21st Century Academy

What are you living for? Are you living to work? Or are you working to live? Is life your priority? Is money? These are hard questions to answer because in some ways this is a chicken and egg scenario. You need money to live and to enjoy life fully in the modern age. You need to work to make money (for now). Without money you can’t live. But when you work for a living, you miss out on an awful lot of life, too.

The Way Life Should Be

You shouldn’t have to choose between work and life. In a perfect world, you’d be able to live as you choose and not have to slave for 40, 50, 60 hours or more and miss out on life. But the world isn’t perfect, so we have to do what we can with what we have.

In essence, this is the fundamental basis of wealth creation programs like the 21st Century Academy. However, those programs do not ignore the reality of money and do not propose that we simply accept the inevitable and dream of a better world. They give us better ways.

Better Ways To Live More And Work Less

How do you break the work/life cycle? How do you live better and work less? The answer is simple. Build sustainable streams of wealth. Make money work for you—make money make money! Live off passive streams of income.

Is that possible? It is. In most cases though, it’s not possible without first getting a financial education. Most people need help. They need the additional assistance of a modern education and financial empowerment program. The need it, because most of us never had it. School didn’t prepare us to live first and work second; it just prepared us for a job. This is why we need programs like Jamie McIntyre’s—because we need someone to help us fill in the gaps, and show us better ways to live more and let the money do the working!

The point of the exercise in the last post about interviewing yourself to rewire your subconscious was not to make you feel poorly about yourself. That is not the intention of any of this, and not the intention of Jamie McIntyre or the 21st Century Academy. The only intended purpose for any of this is to help you recognize those things that are serving as barriers to wealth and financial success. Only when you understand what has been keeping you from being successful can you take steps to remedy the situation.

Money Can Pressure Anyone

If you recall, the questions I gave you, which came from the 21st Century Academy via an eBook written by Jamie McIntyre, were all focused on the pressure that you feel from money. Many who answer these questions start to feel down about the fact that money is such a controlling factor in their lives. If you have some perspective on that, though, you understand that, as we said, this is not a right or wrong proposition. It’s just an evaluation of the situation.

People from all walks of life have answered that set of four questions. And except for a small group who has found their way to financial freedom, most will realize that they do in fact feel pressured by money. Note that this is people across all income levels! Rich people, poor people, middle-income people, professionals, doctors, lawyers, school teachers, ditch diggers…anyone, almost everyone, can and will experience pressure with money as the root source.

Pressuring Perspective

It’s important to recognize that, but it’s also important to find a way to move beyond it. Money cannot continue to be a source of strife for you if you are to achieve the level of comfort that you seek in your life. Accept that this has been the situation up until now, and accept that the way to change is to start, as we’ve been discussing, rewiring your subconscious and removing the invisible roadblocks to success. I’ll be back next time with more tips from Jamie on how to do just that.

Hopefully you’ve had time to come to terms with the fact that financial negativity is a fact of life, and that you need a change. So let’s take a short look at how Jamie McIntyre would help you improve that negative attitude, so that then we can get on to the better things in life—succeeding in wealth creation to live the life you want!

Deep Roots

As mentioned in the earlier post, your negativity towards money has very deep-seeded roots in your mind and subconscious. So deeply seeded that there is a very good possibility [probability] that you haven’t even realized you harbor negative feelings towards money, and/or that those negative feelings are prohibiting you from building wealth.

Even though there are aspects of negativity, or instances of negativity towards money that you can probably recall and point to, there are other, more harmful subconscious attitudes that you might not be aware of. These are harder to target because it’s not just a matter of stopping yourself from saying something or thinking something that is counterproductive to wealth creation. It’s about changing those very attitudes that you cannot control.

Rewiring The Subconscious Mind

One of the most powerful and life-changing lessons that Jamie McIntyre teaches through the 21st Century Academy is how to change the subconscious mind so that you can make room for money and success in your life. If this was the only thing Jamie taught you, then you would already have an essential tool that would make a huge difference in your life.

Rewiring the subconscious financial attitude is a process of revealing your true feelings towards money, and then taking steps to correct them. While this is a truly revealing process, and can sometimes elicit some mental anguish, it’s not a difficult task; that is to say, it does not require any special skill or even money. It only requires you to spend time in reflection, and then take actions to replace the bad with the good.

In future posts, we’ll start to do just that. Come back next time and we’ll start talking about some of the ways to rewire your financial subconscious and free you from those attitudes that hold you back—the ones you can’t even see.

It may not require big, cumbersome steps to become wealthy, but the difference Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy make in your life will be huge. It’s the sum total of everything you’ll learn with Jamie that will result in the huge difference in your financial and personal well-being.

Big Money Changes

Most people think (at least before the 21st Century Academy they think) that getting rich will require some monumental change in their life or windfall of money. In fact, it does not. Getting rich requires many small changes. Added together, these small changes result in one big change—a change to a better financial attitude, better understanding of money, better financial control, and better financial outcome—wealth!

Big Changes Are In Store For You Personally

The result is the same for you personally. By taking many small steps, and building up to wealth creation, you’ll have paved the way for personal improvement, too. You’ll find that as you learn to improve in the interest of wealth creation, you can’t help but improve the quality of your life as well. The kinds of changes that allow you to become a financial success also work to improve you, and not just because now you have the freedom to enjoy life free of financial worries.

The Sum Of The Whole

At any given point in the 21st Century Academy program, you might question how the small changes you make each day can really result in wealth. I mean, really, how can something as simple as cleaning out a closet make you richer (I won’t answer you here, you’ll have to see Jamie McIntyre for the answer).

There are many small things in your life that have brought you to the place you are now. In order to make that a better place, you have to correct the many small missteps you’ve taken. Nothing in life happens on its own. Life, like a fine gem, is multi-faceted; in order to get the biggest and best shine, you have to make the right cuts!

The most surprising thing for people coming into the 21st Century Academy programs is that Jamie McIntyre isn’t teaching big life change so much. The impact is big, but the path to that change is built brick by brick in much smaller ways.

Start Small

The kinds of changes that the 21st Century Academy will teach you to make in the interest of financial freedom—and in fact overall better living—are not huge adjustments. The sum of the whole is a big overall change that results in better living, more financial control, and financial freedom, but to get there you will go through many small changes.

It is amazing to see how small, really simple, life changes can affect your overall outcome. There are many little things that Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy will show you that will start changing your life the minute you learn about them. You’ll learn little things about

• Your attitude

• Your spending and saving

• Simple lifestyle changes, like de-cluttering your life to make room for abundance

• Thinking more positively to attract more positivity in your life

• Changing your perception and attitudes about money

• Many more small ways to change big!

All of these are things that you can do step by step, day by day to elicit big change and make room for financial success in your life. It doesn’t have to be painful to learn with the 21st Century Academy. It doesn’t have to consume all of your time. You can make room for these changes, because you can take a small, simple step, every day. And one of these days, unbeknownst to you, you’ll wake up and see how Jamie McIntyre’s small suggestions have changed your life big-time!
