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.

Part of building wealth relies on setting firm, clear goals. In part that relies on knowing what wealth means to you. To do that we usually set at least one large goal, tied to a financial value or monetary figure, that we recognize as meaning we have reached that goal. In other words, a sum of money, and assets that represents wealth achievement to us.

Each of us will have such a figure in mind. We will also have many smaller goals along the way to get us there; goals like getting a wealth creation education, learning to strategize for wealth creation, developing aspects of our mindset and psyche that are conducive to wealth creation. And one day, through perseverance, dedication, discipline, and by meeting each of those smaller goals, we will get to that pinnacle and be able to finally say “I’ve done it! I am a wealthy person!”

But Then What?

What then? What comes next? What do we do once we’ve become rich? Do we sit back, kick our feet up, and wallow in our financial success?

Yes!

But that’s not all we do.

We also prepare to continue on. We take steps to move forward to a new goal. A bigger and better and even more wildly successful goal for financial prosperity. We educate ourselves again as to how to do more and have more and enjoy more.

This time around, though, things will be different. This time around we will already have a solid financial education behind us. We will have already learned the key strategies and developed the right mindset for building wealth and being successful. And this time around we will be even more motivated to keep going. Why? Because of that Law of Attraction that got us here. Because great things keep attracting great things, and our own personal experiences with wealth and success will only do more to further us toward more wealth and achievement.

We will have tasted wealth and possibility, and we will be enthusiastic to taste even more. And so we move forward with new goals and a renewed energy for financial freedom and prosperity.

Before the internet the availability, exposure, and access to wealth creation information and wealth development education was limited. In many ways it was only accessible to the people who already had money, who were already wealthy. The people who needed the information often didn’t know it existed and the people who had money were the only ones who could afford the expense of travel to exotic locations to attend wealth creation seminars. The best, most useful information and educational resources were just not easily accessed, and so whole generations of willing and able individuals did not have the tools and information they needed to learn to build their own wealth.

Today we are in a much more favorable position for accessing information to be come financially empowered. In today’s world, the internet is a primary resource for information and even education. A simple internet connection is all that a person needs to gather all the information and learning resources needed to become financially empowered.

Online Resources For Financial Learning

Wealth education comes in many forms online. It comes in the form of websites, of social media, of articles, and much more. Some of the most useful forms of online financial information resources include:

• Websites—websites like the 21st Century Academy website that focus on one strategic program, and also general websites that give access to other sources and ideas.

• Publications—both online and hard-copy publications and books. In actuality, the growth of the EBook industry has opened the doors to many wealth creation authors not promoted by big publishing houses.

• Social media—including social networking sites, forums, and blogs

• Online financial education—like the 21st Century Academy homestudy course, which brings the power of personal seminars to people all over the world.

Clearly these resources bring a whole new wealth of information that just was not obtainable before—many that did not even exist. With online access there is no barrier to gaining a powerful, empowering wealth creation education. The opportunity is there for anyone, anywhere, in that always-on fashion that is the internet.

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.

The first thing you will learn from the 21st Century Academy is that thoughts and mindset are the key to creating wealth. Although this sounds easy and simple, Jamie McIntyre doesn’t make this the foundation of his wealth education program because he wants to let you off easy; he does it because it is the true way to succeed and become wealthy. And if you think you can just sit back and become wealthy by dreaming about money, you will be sadly disappointed.

The Easy Way To Build Wealth

Many people will quickly welcome this concept of thinking your way to wealth for no other reason than they think it is easy—and why not give it a try? You’ve got nothing to lose but taxing a few brain-cells, right? It’s true that you’ve got nothing to lose—and everything to gain—by developing the wealth creation mindset. But just having thoughts isn’t enough.

As we talked about in the dreams vs. thoughts post, thoughts are not things unless they are active. Without mental activity thoughts are nothing more than dreams. Dreams are fun, but they do not achieve anything—dreams do not make you wealthy, thoughts do. Active thoughts do.

Make Money And Build Wealth

The active part of the thought process is the conduit for success—it is how you translate thought into reality, how you make money and build wealth. It would be nice to get rich quick without having to expend any real effort, but that is not reality. Building wealth requires action and effort—work—too.

As you develop your thoughts—make mental effort to have thoughts and not only dreams, ensure that your thoughts have a present and goal-oriented aspect to them, and make your thoughts proportional to the wealth you seek—you must also give them life by giving them an active component. Without that action you have no means to your end, no path to wealth. Put action into your thoughts, and every day, with every thought, you will be doing something that is creating wealth.
