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.

Still in the interest of helping you help yourself more and make the most of all your days, here’s yet another thing to consider.

The Skills And Experience You Have Now

One of the ways that you can most efficiently use your time is to utilize the skills that you already have. In some ways this is similar to getting more out by going with what interests you. Hopefully you have built your skillset upon that which interests you the most. That will make it even easier to capitalize on all that you have readily available to you. If you have skills that aren’t really in your most desired area of interest, but that are readily usable still, it is definitely worth considering taking advantage of them now as you build into what you really want to be doing.

When you can utilize what is already familiar and second-nature you don’t have to spend time learning new skills before you can put them to work. Being that you are pursuing wealth you may be thinking you have no skills that apply, but that is probably not the case.

What have you learned?

Look at what you have done and what you have learned. Now look at the ways that Jamie McIntyre is showing you for making money. Look at how he shows you to create opportunity. What can you marry here?

I’ll give you just a couple of examples and let you take it from there. For instance, maybe you were a housepainter in college; maybe you have learned how to redecorate by revamping every place you’ve ever lived. Those sound like very good skills a real estate investor might want for do-it-yourself fix and flips.

Or maybe your skills have always been more book-oriented. Maybe bookkeeping and numbers are your strength. You’ll find those skills invaluable on the trades markets.

I doubt that there is anyone without a skill that can be captured and capitalized for building wealth and investing. If you look deep enough, if you are creative enough, you will find what you need within yourself. Make the most of what you know to make the most of your financial future!

There are many suggestions for how you can get more out of your day for your ultimate success. There are many small time-management skills and tips and tricks to keep you focused and efficient. Doing what you love, for instance. But now I have to tell you something you probably don’t want to hear. Sometimes, to get more out of your day you have to…

Put More Into Your Day

There. I said it. Now you can hate me for a minute, but at some point it has to be said if we are to really look hard and fast upon our lives and improve them so that we can find the time to build wealth.

Even the most rewarding paths in life often require us to sacrifice and do things we don’t want to do. Sometimes that means pushing ourselves beyond our current limits to do what really matters—what really makes a difference in our lives. Sometimes we just have to stop planning to find time in the future, and make the time to see to our own financial needs—our needs of wealth!

Take on more to succeed

Whether you take something else away or just heap more upon yourself, you absolutely must take on more if you are to succeed and find financial wealth. What are some of the things you might need to take on? That depends on your needs. It might be:

• A wealth-building course or investment strategy instruction

• Research and reading to learn more about how to build wealth

• Exercise and meditation to clear and open the mind and body for money, richness, and success

• Smaller, broken-down tasks and projects (like investing, trading, buying properties)

At some point we all have to get down to action. We have to take steps and move forward. We have to take on more to have more so that we can eventually do less of what we have to do and more of what we love. There can’t always be an easy way to do this, but at least there is a real, definite way. We all have the ability to become rich!
