In posts past, the topic was thinking the right ‘size’ thoughts in order to accomplish what you want in wealth creation. We talked about how some people just don’t see that the reason they are not wealthy is because they are not focusing their thoughts and not tailoring them to the level of financial success they want. They want to accumulate millions of dollars, but they don’t have million-dollar thoughts. They think too small, and so they attract much smaller financial wealth.

Your Idea Of What Wealth Is

Wealth is a funny word, because as much as we all desire it is very hard to define what wealth is. What amount of money would make you wealthy? How do you place value on your assets? Can you be wealthy without a set amount of money in the bank?

Wealth is calculated in many different ways depending on your assets, holdings, cash and savings, and myriad other factors. What is wealth in one corner of the world can be drastically different from what is wealth in another because costs of living and standards of living are drastically different across regions.

No one can define what wealth is to you except you—I cannot do it, Jamie McIntyre cannot do it, and neither can anyone else. Only you can decide how much money will make you feel financially secure and financially free. Only you can say what ‘wealth’ is for you.

Why It Matters What Wealth Means

Does it really matter what wealth means to anyone? It does. It matters to you what wealth means to you. It matters much less what I think it means to be wealthy, and it matters much less what Jamie McIntyre or any other person in the 21st Century Academy thinks it means. But it does matter to you personally.

The reason that it matters is that, as we discussed, you need to be able to focus your thoughts and energy to attract the level of money and financial prosperity that you want. You need to have the same size thoughts as what you seek. To do that, you need to know what you accept as wealthy so that you can tailor everything to your idea of wealth.

Both here on this blog and through the course of the 21st Century Academy we talk about many keys to financial success. Today the key that we are talking about is consistency—consistency in attitude and in action.

Building The Habit Of Financial Success

How often have you read something, maybe something Jamie McIntyre wrote, or maybe a portion of his book or a course from his wealth education program, and come away so totally motivated and energized that you felt like you could conquer the world? And then how often did you find yourself back into a state of frustration, financial stress, and helplessness just hours later?

What do you think that relapse did for your motivation? What did it do for you over the course of your journey to creating wealth?

At the very least it caused you to stagnate until you achieved that state again. That’s the neutral effect. A worse result would be that it put you back at square one, to where you were before you felt that motivation. And worse still, it may have caused you to lose ground to the point that you are starting below where you were in the beginning. Wherever it took you, no progress was made.

Progress Leads To Success

One thing we know for sure. Without progress, there is no success. If you are constantly losing the ground you’ve made up, or at the very least knowing no forward movement, then you are not progressing towards success and wealth.

To make that progress you have to find a way to overcome the neutral and negative impacts that daily life might take. You have to find ways to consistently move forward, even if it is a little bit at a time. Building wealth, building the wealthy mindset, and building positivity has to be something that is ever-present. Your central task needs to be building that consistent lifestyle so that you are not constantly fighting to get back to where you started from, but are moving on to more.

You’ll probably find that this one is very similar to getting more out of your day by taking something out, but it is really more than that. This one is about more than just finding time, it’s about getting more out of your life by empowering that which you do everyday.

Habitual Negativity And Neutral Living

Every person on the planet has habits. We may not know where they’ve come from or why we do them, but we all have them. Many of those habits are not so good. They are things we spend energy doing that either do nothing for us in return, or worse, are actually working against us.

These habits can be anything. They can be health-related, work related, or personal habits. They sneak into our lives and sap our energy and positivity. These habits might be

• Smoking

• Drinking excessively

• Oversleeping

• Overeating (munchies?)

• Fidgeting, doodling, tapping…

There’s no end to this list. There are endless things that people do habitually that impact the outcome of their lives and reflect on their ability to create wealth.

The negative impact of many of these is obvious. Smoking and overeating have serious health consequences. Some of them have less obvious impact, but when you think about it these types of habits are either harming at a lesser level, or leastwise doing nothing positive for you at all.

Replace The Negatives With Positives

But what would happen if you replaced these negative and neutral habits with positive habits? You would create more positivity in your life, and attract more positivity and success. You would be a stronger, healthier person living a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Interestingly enough, the habits that you replace and empower do not have to be directly related to money. Again, it’s the law of attraction; it’s setting the stage and building the mindset that makes implementing your wealth education possible. When you are healthier and living better you feel better and succeed more. You attract more of the same and give yourself the power to succeed financially (as in all things).

Anything you do to empower yourself more will find its impact on your wealth-building efforts. Empower yourself, feel and live better and you’ll find that getting more out of your day is much easier than you thought it could be. It’s a simple action with a far-reaching result.
