Before you are wealthy finding the time to commit to a wealth creation education and to doing what it takes become wealthy—to taking action ands steps towards financial prosperity—is hard. This I know. You already have real financial needs and pressures. You already have multiple demands on your time, probably more than you can even attend to. So adding one more thing to the fray is almost out of the question.

Nevertheless, finding time to attend to your own financial future, to your own personal financial freedom and security, is the only way you will ever become rich, enjoy a freer life, and build wealth in a way that will be more sustaining while demanding less from you. You know the only way to riches is to put more into your day. I don’t blame you for hesitating, but facts are facts. Let’s explore some ways that we can do that, then.

Do What You Love

It’s an undisputed fact. When you enjoy what you do, you succeed more. This applies to building wealth, too. Jamie McIntyre is the first to tell you that there are more ways to make money than one. So the trick for you is to find the strategies that are of most interest to you. Figure out what type of investment and wealth creation interests you the most—is it real estate? The share markets? Insurances?

Whatever it is that piques your interest, there is a way to apply it to your wealth strategy. The fist thing to do, then, is learn about a number of strategies (and through the 21st Century Academy you’ll learn at least 8 to be used alone or in combination), and then do a little self-evaluation. Determine

• What your personal interests are—hobbies, career, recreations…

• What aspects of a strategy or strategy might capture that interest—in other words, can you find something within a wealth-building strategy that will allow you to capitalize on your interests?

• What interests or skills you have been wanting to learn more about or pursue—this is your chance to marry multiple opportunities and interests

Money-making does not have to be a sport of little-interest. It shouldn’t be. This journey should be exciting to you. You should be energized by the possibilities and the freedom to finally do something you like. Figure out how you can achieve financial prosperity while you learn to get rich (not quick, necessarily, but sustainably), and when you do, you’ll see that it’s easier than you think to find the time to develop your financial profile.

In a lot of ways building wealth requires you to first knock down the walls that have become an integral part of you. That is, to knock down the walls that have become barriers to you so that there is room for you to build a stronger foundation and overall structure.

Every one of us has something that impedes our financial success. Every one of us has things in our life—both psychological and more real, tangible barriers—that get in our way. These are things that we all have to overcome and move past, replacing the old with the new and the better.

First Step – Self Evaluation

The first step to doing this is to figure out what those barriers are. These could be very elusive things that we do not even know about ourselves—thoughts and attitudes that are ingrained in our psyche; subconscious attitudes (such as what we talked about when we discussed the financial subconscious). As Jamie McIntyre tells us these are very much individual thoughts, attitudes, and barriers, but there are several that are common amongst all people and so we can learn something about ourselves by learning from others like Jamie and other people pursuing financial prosperity.

There is very minimal success without first understanding that these hang-ups do exist and what they are. These barriers have a way of coming back to haunt you so recognizing them and working to overcome them is essential to your financial future.

Persistence Is Progress

The way to overcome these barriers is related to what the barriers are. For a great many of them rewiring your subconscious and your mindset and attitude is necessary. Moving through a wealth development program removes a lot of these barriers because so many are intertwined and inter-related. But regardless of what is holding you back know that you can surpass it and break those barriers down. You can overcome anything—physical, psychological, human, or theoretical—and you can be wealthy. With the recognition that there is work to be done and the persistence to see it through, every last barrier to wealth can and will be broken.

The idea that you can basically think yourself to wealth, that you can become rich by developing the right mindset, seems too simple for some to accept as a viable path to financial security. Many will argue that they’ve had wealthy thoughts, so why aren’t they rich yet? Sometimes the answer is that you’re not really thinking about being wealthy, you’re dreaming about it.

The Difference Between Thoughts And Dreams

A thought is defined as “an idea produced by mental activity.”

A dream is defined as “a sequence of mental images” or (in the case of daydreams) “a series of images, usually pleasant…that pass through the mind…” Other definitions of the word dream include “something hoped for” or “idle hope.”

When you read these definitions you can see one stark contrast between the two—one is active and one is not. Thoughts are the result of activity, whereas dreams are mental pictures or hopes that happen in the idle mind.

Jamie McIntyre’s Concept

Many people who cannot accept Jamie McIntyre’s concept that the key to wealth is in mindset fail to see the difference between their thoughts and dreams; they think they are thinking wealthy thoughts, when they are really just idly dreaming about images of wealth.

A dream can become a thought, or can be moved to the conscious thought process where it can become an active thought. Dreams are not bad things but you do need to understand the difference so that you do not convince yourself you are thinking rich when you are only dreaming. Put your effort behind thinking wealthy thoughts and understand the role of your dreams. Then you will be on the real path to financial freedom and making the most of your wealth creation education.
