This is a continuation of yesterday’s post on the law of attraction. This is an interesting concept which can certainly make a difference in many aspects of your life!
One in 37 of the American population has a net worth in excess of 1 million dollars. Although the first million is clearly the toughest to make, it is not all that difficult to acquire a net worth of over 1 million dollars. Every single person reading this should be able to achieve that goal within two years.
What does it mean to be WEALTHY? Wealth is more about an attitude than it is about material things. As an example, if you have the confidence to invest in a venture – knowing full well that you have a risk of loss of a million dollars – and you are willing and able to do that without putting yourself and/or your family in jeopardy; then I would say you are WEALTHY.
Wealthy people have a different mindset – A MILLIONAIRE MINDSET. Here are the specific methods you will need to turn your mind into a MILLIONAIRE MIND!
Affirmations are very popular today and I absolutely believe in the power of positive affirmations. It is all well and good to affirm your goals. What this program is about is showing you a STEP-BY-STEP PROGRAM to become WEALTHY in an incredibly short period of time. Any person reading this can follow the specific steps and get the specific results.
I have reviewed the works of numerous others in developing this article. One of these authors – Dr. Dolf DeRoos – did a nine month study of the wealthy quite some time ago. He found that there were very few commonalities among them. Two common attributes did appear. First of all, the sustained wealthy had integrity. Second, they either made their money by investing in real estate or they held a large portion of their wealth in real estate (or both).
Zig Ziglar said it first. “You can get everything you want out of life by simply helping enough other people get what they want.” He also said, “Your attitude has everything to do with determining your altitude!” Then there is my favorite Zig statement, “I’m so optimistic I would go after Moby Dick in a Row Boat and I would take tarter sauce with me!”
Wealth Attraction is truly all about your attitude and your feelings. The Law Of Attraction works with the dependability of quantum physics if you follow the Step-By-Step methods I am presenting. The subconscious is an incredible instrument. When you learn how to program it, your life will positively change virtually overnight!
A confidant within one of the major Real Estate Guru Seminar companies shared with me some of their statistics. Approximately 97% of their students do not succeed in real estate investing. Dr. Dolf DeRoos experienced similar statistics before he began teaching his students about the Law Of Attraction. After making the study of the Law Of Attraction a part of his mentorship program, his success rate jumped to over 80%. My experience has been very similar.
As amazing as it may seem, most people have very negative views when it comes to money and wealth. Most of us have been raised in a way that our subconscious has been trained to view the possession of money and being wealthy as negatives. Sayings like “Money is the root of all evil” and “Stinking Rich” and “Filthy Rich” all come to my mind. Most Americans feel that if you haven’t worked hard for something, you simply don’t deserve it.
Now I challenge that concept completely. When I take a deposit to the bank, they do not query me on how hard I worked to earn it. They don’t reduce the amount of the deposit if the money just sort of fell into my lap, nor do they bonus it if I worked my tail off for it. It is what it is!
You have heard “money can’t buy you happiness” and I agree completely. At the same time, I would prefer being unhappy with money over being unhappy without it. Zig Ziglar tells us that money is clearly not the most important thing in life. At the same time, he ranks it up there with Oxygen.
Much of our negative perception of money and wealth is tied to a belief that there is somehow a scarcity of money in our society and in the world. In fact, there is abundance of money and wealth. The rich do not need their wealth to come at the expense of the poor.
As incredible of an instrument as the subconscious is, it is really not very smart. It does not easily differentiate between fact and fiction. It doesn’t even know who is telling it what to do. You will hear me say “Fake It ‘Til You Make It” before. This is totally possible because the subconscious simply does what you program it to do. If you tell it often enough that something is the case, it will eventually believe you and act accordingly.
As an example, if you tell your subconscious that “money is the root of all evil” – it will eventually determine that money is evil and it will take steps to protect you from that evil. At the same time, if you tell your subconscious that money is easy to acquire – it will start looking for it for you and money will “mysteriously” appear! Money gives you freedom. It allows you choices. I believe that each of you can make a ton of money, have fun doing it, and possession of the money will allow you to be generous with it.
Most people feel that wealth is somehow limited in the world and that someone accrues wealth at the expense of another. Nothing could be further from the truth. What is more normal is that people that gather money and wealth actually expand the money and wealth of others around them.
Take my world for a minute. Many of you know that, in addition to my real estate investing training, I run a successful mortgage company. Every mortgage that I do puts money and wealth in my pocket. At the same time, I am able to guide my clients doing the mortgages with me to greater money and wealth. It is truly not a zero gain game. My employees also benefit from my earning money. So do my vendors.
We actually live in a society of unlimited wealth and abundance. Most people’s scarcity view is associated with all of those negative perceptions we discussed earlier. They can truly be gone. You no longer have to have them! Most folks have a scarcity perception and therefore scarcity becomes their reality. It should not be your perception and therefore your reality can and will be one of abundance.
Developing an abundance mentality is absolutely critical to your successful implementation of the Law Of Attraction. Let me help you understand this abundant world we live in. Let’s say you produce a product. We will call it a widget. When you sell your widgets, the people buying them use them in a process that makes them a great deal of money. You and your widgets add abundance to their lives every single time you sell a widget.
At the same time, you make a 40% profit on every widget you sell. So when you sell those widgets, you are not only enhancing the wealth of the person or company buying them from you, you are also enhancing your wealth. And, oh by the way, you have suppliers that provide you with the raw materials that allow you to build your widgets. Aren’t you adding to their wealth too every time you sell a widget? How about your employees? Is there an abundance of wealth and money or is it in short supply?
Is there an abundance of wealth and money or is it scarce?
This abundance mentality parallels an optimistic outlook on life. I have a very optimistic outlook on life. I see a 16 ounce glass with an ounce of water in it as 1/16th full. I am the guy who is always saying, “I’m so optimistic that I would go after Moby Dick in a row boat – and I’d take tartar sauce with me!”
I am not sure whether abundance spurs optimism or optimism leads to abundance. It is a classic chicken and egg story. What I do know is they are very closely tied together.
Coming up, the conclusion to my thoughts on this concept.
