1. The Tale of the King and His Wealth by Arun Pal Singh

Once lived a great king who was getting old and wanted to retire. One day he announced that all his personal wealth would be distributed to the public. However one would have to earn his share as the king did not want the wealth to go to unworthy.

His wealth would be in the seven stories of his palace. One might take whatever one wished, he announced. The word spread fast and people gathered. No one wanted to miss this opportunity of getting rich.

The entrance was opened and people eagerly rushed in. Presented to them were common items of pottery, glass and earth. They checked every place. Nothing else was there. People got disappointed. This was not what they had expected. Many left cursing.

Others decided to try second floor. As they moved there they found things which were costlier but nothing which could be called wealth. Many left again. It was wastage of time after all. The king either had gone mad or played a bad joke

Rest of them pushed themselves to the next level through a passage that was narrower and steeper. Here displayed were some coins of lesser value. Discouraged quite a number left again. I was clear now that the king had really played a joke. There was no wealth to be found.

Few who were encouraged enough resolved to go to further. They had to walk a path harder than previous. Those who could not tread returned. Only a handful reached fourth storey and were rewarded with silver coins.

Joyfully many stuffed and left. Thank God! The day was not wasted on some misadventure. They had come from far. They were tired now. They did not want to go further. They had work at their homes too.

However, ten people decided to go ahead. It was a very difficult journey. The was almost vertical and very rough. Only four could reach next level. Others left, not being able to continue. Those who reached found gold coins in abundance. Two decided to end here and left with gold happily.

Two went further on a path that was almost impossible to walk. They did manage to reach sixth floor. It was a hall full of diamonds of finest quality.

Pleased with this one started filling his bags whereas other went into deep thoughts.

“What happened? You don’t want this” asked the one who was filling.

“I wonder what could be next!”

“What else do you want? This is more than enough for seven lifetimes. Moreover I can’t see any doorway” Other man was astonished.

“But there is one floor left” said the man who was determined and began his search.

“You have gone mad” said other and left with diamonds.

There was actually no door. The man searched every corner but none was to be found. That was until he saw roof and a rope hanging too small to reach. He jumped and failed.He tried repeatedly without success till he could not jump.

There has to be some way, he thought as he lay exhausted. There must be some way.

It was then an idea struck him. He made a heap of diamonds to reach and pulled the rope. A doorway appeared in one of the walls. Beyond that was a beautiful ladder. As he climbed a hand pulled him to seventh floor.

The king himself stood there “Welcome O worthy one! I can retire in peace now”

The man was appointed as king next day.

Nature too offers us a fortune of wealth that we can earn. Everybody wishes to be rich but not all are ready to fully walk the path that leads to. Most of us who start get discouraged by initial unsuccessful attempts and stop. Others remain satisfied with the nickels they are offered and leave the journey.

Rare ones have the determination to find actual wealth.

We can stop at silver or go beyond diamonds.

How far would you go?

2. Craving for Financial Freedom by Dinar P. Wiria-Atmadja

Have you ever felt trapped in a Rat Race and wished to retire quickly but rich?

Have you ever felt that you are spending way too much time working with your boss at your office instead of with those you love? Your spouse, children, friends?

Have you ever felt frustrated because you are so deep in debt that you think you won't be able to retire because as soon as you do, the money will stop coming and thus you won't be able to pay off your mortgages and credit card?

Have you ever felt that you have no control over your life anymore in terms of time? Think about it: can you take a vacation just anytime whenever you want/ need it and as long as you want/ need it?

Have you ever wished that you can work whenever you want and wherever you want?

You are not the only one!

Too many people are trapped in a Rat Race because they have to. There are too many bills to pay, and too many dreams to fulfill. To them it seems that there is just no way to quit their job and enjoy life, travel and see the world with their loved ones.

Most people work because their bills tell them to, not because they really love to do it. Most people enslave themselves to their debt or job, because (they think) they have no choice.

This is when the craving for achieving financial freedom come in.

Freedom to choose when to work, without worries about income cuts. Freedom to spend more time with your loved ones, without worries about your employment or your boss. Freedom to take an expensive vacation, without worries about retrenchments thereafter. Freedom to do what you like, instead of what you've got to do, without worries about whether or not what you like generates enough income for you.

If you seriously crave for financial freedom, finding a better job with a higher paycheck is not going to work. Higher paychecks would usually mean more expensive lifestyle, more needs, more mortgages you THINK you can afford, more responsibilities thus more working hours and more time to spend at the office instead with your loved ones. And there is always the same problem: as soon as you stop, the money stops.

If you understand this, you will come to see that financial freedom is not measured by how much money you make by working, but by how long your money can support your normal lifestyle when you stop working.

And financial freedom is definitely not about accumulating abundant riches. It is about a golden chance to live abundantly!

Imagine! With financial freedom, you will have more quality time to spend with your family and friends. You will have more control over your life to do whatever you want, whatever you love, whatever you're passionate about. You will be able to give more, help others, make your part of the world a better place to live! You will be able to spend as much or as little time with your business as you choose. You will be able to come and go at will.

What a great chance to live abundantly!

Is craving for financial freedom realistic? Yes it is. It is not impossible to achieve it. Ordinary people have achieved financial freedom. They may not have their own luxurious yacht, but they have the time and the money to take their family on an expensive cruise to the most expensive spot on earth.

There are basically only two fundamental things ordinary people have known for decades to achieving financial freedom:

1. Manage your time and money!

Time and money are the only two factors that keep people from achieving financial freedom.

To duplicate the success of people who have reached financial freedom, you do not need to have self-confidence, super intelligence, high education, great luck, hard-work or great career path. Although those are all good characteristics, they are not fundamental to achieve financial freedom. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

10

All you need is a good time and money management, which would also result in high productivity!

Invest your time in creating extra money that you can later invest. You can do that by taking up a part-time job or working overtime.

As soon as you have more extra income, be a responsible manager of your own money! Live less than your income so you can start investing. It is from investing in a business that will one day generate income for you and sets you financially free from having to work for a living.

As much as possible avoid borrowing money for anything at all. I believe everybody has been taught about the negatives of being in a debt, but very few have been taught to consider the benefits of being debt-free.

By being debt-free, you will have more money to invest. Ask yourself this question: how difficult would it be to create an extra $1,000 a month by cutting expenses and by investing the money you normally use to pay your debt?

2. Start investing in your own business to create passive income!

Passive income is income which requires little or no work at all. The example would be writing a book and get paid forever on it, traditionally investing huge capital or starting your own business.

As a passionate home-business owner myself, I believe that having your own home-business is by far the most powerful way to create passive Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

income. It takes only small start-up capital and you will have extra tax benefits.

It is easier to generate passive income by having your own business than by traditionally investing. If your goal was generating $40,000 annually you would need $1,000,000 to invest at 4% interest. Very few people have this much start-up capital.

But there are many ordinary people who have become home-business entrepreneurs and generated $40,000 annually by investing very small capital.

Finally, quoting Robert Bolton, "A belief is not merely an idea that the mind possesses; it is an idea that possesses the mind", the idea that even ordinary people like you can achieve financial freedom should possess your mind and you will not be denied. About The Author

3. Everyone Deserves To Be A Millionaire by Matt Bacak

Stop, take a deep breath, and examine your life. Are you excited about your current career? Are you earning the salary you want or even deserve? Many people feel stuck in a rut because they are not making the kind of money that they once thought they would. The good news is that you can take control of your situation and pick yourself up out of that rut. Everyone deserves to be a millionaire, even you!

What are the benefits to creating your own wealth? First of all you will have freedom to do anything you want, whenever you want. You can pack up your family and take a trip to Europe on a moment’s notice if you want to. You can determine when you will work and when you will take breaks. You have eliminated the obligations to anyone else including a manager that may be a nuisance.

