A Future Full Of New Money
Not unlike many of us, the blame and excuses that Jamie McIntyre was using often focused on issues in the past.
“One of my favourite excuses was, ‘If I could just get back all the money that is owing to me then I could turn my business around.’ When my millionaire mentor heard this he said, ‘Jamie, you could focus your energy on your past and try to collect all this money that is owing to you, that is called ‘old money’. Most people live in the past and they devote their energy to the past. If you want to become wealthy you need to devote your energy to your future. That is called new money.’ Then he gave me another pearl of wisdom. He said, ‘I guarantee if you take that energy and dedicate it to the future you will be a selfmade millionaire well before you ever collect the money that is owing to you.’”
–Jamie McIntyre, What I Didn’t Learn At School But Wish I Had
Letting Go The Past
We all seem to have something from our past that we can blame for not being rich now. Most of us will even have some instance similar to Jamie’s where we are owed money, or some outside influence caused a loss of money, and if we could just get that money back now, we could use it to seed our prosperity. However, the past is in the past, and wishing it back gets us absolutely nowhere.
It is a far better use of your time and personal resources to focus on the future and to take actions that will result in success, and in wealth and financial freedom. Do what we learned before—do the opposite of what most people do, and capitalize on living for the future, instead of dwelling in the past!
To Your Continued Success!
