Wealth Lesson One: Create Wealth Consciousness

Creating Wealth Consciousness

Be grateful for whatever amount of money you receive. Do not feel bad about how small the amount is. Each and every little bit adds to the accumulation of great wealth. When you are grateful, you will be happy and your subconscious mind will be able to receive the signal of receiving money. So starting from now you must think positively about receiving any amount of money. No amount is too small. Imaging if you receive $0.01 one billion times. It will add up to
$10 million. That is how wealth is created. You have heard of super rich people earning money through selling small items earning a few cents per sales. But when the volume is huge, the amount adds up. Imagine you earn $0.10 each from 10 million people every year. You will get $1 million each year.

Make that change in your attitude now.

ESBI

E-S-B-I --> Cash flow Quadrants

Have you read the any book by Robert Kiyosaki? If you had, you would have been familiar about the 4 Cash Flow Quadrants - ESBI. For many people who has been in the E quadrant, myself included, there is a very fine line between S & B. Until you really get yourself into S quadrant, you may not appreciate truly the differences.

After getting into the S quadrant for about 2 months, I started to feel the constraints of being in the S quadrant. There is this feeling of not being able to grow. The lack of growth can be very stressful because it can cause you to be in a different kind of fear. To me, being in the S quadrant is no better than in the E quadrant. The uncertainty is the same if not higher. In fact, it can be worse than being in the E quadrant.

If your trade is job by job basis, you are like being in the E quadrant again and again. This can be even more frustrating than the E quadrant. The only consolation is that any frustrating jobs is a short term thing. But, what is the difference of being in the E quadrant? You can also seek out another employer just like in the S quadrant where you seek out another customer.

In conclusion, S quadrant is not much different from E quadrant. If you want to gain more freedom, you need to move to B or I quadrants as quickly as possible..

Stay Focus To Fight Negativity!

Life is so bleak...

Assuming you are now out of job and you have a nagging spouse who does not seem to understand what is going on. (If you are not married, assuming that you have a nagging parent.) If you are facing this situation, read on...

Let's face it, job hunting is not easy once you hit 40, least to say over 45. You know you will be discriminated against. You spouse doesn't seem to get it inside her/his thick scull. Frustrating, isn't it? It is as though you are lazing around and not willing to look for job. You are angry at your spouse for the lack of understanding and ignorant about the job market. You feel like you should have a divorce and be free from it. If you start to feel so, you are in danger of falling into negativity. Believe it or not, you are only one of many middle age mid-level management staff who had gone through exactly the same path before you. History repeats itself, doesn't it?

Danger Signs...

You start to blame everybody. You start to believe that you are not going to be able to find a job. Your savings are depleting and will be finished one day. You will have to sell away your belongings to live on. You are going to be left out of this society... STOP!

You are falling into Negativity Cycle! You must get out of it right now!

Look, there are so many negative elements around you. You must stay focus on what you want to achieve so that you will not be dragged into the black hole.

PROVEN FORMULA OF SUCCESS
To put yourself back on track, try this proven formula:
  1. Define Your Target for next 12 months in clear detail and write it down.
  2. Read it to yourself every morning and night.
  3. Each time you read, imagine that you have achieved it.
  4. Truly believe that you will achieve it. Tell yourself what you want to give away in order to achieve it. Example, 10 hours of work everyday, Give up holidays etc.
  5. Do this everyday for at least 3 months. You will start to see things improving.
  6. Whatever other people may say, you must keep your faith and belief that you will achieve your target.
This is a proven formula that has been used by many people to achieve what they wanted and planned for. Give it a try for 3 months. You have nothing to lose.

“You have to settle into the uncertainty of things and be comfortable with it. Never voice negativity even if things are not going well. Your world is changing, there’s always tomorrow, all will work out fine in the end…Powerful consciousness about life and money is only habit. Agree to change your habits if that’s what it takes.” -Stuart Wilde

Fighting the Ghost Within!

What is really making you unhappy? Is it your boss? Your colleagues? Your job? Your spouse? Your children? Your neighbour? If the answer is one of these, you need not be unhappy. Why? You can resolve all of these issues. You can change company so that you have new boss and new colleagues and new job. You can talk to your spouse, your children, your neighbour about how you feel and seek their understanding.