Building your own wealth enables you to leave the corporate world behind. The corporate world can be very rigid in that you have minimal control over your promotion schedule. Most companies have a set promotion schedule and cap off the amount of your salary increases and bonuses. This stifling condition can be a thing of the past.

Along with newfound freedom come increased family time and a life style that is comfortable and relaxed. You will have the security of plenty of money to spend and retire on. You will feel in control of your life and finances. This personal empowerment is amazing and can add new vigor to your mind and body.

Enjoying your wealth sounds amazing, right? Why isn’t everyone a millionaire? Why doesn’t everyone seek out personal empowerment and the security of money? There are several reasons as to why the majority of people are not millionaires. A major reason is that most people don’t have a system to make it happen. They simply do not understand how to go about building their own wealth.

Many people also believe that they don’t have the ability to create wealth. They feel the notion of being a millionaire is impossible and only available for the “chosen” ones. Some people feel that being wealthy is wrong and greedy. This mindset needs to be adjusted because being wealthy is a positive venture that is possible for everyone to achieve.

To conquer these misgivings people should seek out a structured system that will help them create wealth. Look for a mentor or coach that is successful so they can help guide you along the process. For example, a mentor can teach you how to structure your business so you can take advantage of tax breaks that will decrease your taxes by 60-70%. A mentor can advise you on how to set up your business properly to avoid being sued.

Another stumbling block to wealth is if you are stubborn. Stubborn people may think they know everything. If you want to create wealth then you need to leave your ego at the door. Having an ego can hinder your chances of being successful.

Follow the piles of cash. Find people who have successfully created wealth and learn from them. Remember, it’s not only what you know, but who you learn it from. Learn from someone who is more successful then you.

Learn the tricks of the trade from someone that has actually built wealth and not just written a book about it.

Forget the past. It does not matter who you are or where you came from. Everyone deserves to be a millionaire.

4. Why Some People Become Wealthy and Others Don’t by Tim Bruxvoort

Regardless of whether you watch the Oprah Winfrey show or not, the story of her success is fascinating. You can't say where she is today is the result of any special advantages she had growing up.

In fact, she came from a broken family and she was abused as a child. She's also African-American and a woman, so discrimination was likely a factor that counted against her somewhere along the way.

So why is she now worth a billion dollars while many Harvard-educated, white males who grew up with every advantage only make a comfortable living?

Ever wonder why success seems to come easily for some people while others struggle at everything they do? What makes the difference?

Success at anything in life is predictable and can be duplicated by following time-tested principles that all millionaires use.

In fact, if you don't receive training in these principles of wealth, you can NEVER have it in your life. At least not for long. If you do somehow become wealthy without learning these principles, you won't keep it.

Want proof? Just look at people who have won the lottery:

William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988. Now he lives on his Social Security and food stamps which amounts to $450 a month.

Ken Proxmire was a machinist when he won $1 million in the Michigan lottery. He moved to California and went into the car business with his brothers and he filed for bankruptcy within five years.

Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million in the Virginia lottery in 1993. Today she's deeply in debt to a company that loaned her money using the winnings as collateral.

"Winning the lottery isn't always what it's cracked up to be," says Evelyn Adams. She won the New Jersey lottery not just once, but twice (1985, 1986), in an amount of $5.4 million. Today she lives in a trailer and all the money is gone.

Janite Lee from Missouri won $18 million in 1993. She generously gave her money to a variety of causes including politics, education and the community. According to published reports, eight years after winning, Lee had filed for bankruptcy with only $700 left in two bank accounts and no cash on hand.

Willie Hurt of Lansing, Mich., won $3.1 million in 1989 and two years later he was broke and charged with murder. His lawyer says he spent his fortune on a divorce and cocaine.

Charles Riddle of Belleville, Mich., won $1 million in 1975. Later he got divorced, faced several lawsuits and was indicted for selling cocaine. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

People have a "financial thermostat" and just like the thermostat that controls the heating or cooling in your house, your thermostat is currently set for the amount of money you have.

If you somehow receive more money than your financial thermostat is set for, like the lottery winners above, you'll waste it away until you are back to your set level.

If you want more money, or you want to keep the money you are receiving, you have to raise your financial thermostat. It's that simple.

How do you raise your thermostat? By learning and practicing the principles of wealth. All self-made millionaires live by these principles.

If you're not currently having financial success, it's likely because you aren't applying the same principles that Oprah and all other billionaires and millionaires apply to achieve their success. All that's standing in the way between you and success is the application of these general principles.

So where do you learn these success principles?

The best place is directly from people who understand the principles and have had success using them. There's no quicker way to get where you want to go than to find a mentor to guide you along your way.

The person you want is someone who is currently where you want to be, and is willing to teach you the wealth principles. Of course, not all Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

18

successful people fully understand these principles even though they naturally apply them.

Another good way to learn the principles of wealth is through the greatest success book of all time, Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. The principles you need to understand are in this book. You'll need to do some work to uncover them, understand them, and put them into practice, but they are in the book.

Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich is all about using the same resources that millionaires use to get the same results as them.

If you are not experiencing the kind of financial success you desire, perhaps all you need is a little success training from a mentor or by learning and practicing the principles in Think and Grow Rich. Sometimes all it takes is few subtle shifts in your thought processes to create a GIANT difference in your results!

5. Creative Money – Why Working Long Hours Doesn’t Make You Wealthy by Tania French

Most people measure money by time. They believe that by working more hours they make more money.

That perspective is hard to overcome. Since the quality of your life depends on it, I’m hopeful to change this belief in you.

First, write this down: “Only ideas make money, not time!”

Writing things down allows your words to reach the subconscious mind. That’s why, anytime you set your goals, make sure to write them down.

OK, so how is it that time is not money? Look around you. All of you know people who spend a lot of time working. And working. Their income is stagnant except for the occasional raise to keep up with inflation. They are not breaking any ground financially. In fact, these workers are most likely accumulating more debt as we speak.

But they keep thinking and hoping and praying that if they work hard enough, they’ll make a lot of money.

Wrong!

Now turn your attention to successful artists, entrepreneurs and just plain wealthy people. What do they all have in common? Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

They come up with a great idea. An idea that excites all their senses. And because the idea appeals to them, they naturally have great enthusiasm to implement that idea. They feel the joy of seeing that idea blossom and flourish. As a result, successful people keep creating and coming up with new ideas. They learn to discern which ideas work and have the confidence to discard those that don’t work.

Soon the benefits of their wealth allows them to relax and to unwind so they can keep that creativity flowing.

Yes, they work hard initially to bring their first idea into manifestation. But they also know that their continued success depends on relaxing and recharging their mind and body. They feel and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Successful people don’t exhaust their creative spirit by working at a dead-end job. They know, that creativity expands their world. Creativity smashes all boundaries. Creativity is the blood of Life. And they depend on their financial freedom to keep creating.

So sit down and do two things. Write a list of ten things you really enjoy. Then jot down ideas about how you can market what you enjoy. You’ll toss out most of your ideas. But you will find at least one that will grab your attention in a Big way.

You’ll need only one idea to change your life forever.

21

Just remember. Don’t spend any more time dreaming of the castles you’re going to build. Hold to the one vision of what you want, and act Now. You are already great within. You just may not yet be doing the great things without.

Transform each hurdle into a learning tool for further success. Wake up to a new life. Celebrate your wonderful creativity. Kick it into full gear and be amazed at your creative power!

6. Do You Have a Wealthy Attitude? by Rosalind Gardner

Wealthy people are conniving, selfish, lazy monsters who will steal your last penny if you let them, or so that's what I was raised to believe.

Fortunately, through my work and various associations, I've spent time with many of these 'monsters', and discovered that nothing could be farther from the truth.

In fact, over the years I've learned that wealthy people are the hardest working, most generous people one could ever meet.

Obviously, the fear-based attitudes about money that were instilled during my childhood were not only incorrect, they didn't produce more for me than a steady job.

