We have so much information coming to us daily about the need to be wealthy, and what to do, how confused do you get? How much money do you need to pay for your lifestyle?
Most people think the only way they will have a lot of money is to win the lottery. Every week the lotteries seem to be having increasing jackpot sizes. Which is usually a heck-of-a-lot of money. Imagine how the winner must feel picking up the cheque,or seeing his bank balance. Would you think he has made it?
We all hear of stories of people who win big … more of than not within a couple of years they have none of the winnings left. They have more debt than they started with and no friends or family to help them out. Money can change the attitude of a person who has not had money before, or who has not earned it themselves. They think they have found a bottomless pit of gold at the end of the rainbow!
Remember this … the more money you have, the more money you spend.
If you read my recent article “Have You Given Your Child A Wealth Education Chat Yet?”, then you will understand it is never too young to start educating your children about the value of money and how it can affect their young lives.
Look at your life right now do think about money, where it is coming from, how to spend it, what bills you have, what you will have give up to pay the bills, feed the children, pay for your bad habit (whatever they might be?) You probably think more about the older you get.
I one was having a coffee with a friend and we were discussing what we would do if we won the JACKPOT. (as you do on a fine day, and it was far too early to go and sit in the Garden Bar). He mentioned he will get the traveling bug out of his system. Buy his parents a nice car. Then maybe put it some where with a good rate of return and live off the interest for the rest of his life!!
But, my biggest concern of all he told me was that he would have someone else manage his money for him. That’s right, he wouldn’t make the decisions of how his money would be invested, he’d leave it to someone else!
How many money managers have we heard of recently that commit fraud against the people they work for. And really, who better to invest YOUR money than YOU!
There are plenty of people who leave it up to others to manage their investment portfolios, then cry foul when their money disappears. We consider them to be unfortunate (depending to the levels of their rich-ness, and how they acquired it) or stupid.
A lot of people who have won vast amounts of money, have become scared of it … yep, that’s right: scared! The biggest reason: they don’t want to be seen as a failure by their family and friends. Or, they think it is better to go out with a bang … blow all the money.
Most people do not realize they have to work on getting their MINDSET sorted. Putting your mind into the investment thinking mode. Having assets to generate an income, that takes minimal work for you to manage.
Your mindset should be worked on before the money is in your account. Once you learn how to make money from small amounts… do you think it will be easier to make money from large amounts of funds?
Then you have to think about what outcome or goal you would like to achieve with this money. What are some of the important results you want to achieve in your life?
We all have doubts about the actions we have taken in life! We tend to have more ‘what if’s’ surrounding money, than any other part of your life.
Is that little guy on your shoulder helping you with wonderful advice when you are investing? The little guy on your shoulder is more worried about the sale in shops…. Learning not to learn to the little guy is the hardest thing with getting the mindset right.
It also takes mindset to stick to the purpose of why you are doing this … remember you often have to give something up to achieve the bigger goal. That ’something’ could be a spending habit (that coffee EVERY morning) or it could be a friendship with someone toxic to your goals (the negative person who is always telling you that what you want out of life is simply not possible).
So remember know what you want to achieve, have steps in place that will help you work towards the bigger goal. Stop listening to people who do not understand where you want to go in life and listen to yourself…you always know best.
There is no ‘one’ way to become wealthier in life, be it riches of money, sources of knowledge, the number of friends you acquire over your lifetime you just have to get your mindset correct to move ahead with your life.
I’ve found that people don’t know where to find the knowledge to gain wealthy mindset. I didn’t for a long time, so I know where those people are at ‘right now’. Do you go down to the book store and get the latest Anthony Robbins book (he is an awesome author and has helped an amazing number of people in his life). Most people who start reading the self help books usually don’t get past the first chapter. And the ones that do finish reading it don’t take the lessons learned and apply them to their lives.
Everyone starts with the best intentions … they just don’t seem to get it done!
Think about this: when the Egyptians built the pyramids they must have wondered if this was the best use of their time. No doubt someone had a plan and a strong mindset to refuse to listen to the doomsayers and they built a strong team behind them to successfully achieve the goals they set out with.
The same with wealth: you need to have a great mindset, some knowledge and a plan of what you are about to create. You also need people behind you to help you and push you in the right direction. Sound familiar?
I was lucky and this all came about for me when I got a wealth creation DVD in the post. I loved what I was hearing it gave me so many ideas of what I could achieve and how I could get the outcomes I wanted.
I enrolled in the homestudy program and the gentle prodding and guidance of others around me has got me to a fantastic place of wealth.
What could you achieve if your dreams were big enough, and you had others daring to break out of the norm to help you fulfil your dream?
Think about it and if you’re interested go to www.dynamitewealthcreation.com to order your wealth creation DVD you too could achieve the outcomes you are only now beginning to dream of.
