What Does Wealth Do?
You have to be wealthy to have wealth; you have to know what that means to be that; when you do, you can start taking wealthy actions to obtain the things and privileges that the wealthy have, that you seek. The only remaining question, then, is this—what do the wealthy do?
Taking Wealthy Action
If we are to change and start acting wealthy, to start taking the wealthy actions that build wealth, we have to have an idea of what wealthy actions are—just as we had to decide what wealth is. And just like defining wealth, there are many, many different things that the wealthy do.
We know what Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy says, in basic terms, about acting wealthy. He says that the wealthy make money work for them, and they don’t work for money (of course we know he says a lot more, too, but that’s just one example). This is the end-goal that we are working towards, but there are even smaller, more specific actions that the wealthy take, things that they do, in order to do that. Some of those actions may include
• Learning about money
• Investing
• Saving
• Gaining a perspective on what money really is, how it works
• Choosing the way money is managed
The list could go on and on, down to the finest points and actions. And you should feel free to add to it. But what I really want you to understand is that not every action that the wealthy take requires a sum of large money. Many do not. And many can be taken even at much smaller levels. You can invest in something small and let it build; use that wealth as a springboard to more.
Wealthy action can even mean just changing the way you think about money. It could mean beginning a habit of thinking about money (positively). Some of you may be living on financial auto-pilot and not really acting with your money at all. It could mean choosing to save for something better in life rather than spending now. It could mean choosing not to allow money to cause you pressure so that you have the clarity of mind to build wealth.
Whatever it is, define some wealthy actions and take at least one of those actions every day. Act upon your wealth creation now. Let the cycle thrive and grow by being and acting in wealthy ways.
To Your Continued Financial Success

It can be difficult to change your pattern when it comes to dealing with money. Discomfort with making the neccessary changes usually leads to excuses and a lapse back into old habits.
By pushing through this discomfort, you will find that new “healthy” habits will form and positive results will occur. Once the new pattern is a habit, there is no real effort involved as you are no longer having to be consciously focused on the task.