But, in most cases, external factors are not real cause for unhappiness. The fear within you is the major culprit. Let me tell you that the fear within is the ghost within and it is the most hidden cause of all unhappiness. It is so hidden that very few people in this world ever realised it. It is so hidden that most of the people take the blame on others. Most people, without realising the real reason for their unhappiness, make excuses for it. Some will blame it on their jobs. Some blame it on the lack of financial achievements.

When you examine deeper into it, you should start to ask these questions. Are you really short of money to spend? What is it that you are not able to do? What is stopping you to make more money since you need more money? Did you ever try to take on another job? Did you really think hard enough to generate more money? Have taken a stock of your skills that you can sell your service to make some extra money? I make $2000 extra by writing some programs for a few customers during the night. There is opportunities everywhere if you care to find them.

The key thing is to find out the ghost within you and kill it, overcome it. Do not live in blame.

Success Requires No Explanations and Failure Permits No Alibis

Take ownership of your unhappiness and address it now. Kill the ghost withn, kill the beast within. Live life with greatest faith in believing that you will achieve ultimate happiness! Do question yourself anymore. You are born to be happy. Leave the worries and fear behind you and move ahead.

Positioning Yourself Toward Your Goal

Do you really want to be rich? If your answer is yes. Then, next question to ask yourself is what are you doing now? Are you an employee or self-employed? If you are an employee, then, ask more question? How much can an employee make? How to become rich as an employee? Of course there are people who become rich as an employee like to top managements of fortune 500 companies. If you think you want to be an employee and become rich, then, ask yourself how to get into the top management of the fortune 500 companies.

If you are not in the USA, then, look at the to 100 companies in your own country and ask yourself how to be at the top management of these companies.

What I am talking about is positioning. If you want to achieve something, you need to position yourself towards it. If your aim is to earn $10,000 per month, you can live a decent life but you will be in the middle class or upper side of the middle class. You are unlikely to be able to become rich.

If you are serious to become rich, then, you need to be operating a business. You need to be able to make more money than just standard salary. Otherwise, whatever your dream is will remain as a dream. You need to start to take some risk and do it.

Give some thought to it and decide what you really want to do. If you are in the middle of Sahara desert, you don't get seaview. You get sandview. Does that sound simple? Common sense?

Just Do It!

There was a financial crisis some years ago and it affected many people. Two men were severely affected. The invested heavily in stock markets and the prices of their stocks was down by as much as 80% on average. 5 years later, one of them was back again with even more fortune while the other is still living in misery. What makes them different?

Both had equal paper qualifications, almost equal skills and they both had gone through nearly same process of wealth building in the past. They were both equally capable of doing similar things. They both had the ability to build almost equal amount of wealth within the equal amount of time. Why one could rebound from the setbacks while the other could not? Are you interested to know? You would be, wouldn't you?

The answer was simple. One of them use back the same skill that he built his fortune and immediately start re-building again. While the other man spend all his time grieving about his losses. One man sees that he cans till come back even stronger because he has now gain even more experiences and he can do it much faster because he now knows how to avoid the costly mistakes he made in the past. The other man spends most of his time seeking sympathy and self pity. He has forgotten about how he used to build his fortune. He spent his time in
blaming and frustration.

See the difference? What is gone is gone. If you can salvage, you do it fast. If you can't salvage, you move on. Build on your past experience and do it faster this time round.

There are better things to do than to self pity.

OK. You have heard this hundred times. Now just do it.

What do you want from holidays?

What can holiday do for you?

What is it that you want to gain from holiday? That is my question. Sometimes, you can get a good break by just going to some nearby places and have total relaxation and re-charge. Or it could just be staying in a hotel in your own town and away from friends and have time by yourself and thinking through. What is best for you? Some people prefers some packaged tour where you jump from one tourist attraction to another in great hurry. Look, take picture, go to bus, next location, take picture go again.... Hmm... That is not my kind of holiday. I would rather take it easy and have my own time...

Well, to me, if you are looking for a break, you do not need to pay through your nose. Go to a nearby hotel. Have some good meals, relax, swim, relax, watch TV, think, relax again... All these is when you need to rest and relax. To travel out of your country to experience different thing is a good thing to do. But I think we should set out goal and take our time. So, I prefer free and easy time of holiday. I would wake up late and take slow breakfast and only visit one or to locations each day slowly.

These are just me only.... Depending on what kind of person you are, what kind of things you enjoy, I can say too much... Do whatever suits you....
