Wealth Creation Blog

We’ve talked a lot recently about the necessity of thinking wealthy thoughts. It’s a topic never far from the forefront on this blog, as we know that mindset is the determining factor in successful wealth creation. Just a few posts ago we talked about the importance of thinking big for financial prosperity. Let’s take a closer look at that issue now.

What Wealth Means To You

As you may recall, the point of one of those last posts was that your thoughts will attract the level of financial success that you put into them. In other words, in order to have a million dollars you need to first have million dollar thoughts. Today’s point is that the thoughts and thinking you perform should be whatever wealth means to you. It may not be a million dollars you want. For you, wealth and financial success may mean something else entirely.

Wealth means different things to different people. Many factors can affect what wealth means to you—

• The money you need to live well

• The standard of living where you live and the cost of living where you live (because the same amount of money in one locale will get you much more or less as compared to another)

• The property and belongings you wish to have

• The amount of work (career) you wish to maintain

• How much money you need to support others—family, friends, and charities

In short, your picture of what wealth is will be whatever makes you happy and makes you feel financially content.

No one else can tell you what wealth means in financial terms; no one can even tell you what it means in terms of personal satisfaction. Those decisions are yours to make. I cannot put a dollar figure on what it is to be ‘rich’ or ‘wealthy’. But the thing to take away is that you do need to focus and decide what wealth is to you so that you can focus your thoughts and think in the size that is right for you. Your thoughts will reap what you sew, so it is important to decide how big you need to start thinking to get you to the level of financial freedom and wealth success that you want to achieve.
