21st Century Academy

The experts agree that there are common threads which people share that keep them from being wealthy. If you research what the various financial experts say, you’ll see a lot of similarity between them.

Jamie McIntyre And Friends

Many of you have probably read more than one financial expert. If you have, you’ll see that there is a lot of similarity between them. In fact, you’ll notice that in the 21st Century Academy programs Jamie McIntyre refers to a variety of other experts, from Napoleon Hill to Robert Kiyosaki and Anthony Robbins. And you’ll see that on many points, these men (and some expert women, too—we don’t want to leave out the ladies!) are all in agreement.

The most notable point you’ll make is that all of them agree that mindset is the first determining factor in wealth. The people who are wealthy have a different mindset and play by a different set of rules—the rules that open the opportunity to make money and become wealthy as opposed to the rules set by tradition and financial institutions. So the first order in wealth creation is simple. Change the mindset, change the financial future.

Simple, Not Easy

It may be simple, as in, the concept is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Changing your financial future still takes work and effort. There’s no way around that. But with the guidance of the right financial education and expert leadership, you can get there.

The fact that the experts are all so similar in their advisement should be taken as a vote of confidence—as proof that wealth is attainable, and that the systems do work. There are sure and proven ways to change your life and succeed in creating wealth. If you doubt that, you have only to pick up a few books by these great men and women, and see what they all have to say. You have only to find out what needs to change in your life to make room for money—for wealth!

More than likely, you suffer from a poor financial attitude. More than likely, you don’t even realize you do. The great majority of people who come to the 21st Century Academy for help—in fact, the great majority of people in the world—do have a negative attitude towards money, and they don’t even realize they do.

How Financial Negativity Keeps You Down

Financial negativity is one of the number one reasons why people do not become wealthy. Realistically, it could be the top reason why people continue to struggle financially.

A negative attitude towards money causes you to subconsciously resist money, wealth, and success. That means that your subconscious (or even conscious negative) attitude towards money directly causes your lack of freedom in life, in any way that freedom is tied to money and finance (and let’s be honest here—that’s almost everything).

How Did I Get This Way?

You know that having money is imperative to living freely and comfortably. Right now, you might be resisting the idea that you even have a negative attitude towards money. So if you weren’t aware that your financial attitude was poor, how could you have gotten to this point?

First off, as we said, you’re not alone. Almost everyone has a negative attitude towards money—even Jamie McIntyre did. Don’t feel badly about it, just take it for what it’s worth and recognize it.

To address the question at hand, you got this way as a result of your life up until this point. Your every experience with money—or without money—has had a bearing on the attitude you hold towards money and wealth today. It’s a cumulative effect of a lifetime of hearing about the bad that money and wealth do in this world. It’s the cumulative effect of convincing yourself you don’t really need money to be happy and secure. Yes, you and almost everyone around you for your entire life have worked to develop this negativity towards wealth.

Knowing this is half the battle. The other half is overcoming it. In future posts, we’ll start talking about the methods that Jamie McIntyre employs through the 21st Century Academy to help you replace your negativity with an attitude of positivity and abundance. Do be sure to come back here, and see what you can do to change your negative ways.

We talk so much about the importance of mindset and how strongly Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy focus on it that sometimes I wonder if I leave people in doubt. It’s one of those instances where I understand the 21st Century Academy thoroughly and assume that I’m being clear with you, but I have to take a step back every now and again and make sure that I am.

Certainly, the majority of Jamie McIntyre’s teachings are about mindset, attitude, and success. It has to be because that is what, as we discussed before, 80% or better of wealth creation and financial success depends on. But of course there is another piece to that puzzle—the other 20%–and Jamie McIntyre delivers here, too.

Wealth Is 20% Financial Strategy

Once you’ve developed the mindset to succeed and make money, you have to have a vehicle to do so. You have to have a money-making, or investment, strategy.

