21st Century Academy

I’m going to start with a quote that is making its way around my blogs; it comes from Napoleon Hill’s classic financial empowerment text, and it is a very good example of how simple wealth creation really is fundamentally:

“One sound idea is all it takes for a person to achieve success.”

One Sound Idea

Think about that. One. Sound. Idea. One single idea is all it takes to catapult your actions and efforts toward building wealth. All it ever took anyone to become rich was one sound idea. All it took Jamie McIntyre to be the millionaire and wealth mentor he is today is one sound idea.

This is very much related to our talks about how it only takes one step beyond the norm to be rich and successful. Taking a step indicates action. Before that you have to have the idea. One is no good without the other, but together they are a powerful team.

An Ocean Of Success Awaiting

When you put it like that, when you come down to the very basic fact that it only takes a single, solitary, sound idea to build wealth, it doesn’t sound that hard, does it? Anyone is capable of having an idea. More often than not people are absolutely bursting with great ideas; they just don’t act upon them.

Think about how many ideas cross your mind in the course of a day. Just one day. Expand that to a week, and a month. Now do you see the ocean of potential that’s waiting inside your head? Take just one of those ideas and couple it with the power of positive mindset and action that you learn from the 21st Century Academy—the guidance to guide your great ideas. What a winning formula for success!

Consider this one a post for anyone who ever doubted that they could succeed and be wealthy. Consider it a post for the overwhelmed, the financially struggling, the financially undereducated (which is everyone relying on an old-school education). Consider it proof that anyone can succeed and be rich. And now enjoy some time basking in a sea of great ideas, knowing that all you have to do to be rich is pick just one!

You are the company you keep, and you are also the thoughts you think. Just as we talked about the company you keep attracting more of the same to you, the same applies to the thoughts that you think.This is the foundation that Jamie McIntyre built the 21st Century Academy on. It is also the foundation that leading self empowerment and wealth authors built their success upon—leaders as far back as Napoleon Hill with Think and Grow Rich.

Positive Thinking For Financial Success

This is very much in relation to the mindset that is so integral to wealth creation, but what I really want to drive home in this post is the power of each and every thought you think on a daily basis. Collectively they are what make up your mindset in combination with your attitude.

This post is also about attracting positive thought. Remember that when we talk about attraction as it applies to financial success, we talk about the like attracting like. When you think positively and think thoughts of wealth and success, you attract more thoughts of positivity and abundance. If you think thoughts of stress, financial want, deprivation or need, you attract more of the same. That can be a hard cycle to break as you work towards building wealth because most people do come into this with a level of need or want. But even those needs can be turned into something positive—the positivity of working towards your goals, the comfort of knowing this need is temporary and that overall you are living well and building wealth.

Starting today, I encourage you to start paying more attention to the thoughts that you think. You will not be free from negativity unless you make a conscious decision to turn your thoughts around. The good news is that once you begin to make that effort the whole thing gets easier. You’ll think more positively, you’ll expect life to be positive, and you’ll expect to succeed. And with every thought, you will attract more positive thinking.

To Your Continued Financial Success
