21st Century Academy

If there is one thing you will learn from Jamie McIntyre it is that you must empower yourself in order to change and build wealth. The first step and one of the most crucial in creating wealth is to empower yourself and allow yourself the power of control over money in every way. Let’s explore this idea a bit…

What Is Financial Empowerment?

There are many ways that you might describe financial empowerment. When it comes down to it, though, to be empowered financially is to have choice and control. It is to be the master of your financial and emotional mind, and thus your fate.

By definition empowerment means “to give authority or power”; it also means to “make more confident or assertive.” Given these definitions, it is easy to see how one could benefit from becoming financially empowered. When you empower yourself financially, you gain control over how your money is spent or invested, where it goes and what it does for you. You build confidence in yourself and make you better at everything you do.

How Can You Get Financially Empowered?

You can start today by just allowing yourself the luxury of financial control. That is one step in the right direction. But true empowerment means having control over your financial life in every small and large way. There is more to empowering yourself for wealth than just giving yourself permission to succeed. To get through the day to day and build your confidence and power, you’ll need some guidance.

This is the point where a wealth creation education, either formal through a program like the 21st Century Academy or informal such as in books, etc., comes in.

Acknowledging the fact that you deserve to be empowered and build wealth is the first step. Achieving the necessary level of empowerment happens over time with education and exposure. Take a step now to build your power and your wealth.

You are the company you keep, and you are also the thoughts you think. Just as we talked about the company you keep attracting more of the same to you, the same applies to the thoughts that you think.This is the foundation that Jamie McIntyre built the 21st Century Academy on. It is also the foundation that leading self empowerment and wealth authors built their success upon—leaders as far back as Napoleon Hill with Think and Grow Rich.

Positive Thinking For Financial Success

This is very much in relation to the mindset that is so integral to wealth creation, but what I really want to drive home in this post is the power of each and every thought you think on a daily basis. Collectively they are what make up your mindset in combination with your attitude.

This post is also about attracting positive thought. Remember that when we talk about attraction as it applies to financial success, we talk about the like attracting like. When you think positively and think thoughts of wealth and success, you attract more thoughts of positivity and abundance. If you think thoughts of stress, financial want, deprivation or need, you attract more of the same. That can be a hard cycle to break as you work towards building wealth because most people do come into this with a level of need or want. But even those needs can be turned into something positive—the positivity of working towards your goals, the comfort of knowing this need is temporary and that overall you are living well and building wealth.

Starting today, I encourage you to start paying more attention to the thoughts that you think. You will not be free from negativity unless you make a conscious decision to turn your thoughts around. The good news is that once you begin to make that effort the whole thing gets easier. You’ll think more positively, you’ll expect life to be positive, and you’ll expect to succeed. And with every thought, you will attract more positive thinking.

Tell me if this sounds familiar to you:

• You’ve struggled through life to get ahead financially

• You resolve time and time again to find a pathway to financial success

• You have the best of intentions, and even take solid actions that should point you in the direction of success

• You enjoy intermittent success with finance and money

• Inevitably something steps in and puts you right back where you started (or possibly even further behind)

• You begin again, and experience the same scenario again

• And again

• And again

…And you just can’t figure out why.

You Are Not Alone

If this seems like the story of your life, don’t dismay—you are not alone! This has been the story for so many working with the 21st Century Academy. This was Jamie McIntyre’s story, and mine, too. I dare say that unless you are one of the few who were raised and educated differently from the rest of the modern world; this is the story of your financial life. But do you know why?

As I’ve Been Saying

This is an illustration of exactly what we’ve been talking about as we dissect the financial subconscious and the effect it has on life. This is exactly what happens when your negative financial subconscious works against you, undermining the best conscious efforts. This is what happens when you link money to pain in your subconscious and your subconscious works to protect you from that pain.

This is the treadmill-effect that financial pain and negativity have on your life. This is why you can enjoy some financial success and think you’ve finally figured it out this time, but then fall right back and have to start again all over.

You Can Win The Battle And Get Off the Treadmill

This is a battle you can win. You can win it once you understand what is happening, and understand the need to start with the fundamentals of psychology. This is what programs like the 21st Century Academy do. With Jamie McIntyre, you can get off that treadmill and stop starting over and over again. And finally, with the right direction, you can move beyond it and never have to start over financially again!

Hopefully you’ve had time to come to terms with the fact that financial negativity is a fact of life, and that you need a change. So let’s take a short look at how Jamie McIntyre would help you improve that negative attitude, so that then we can get on to the better things in life—succeeding in wealth creation to live the life you want!

Deep Roots

As mentioned in the earlier post, your negativity towards money has very deep-seeded roots in your mind and subconscious. So deeply seeded that there is a very good possibility [probability] that you haven’t even realized you harbor negative feelings towards money, and/or that those negative feelings are prohibiting you from building wealth.

Even though there are aspects of negativity, or instances of negativity towards money that you can probably recall and point to, there are other, more harmful subconscious attitudes that you might not be aware of. These are harder to target because it’s not just a matter of stopping yourself from saying something or thinking something that is counterproductive to wealth creation. It’s about changing those very attitudes that you cannot control.

Rewiring The Subconscious Mind

One of the most powerful and life-changing lessons that Jamie McIntyre teaches through the 21st Century Academy is how to change the subconscious mind so that you can make room for money and success in your life. If this was the only thing Jamie taught you, then you would already have an essential tool that would make a huge difference in your life.

Rewiring the subconscious financial attitude is a process of revealing your true feelings towards money, and then taking steps to correct them. While this is a truly revealing process, and can sometimes elicit some mental anguish, it’s not a difficult task; that is to say, it does not require any special skill or even money. It only requires you to spend time in reflection, and then take actions to replace the bad with the good.

In future posts, we’ll start to do just that. Come back next time and we’ll start talking about some of the ways to rewire your financial subconscious and free you from those attitudes that hold you back—the ones you can’t even see.

Think that’s not possible? You’re not alone. And I’m not at all surprised that you would think money cannot make you a better person. In truth, money can’t make you a better person. That’s why there are rich and powerful people in the world who do horrible and unethical things. But Jamie McIntyre’s style of wealth creation can make you a better person. Doubtful? Read on….

Remember The Small Changes And The Sum Of The Whole

Money in and of itself is neither good nor bad. It’s the people that have money that are good or bad, so to speak. As Jamie McIntyre will show you early on in the 21st Century Academy programs, money is just money—a tool for life, but not inherently evil; not even inherently good. It’s just a vehicle that you can use to get you where you want to be—living the life you want to live, without the stress and strain of financial depravity, and without working your life away to get what you need. Creating wealth and having money will change you for the better, so long as the changes you make in your life on your path to wealth creation are good changes.

The kinds of changes the 21st Century Academy teaches you to make are all good. As we talked about before, you’ll make many small changes as you learn to create wealth and get rich that will result in one or a few big changes—primarily, financial prosperity.

Better Attitudes, Better Living

Many people are surprised to find that the 21st Century Academy doesn’t start right off teaching things like investment strategy. It starts with teaching you to correct the negative attitudes that you have towards money; because it is that negativity that keeps you anything less than rich. However, when you start to improve your attitudes, and start to make the changes that allow you to create wealth, you can’t help but become a better person. What you learn from Jamie McIntyre will affect your life in every way until, in the end, you’ll be a better person for having learned to make money and be rich. Could it get any better than that?
