energy, relieve yourself some pressure, and you’ll be amazed at how much more gets done and how good you feel doing it—at how much quicker you’re making strides toward your personal prosperity and success goals!

Letting go of the old attitudes and habits that hold you back is just plain hard. We’ve established that. Even once this is done it’s hard to keep them cut so that you don’t slowly slip back into your old ways. It may take some fairly drastic measures to make those new habits stick.

Burning Bridges

You’ve probably heard the advice throughout your life, not to “burn your bridges” so that you always have that avenue of escape to fall back on. The problem is that when we have an escape route back to something comfortable and familiar we’re too quick to take it. When we come up against obstacles and difficulties, we can easily decide the reward is not worth the effort, or that the task at hand is just “impossible” and turn around and go right back to where we came from. To avoid this temptation, sometimes it is in your best interest to cut those ties that bind and burn those bridges. Sometimes it’s good not to be able to return from whence you came. That “safety” is not always favorable in the light of wealth and progress.

Force Yourself Forward

Without an escape route, there is only one place left for you to go—forward. No matter what happens, you will have to find a way to persevere and find a solution that meets your end—that results in wealth and personal prosperity! Yes, it’s a difficult course of action at first, but often you’ll find yourself relieved when you release yourself from commitment to old weighty habits, actions, and attitudes that were poisoning your success. Once you’ve adjusted to the new you, you’ll come to understand that it was all for the better and you’ll welcome the change and new-found dedication and perseverance.

You understand that over the span of your life you have relinquished too much control, and that that is limiting your ability to achieve personal prosperity; but what can you do about it? Most of us have what we consider to be good reasons for that loss of control—we’ve been taught to play by the rules of the establishment, we have real needs that need to be met by that nine to five or eight to seven paycheck, and the people we’ve been listening to seem to speak reason in the face of all of this. So is there really anything we can do about this?

Taking Back The Controls

There certainly is. There are many, many things that can be done, but we’ll start the list with a few.

First and foremost one of the most important things you can do is get educated! Start reading and researching and learning; enroll in a good wealth creation course; learn new ways to make money, perhaps through online business; take a seminar or workshop in wealth creation, personal success and empowerment, or to learn how to build that online profit stream.

Next, and equally important, prioritise you and your finances over the bank and others. Put your savings first and start building your power by building the money that backs you. With banks and investments, money talks—and the more you have backing you, the more anxious they’ll be to listen!

Another extremely important factor in regaining control of your life and finance is to correct the mindset and attitudes that are holding you back. Find out what you really think about money and wealth, and then reeducate yourself. Give yourself the confidence and stamina to succeed. Your financial mindset is the very foundation of your life and prosperity, but you’ll be surprised to know how few of us have this right from the start!

Simple Starts

These may sound like simple starts to correcting a problem so pervasive in your life, but I assure you they are essential. You see, there really are no huge, all-encompassing problems facing us. There are difficulties that are entirely surmountable, and actually very simple reasons why people do not succeed financially. Those aren’t readily publicized by the entities that are making money off the average person, but success and prosperity really is simple; all you need is to educate yourself and commit to change and progress. It’s an enlightening experience taking back the seat of control, and one that is much, much simpler than you might think.

In all of your planning and acting to create wealth, what you’ll find to be the hardest part of it all is the letting go. You’re a creature of habit and those old habits die hard, but there are a number of old habits and hindrances that will just have to go in order for you to be successful.

Like What?

That’s a pretty open-ended question with a lot of potential answers (and do feel free to offer your thoughts), but for starters consider some of the larger culprits that create problems for wealth creation.

• Things learned. Too much of what we have learned is not useful to us, or worse, is detrimental our financial success. Let go of the old learned attitudes that are hindering you, and take on some new, more useful learning for wealth and financial freedom.
• Conditioning. Too much of what we do we do by habit and default, without even thinking. That is in part what perpetuates our poor money attitudes and financial struggle. Let go of all the conditioning that is holding you back, think outside the box to deal with your current financial situation and recreate it to be one of more success and control.
• Fear. Over time you begin to develop a fear of the establishment and their rules, and so you only dare play by them. But that negates creative financial thinking, and keeps you very much limited as to what you can achieve and build in terms of wealth. Think about it—the “big guys,” the rich guys (Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, and others) do not live in fear and make their own rules. The establishment doesn’t necessarily always like them because they don’t make as much money on savvy creative financial thinkers as on the little guy who bends to their will. And the only tools they have keeping you in place is fear of their threatened repercussions—but how real or worrisome do those “consequences” really need to be?

This should be some illustration for you as to what needs to be let go of. Think smart, let the right attitudes prevail, and wealth will come easily to you. The hardest part is in letting go and stepping out of what you think is your comfort zone, to gain the much more rewarding zone of comfort and personal prosperity that lies ahead.