And no job, no paycheck. No matter how well-paid you are, that's not wealth, that's a dangerous rut.

To me, wealth means income that is generated on a continuous and ongoing basis, whether or not I'm working specifically on that project or investment at any given time.

I knew that if I wanted to live a richer, fuller life, I'd have to let go of my old beliefs and adopt healthier, more productive attitudes to acquiring wealth.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

23

So I set out to learn about the commonly held beliefs and values shared by wealthy people.

The first commonality was obvious. Wealthy people all value their time too highly to exchange it for a paycheck, and therefore they work for themselves. The exception to this is made when they'll work for a company in their chosen industry to gain experience or be mentored.

Truly wealthy folks know that there is no such thing as 'get r*ch quick' and understand that businesses are built, and wealth is acquired, through being of service to others. They find a need and fill it with excellent products and highly quality customer service. Having their customers' trust and support, their businesses stand the test of time.

All, without fail, regularly give a portion of their time and money to help those less fortunate.

The wealthy also place great emphasis on healthy nutrition and regular exercise. After their work day is over, rather than flop on the couch to watch a rerun of 'Friends' (and West Wing, and Coronation Street, and Frasier...) they'll opt for a run or a friendly game of squash. They understand that exercise is an activity that creates energy, whereas succumbing to the temptation to 'flake-out' leaves you feeling even more exhausted.

While out on that run, they put the increased oxygen flow to good use by thinking, thinking and thinking some more. They forumulate business plans and strategies for the short, medium and long-term. They know

24

that their vision for a happy, solid future for themselves and their familes is built on goals and the specific plans to achieve them.

Family is their top priority. Everything they do is for the purpose of helping to improve the lives of their family members.

Above all, they approach life with gratitude. They know in their hearts that there is more than enough wealth on the planet for everyone to share. They know that whatever effort they make, whatever they choose to give, will be returned to them many times over.

>From that perspective, they have no fear, and it's fear, not money, that is the root of all evil. Fear causes people to hold on tight and act in greedy, selfish ways. Give to receive.. it's really that simple.

The 'good life' may seem like a lot of hard work, and it is! But if you truly want to enjoy the good life, then do the 'work' of setting goals, staying healthy, and being of service to others with joy and an open heart. You'll be delighted by the rewards work can bring when you approach life with a wealthy attitude.

7. The Wealthy Mindset by Dinar P. Wiria-Atmadja

What is the difference between wealthy people and poor (even average) people? It is not all the money that wealthy people have and the average don’t, nor the luxury, nor the lifestyle. It is their mindset.

A few lucky people have won a lot of money and become wealthy overnight but in short time many of them have returned to their prior financial condition too soon. There is no trace of all the riches they have once won. Very few of them can stay wealthy long enough to actually improve their quality of life.

Why? Because it is not the money and the luxurious lifestyle that make people wealthy. It is their mindset.

Real wealthy people act differently upon the big cash they can get their hands on and upon everything else pertaining money and possession. And this is because they think differently from most average people in the first place.

Let’s think this through and discuss the way average people think…

As soon as they can get their hands on a big fat check, average people would almost immediately go shopping. Buy the latest model car, luxurious home, or spend it on renovation, once-in-a-lifetime luxurious vacation… blah blah blah.

26

They think that in order to really become wealthy, they have to possess all the stuff that wealthy people would have, travel to places wealthy people would go to, drive the cars wealthy people would drive or live in big mansions where wealthy people would live.

Real wealthy people can afford all the above simply because they have higher purchasing power. Most of us, on the other hand, would think that by having all those above we just might be considered as ‘wealthy’. We tend to think that to become wealthy we have to ‘act’ or ‘live’ like those who in reality are.

Ironically, the fact is to become wealthy we have to ‘think’ like real wealthy people.

Once again I must say that it’s the mindset that makes people wealthy. It’s neither their possessions nor what they spend their money on.

Most of us go shopping while holding on to this principle: Buy now, struggle later.

When wealthy people go shopping they think: Delay it now, invest the money, and have all you want later on! They embrace delayed gratification.

Generally, too soon, the average people would end up in debt due to their principles of immediate gratification. And in most cases their debt worsens. Car loans, furniture loans, education loans, home loans, credit cards… and who knows what else.

27

As the story continuous, I believe, it becomes more and more familiar to the vast majority: In order to pay off all the debts, they become slaves of their own jobs after they realised that they had been “slaves of their own debt” for some time.

To them, a job becomes a necessity as opposed to a choice. It is chosen based on how big the salary is to pay off their debt, instead of on the satisfaction the job provides.

Can these people retire early? No. In fact, they wouldn’t even dare to think about it! They are too deep in debt to quit and to just come and go almost at will.

On the other hand, not only do the wealthy know the negatives of being in a debt, they also know precisely the advantages of being debt-free. By being debt-free, they have more money to save.

The more money wealthy people have, the more they can invest in their own businesses. Exactly these businesses are their assets that generate life-long passive income for them. True wealthy people have known

for decades that having traditional jobs would NEVER make them rich. It would make their bosses rich for sure but there is no way acquiring real wealth merely by trading time for money.

Can business owners retire early? Yes. Having your own business means having passive income for life (more likely even longer than that). If you work consistently on growing your business, you will come to a point where your passive income exceeds your daily living cost.

If this happens, you can choose when to work, where to work or what. Your choice of jobs will not be limited by how much money they provide. Moreover, a job for you would be more of a choice than a necessity. Even if you chose not to work, you would still have money coming in from your business.

This is what real freedom is and this is exactly how wealthy people think!

Ironically, I have met some people who sneer at the idea of investing in a business. For some reason they think that people who are interested in investing must be so much in love with money, or even slaves of it.

Most average people think that business owners must have become wealthy by the drive of their greedy, selfish minds. They tend to think that business owners must be slaves to their money and riches that they could actually have riches so abundantly now.

The truth is their mindset is exactly the opposite.

Exactly because of UNSELFISH reasons, business owners set up their businesses in the first place.

By having their own businesses which generate passive income for them, they have quality time to spend with their loved ones.

They are not too busy to go to their daughter’s first dance recital or to show up at his son’s birthday party.

They are not too busy to spend a one-week holiday with their spouse. They are not too busy (nor too broke) to be involved in voluntary social work.

The average traditional worker, on the other hand, would not be able to just go and have a holiday anytime he pleases. He has a too tight schedule to come to his daughter’s dance recital or his son’s 6th birthday party. And, hey, he’s too busy (and too broke) to do voluntary social work! He needs jobs that pay well and social works just won’t do.

Well, who is the selfish one now?

Most importantly, because the businesses wealthy people own generate passive income not only throughout their lives but also throughout the lives of their children and grandchildren, business owners prove themselves even more UNSELFISH than the average people do.

People with typical jobs will either retire broke or die poor, leaving their families with nothing (if not with their remaining debt).

By having the right mindset, you will not only be able to have abundant riches, but also a great chance to live abundantly: do all the things that provide satisfaction, spend quality time with you family and friends, and have all the time and money to voluntarily help other people and make your part of the world a better place to live.

Above all, having the right mindset will give you a chance to care and provide for your family even after you leave this planet.

8. The Differences Betweeen the Wealthy and Everyone Else by Jim Young

I recently received an e-mail from a young lady who had doubts about the principles of wealth found in "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". She mentioned a couple of past failed investments, and wanted to know what I thought about investing and financial freedom - whether it was just a myth, or whether it could be acquired. I thought I'd share it here for the benefit of those who have struggled with investing, or perhaps from ventures that didn't quite pan out. Here's what I wrote back to her:

"Dear ________,

I want to address your point below - because I think you make a very interesting point about money. I do believe that most people have a great opportunity to put Rich Dad's principles into practice to create wealth for themselves. You said "the rich get richer"...but remember, many who are rich did not start that way (many who have a large inheritance don't stay rich for long). In fact, they started very poor, with little to no money, and worked their way to freedom. HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES between those who achieve financial freedom and those who don't:

1) They have different beliefs about money.

