21st Century Academy

Who wants to learn the Secrets Of The Rich and Ultra Wealthy? Most people do, I suspect. But who is prepared to do what it takes once the secrets are revealed? The truth of the matter is this:

We already know what to do. We just don’t do it!

It’s not rocket science to copy the super rich and ultra wealthy. Simply look at what they do and copy it to your best ability. This is exactly what I did with Jamie McIntyre. He may not be super rich or ultra wealthy but he certainly is in a position to be in the top 1% of Australians who can do what they want, when they want to, because they can. Being a self made millionaire certainly can put you into that category.

The wealth education company 21st Century Academy introduced me to these teachings. I discovered concepts like:

• Emotional Intelligence
• Financial Discipline
• Money Management
• Financial Security
• Millionaire Mindset
• Renting Shares

And many more… So I have now put many of these learnings into practice. I already knew most of these concepts. Jamie McIntyre finally put me into gear and propelled me into action. He showed me that I already knew the secrets of the rich. Sometimes (most times) it’s simply a case of doing something like: Taking Action.

A bit over 3 years ago, I came across a free DVD with Jamie McIntyre. I read an ad in the newspaper advertising the DVD . It was the second time in 12 months I had come across this opportunity. The first time the DVD was for sale for $97 and I decided to give it a raincheck due to the price. Obviously I thought that $97 was too expensive for a potential opportunity that could change my life. What was I thinking? If I would learn to invest or learn the secrets of the rich, surely that was worth $97. Well, my mind process back then wasn’t much different to the way 96% of the population thinks; better safe than sorry. If in doubt, stay out!

This wealth opportunity was presented to me through a newspaper ad. It offered the free DVD with Jamie McIntyre, a self made millionaire in his twenties. I had a chance to learn where I had gone wrong, along with millions of other people when it comes to the quest of becoming self supporting and remove myself as a financial burden on society. Before I go any further, let me explain a few limitations that we place on ourselves. Maybe you can recognise some familiar quotes from society.

Being a self made millionaire like Jamie McIntyre isn’t something society necessarily admires very much. Certainly not in Australia where we have a human condition called: Tall Poppy Syndrome. This is a mindset of people who would rather bring successful people down to their own level rather than aspiring to get up to the level of the successful person. Really, all people are doing is making excuses and justifying why they haven’t achieved the same. Have you ever heard excuses such as?

• I don’t need money to be happy
• Money doesn’t buy you happiness
• There’s more to happiness than having money
• Etc…

Excuses = Justification of Failure

Have you heard Tall Poppy excuses such as these?

• Money doesn’t grow on trees
• Who do you think I am? Rockefeller?
• You have to be ruthless to be rich
• Is it sound to easy, it probably is (wow! This one puts the breaks on many people!)
• And many more excuses and justifications…

Who is the bad guy?

1. The person that:

a. Is so rich that money is abundant
b. Has enough of everything to go around
c. Creates assets faster than debt
d. Can afford to buy anything he/she desires
e. Can employ people, create jobs and support charities
f. Doesn’t rely on society to support them
g. Has a positive outlook on their financial future
h. Teaches others to do the same (if they are prepared to help themselves)

Or…

2. The person that:

a. Is too poor to live day to day and barely make ends meet
b. Thinks they are richer than they are and spend money before they have it
c. Creates debt faster than assets
d. Constantly complains about the “greedy rich people”
e. Don’t support many charities but rather depend on a few
f. Relies on society handouts, assistance or pensions to get by
g. Prefers not to think of their financial future
h. Hold other people back by convincing them how bad rich people are

The above points are not there to point out good or bad. The first person is no better human being than the second person. I’m simply pointing out some key attitudes that will either propel you into your successful financial future or will hold you back like a ball and chain.

You can learn to invest and take charge of your own financial future. This is what I did when I finally ordered the DVD with Jamie McIntyre. It took me 12 months to finally decide to take the opportunity to change my financial future. This time I read a new ad in the paper and this time it was free. Well, I had put my wealth education on hold for 12 month for the measly price of $97. What can I say? I’m not proud of this poor excuse and still it taught me a valuable lesson; stop thinking like a pauper, Sean. Step aside from the mainstream attitudes of society and take charge of your own future. Do it and do it now! And so I did.

You can read my testimonial that I wrote after quitting my day job forever. It is here in this blog. I joined 21st Century Academy in January 2004 and the rest is history. I changed my path. It wasn’t hard, it just took effort. No more effort however, than it takes to struggle along day to day in the Rat Race of society.

To your continued success
