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.

To get the most from a 21st Century education, you have to choose your instructors wisely. Choose to be led by proven, successful individuals who stand as proof to the success of the programs they are offering.

It is not uncommon for people who are interested in creating wealth via the share markets to look to a financial planner of some sort for help. The only trouble with that is that often these people are in no better financial shape than you are. Most readily accessible and affordable financial planners are just paid employees. In a lot of cases, these people are working on commission, and are really only interested in pushing the financial products that will make them money.

Learn About Investing

This is not to cut up financial planners—these guys are hard working people who are trying to get ahead, too. The point to take away here is that when you choose to learn about investing and wealth creation, you have to choose who you follow wisely.

What makes more sense?

• Take the advice of a planner who sees only modest returns on his or her personal investments, whose decisions regarding the investment of your money is influenced by commission, and who still has to work for money?

Or

• Learn from a seasoned professional investor who has used his or her own products to make millions and now lets money work for him (her)? A person who works because he/she chooses to, not because he has to?

Where Does Jamie McIntyre Fit in?

Your financial success will be greatly impacted by who you choose to follow; choose the second guy, a guy like Jamie McIntyre, and his program, like the 21st Century Academy, and you can be confident that the path you are shown does lead to financial freedom and financial success.

Better still, choose the latter and you create financial independence all your own. When you choose to learn from a guy like Jamie McIntyre, taking the knowledge and support of a system like the 21st Century Academy, you don’t just get advice for the day, you get advice for a lifetime. You aren’t just told where to put your money, you are taught how to invest in manageable ways, and you have the education you need (finally!) to create wealth and sustain yourself for the rest of your life.

Now I’ve given you the first 2 things you need to start setting your goals for financial freedom. I’ve given you the 5 levels of financial freedom and I’ve given you the exercise to help you learn where you stand in terms of financial independence. Now the next part is where we get to have a little fun.

Financial Reality

If confronting your financial reality was sobering and overwhelming, now is the time to look at the other side of things. Now you get to determine what you want in life – what you’ll have when you’ve reached your financial goals, thanks to Jamie McIntyre’s ingenious (yet simple) 21st Century Academy program!

Defining What You Want To Achieve Financially

This exercise is really fun, but you should keep yourself grounded enough to be realistic. Unless, of course, shameless amounts of money and belongings are your goal; in that case you should be honest and include it!

This exercise for setting financial goals for financial independence is just a brainstorming session. It will help pinpoint your definition of financial success.

Just take about 5 minutes and list the things that you want. The things that you will use the wealth you create to buy, do, and experience. List the things you want to

• Own—like a house, car, fine art, jewelry, a boat or yacht…
• Give—charities you want to support, philanthropic causes, a house or car to your parents or siblings, maybe your kids…
• Experience—a vacation, a trip, a seminar…
• Achieve economically—like reduce your debt, cash money in the bank, a big net worth, a continuous stream of annual investment income, business profitability…

Now, qualify those goals. Use them to set a schedule for your wealth creation by breaking the list into short term (achieved in 6 to 36 months), intermediate (achieved in 3 to 10 years), and long term (in more than 10 years) goals.

Now What Do You Have?

What you have now is the list of financial goals that you want to achieve—and the timeline for achieving them. What you’ve given yourself is a road map that will help you realize whenever you have achieved a small or large financial success. This will be your basis for a finely tuned set of goals. As you go along and start enjoying financial success through Jamie McIntyre’s 21st Century Academy methods, you’ll be able to check off your successes and know that you are either well on your way, or you’ve arrived at financial success! Then you can join me and the scores of others in telling Jamie McIntyre just what a difference he and the 21st Century Academy have made in your life!

One of my first dreams that I “Acquired” from the 21st Century Academy was this: I want to become a Full Time Investor. It was in early 2004 and I had just picked up the Free 3 Hour DVD with Jamie McIntyre. I was in dire straits, financially and was seeking Financial Security. I soon learned the different levels of Financial Protection that we all crave at some level in our lives.

The 5 Levels To Financial Freedom

• Financial Protection
• Financial Security
• Financial Independance
• Financial Freedom
• Absolute Financial Freedom

I set these as goals in January 2004 while doing the Jamie McIntyre homestudy program. I was focused on becoming a full time investor and wanted to know how to make money (like lots) and learn to invest. I soon realized that the focus needed to be elsewhere. You can read more about mindset etc in my Success Communicator Blog.

Become a Full Time Investor In Your Mind

To ever become a Full Time Investor in real life, you need to first be one in your mind. All things originate from a thought so build that though, starting now! First tell yourself you are one and start working towards it. All goals we set don’t always come true but hey… Aim for the Moon. If you miss, you’ll still land among the stars.

I quit my job as an electrician and became a Full Time Investor in 2005. You can read my testimonial that I wrote that memorable day in December 2005 on my I Fired My Boss Page.

Until next time…

Heres to a World Of Full Time Investors