The person who becomes wealthy believes differently about money than the person who doesn't. Example: The wealthy BELIEVE that "money should work hard for you" while the poor and middle class BELIEVE that Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

32

"you should work hard for your money". These are opposite beliefs - so, the rich keep FINDING WAYS to have money work for them, while the poor and middle class keep FINDING WAYS to work harder for money. See the difference in beliefs, that ultimately effects the person's behavior and their results? Another example: If I believe that every person is valuable, then what happens? I treat every person I meet with respect. What about the person who believes that a particular race - AfricanAmericans, or Asians, or Hispanics, or Americans are INFERIOR to their own race, or "bad" - how will that person treat them? With disrespect, or hatred, or both. You see? What someone believes in his/her heart correlates with how they will behave.

2) Those who become financially free never, ever give up - even after failing numerous times.

You mentioned trying a few investments that didn't work out. Why didn't they work out? I'm sure the reason comes from this one simple reason: you did not have enough information to evaluate the investment. So, even if you say "The opportunity was a scam", or "My friend made me do it", or "It wasn't the right time to invest" - all these reasons come from the fact that you did not adequately EVALUATE THE INVESTMENT. Evaluating an investment includes understanding the risks, having a contingency plan, and getting expert help to best make your decision.

3) Those who become wealthy never stop learning.

If you mess up in an investment, it doesn't mean give up. It means you look at the mistake and figure out why it happened to make sure you don't get yourself in that situation again - when you do this, you become Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

33

WISER. The poor and middle class try something, and when they fail, they either blame a person or circumstances AND THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT AGAIN. That's not good! Just because I mess up one real estate investment DOES NOT mean real estate is a bad investment!

I hope this helps - I'd like your opinions on what I've shared -

To your future.

Jim"

I'm still waiting to hear back from her - in the meantime, I hope this helps you.

9. Psychic - Concentrate On Wealth by Zach Keyer

It was never intended that man should be poor. When wealth is obtained under the proper conditions it broadens the life. Everything has its value. Everything has a good use and a bad use. The forces of mind like wealth can be directed either for good or evil. A little rest will re-create forces. Too much rest degenerates into laziness, and brainless, dreamy longings.

If you acquire wealth unjustly from others, you are misusing your forces; but if your wealth comes through the right sources you will be blessed. Through wealth we can do things to uplift ourselves and humanity.

Wealth is many persons' goal. It therefore stimulates their endeavor. They long for it in order to dress and live in such a way as to attract friends. Without friends they would not be so particular of their surroundings. The fact is the more attractive we make ourselves and our surroundings the more inspiring are their influences. It is not conducive to proper thought to be surrounded by conditions that are uncongenial and unpleasant.

So the first step toward acquiring wealth is to surround yourself with helpful influences; to claim for yourself an environment of culture, place yourself in it and be molded by its influences.

Most great men of all ages have been comparatively rich. They have made or inherited money. Without money they could not have Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

accomplished what they did. The man engaged in physical drudgery is not likely to have the same high ideals as the man that can command comparative leisure.

Wealth is usually the fruit of achievement. It is not, however, altogether the result of being industrious. Thousands of persons work hard who never grow wealthy. Others with much less effort acquire wealth. Seeing possibilities is another step toward acquiring wealth. A man may be as industrious as he can possibly be, but if he does not use his mental forces he will be a laborer, to be directed by the man that uses to good advantage his mental forces.

No one can become wealthy in an ordinary lifetime, by mere savings from earnings. Many scrimp and economize all their lives; but by so doing waste all their vitality and energy. For example, I know a man that used to walk to work. It took him an hour to go and an hour to return. He could have taken a car and gone in twenty minutes. He saved ten cents a day but wasted an hour and a half. It was not a very profitable investment unless the time spent in physical exercise yielded him large returns in the way of health.

The same amount of time spent in concentrated effort to overcome his unfavorable business environment might have firmly planted his feet in the path of prosperity.

One of the big mistakes made by many persons of the present generation is that they associate with those who fail to call out or develop the best that is in them. When the social side of life is developed too exclusively, as it often is, and recreation or entertainment becomes the Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

leading motive of a person's life, he acquires habits of extravagance instead of economy; habits of wasting his resources, physical, mental, moral and spiritual, instead of conserving them. He is, in consequence, lacking in proper motivation, his God-given powers and forces are undeveloped and he inevitably brings poor judgment to bear upon all the higher relationships of life, while, as to his financial fortunes, he is ever the leaner; often a parasite, and always, if opportunity affords, as heavy a consumer as he is a poor producer.

It seems a part of the tragedy of life that these persons have to be taught such painful lessons before they can understand the forces and laws that regulate life. Few profit by the mistakes of others. They must experience them for themselves and then apply the knowledge so gained in reconstructing their lives.

Any man that has ever amounted to anything has never done a great deal of detail work for long periods at any given time. He needs his time to reflect. He does not do his duties today in the same way as yesterday, but as the result of deliberate and concentrated effort, constantly tries to improve his methods.

The other day I attended a lecture on Prosperity. I knew the lecturer had been practically broke for ten years. I wanted to hear what he had to say. He spoke very well. He no doubt benefited some of his hearers, but he had not profited by his own teachings. I introduced myself and asked him if he believed in his maxims. He said he did. I asked him if they had made him prosperous. He said not exactly. I asked him why. He answered that he thought he was fated not to experience prosperity.

37

In half an hour I showed that man why poverty had always been his companion. He had dressed poorly. He held his lectures in poor surroundings. By his actions and beliefs he attracted poverty. He did not realize that his thoughts and his surroundings exercised an unfavorable influence. I said: "Thoughts are moving forces; great powers. Thoughts of wealth attract wealth. Therefore, if you desire wealth you must attract the forces that will help you to secure it. Your thoughts attract a similar kind of thoughts. If you hold thoughts of poverty you attract poverty. If you make up your mind you are going to be wealthy, you will instil this thought into all your mental forces, and you will at the same time use every external condition to help you."

Many persons are of the opinion that if you have money it is easy to make more money. But this is not necessarily true. Ninety per cent of the men that start in business fail. Money will not enable one to accumulate much more, unless he is trained to seek and use good opportunities for its investment. If he inherits money the chances are that he will lose it. While, if he has made it, he not only knows its value, but has developed the power to use it as well as to make more if he loses it.

Business success today depends on foresight, good judgment, grit, firm resolution and settled purpose. But never forget that thought is as real a force as electricity. Let your thoughts be such, that you will send out as good as you receive; if you do not, you are not enriching others, and therefore deserve not to be enriched.

The man that tries to get all he can from others for nothing becomes so selfish and mean that he does not even enjoy his acquisitions. We see examples of this every day. What we take from others, will in turn, be Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

38

taken from us. All obligations have to be met fairly and squarely. We cannot reach perfection until we discharge every obligation of our lives. We all realize this, so why not willingly give a fair exchange for all that we receive?

Again I repeat that the first as well as the last step in acquiring wealth is to surround yourself with good influences--good thought, good health, good home and business environment and successful business associates. Cultivate, by every legitimate means, the acquaintance of men of big caliber. Bring your thought vibrations in regard to business into harmony with theirs. This will make your society not only agreeable, but sought after, and, when you have formed intimate friendships with clean, reputable men of wealth, entrust to them, for investment, your surplus earnings, however small, until you have developed the initiative and business acumen to successfully manage your own investments. By this time you will, through such associations, have found your place in life which, if you have rightly concentrated upon and used your opportunities, will not be among men of small parts. With a competence secured, you will take pleasure in using a part of it in making the road you traveled in reaching your position easier for those who follow you.

There is somewhere in every brain the energy that will get you out of that rut and put you far up on the mountain of success if you can only use the energy.

You know that gasoline in the engine of an automobile doesn't move the car until the spark comes to explode the gasoline.

