Wealth Creation Blog

We’ve talked about why we should be making wealth creation a shared effort, so now the question turns to how you can do that, particularly if the people immediately surrounding you are critical of the idea and your goals. We’ve had this discussion in the past, but it’s a pretty important topic when you consider what’s at stake, so it never hurts to revisit it.

Surround Yourself With Wealthy-Minded People

You also might recall us talking about how the attitude of the people around you affects your personal wealth creation. If you surround yourself with poverty or financial stress, that is going to impact on you. You’ll be adding undue stress into your work as you work to build wealth. So the first thing you want to do, to whatever extent possible, is to try to surround yourself with people who are also interested in wealth and achievement, or at least are of a positive mind in that regard even if they are not actively seeking wealth. Open up to those you care about and educate them, bringing them along with you on your journey.

Of course, in our daily lives there is a limit to how much we can control our physical environment and the people who come into it. Gravitate toward wealthy minded, successful people but just be prepared to limit the amount that you allow people of other persuasions to influence you.

A World Of Support Online

This is one of the biggest advantages of the Internet in my opinion. Online, you can connect with people of similar interests and find communities of support through wealth creation forums, dedicated wealth creation websites, blogs, and social media. You’ll find that you have a lot more control over who you do and do not allow into your cyber space, and so can build a highly effective online mastermind group of people all working to do just what you are—and sharing information and positive attitude along the way. The only caveat here is not to try to cover them all, but to find a few that you like, with a comfortable, supportive, enjoyable community, and focus your efforts there.

At first it can seem like you’re the only person you know who is putting in this kind of focused effort to achieve financial freedom, but you’ll find there are a lot more people open to the idea and wanting to learn once you start sharing your experience and goals. You’ll also find that to be a place of comfort and support and positivity that you will look forward to coming to, and look forward to sharing the gifts you have as you learn from others.

Yesterday I introduced you to [Name Withheld], my friend and mentor, and Peak Performance life coach. I sent you over to start the series of Peak Performance interviews with him at my blog. Today, I’d like to explore one of those videos, and one of my favorite concepts from this part of the interview.

Be, Do, Have

One of my favorite [Name Withheld] strategies or concepts is the concept of Be, Do, Have. I find that this concept resonates with many people, and makes such perfect and simple sense that it is easy to apply—a real kick-start to wealth creation! I encourage you to head over to my blog and watch this [Name Withheld] video installment, as we begin to discuss it here. I’d like to break this down into each of its three parts for the purposes of discussion here on this blog, starting with, “Be”.

Be A Wealthy Person

The entire concept of Be, Do, Have relies on all three pieces. Most people even get that—they get that you have to do (take action) in order to have and to be what you want to be. The problem is that we go about all in the wrong order—we assume that the first step is to take action toward achieving our goal. We try to do so that we can have to make us be what we want to be (wealthy, in this case, or financially free if you prefer).

Don’t You Have To Do To Be?

That doesn’t seem so bad; everyone preaches the necessity of action, and indeed that is true. The trouble comes as [Name Withheld] explains in the videos: you can’t take the necessary actions if you do not already believe yourself to be that person, so you will never have what a wealthy person has. Why? Very simple. Because you act according to who you believe you are. If you are an unhealthy person, you will take unhealthy actions. If you are not wealthy, you will not take the actions a wealthy person takes, and so, wealth will evade you.

So the first step in the process is to visualize yourself as a wealthy person. See yourself as being a wealthy person first, and you will start thinking in terms of wealth and achievement, and start living up to your own image of yourself—a wealthy image for a true wealth creator!
