[I79]I Want To Be Rich

by Faye B. Roberts, Fay

Do you want to be rich and have what being rich brings to your life? I want to BE RICH. Do you know how to be rich? By saying that we are saying we want to have changes in our lives. Are they major changes or are they minor changes. That would depend on where you are at in your life and what being rich means to you.

What exactly is meant by the term rich? Do we all put the same value on a dollar? Can you have no money and feel you are rich or is it the money value that makes you Rich? Not everyone will see being rich in the say way or use it in the same context. I did a small survey and asked 10 people this Question "What does Being Rich mean to you? Here is the response I got.

Rod from British Columbia - "Money, lots of money. It's not having to look in your wallet, bank account or credit card statement any more, ever."

Joseph from Manitoba - "Freedom to do the things you love when you choose to do them. Napolean Hill puts it very well in the first chapter of Think & Grow Rich. He lists 12 things, I believe, that constitute riches. Money is only one of them and without the others, money means nothing. The others include health, peace of mind, etc."

Terry from Illinois -I think that being rich is a freedom. That's it freedom. Now to figure out how to be rich.

Larry from Kansas - "Money, Lots of money, millions of dollars, fancy sports cars, big beach front houses, no travel restrictions. Nothing dictating when I have to get some sleep and more alarm clocks waking me up when I'm still tired. I would be rich when I had five million dollars in the bank, and everything else I want paid in full. Yes, I want to be rich"

Phil from Maryland - "Although I have never been really rich in terms of money, I have been richly blessed with family and with relationships. Now, with new opportunities, I foresee myself becoming rich monetarily as well as the result of services I am able to provide to help others. In one sense, being rich is simply a state of mind. In another, it means being able to do the things I want to do when I want to do them."

Dee from Alberta - "The first thing that comes to mind is money but being rich means being happy with what have."

Bobbi from Alberta - "Rich to me means having the resources to enjoy life to it's fullest with my friends and loved ones."

Joel from Ontario - "Choices and time freedom. It's the ultimate way to live life, not having to worry about what you want to do, how much something costs, and you can always choose to do whatever you want tomorrow."

The answer to the question what does being rich mean to you is defiantly in the eye of the beholder. It can mean anything from comfort and security to ultimate wealth. But in every answer I got money is defiantly at the root of it but the amount that is needed will be different for every person.

Now for the changes it takes to have the lifestyle you want, deserve and should have. You could go back to school but is a better job going to get you to where you want to be. Probably not! With the Internet now, owning and operating a home based business is easy. There are many business opportunities that will allow you to live the lifestyle you want when you say I want to be rich. My question to you is what is it you are doing to be rich?

When most people say 'I want to be rich' they don't actually believe that they can ever achieve this goal. Let's face it, if they don't believe in themselves then what hope do they have of ever achieving anything.

Another reason why 'I want to be rich' prayers are rarely answered is because most people don't actually know what being rich is? This may sound like a weird concept but have you ever taken the time to clearly define what being rich is? Well if you are serious about becoming rich then it is time that you sat down and figured out what being rich actually means to you.

What are your reasons for wanting to be rich?

- Don't have to work
- Get to spend your time exactly how you want to
- Travel the World
- Help others
- Spend more time with your family
- Not have to worry about money
- Never have to say "I can't afford that" again

All of these answers are very typical for someone who has just proclaimed "I want to be rich" but how come most people never get close to achieving any of these goals?

The reason most people never actually become rich is the exact same reason why most people never achieve any of their big goals. First of all they don't ever define what their goals actually are and second of all they don't believe that they can achieve them. One of my all time favorite quotes sums this up perfectly

“Whether you think you can or can't, either way you are right”
Henry Ford

Most people overestimate how much money you need to retire from your job You don't actually need 10 million dollars to live your dreams, unless of course your dreams include a private Learjet. So next time you say 'I want to be rich' don't leave it at that - instead follow these steps below and who knows one day you might even become rich.

Step One: Think about why you want to be rich

Step Two: Think about how much money/equity you would need to live these dreams

Step Three: Decide what is the best way to achieve this equity - Business, Shares, Property?

Step Four: Knowledge, Knowledge, Knowledge - Research your chosen field

Step Five: Create a plan - Saying I want to be rich is NOT a plan

Step Six: Follow the plan

Like most things that you do, becoming rich is 90% in your mind. Rather than looking for miracles I recommend that you start by following the above steps and working on your mind. Next time you hear someone say "I want to be rich" why don't you ask them why? And what do they consider the definition of being rich? So before you start yelling 'show me the money' I recommend that you start thinking about exactly why you want to be rich.
