Have you ever thought about this question? Even more powerful, have you started to articulate, write and / or describe what your wealth is going to fund? Napoleon Hill shared his six secrets to becoming rich in his book Think and Grow Rich. One of the requirements was to define what will be given in return for your desires to turn to gold.

Many people know exactly what kind of car, trip or house they want, but they don't take the time to think about what it is they will give back in return for these riches.

Few things can be more motivating than to outline how you wish to leave your legacy in this life with the wealth that you have obtained. Go beyond thinking about this legacy and what you want to fund and actually write it out in detail. Take the time right now and actually begin writing out what your wealth will fund!

Take out a piece of paper or a journal and begin writing, "In return for my wealth, I intend to use it to ?. (Write down what it is you intent to do)." For example, someone could write, "In return for my wealth, I intend to use it to fund teacher appreciation grants so that teachers who go beyond their normal teaching duties are recognized for their important contribution to the enrichment of student's lives."

Twice a day, for the next 30 days, read what it is you intend to do with your wealth and begin to add more and more details to your vision. For example, you've determined what you will fund, but now you have to explain how it will be carried out. Will you fund it monthly, quarterly, yearly? What are the criteria for funding? Who will present the funds? Will there be a ceremony when the check is given to the recipients? What does it feel like to be associated with this cause?

Can you feel the excitement in funding something worthwhile and important to YOU? Does this make you more motivated to acquiring wealth? It should, because it's a part of you that is being left behind as a lasting imprint on other people's lives.

As your wealth-funding vision becomes stronger and clearer, a plan will emerge as well as new and exciting opportunities for generating the money to fund your vision.

Congratulations! Now you are ready to receive and build your wealth!
