Creating Wealth- The Possibilities are in your Mind

Copyright ? 2006

You have probably read or heard about various wealth

building techniques. These are the truths that are valid

only for certain cases, but not in general, surrounding

wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest

for financial independence. Here are the most common and

most destructive:

¡è How much you earn depends on how hard you work If this

were true, then the physical, blue collar workers, who have

been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest

people on earth. Of course, this isn't true. They form most

of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle class.

If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long

day's work in your youth, you probably learned that money

wasn't a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who

work just for the money often have debts because they

comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful

things they lack when working.

¡è Being paid for something you enjoy isn't work and you

shouldn't ask for money for doing something that is

enjoyable. Check this with millionaires. They all have so

much money that they don't need to work anymore.

Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge,

satisfaction, fullness of life, activity, fun, and all are

connected to a love for their work.

If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do

something else that would make them much happier and that

enables them to realize their dreams. In fact, if you don't

enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it.

However, just because you enjoy your work doesn't mean you

shouldn't get paid for it - in fact, that is the ultimate

goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so it never

feels like you are at work.

¡è You need to be in the right line of business to amass

wealth. This must mean that all the people who are involved

in the same business are millionaires. Of course, this

isn't true. In each business there are winners and losers;

winners abound, even in businesses that consist of

distasteful, to most or impossible work like sweeping the

streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory,

pumping gas, selling newspapers, etc. On the other hand,

there are just as many losers in businesses like management

or being a stockbroker.

¡è You need the right education to make a fortune Are the

most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all. In

this case, university professors would be the wealthiest

people on earth. Ask them about their salaries, if you get

the opportunity. The truth is vastly different. The

wealthiest people are those who can convert their

knowledge, or education into money, in the best possible

way.

They can be highly educated people, like inventors,

scientists, etc.. or almost ignorant. Being formally

uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job

or the inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a

person to success - they can easily be experts without

having a formal education.

¡è It used to be easier Statistics show an increase in the

number of millionaires in the world every year. Talking

about the "good old times" only offers comfort and a

convenient excuse. If you look around, you'll see there are

people who behaved the same way in the "good old times" as

they do now, yet their success has been recent. With

technology and progress come new ideas, desires and needs

and there are more business opportunities appearing daily

to serve them.

¡è I'm too old or young. If you research the life stories of

some of the most successful people, you'll see that this

isn't true at all. Some became wealthy early in their

lives, perhaps from the stock market, while others found

their fortune in their old age. Ray Kroc, was more than

fifty years old when he bought and made the first

McDonald's.

¡è I don't have enough money to start. You have to spend

money to make money. This is no different from any other

excuse like the others, it's obvious this one isn't true

either. Many have made their fortunes starting from

scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their

garage and yet, they developed business empires that are

worth billions of dollars today. The other elements of

success are far more important than having seed money to

start a business. But yes, often money helps and it

certainly doesn't hurt.

¡è I'll begin when I know everything. Do you believe that

you will know everything someday? Or even that you'll know

enough to ever be really prepared now? The more you learn,

the more you see what you still need to learn. Success and

obtaining wealth is a dynamic process. Even if you could

come out of the gate knowing everything there is to know,

some of those elements will change immediately and many

will change rapidly.

If you don't decide now, nothing will happen. Live and

learn. Some millionaires have even allowed themselves to go

bankrupt and then, even faster recreated their wealth,

sometimes even greater than before. Money itself isn't the

obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy. If you're

really good in your business, don't worry, because someone

that will offer you money, a bank or business partner will

appear who will appreciate your talent knowing you are a

very good investment opportunity.

But you can't sit around waiting for this - make it happen.

Exercise, and take action as much as you can. Make your

workplace better or more efficient. After all, even if

someone else signs your paycheck, you really work for you.

Even if you are an employee in a large corporation - it

isn't your corporation, but it is the only corporation

through which you can prove what you are capable of right

now.

All of us have what it takes to become a millionaire. Born

winners, yet few of us know how to take advantage of and

cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our own mind. No

one can ever grant you greater potential than your heart

already holds. You need only discover its contents to find

the one true path to your success in life. Born with the

seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always

come from the inside. You will discover a new, deep well of

fortune - yourself.
