Thinking Wealthy:


Money is a concept. You can not really see or touch it(unless you are holding a gold bar in your hand) You can only do that with some physical symbol of it like bank notes or a cheque. The concept of  money comes with a lot of baggage to most of us. We have an inherent belief that it is good or bad and that wanting it is good or bad,  loving it is good or bad or that spending it is good or bad.

How we think about wealth might be holding us back from having wealth. if, in our heart, we believe(even subconsciously) that money is a bad thing and having lots and lots of it is a really bad thing, then chances are we might be undermining our own efforts, unwittingly, to get lots of it.

Money is not selective or discriminatory and anybody can make lots of it. it does not care what color or race you are, what class you are, what your parents did, or even who you think you are. Each and every day starts with a clean slate so that no matter what you did yesterday, today begins anew and you have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else to take as much as you want. The only thing that can hold you back is yourself and your own money myths

"YOU HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES AS EVERYONE ELSE TO TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT".

Of the wealth of the world, each has as much as they take. What else could make sense? There is no way money can know who is handling it, what their qualifications are, what ambitions they have or what class they belong to. Money has no ears or eyes or senses. It is inert, inanimate, impassive. It has no clue. it is there to be used and spent, saved and invested, fought over, seduced with and worked for. It has no discriminatory apparatus so it cannot judge whether you are "worthy" of it or not.

i have watched a lot of extremely wealthy people and the one thing they all have in common is that they have nothing in common apart from all being rules player of course. The wealthy are a diverse band of people- the least likely can be loaded. They vary from the genteel to the uncouth, the deserving to the undeserving but each and every one of them has stepped up and said, yes please, i want some of that and the poor are the ones saying. No thank you not for me, i am not worthy. I am not deserving enough.

That is what this post is all about, challenging your perceptions of money and the wealthy. We all assume the poor are poor because of circumstances, their background, their upbringing, their nurture but if you have the means to read a post such as this and live in comparative security and comfort in the world then you also have the power to be wealthy. It may be hard, it may be tough but it is doable and that is the 1st principle you must learn- anyone can be wealthy, you just have to apply yourself. All other principles are about that application.

Here are a few personal code for prosperity!!!!

• Decide on your definition of wealth- If you dont have a definition how can you monitor or judge success
• Set your objectives- You will want to know in advance what rich means to you, how you intend getting there and how long you expect it to take.
• Keep your objectives under your hat- Now you have embarked on a new journey, a new direction, it might be worth keeping it under your hat
• Dont be lazy about chasing wealth- Most people are too lazy to be rich. They might say they want to be, but they dont
• Understand that wealth is a consequence, not a reward- 
• Understand your money beliefs and where they come from-
• See wealth as a friend, not an enemy
• Decide what you want Money for
• Understand that money begets money
• If you see money as the solution, you will find it becomes the problem
• You can make lots of money, you can enjoy your job and you can sleep at night
• Dont make money by being bad
• Money and Happiness- Understand their relationship
• Know the difference between price and value
• Know how the wealthy think
• Dont envy what others have
• Its harder to manage yourself than it is to manage your money