So it is with the mind of man. We are not speaking now of men of great genius, but of average, able citizens.

Each one of them has in his brain the capacity to climb over the word impossible and get into the successful country beyond.

And hope, self-confidence and the determination to do something supply the spark that makes the energy work.

10. Millionaire Mindset: Is Your Brain Sabotaging Your Wealth and Success? by Rick Miller

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have success with every they do? Do they have some magical power which helps them accumulate wealth that you don't?

Would you like to quickly get that power?

In a recent interview for the List Crusade program, T. Harv Eker revealed what he calls the Millionaire Mindset-which gives extremely successful individuals what seems to be an "unfair advantage."

(Note: To access T. Harv Eker's complete audio interview for free, see end of chapter)

Harv is the author of the best-selling book, SpeedWealth, as well as several highly-acclaimed courses such as The Millionaire Mind Intensive, Life Directions, Wizard Training and Train the Trainer. He is also the producer and trainer of the world-famous Enlightened Warrior Training.

He went from zero to millionaire in only 2-1/2 years using the Speed Wealth principles he teaches. He shows you how to instantly rid yourself of limiting beliefs that have stopped you from accumulating wealth in the past.

41

According to Harv, your subconscious mind may actually be holding you back from the success you want in business and in life.

The subsconscious is much more powerful than your conscious mind.

It's like an ice berg, most it is beneath the surface, and that's usually what sinks ships.

Ideas and misconceptions you formed as a child can affect your life right now. If you believe that money is evil or that money is hard to get, then your success will be limited. Even though you go through the motions to reach your goal, you'll always fall short on something that is critical to your success.

You mind will automatically stop you just like a thermostat turns off the heat at a certain point.

Harv revealed 4 easy actions you can do today to change your money thermostat and gain a millionaire mindset right now.

1) Stop blaming. You must take absolute responsibility for every result in your life. If you didn't cause it that means it's out of your hands. If you did cause it then you can change it and get a different result. What an empowering concept …

2) Stop complaining. When you complain you are focusing on the problem. The Universal Law of Attraction states that what you focus on expands. So if you focus on what you don't want, what do you think you'll get? Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

42

3) Use the power of intention. Take your current goal and double, triple it, or even quadruple it. For example, if you want to make an extra $2000 a month, raise your goal to $8000. According to Harv, the Universe usually gives you only what you ask of it. You'll probably find that the higher goal will spark your enthusiasm and energy and make it much easier to accomplish.

4) Bless that which you want. If you see someone with a fancy car, say "Good for him!" Don't use your key to scratch it as you walk by like a lot of jealous low brow people may do. If someone you know gets a promotion, congratulate him. This secret alone will cause money and wealth to start flowing to you effortlessly.

The more you practice these Millionaire Mindset secrets, the more you'll discover that you too will experience dramatic success and your income will skyrocket.

11. Is There An Easy Way To Attract Success And Wealth? by Sanoe Riccoson

You will be amazed at how easily it is when you can use the universal Law of Attraction to get whatever you want in your life!

This Law has been at work all along, but probably you never heard about it or learned that ...not having it under conscious control results in being bounced around like the ball in an endless ping-pong game.

YOU'RE THE BOSS!

The Law of Attraction means that wherever you put the energy that's in your beliefs -- there you are! Let's take a look at where you are now. Your beliefs, which are formed by your thoughts and attitudes, have been programmed since childhood. Your parents taught you to believe what they had learned about life. What they taught you isn't true or false - it's just their experience, their "blueprint" for either success or failure. They inherited that from their parents and their life experiences, and so on back for countless generations.

During your life, teachers and peers helped form your beliefs, and their influence, just like your parents', also sticks in your energy fields. But are all of these beliefs benefiting you? Did you form a conviction that you'll succeed -- or that you'll fail? Did you learn to trust in achieving abundance -- or experiencing lack? Think about this. Maybe some of

44

your beliefs are like junk computer software that needs to be eliminated so more effective software can be installed.

Nobody is a victim. What we believe forms our lives! Remember, the Law of Attraction is nothing more or less than our beliefs in operation. The energy we put into our thoughts, words and actions -- which are based on our beliefs -- brings back from the universe the circumstances that match our energy output.

NATURAL LAW IS NEUTRAL.

The Law of Attraction doesn't judge what you believe and it doesn't know what is in your best interests. It only delivers in accordance with the energy of your beliefs. For instance, if you believe that you don't deserve to have more money than you do, the universe will insure that you don't get more. If you believe that it's hard to succeed in any endeavor, the universe will make things hard for you to succeed. This isn't punishment - it simply corresponds to what you believe!

You can be in control. If your beliefs aren't giving you fulfillment where you are in life, despite all of your programming, you have the power to change it. So let's look at where you want to be and how to get there using the Law of Attraction.. It's so simple!

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS:

1. Choose new thoughts and attitudes that are aligned with what you want.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

45

2. What you want INTENSELY -- you get it!

3. Where you concentrate your attention -- there you are!

4. In essence, the Law says, "Your wish is my command!"

CHOSE YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS CAREFULLY.

Replace annoying and disruptive mind chatter with uplifting, positive thoughts and align your words and actions with these thoughts. This will create new beliefs, and the energy you are putting out will change accordingly. The universe will provide correspondingly!

SO DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT -- more joy, friendship, supportiveness, prosperity, emotional or physical well being, job success -- and just focus your attention on the uplifting, positive thoughts, words and feelings about whatever that is. The Law of Attraction will bring it into your life.

You're not alone. Everybody has been taught from the cradle the negative way to think. For some reason, it seems easier to think, speak and feel negatively than positively, so beware of feeding fear, anger, impatience, self-doubt or any other negative emotions!

When you have conflicting thoughts it is like trying to drive a cart pulled by two horses in opposite directions. You must reprogram the negative thoughts before you make real progress toward the success and wealth you've wanted. I've found one very successful method to help degragment or eliminate conflicting thoughts from the mind of an individual just like a computer might be cleaned up. They are energy Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

healers and they reprogram negative self-talk. You might want to check out: The Reiki Ranch (http://reikiranch.com).

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION will deliver circumstances to justify those feelings very quickly! It is important also -- and rightful! -- to think of gratitude, such as "Thank you, God or Universe, for even more love, joy, freedom, success and abundance!"

You also can become prosperous by learning to release povertyconsciousness. It can be easy, accurate, quick and inexpensive when you release the root cause! Classes in helping you find the root cause of the problems are available at Chehalis, Washington. Practitioners can help you by finding the limiting thoughts that keep you from your abundance.

12. Wealth Creation And The Values Myths That Keep You Poor! by Charles Goodwin

So much gobbledygook has been conditioned into us relating to monetary values that it is no wonder so many people fail financially.

Susanna came to me to learn about wealth creating but our conversation got off to a shaky but relevant start.

‘Charles, wow did I get value for money today. “Smirking Sam’s” are having a stock clearance sale and I bought a new lounge suite at 30% off retail. I saved a bundle!’

‘May I ask you Susanna, what this lounge suite ended up costing you?’

‘Well the marked price was $2,200.00 and I snapped it up for only $1,540.00.’

‘And if tomorrow you placed the lounge suite into a clearance auction, what would you expect to get for it?’

‘Oh come on Charles that’s not fair. You know I’d be lucky to get $500.00 for it. The buyers there are mostly dealers and bargain hunters.’

‘Mmm, exactly,’ I replied shrugging. ‘So what could you sell the lounge suite for privately?’

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

48

‘Probably $850.00 - $900.00.’

‘So what you are saying, is that your wealth total upon purchase went down by a massive $690.00 even though you received a 30% discount off of the “bigger sucker’s theory” price. On the other hand if you had purchased this lounge suite at an auction your assets would have temporarily risen by $350.00. That’s a differential of $1040.00.’

