Wealth Creation Blog

For some people, there comes a time in their life when they decided that the life that they currently lead is not exactly as they want it. This moment of clarity can be triggered by a number of different things, such as losing a job, filing for divorce, becoming seriously ill or the death of someone close to you. For some people, they simply become tired of living the same mundane life and working unhappily at a job they hate.

The first step that you need to take toward developing the mind of a millionaire is to determine the root of your unhappiness. Many people find that loneness, lack of financial security and lack of motivation all play a major role in misery. You may have to search your soul to the very core to determine the trigger of your negativity. Once you know what is causing you to feel the way you do, you will be able to make the necessary changes and proceed on your way to creating wealth that you desire.

One of the biggest problems that people have is fear. Fear is an extremely difficult emotion to deal with and it can have a major impact on your life every day. Many people fear failure or emotional distress, while others are afraid that becoming successful will change the way people think of them or wealth will take over their lives. Feelings of fear can lead to anxiety and overpowering feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy.

If you plan to successfully create the wealth that you desire, you are going to have to face your fears. It takes courage to change your life, but everyone has what it takes to control their lives and use a positive, wealthy mindset to attract good things into their lives as soon as today.

“Our lives are not the result of random actions and events.”
–Brian Weiss

Not Left to Chance

Though spontaneity may be the spice of life, it is not the spice of a strong wealth creation plan. Chance and happenstance are not good characteristics of a solid wealth creation strategy.

Building wealth may be intended to build more freedom into your life, but that does not mean that you should go about doing that in a haphazard way. Far too many people do this, resigning themselves to the notion that they are not “set-up” well enough in life to put their money to work for them and make money from money. They think of that as being for people who were born to advantage, and not possible for them. Instead, they rely on chance and happenstance and random actions and hope for money and wealth. They hope to fall into money somehow—perhaps through an inheritance, or a big lottery win, or some other lucky stroke. They spend their lives hoping and waiting for a payday that never comes.

You see this type of “strategy” around you each and every day. But with what result? That’s fairly obvious—with no result. The only result that you do see is more despondency, more wishing, more letting the days pass by uneventfully and filled with financial stress, trading hours for little money.

What If We Could Change Their Thinking?

If only we could get everyone to see what really creates wealth. If only everyone understood that wealth comes from not random luck, but from dedicated action backed by a positive spirit and wealthy mindset. If people would spend even just a fraction of their time developing that mindset and not wasting it in negative emotion and fruitless wishing, they’d find that the return on their time investment comes in much shorter time. And they’d find out that being wealthy really is achievable for everyone.

Hard work and honesty—we’re raised to believe they are the two keys to anything that you want in life. But is this really the magic combination that equates to wealth? Or is there something missing in this formula?

Napoleon Hill On Hard Work + Honesty

“If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring riches, banish the thought!”

Chalk this up as another post inspired by the great Napoleon Hill. It was this one single quote from his updated version of Think and Grow Rich, re-titled Mindset Mastery, that inspired me today.

These are strong, but meaningful words that he writes. Banish the idea that you can simply work hard, be honest, and magically be wealthy. But why? Isn’t it moral to work hard and be honest? Is there something wrong with these noble traits?

Certainly not. If you read carefully, Hill says nothing of the sort. What he does say is that these two characteristics ALONE will not bring riches. There is most definitely something missing from this equation. Unfortunately, the traditional education and upbringing does not enter anything else into your life’s equation. We are taught to work hard and be honest, and that success will follow. But I think it’s easy to see where just these two things alone will get you. There are plenty of examples all around, every day.

Where Does Hard Work And Honesty Get You?

Let me say unequivocally now that working hard and being honest are important life traits. These two characteristics are not to be banished, simply built upon and added to. Along with them you would need also traits such as positivity, a wealthy mindset, motivation, action, and dedication.

If working hard and being honest by themselves were enough to build wealth, we would have very few poor people in the world. In my experience, most people are hard working and honest, but that alone has not allowed them to get ahead and create wealth. To do that, more needs to be added to the mix. Hard work and integrity are excellent foundations, but more needs to be added to the mix to solidify that footing.

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 second part of [Name Withheld]‘s Be, Do, Have concept is to DO—take action!

This might be the part you were waiting for, because we’ve certainly spoken at length about how important it is to take action to create wealth, and not just expect it to fall into our paths. Taking action is the easiest part for people to understand in the whole process of creating wealth.

Time For Action

As we talked about yesterday, though, there is a specific time for taking action, and most people get it wrong—they put the action, the Do, first, and forget to be what they want to be, or expect to be something their actions are not targeted at being. When that happens, the actions are all wrong, because they are not the actions of a wealthy person, they are the futile attempts of a poor or financially struggling person—a hard working person, but not an efficient, focused, successful, wealthy person.

It’s easy to see why people get these two confused. First of all, most of us need someone like [Name Withheld] to point out and explain this in real terms that make perfect sense. Most of us have been educated otherwise. Our educations never prepared our mindsets. But secondly, it seems illogical to “Be” wealthy when your bank account says otherwise. We define wealth by the numbers, and not by the whole of what wealth is.

What most people miss is that wealth is not a number, it’s a mindset. That is what makes it definitely possible to be wealthy despite the numbers. It’s that wealthy mindset that you have to develop first, so that the actions you take can result in you having what you want to have.