The importance of developing a game plan for investment and making money is not lost on Jamie McIntyre. He had (has) a strategy for making money, and that is what he brings to you. The 21st Century Academy is still a course on investing and making money. It is complete with lessons on understanding and managing money and money systems, as well as with specific strategies for making money.

More Ways Than One

One of the things that Jamie McIntyre understands, though, is that not all people are equally prepared for making money the same way. Not all investors have the same interests. Some want to make money in stocks, while others prefer to rent shares or invest in property. There are many ways to make money and build wealth, and that is what the 21st Century Academy delivers—more than one way to build wealth.

The diversity of financial strategies is what puts the 21st Century Academy atop of the rest. With this system, anyone can learn to make money in a way that they can understand and manage. There is more than enough opportunity presented in Jamie’s McIntyre’s courses and seminars to make money now and in the future.

The 21st Century Academy is the whole picture. Jamie doesn’t leave you hanging with only bits and pieces; he brings it all to you so that you can find your path to wealth creation and financial success.

Financial intelligence is the other part of the mind’s equation that you need to solve in order to make money and create wealth. Financial Intelligence is emotional intelligence’s other half. Together, they create the whole of the mindset that you need to build wealth successfully.

Financial Intelligence Defined

Here, quoted, is Jamie McIntyre’s definition for financial intelligence—the one he uses in his 21st Century Academy courses. In Jamie’s words, you are financially intelligent if you

“…have money work for you, not just work for money”

Financial intelligence is nothing you would have learned in school or at university. The reason is simple. Schools and universities don’t teach people how to be financially intelligent.

Be Financially Dependent? Yeah, Right!

Schools and universities teach people how to be financially dependent. How to be workers and have a job! Now as a disclaimer, I’ll tell you that there is nothing wrong with hard work, if that’s your thing, but working hard is not the way to create wealth, and it will not lead you to a life of early retirement and financial freedom, leastwise not as wealth creation will.

You should also realize that financial intelligence is not about learning how to play the banks’ games. You won’t get rich following what the bank tells you makes good financial sense, or investing in the banks’ ideas of assets. Overall, what the banks tell you are assets are really liabilities, because they do nothing to put money into your pocket; worse, most only drain your cash flow.

The Mindset To Make Money

Financial intelligence is an all-encompassing term for what Jamie McIntyre has been able to surmise in the sentence quoted above. Whereas emotional intelligence is the mindset you need to make money, financial intelligence can be categorized as your strategy for wealth creation. These are both integral parts of wealth creation, and teaching them to you is what the 21st Century Academy does best.

Until next time…

One of the things that Jamie McIntyre does with the 21st Century Academy courses is to first build an education for life. We’ve talked about this before, and about how an education for life is something much different than what you learned in any type of school or college.

Maybe you remember that there were two primary types of intelligences that need to be developed in order to succeed at wealth creation. One of the two, the one I want to touch on here, is emotional intelligence.

What Is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is, to quote Jamie McIntyre’s definition,

“the ability to consciously respond to a situation rather than react under the influence of our emotions at the time”

Most people do not have emotional intelligence. Most people, and this includes myself and Jamie prior to developing the millionaire mindset, react to things in life based on habit. Most people are entirely reactionary and lack the ability to make careful, measured decisions.

Over time, our reactions become unconscious, not at all thought out. These unconscious reactions are made out of the most common states of emotion that we live in. Very negative emotions like

• Doubt
• Fear
• Uncertainty
• Worry
• Frustration
• Anger
• Disappointment
• Anxiety
• Stress

Build Emotional Intelligence

When you build emotional intelligence, you better your odds of succeeding at wealth creation because you

• Attract positive emotions
• Attract successful thinking
• Build your ability to make careful, conscious decisions that are productive rather than negative, emotional decisions based on only a knee-jerk reaction

Developing emotional intelligence is one of the keys to successful wealth creation. It is one of the most important lessons Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy will teach you, and it is a lesson that will serve you throughout every aspect of your life.

Until next time…