Susanna appeared offended. ‘But others would have paid the $2,200.00 for it and paid interest on their credit card whilst paying it off. At least I paid cash and waited for the sale price.’

‘That is true. The average punter would pay the full $2,200.00 plus credit card interest of about $300.00 - totaling $2,500.00. This amount is paid out of after tax income so they would have to earn about $3,300.00 to have the after tax proceeds of $2,500.00 available.

“Smirking Sam’s” of course, might have purchased the lounge suite from an importer who in turn bought it from the manufacturer. Beside Uncle Sam, there may also have been wholesalers and distributors involved in the purchase chain. You can readily perceive that each person values that lounge suite differently. Of course being a ‘depreciating value item’ the lounge suite will steadily loose value until it is worthless.’

‘Then Charles could you explain to me, how does one set the true value of an article?’

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

49

‘You came to me to ask my advise on wealth creation techniques, so I will answer the question “What is Value?” from the wealth creator’s perspective. Let’s start by destroying the myth of “supply and demand”.’

My student wealth creator readily agreed and appeared most willing to learn so I continued.

‘You might be under the mistaken assumption that the value of a commodity or product is relative to the supply and demand of that commodity or product. The academic purists have been selling us that line for decades. What poppycock!

The wealth creator is ever thankful that the concept of values is not, has never been, and will never be, that simple. You will notice in the above example of your lounge suite that at no stage in the selling chain has the supply or demand of that lounge suite gone up or down yet the value to each participant in the play is quite different.

Supply and demand, business trends and cycles, and inflation may well affect the value - but these factors alone do not set the value.

So let’s try my wealth creator's definition on for size:

“The value of any article is in direct proportion to the current needs and means of the potential buyer, and the current need of the potential seller to dispose of such item.”

A buyer's current need and means must be compatible. For example, a person dying of thirst in the desert certainly has the need for your jug of Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

50

water that you are asking a $1,000.00 for, but the poor soul may not have the means.

The seller's current need also affects the value.

For example, a lawyer, acting as the trustee of a will, may have the current need to dispose of the household effects in an estate quickly to finalize an estate, so the law-firm consigns the whole inventory into a clearing auction. As a wealth creator you attend the auction and buy an antique dresser from that estate at less than half the price you know you can easily resell the dresser for. Naturally your then current need to dispose of the dresser is different from the lawyer's.

A seller who is desperate for money, will obviously have a differing current need to dispose of an article than a seller who isn't desperate to sell.

Both buyers and sellers have differing current needs. The countless reasons behind those needs sets the nominal value in each transaction.

And isn't this absolutely wonderful for the Wealth Creator?

For the wealth creator, the word "value" takes on an extended meaning. The value is merely an indicator of the current respective needs and means of the parties to the transaction, upon the wide spectrum of potential values. The Wealth Creator merely buys from one end of this wonderful spectrum and sells at the other end.

‘So Charles you are saying, in regards to my lounge suite, I should have kept my eye on the clearing auctions etc and bought one similar for $500.00.’

‘No I didn’t say that at all.’

‘Then I still don’t understand.’

‘Your $500.00 is still paid out of after tax income and the lounge will be worthless in a few years time, so even though you are losing much less on the deal, you are still loosing wealth not creating wealth, are you not?’

‘I guess so but what is the alternative?’

‘Remember a wealth creator hates the words “losing” and “loss”. Simply be patient. With the $500.00, purchase various items from the auctions or yard sales that you will then on-sell for at least $1,000.00. Then if you wish, you can take the $500.00 profit and go and buy your lounge suite.

With the other $500.00, why not start your part time wealth program. Turn the $500.00 into $100,000.00 via the principles in my book and then if you want to, you can go and start your own “Smirking Susanna’s franchise” LOL!’

‘So my lounge suite has in effect cost me nothing and I can go about creating a fortune with the other $500.00.’

‘Exactly so.’

13. Got Wealth? Here's Five Simple Reasons Most People Won't Get Rich...and How You Can! by Jason Oman

What did I learn about wealth building from interviews with over 43 selfmade millionaires?

After going through one interview after another, I realized many of the secrets that make them rich while others continue to struggle.

When you understand and do what self-made millionaires do, you get to become build wealth like them too. If you don't understand and do what they do, you don't get wealth. It's really that simple.

Here are five simple reasons most people will never get rich and how to make sure you do:

Reason 1: Waiting to Start

Most people don't want to wait for success. But, at the same time, they are willing to wait before getting started on the road to success.

Do you see the problem here?

The longer you wait to get started, the longer it will be before you get the money, success, and lifestyle you want. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

Many people are waiting for everything to be perfect before they get going. Therefore, they never get going and never get the rewards.

No race has ever been won (or even finished) by someone who never left the starting line. Don't wait to get going. Start today on the road to success.

Reason 2: Being Financially Illiterate

The cornerstone of all wealth is understanding the difference between assets and liabilities.

The difference is this: Assets put money IN your pocket. Liabilities take money out of your pocket.

Most people think their home, car, and other possessions are assets.

But, the truth is that in most cases those things take money out of your pocket. They cost you money. They don't make you money.

Therefore, by the true definition above, those things are liabilities. They take money out of your pocket each month.

When you have more money coming in from real assets than you have going out to pay for liabilities, you will be financially free.

There is only one way to do this. Which brings us to...

Reason 3: Focusing on Linear Income Instead of Passive Income Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

55

One of the millionaires interviewed said it simply...

He said, "If you're not making money while you sleep, you'll never be rich."

Linear income is what you get from a job. You work for an hour and get paid only one time for that one hour's work. That's it.

Passive income is when you work once but continue to get paid over and over again from work you're no longer doing.

Investing in or creating true assets that provide passive income for you is your ticket to wealth.

Reason 4: Not Understanding or Using Systems for Making Money

A system for making money is anything that allows you to make money without your own effort.

In other words, it's an automated way to make money.

All true assets are simply "systems" of one sort or another.

Once you create or invest in a proven system for making money, there is no limit to the money you can make. Becoming a master of money systems can bring you riches beyond your dreams.

Reason 5: Not Being Persistent or Patient Enough Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

56

To finish any race, you have to leave the starting line and follow through to the finish line.

Most people create their own failure by either not getting started or not following through, or both.

To get rich, successful, and happy you must have the patience and persistence to cross the finish line. You must not only get started, but also follow through.

This may sound obvious, but it's still the cause of most failure.

Only by joining the small percentage of people who are willing to do the five things mentioned above will you have the greatest chances for wealth and success.

It's really quite simple...

Decide to do these things and you can get rich too.

If you don't do them, then - like most people - you may never get rich.

Decide now to master the ideas mentioned above and begin your road to success now. Then follow through and watch the difference it makes.

14. Ten Secrets of the Mega Wealthy by Deborah Bishop-Shotland

Mega Wealth, what does that mean? Is it Millions, Billions or possibly trillions of dollars? Is a mega wealth person Bill Gates or Donald Trump? Does the idea of mega wealth, multiple millions, billions and trillions make you wonder how they do it? Well, I'm hoping you're wondering because you want some, so lets see if we can answer the question and reveal the secrets of the mega wealthy.

First things first, mega wealthy folks know how they are, they know where they are going and they show up. They did not necessarily come from money - some may have, but many mega wealthy individuals are self made - and they did not necessarily have any extra advantages. So why them? The very first thing a mega wealthy person has mastered is how to think like a mega wealth person long before their bank accounts or business ventures ever reflected it. They became wealthy and successful in their minds and they made every decision and every plan with that belief intact and if things didn't work out, they just kept going. You may be surprised to learn many of the wealthiest self made success stories have at least one bankruptcy in their past among other things that could be seen as "failure" and as good a reason as any to stop what they were doing. Edison "failed" ten thousand times when inventing the light bulb, reasonable well meaning folks thought he was crazy however we all know how that turned out.

