Beyond The Pinnacle—What Comes Next?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

wealthyPart 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.

FinancialThis 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.

Better Access To Wealth Development Information And Resources

Monday, August 11th, 2008

wealthBefore 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.

Defining Wealth For Your Financial Success

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

goldIn 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.
