Wealth Creation Blog

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.

We’ve established that there is no reason to start at the bottom with wealth creation—that with a little effort, you can hoist yourself years ahead and cut years off your journey to wealth. Let’s talk a little bit more about how that can be done.

Bottoms Up

To start at the bottom of the wealth creation ladder would be silly with all the excellent resources that you have at hand. You see, building wealth has been a goal of man for centuries; this is not a new concept, and many have walked in your shoes before. Not all have walked far enough, in fact most have not, but enough have so that we are able to enjoy these resources today.

These resources are what enables you to jump ahead and achieve personal prosperity and financial freedom faster and easier. Many of those who have walked before, many of the most successful, intelligent, and insightful wealth creators, have developed resources that will speed and guide your process—forget trial and error, forget struggling and guessing.

Early Wealth Resources

I suppose wealth development resources probably reach back for many hundreds of years, but the concept really started taking shape during the 1800′s with timeless classics like Wallace Wattles’ The Science of Getting Rich (which you might know better as The Secret or The Secret Law of Attraction). Napoleon Hill’s wealth and empowerment classic, Think and Grow Rich (available free for download from me in the updated version, Mindset Mastery) was not far behind. Both of these early resources are timeless, capturing the very basics of wealth creation—the mindset, attitude, and more that never changes as a basic need for creating wealth.

After these two came many great modern writers who you will recognize; names like Robert Kiyosaki, Anthony Robbins, [Name Withheld] and others (see a more complete list of my favorites in my life’s story on my SeanRasmussen.com blog). In addition, many of these wealth experts have developed courses and step-by-step strategies for investment and wealth creation, which will propel you decades forward into the future without having to reinvent the wheel.

So you see, creating wealth is not nearly as complex as you think it is. Make some of these guys your evening reading, dedicate your energy to establishing real wealth for yourself, and jump ahead of the pack just by knowing where the good resources are.

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about this, so it’s about time for a reminder (unless you’re new here, and in that case welcome!). The topic? The simplicity of wealth creation.

That’s So Simple!

“That’s so simple!”

It’s what I hear time and again when I talk to people about what it takes to create wealth. They want to know the key, and I tell them—creating wealth is a simple matter of changing your mindset to one of positivity. If you want to be rich, you have to change your attitude and develop the millionaire mindset. You need to capitalize the Law of Attraction and attract positivity and success and money to you.

Simple, right? It really is.

You, Me, Everyone

Creating wealth and achieving financial freedom really is simple. It’s not a matter of how well educated you are or what you were given or how and where you grew up; it’s a matter of setting your mind to the task, focusing on positive wealth and what money can do for you, and stopping your negative, destructive ways of thinking (even those you don’t recognize you have).

I do not make this stuff up, folks. Absolutely every wealth expert will say the same thing: mindset and attitude are the keys to wealth creation. From historical figures like Wallace Wattles and Napoleon Hill to today’s experts like [Name Withheld], John Demartini, Anthony Robbins, and many more…this is the one thing they all agree on. Therefore, if you can develop that mindset, you can be rich and prosperous!

Something else you should note that is worthy of a reminder is that it does not take anything special to be able to do this—just a brain, and you all have that. Everyone has the potential to be rich, you just have to start developing that key wealthy mindset in earnest. Good news, and a great future ahead for you!

The term “abundance mentality” is credited to author Stephen Covey, although it appears in many, many other places since it has been popularized in wealth and success circles. It is another way of describing the same type of mindset that success masters like Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles, [Name Withheld], and many other modern success communicators illustrated. The good news is, it’s not overly difficult to have, as long as you can keep focused on the fact that you want the abundance mentality.

Plenty To Go Around

Here is a good basic summary of the abundance mentality, courtesy of Wikipedia:

“…a person believes there are enough resources and success to share with others…It is commonly contrasted with the scarcity mindset, which is founded on the idea that, given a finite amount of resources, a person must hoard their belongings and protect them from others. Individuals with an abundance mentality are supposed to be able to celebrate the success of others rather than be threatened by it.”

If you think of this mindset in terms of creating wealth, it’s easy to see how developing an abundance mentality will be more beneficial than maintaining its opposite, the “Scarcity Mindset”. Apply it to the Law of Attraction and think about what you will be drawing to you—abundance, success, mutual respect and goodwill. Consider applying its opposite, and I fear to think how much struggle you’ll be inviting into your life!

Taking Sides

It’s not hard to figure out how people come to live life in the scarcity mindset, but it is a sad state of affairs. Think how much happier we would all be if we all believed in the abundance mindset, and all lived life with a positive and generous spirit. That’s the world I want to be living in—and so it’s the world I work hard to create!

The prospect of creating wealth is empowering. Just knowing that you have the real capability of becoming rich and financially free gives you that “on top of the world” feeling that you are setting off in unchartered territory. In a lot of ways that will be true—no one else will pursue wealth in just the way that you do; but in reality, you are far from being the first person to build wealth, or go from “rags to riches” as the saying goes.

A History Of Success

We’ve seen real wealth success stories all through the ages. The concept of developing the millionaire mindset or succeeding simply through thought and attitude is not new. Historic writers like Napoleon Hill (from whom came Mindset Mastery) and Wallace Wattles (the man who gave us the Secret Law of Attraction) are historic proof of rags to riches success, and there have been many others, myself included, who have become self-made wealth-builders. Across all nations and times, regular people have made it big and enjoyed the financially free life that most people think is just a dream.

Why Burst Your Bubble?

So why do I burst your bubble with this knowledge? Why not let you feel like the conqueror of the world? (Which you still are, by the way) Only for this reason: to give you the support to know that it is indeed possible for a regular guy or girl like you to set your mind to wealth and success and achieve it. To prove to you that this is not at all an exercise in futility, and that you can certainly achieve the same prosperity as any other on the face of this earth.

Still A Minority

You may not be the first, but you are still one of a select group. That is the select group of regular people who have the courage and determination to know that they can succeed and be wealthy, and then go after it. You should be very proud of yourself for that fact, and give yourself a hug pat on your back. Take comfort in knowing that wealth and prosperity is attainable, that the path is there for you to follow, and be proud that you care enough about yourself to follow it!