So, mindset, belief and becoming successful and wealthy in your mind are the first steps. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

59

Next key to mega wealth is vision. Having a dream, and allowing that dream to grow and evolve. Going after that dream with no idea of how to get there but doing it anyway. Becoming a person of action and vision. Using that vision to set goals and intentions that enroll others along the way to making your vision come true. Mega wealthy folks have seen many or their dreams come true and they know the secret is to dream big and take action, always acting from the end, knowing they have already succeeded before they have even started.

How many times as children are we told now to dream, to get our heads out of the clouds and get real? Turns out that we can get the last laugh here if we are willing to reprogram our thoughts and dream as big as we dare.

The next secret is getting passionate, that is the emotional connection to our dreams, the more passionate and excited we are the more our dream, our vision, becomes a magnet to all it requires to make it a reality.

Ask any mega wealthy person what they do daily and I'll lay odds that they will let you know that a portion of their day is dedicated to their own personal growth. The fourth secret is feeding your head with positive information, picking and choosing what you focus on and what information you will allow to infiltrate your brain every day. (Try unplugging from the media for a while and see how clear your thinking gets!)

Meditation, silencing the mind and clearing the head in order to bring the mind to crystal focus is another key to achieving mega wealth. Daily meditation spent letting go of the mental clutter.

Visualization, using your dreams, your vision and fueling it to an actual visualized scene of everything unfolding like it is happening. Every part of the picture, including who is there, what they are saying, what time of day and what clothes you are wearing. We already know vision is part of the program, now we are plugging in and making our movie about our future and get passionate... Have fun!

We touched on goals, now we are going to specify, setting goals is setting your mark along the path, it is key and the sixth secret to mega wealth. Setting goals and going for it, even if you don't have a clue how you're going to get there!

Tapping into opportunity, being in the right place at the right time and recognizing it, is all part of success of mega wealthy people, they tap into success, they see possibility and they go for it. Oh, I guess I ought to point out one factor here that I assume you already know, but just in case... Every self made mega wealthy person is an entrepreneur; they started with an entrepreneurs heart and moved forward from there.

The seventh secret is hanging with like minded people. Masterminding with other who have been there and done that, sitting down and talking about being a self made mega wealthy person with other self made mega wealthy people. It matters who you hang out with, it matters who you consider your mentors and alliances. If you "team" is stuck exactly where you are than you are probably going to stay right where you are.

61

Seek out those who have already walked the path. Read their bios and follow their careers, ask yourself, what would __________ do in this situation ? And follow their advice!

Number eight is following through. It takes persistency and consistency, is takes showing up, even when it feels like life is sending adversity your way, just smile and keep on. Hold your vision and practice your personal growth, stand steadfast and understand you will get there. This is the part where most people give up, and this is the past that the mega wealthy know makes the difference between mega results and mega nothing!

The ultimate goal with mega wealth is passive or otherwise known as residual income. Real estate investments that are income properties, land development, high yield - high risk - investments and money management, setting in motion a business that builds upon itself and continues to pay you handsomely even when you are doing less and less work! Passive, massive income coming in and multiple streams of income is the ninth secret of the mega wealthy. It's important to realize that diversification comes after initial success and not before.

The tenth and final secret of the mega wealthy - yes there are many more - may surprise you. It's important to HAVE FUN! Love what you are doing, enjoy it, reward yourself, and pretend to be the wealthiest person in the world just like a kid would pretend and be big and silly and engage all of your senses. Go test drive your ultimate car, and than every time you drive your car envision yourself in your ultimate ride, revving the engines and enjoying it's high performance. Dream shop, hunt for million dollar real estate, dream, dream and dream and once again, HAVE FUN! Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

62

This is so important to the equation and perhaps one of the more challenging steps as we are so previously conditioned not to have fun when we are making a living.

Making a living is not the same as making a life!

The promise of mega wealth when combined with the right opportunity and a like minded community is that it is available for everyone. They make million dollar homes for you, they make high performance and luxury cars for you, they make first class travel for you, (What's the alternative to what I'm saying; they only make these things for other people?) All it takes is plugging in and practicing the ten secrets.

Want more? Then start taking becoming the person and taking the action that will take you to the world of mega wealth!

Where did I learn this stuff? Well, by practicing what I preach and being clued in enough to recognize one of the key ingredients and top ten secrets when it landed in my path. The best way to become mega wealthy is to join a company that is mega wealthy and teaching others how to do it! I am part of a community that not only celebrates mega wealth as a real and tangible thing but shows others how to be a mega wealth person. Does what I’ve written about here work? Absolutely. Opportunity aligned with every secret revealed in this article will, produce rewards every time.

15. Get Rich Doing What Others Won’t by Daegan Smith

Tired of your having to rush each morning to your nine-to-five jobs? Are you getting weary of having to receive orders from your supervisor?

It seems that a lot of people are caught up in these situations. There are some people who hate their superiors, and there are also those who even hate their jobs! And yet they would force themselves to endure this grueling routine because of their financial needs, their desire to be financially secure in the future.

Who wouldn’t want to have their own businesses and be in charge? Who wouldn’t want to be free from being financially dependent on other people (like your boss)? I am sure it is the desire of almost all people to be rich, or at least have the money to live their lives in style. Most people would choose the easier way out to achieving this, such as playing the lottery or engaging in illegal activities (such as robbery or kidnapping). Others would opt for the “responsible” thing to do: be employed and set aside a part of what they earn so that they can, in the future, buy a house or a car, take a vacation, or live comfortably when they retire.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for everyone. What are the odds of a person to win a lottery? Very minimal! In addition, getting involved in a criminal act is not only against the law, it is also morally wrong. On the other hand, those people who work until they reach the age of 60 or 65 may find that they have barely saved enough to enjoy their retirement years.

While it doesn’t work for everyone, there are still the “lucky ones” who manage to earn 6 to 7 figures a month with a minimum effort.

Perhaps you are wondering, “How do they do that?”

So, what does one really have to do to get rich? The answer is simple: do what the others won’t (or don’t):

Short-term, not long-term. Clearly defined objectives would give you proper focus and the motivation that you need, which will give you a better chance of achieving them your goals. What do you aim for? Your first million? Write it down along with the specific time frame as to when you will achieve it.

What most people do not know is that having a short-term goal is a better way to get rich than a long-term one. The “one-step-at-a-time” approach allows you to make room for realistic scenarios that would enable you to execute your gameplan more effectively, as compared with a long-term goal that is full of uncertainties. Remember: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!”

Consider your options. Having established your goals, determine the means as to how you are going to achieve the goals that you have set up. Identify the opportunities as well as the tools available to you, and consider their possible returns on your investment.

A helpful hint here is to diversify. Broaden your horizons and branch out, so that it would be easy for you to recover whenever one of your Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

ventures does not work out. Also, play it safe. A steady income (a fulltime job, maybe) would serve as your security or fall back as you get involved with your other (part-time) projects.

Learn to take risks. This is perhaps what most of the successful people in the business world are good at, that others are not doing. I am not saying that you have to jump right away at every opportunity that is offered to you. Learn to take risks, but they should be CALCULATED risks. Listen to people who can provide you with the right information, but also learn to listen to your intuition.

These may be helpful hints on how to get rich, but in the final analysis, the improvement of the quality of your life depends on you – you will make the decisions on what actions to take. Try to adhere to the suggestions mentioned above: do what the others won’t

16. Multiply Your Efforts With Multiple Income Streams by Daegan Smith

With the current economic crises prevailing around us, it is not surprising to hear of companies that are shutting down or workers being layed off of their jobs. People are in constant worry of the possible downturns that may occur, be it in their careers, businesses, or investments, and so they recognize the importance of ‘not putting their eggs in one basket’ by venturing in multiple streams of income.

Why Multiple Income Streams?

There are several reasons why people should not limit themselves to a single business venture:

- The primary source of income may no longer be profitable. This may be due to an increase in overhead costs or a decline in revenue as a result of an unpredictable market that is in constant demand for new products and services.

