What Does Being Wealthy Mean To You?
We kind of stumbled along through the last two posts where I talked about how you need to be wealthy so that you can take wealthy actions and go on to have wealth. It’s something of a difficult concept to explain, but I hope that you followed along with me. I think from here I can start to make this clearer.
Define What Wealth Is To You
We know that the first step to being wealthy is to be that person—to start living today as a wealthy person; to accept and believe that that is who you are. Because you cannot be both wealthy and poor, right?
Now, let’s take some time and try to work out how you can do that, even now, even without six figures in the bank.
Before you can be something you need to know what it means to be that person. To be wealthy, you have to figure out what that means. Now, I can’t give you all the answers here. Being wealthy means different things to different people. And there are different levels of wealth, and more ways than one to be wealthy. To start being wealthy, you have to compile a list of attributes and characteristics that wealthy people have. You have to know what it is that you are striving to be.
The best way to do this is probably to just get in touch with your own thoughts and goals. Figure out what wealth means to you so that you can start incorporating that into your mind process. Brainstorm a list, as long or short as you want, but probably the more the better, of characteristics of the wealthy—a list of what wealthy people are. And this doesn’t have to be a list of numbers. Wealthy people are not numbers, they are people with strengths and weaknesses (but let’s focus on the strengths here). This list could include words like
• Strong
• Smart
• Educated (not necessarily university educated, could be a wealth creation education like the 21st Century Academy, or a real-world education)
• Confident
• Savvy
• Comfortable
• Motivated
Find the words that work for you, even on a general level. Look within yourself, too, and find characteristics of the wealthy. Also look for what you might need to change.
When you know what it is to be wealthy you can start being that person. You know the next step; it is to start taking wealthy actions. And you know where it leads from there. Take the first step now. Know the wealthy person you want to be. And be it!
To Your Continued Financial Success
