21st Century Academy

You can get more out of your day by doing what you love and pursuing an interest that works collaboratively towards wealth creation. You can also get more out of your day by leveraging the skills that you already have and putting those to work within your wealth building plan. Now let’s look at a way to combine the two to get even more out of your day once again.

What Would You Love To Do?

Once upon a time people chose their careers in their teens, trained, and stayed in that career or line of work—often the very same job—for the entirety of their working lives. But that kind of life becomes very monotonous and draining. Not to mention the fact that what we are focusing on is getting out of the work for pay mentality and into the wealth creation mentality of letting your money work for you.

As we’ve discussed, though, you still have many, many options for investment and acquiring wealth. And so you have many options to explore that which interests you and use it as your basis for making money.

Two of the ways, which I alluded to in the intro for this post, of getting more out of your day are

• Working with the skills you have for a quick start, and

• Following your interests for a more enjoyable and sustainable journey to wealth

Now let’s take that a step further. Let’s think about the things you’ve always dreamed of doing—the skills and interests you want to have, but haven’t yet achieved.

The skills that you want to be pursuing are another excellent way to get more out of your day and to build wealth at the same time. When you pursue that long-held passion and build a new set of skills you harness the power of doing what you love, while you also build a whole new set of skills that you can capitalize for acquiring wealth. These can then either replace the old skills for something more interesting, or they can be combined with them. Building your future skillset and capitalizing on it creates an effective combination of interest, desire, time management, and wealth education that could very well be your personal key to sustainable success.

Much of wealth creation—the very foundation of achievable wealth-building—relies on principles of attraction; on like attracting like. We know that we attract more of the same with our wealthy thoughts, accumulation of money, accumulation of success, and also with the people and company we surround ourselves with. We know that when the people we associate with wallow in skepticism and negativity that we will do the same; but when the people we associate with share the same air of success and possibility and prosperity that we share we will attract all of those things in our own lives.

Unfortunately, given the present company that surrounds you, you may find it difficult to keep the kind of company that will propel you towards wealth. Very fortunately, however, you have the gift of the internet and access to an entire online community dedicated to wealth, financial empowerment, and personal success.

Accessing A Success-Oriented Online Community

There are many places where you can connect with like-minded individuals who will help you build that air of attraction necessary for building wealth. A few examples that come to mind include

• Wealth creation blogs. Many wealth builders maintain blogs online in an effort to further wealth creation among the interested community.

• Forums. There are also dedicated forums, both highly focused (such as the 21st Century Academy forum) and more general, dealing with general issues related to financial empowerment.

• Websites. This includes Jamie McIntyre’s 21st Century Academy website and also others of varying sorts maintained both by financial experts and individuals pursuing wealth creation.

• Social media sites. Social media websites are where all of this comes together—where like-minded people go to connect and find more of the same.

No doubt you could add to this list. More than anything, though, know that the company you need to be keeping is out there and can be easily accessed any time of the day from anywhere with an internet connection. When you feel the community around you bringing you down, log in and find the people with the potential to bring you back up. Make it a regular habit of hanging with a company of wealth developers and putting the laws of attraction to work in your favor.

Thoughts need to be big in order to bring big things—to attract large volumes of wealth. The thoughts you think must be in proportion to the amount of wealth and financial success you aim to achieve, right? We understand this now, but what else do thoughts need to be?

Wealthy Thoughts Must Be Present

So much time is spent thinking and focusing on the future and future financial success, on building the wealth creation mindset, that often we tend to disregard the here and now. We think about what we are trying to achieve, what we want to have, but we forget that we have to get through today to get to tomorrow.

A big part of developing the 21st Century mindset of financial success is focusing on the future and training our thoughts and actions for future wealth. But all of what we do cannot be something left to the future—otherwise, tomorrow will never come, and we will never arrive at that wealth.

While Jamie McIntyre does want you focusing on your goals and future financial success, he also wants you focusing on the level of success you have achieved today. If you are here, you have had financial success on some level. Something has brought you here, to a place where the focus is on your financial empowerment and wealth education, so you must have succeeded in thought somewhere.

Mindset And Thought Process

In order to make the wealthy mindset and thought process work, you have to think in both the present and the future. You need to be positive and proactive about the future and your future wealth, but you also have to think about the present—about the thoughts you will have today to attract more success and wealth, about the things you will do today to achieve that, the actions you will take, and about the positive things in your life that are worthy of attracting more positivity and more success. This process is ongoing, too. You are always living in the present, so you always need to have thoughts in the present that will work toward bringing you closer to the future.

Future thoughts and goals are great things, but they are powerless without the means to get there. Develop presence in your thoughts so that wealth and success is something that you are accomplishing today and tomorrow, and always.

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.
