What Really Impedes Your Wealth Development?
Friday, November 21st, 2008
What is it that is really, truly, keeping you from being wealthy? Or, what has it been in the past that has kept you from being wealthy that you have overcome to finally find financial success? Do the traces remain?
Finding The Real Reasons
For everything there is a reason. Whatever it is that has kept you from being wealthy in the past, there was something at the heart of the matter. Now, when asked the questions above, people will often, and often sarcastically, answer that money is keeping them from being wealthy. But that’s not really ever true. Consider two points:
1. There is a reason that you do not/did not have money
2. Many people with huge incomes are not wealthy, either
Money is an easy scape-goat for so much of what we do not have and/or what we struggle with in life. But money is a thing, not a being, so it cannot be to fault for our financial positioning.
What is really at fault is the reason that we don’t have money. Those reasons can be many and varied, and may include things like
• A lacking financial education—are you still relying on what you learned in school?
• A negative financial attitude—conscious or subconscious
• Poor savings and investment habits
• Lack of action
• The missing success mindset
I’m sure that readers here can add to this list, too. Please do below and we’ll discuss it further. But before we wrap this up, I want to go back to one question I posed in the opening paragraph.
Do The Traces Still Remain?
Even people who have gained that financial education, improved their attitude, constructed a mindset of success and positivity, and remedied their poor savings and investment habits, can still remain in a state of financial struggle. Sometimes people make headway, and then end up back where they always find themselves. When that happens, there is a reason, too, and to enjoy lasting wealth and financial prosperity you have to get at the heart of it and weed it out. You may think you have done all of this already, but the results of your efforts are a sure indication of what lies beneath.
So today, in order to help you succeed and build wealth, I urge you to take a step back and figure out if there is improvement, or if there is an underlying reason why you are not where you’d hoped to be. Then use that to get at the real heart of the matter, and enjoy real success.
