21st Century Academy

Let’s start off by laying it all on the line. Everything we hope to gain from the 21st Century Academy Course, from the wealth-vision videos, and from our time here in general at the 21st Century Academy blog.

What You Didn’t Learn At School…

Here it is—what we didn’t learn at school but wish we had, so that maybe we’d have graduated with a real, functional knowledge of money, finance, and wealth creation! This is the list of objectives for the book, and for the larger course overall (because really, the book, great as it is, is only the beginning).

• The most important lesson of all—how to develop the millionaire mindset
• Why people fail—among the very first discussions we’ll have
• History of money
• Money systems and who really controls the wealth
• Why you need to understand the above
• How Jamie McIntyre succeeded—the education he developed from personal experience
• The difficulty with your subconscious and how to correct the problem
• How to start generating instant cash flow, regardless of what is (or isn’t) in the bank
• How to earn tax-free money from investment property
• The four key skills for mastering the 21st Century Education
• The five keys to financial understanding that we should be teaching and learning in school
• Unique renting investment strategies
• Eight ways to raise the money you need to start investing and building wealth—again, regardless of your current financial position

…But Wish You Had

I do realize that in your daily internet travels and in life in general you are constantly bombarded with lists and empty promises. This is not one of those lists. This list is a summary of what you can learn just from Jamie’s free book, and where his subsequent courses and seminars can take you. We’re going to spend a lot of time here in the days ahead breaking this book down bit by bit and talking over each piece. I can see now this project will take us quite a lot longer than originally anticipated, but that’s okay, better we take it a step at a time and really benefit from it than to rush through and miss the point entirely!

Grasping the concept and power of choice is difficult for people, because of all those outside factors and demands that they perceive as un-wielding. One reason that it is hard for people to come to terms with this power is because they do not understand a related and resulting power of the power of choice—the power of wealth.

Wealth Heals All Wounds

We all know that is not 100% true, but we all also know it to be mostly true in the 21st Century. Money and wealth is a tool to living well, and having it does cure a number of ills (the possible exceptions being related to emotions and health, but those are very significantly impacted by success and having wealth, too).

What I really want to talk about, though, is the idea of choosing to spend a portion of your money on you, on your savings, and on your own wealth development so that you can be wealthy. Even if you have very large financial obligations, this is what has to happen in order to be wealthy. But it often doesn’t because we are afraid of the repercussions from the establishment. What you have to remember is that the establishment is all about the money.

Bouncing Back

When you build wealth you can come back from just about anything you think you may have jeopardized in terms of financial recovery. Banks are very forgiving to people who have money. When you are a wealthy person, the establishment will deal with you—at your will, on your terms. Even before that time they will because they will have no choice—they still want their money.

To be clear, I’m not recommending that you just stop paying all your bills and start investing all your money in you. But I am recommending that you stop investing it all in everyone else’s business and see to your own first. There’s no other way to build wealth.

I also wouldn’t recommend going about this without some study and direction. Jamie McIntyre does address this very topic in his book, “What I Didn’t Learn In School But Wish I Had.” It’s a good place to start with this wealth empowerment program, because investing in yourself is elemental to financial success.

We’ve talked at length about how the 21st Century Academy education is different—how it is a new financial education for a new century, to replace what you just haven’t been taught yet. You might think that that is the focus of my post today, but that’s not really so.

What I want to talk about today isn’t how Jamie McIntyre’s wealth education program is different from what you learned in school, but how it is different than what the average person learns. Not all that unrelated, but you’ll see what I mean by this.

Doing More Than Average

This is not to discount what you would learn through this financial empowerment program in any way. There’s no doubt that school and university and college have not prepared the average person to build wealth. This post is just to show you why this makes a difference in your life—why this type of financial education will make you wealthy.

The answer is quite simple. A financial empowerment program such as this one is something that the average person never does. The average person, though, is not wealthy either. And do you know what you have to do to do better than the average person? To be the less than average wealthy man or woman? You have to do something that the average person does not.

If an average life, an average introduction to finance and wealth, and average money management were a path to wealth then most everyone would be rich by now. But comparatively speaking few people are financially wealthy. If you want to be one of the few you have to start doing something that few people are doing, and you have to start somewhere to learn how to do that. Start by learning more than the average person knows about building wealth and investing, and then continue on to wealth by doing what the average person is just not willing to do.
