21st Century Academy

Let’s start off by laying it all on the line. Everything we hope to gain from the 21st Century Academy Course, from the wealth-vision videos, and from our time here in general at the 21st Century Academy blog.

What You Didn’t Learn At School…

Here it is—what we didn’t learn at school but wish we had, so that maybe we’d have graduated with a real, functional knowledge of money, finance, and wealth creation! This is the list of objectives for the book, and for the larger course overall (because really, the book, great as it is, is only the beginning).

• The most important lesson of all—how to develop the millionaire mindset
• Why people fail—among the very first discussions we’ll have
• History of money
• Money systems and who really controls the wealth
• Why you need to understand the above
• How Jamie McIntyre succeeded—the education he developed from personal experience
• The difficulty with your subconscious and how to correct the problem
• How to start generating instant cash flow, regardless of what is (or isn’t) in the bank
• How to earn tax-free money from investment property
• The four key skills for mastering the 21st Century Education
• The five keys to financial understanding that we should be teaching and learning in school
• Unique renting investment strategies
• Eight ways to raise the money you need to start investing and building wealth—again, regardless of your current financial position

…But Wish You Had

I do realize that in your daily internet travels and in life in general you are constantly bombarded with lists and empty promises. This is not one of those lists. This list is a summary of what you can learn just from Jamie’s free book, and where his subsequent courses and seminars can take you. We’re going to spend a lot of time here in the days ahead breaking this book down bit by bit and talking over each piece. I can see now this project will take us quite a lot longer than originally anticipated, but that’s okay, better we take it a step at a time and really benefit from it than to rush through and miss the point entirely!

One of the leading barriers to wealth is the inability to get started. A lack of funding or seed money is one of the biggest problems people face. If you have read any of Jamie McIntyre’s materials, his free eBook for example, you probably know what I’m talking about. This goes back to one of the primary reasons people in wealthy nations are not wealthy themselves—people put everyone else first above their own financial wealth. The majority of people are not saving and do not make themselves a financial priority because there are too many other pressing obligations.

Part and parcel to this is the role that banks and established lending protocols play. As consumers we learn (from a very early age) that these are the entities that control the money. And without their help we are financially helpless. We become fearful of doing anything outside the financial norm because we need these institutions to survive.

That’s Precisely What They Want You To Think

They need you to think this way. Because if you do not then you will not need them. If you know how to create wealth of your own, if you take control of your financial future and make yourself a priority, you significantly limit the power and profit of these institutions. Because banks and lenders make money off the middle-class, not off the wealthy.

What winds up happening is that the middle-class live in fear of the established financial systems. They do not take effective steps to prioritize their financial lives because that might mean ignoring the financial powers that be. The trade-off, however, is that you will continue to be a slave to them and continue to be very low on your own list of priorities.

To clarify, lending institutions and banks and systems are not all bad. There is good they can do and good ways that you can utilize them to your own advantage. You do need to learn the difference, though, or you will forever live in fear and not live prosperously with yourself and your family and loved-ones as the pinnacle of your financial life.

Tell me if this sounds familiar to you:

• You’ve struggled through life to get ahead financially

• You resolve time and time again to find a pathway to financial success

• You have the best of intentions, and even take solid actions that should point you in the direction of success

• You enjoy intermittent success with finance and money

• Inevitably something steps in and puts you right back where you started (or possibly even further behind)

• You begin again, and experience the same scenario again

• And again

• And again

…And you just can’t figure out why.

You Are Not Alone

If this seems like the story of your life, don’t dismay—you are not alone! This has been the story for so many working with the 21st Century Academy. This was Jamie McIntyre’s story, and mine, too. I dare say that unless you are one of the few who were raised and educated differently from the rest of the modern world; this is the story of your financial life. But do you know why?

As I’ve Been Saying

This is an illustration of exactly what we’ve been talking about as we dissect the financial subconscious and the effect it has on life. This is exactly what happens when your negative financial subconscious works against you, undermining the best conscious efforts. This is what happens when you link money to pain in your subconscious and your subconscious works to protect you from that pain.

This is the treadmill-effect that financial pain and negativity have on your life. This is why you can enjoy some financial success and think you’ve finally figured it out this time, but then fall right back and have to start again all over.

You Can Win The Battle And Get Off the Treadmill

This is a battle you can win. You can win it once you understand what is happening, and understand the need to start with the fundamentals of psychology. This is what programs like the 21st Century Academy do. With Jamie McIntyre, you can get off that treadmill and stop starting over and over again. And finally, with the right direction, you can move beyond it and never have to start over financially again!

Today we’ll be using the list from the last post to complete the exercise designed by Jamie McIntyre, offered through the 21st Century Academy, to rewire the way your subconscious mind views money. We’re going to take a look at the most limiting beliefs you hold towards money and use them to answer some questions and create a plan of action.

Answer Me This

Answer yourself this—what I think doesn’t matter. This is all about how your mind twists money into negativity and prevents you from being a financial success.

The next step is to take that list and just answer a few questions, again provided by Jamie McIntyre. They are:

1. What are my most limiting beliefs about having absolute financial abundance?

2. What specific amount of money represents financial abundance to me?

3. What will I do today toward developing a financial plan?

4. What did I learn today that I can use to make progress?

5. What financial terms and aspects of personal finance do I not currently understand?

6. Why am I committed to follow through?

7. Give one or two situations from the past when you pulled through despite difficulty.

Start Moving Forward

I like this exercise because is gives you valuable insight into your subconscious mind, making you aware of how you are hindering your own wealth creation without even knowing it. I also like it because it gives you small steps you can take today even without the complete benefit of the 21st Century Academy to start moving forward. Additionally, those actions are small enough to be implemented without interfering with anything else in your life.

I hope this exercise provides the insight and enough action that you need to start enjoying success with money today. I wish you all the best and hope to see you back here soon so that I can help you learn to go further and do even more!