- Personal preference. People may find themselves losing interest with their primary income source and would like to go into other business opportunities.

Whatever the reasons are, the trick is to “think plural” and consider getting into multiple ventures.

How to do it?

Perhaps the major setback that one may find in having to deal with multiple income streams is the problem of maintaining focus and pursuing multiple projects at the same time. This is true for almost all the tasks that we carry out in our everyday lives, that we often find ourselves not accomplishing much at the end of the day.

The need to focus in order to get a job done may seem to contradict the goal of dealing with numerous opportunities, and yet this is what every person should aim for when dealing with multiple streams of income.

The following are a few suggestions on how to go into, and cope with, the pressures of growing multiple business opportunities:

1. Ideas are important. A lot of people have been guilty of coming up with great ideas and forgetting about them, only to turn out to be a hit later when pursued by another person. In order to prevent this from happening, ensure that all your ideas are captured. Record your thoughts and store them either in your computer or in a manual file.

2. Organize your system. You have recorded and filed your ideas about a new income opportunity, and you have thought of something to add to them afterwards. The problem is, you cannot find them, and you end up wasting your time looking for them. Having an organized system enables you to have an instant access to everything that you need, whenever you need them.

69

3. Turn your ideas into reality. Never fear of putting your ideas into action, especially if you think that it has potential. Consult other people, especially prospective customers, if you must, but at the same time, be very cautious of these new ideas before working on them.

4. Do it one at a time. This is a problem for most people who, when given numerous tasks, often get them going all at the same time, going back and forth from one to the other and finding themselves getting nowhere in the process. This is where maintaining focus in the middle of several projects is important – do them one at a time until they reach the point that they are income generating and can stand on their own before moving on to start another one.

5. Time management. The key to maintaining the balance between multiple income streams is proper time management. It not only makes you efficient, but it also makes you effective in carrying out different jobs simultaneously. Making a schedule using tools such as the Daily Planner or a software program would enable you to focus on specific goals and prioritize things while minimizing time waste. It would also enable you to set standards and track your progress on your projects.

6. Learn to accommodate changes. An organized system and proper time management skills are not the only things that matter in dealing with multiple income streams – after all, we cannot control (and change) time, and unforeseen events come up sometimes. The important thing is for us to learn how to adapt to these changes and still manage to stay on track.

With the guidelines mentioned above, every person would now be able to handle multiple projects – without having to deal with the stress and the pressures that go with them.

17. Wealth Building: Let The Wealth Building Secrets Of J. Paul Getty Inspire You To Great Achievement by I-key Benney, CEO

One of the shortcuts to creating wealth is to learn from those who have achieved great wealth.

The late John Paul Getty is known as one of the greatest wealth builders in American history.

He was kind enough to distill his wealth building rules for anyone who desires to amass wealth like him to follow.

Do you want to be fabulously rich? Then learn from the master wealth creator himself, and follow in his footsteps:

Rule No. 1:

To acquire wealth today, you must be in your own business.

You may think that the corporate executive with a $100,000 salary is better off than small shop owner, but the executive will be hard-pressed to double his income and taxes will eat up most of any increase.

The simplest peanut vendor has unlimited opportunity to expand his business and his income, and even salesmen, who in most cases are able to write their own paychecks, can control his sale increases himself. 72 Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

Rule No. 2.

You must have a working knowledge of the business when you start and continue to increase your knowledge of it as you go along.

If you don't know what you're doing when you start, your mistakes will be costly and often unnecessary, and you won't be able to keep up with the technological explosions in any field. Start smart and stay that way.

Rule No. 3.

You must save money in your personal life and in your business venture as well.

Discipline is the key to saving money. You must develop the will power to deny yourself immediate gratification or the temptation to gamble on the quick buck. Resources will be needed for expansion and should be guarded carefully.

Rule No. 4.

You must take risks, both with your own money or with borrowed money.

Risk-taking is essential to business growth.

Nelson Bunker Hunt is admired for his guts in trying to corner the silver market, not scorned for losing money on this deal.

73

Some of the richest men have staked their entire fortunes and lost, several times over, before the risk-taking paid off.

Back those risks with good judgment, experience, commitment, And the right support.

Seek advice on risks from the wealthy who still take risks, not friends who dare nothing more than a football bet.

Rule No. 5.

You must not only learn to live with tension, you must seek it out.

Thrive on stress! If it means getting physically fit, having a psychiatric overall or losing 50 pounds before you can handle it, do it.

Once you can learn to thrive on stress, you will not only enjoy it, you will seek it out willingly and enthusiastically and wonder how you could live any other way.

Men of means look at making money as a game which they love to play.

Consider it serious business and you will suffer far more stress than you need or want.

Keep your perspective or your stress level will rocket beyond your control.

Rule No. 6. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

74

Build wealth as a by-product of your business success.

If wealth is your only object in business, you will probably fail.

Wealth is only a benefit of the game. If you win, the money will be there.

If you lose, and you will from time to time if you play long and hard enough, it must have been fun or it was not worth it.

Rule No. 7.

Patience.

This is the greatest business asset. Wait for the right time to make your moves.

Let your business grow naturally, not by pressing your luck.

Rules No. 8.

Diversify at the top.

Once you've made it, you'll understand that any business is limited in the challenges it offers.

You'll want and need other games to play, so you'll look for other ventures to hold your interest.

18. 10 Wisdom-Based Wealth-Building Strategies by Gala Gorman

“It’s the business of your life… and you’re the CEO!” Gala Gorman

Imagine that you’re Noah and God is telling you that you need to build the ark. You might suspect that Noah was a bit skeptical. Could it actually rain for such an extended period of time that a small ship would be required to survive the storm? According to the Bible, the answer is “Yes!”

So, when I suggest you build an ark of your own – one of the financial variety – how much convincing will you need? Fortunately, this ark won’t require a that you assemble a seemingly useless structure in your backyard and it won’t require a 1,000 year flood to come in handy either. This ark will be something you can be proud of and it will provide you with financial security every day of your life.

While any approach to creating financial security must suit the values and needs of the individual, these are the Top 10 Wealth-Building Strategies that I believe will ensure that you can weather any storm life sends your way.

1. Use the A-R-KTM Technique.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

77

A. A is for Accumulating Assets. This may seem like a simple concept but in today’s challenging circumstances it is much too easy to spend everything you make and more.

B. R is for Retiring Debt. Debts aren’t called liabilities for nothing. You need to work towards reducing and eliminating debt when everyone else is focused on using every ounce of equity.

C. K is for Keeping Commitments. Once you make a commitment to yourself to apply the A-R-K TechniqueTM, you need to keep it! You build confidence in yourself and others this way.

2. Prepare for the inevitable rainy day.

A. Understand life’s cycles. It is a fact of life that you will experience challenging times – in a way times like these are meant to adjust your course. Life’s challenges are much easier to face with financial security.

B. Maintain a positive AND realistic attitude. It might not seem like positive thinking to plan for a rainy day. I believe planning and preparation are the most valuable tools you can use to deal with life’s problems.

C. Develop plans for your A-R-K. You need a plan. God gave Noah a “blueprint” to build from. You need a financial blueprint. What will your ark look like when it’s completed?

3. Acknowledge where your wealth comes from.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

78

A. GUS is the source. Some call it "God", some "Spirit", others "the Universe", and still others have developed their own term to relate to. The acronym GUS (God's Universal Spirit) honors all the wisdom traditions.

B. Give back to those who gave to you – spiritually and otherwise. You might consider this tithing. Tithing is your way of demonstrating your faith in an endless supply.

C. Subscribe to the Universal Law of Use. This universal law applies to every department of your life. Get rid of clutter and anything else that isn’t serving a purpose. One person’s junk is another’s treasure.

4. Develop sufficient liquid resources.

A. Cash is King! I can’t stress enough the value of having funds readily available that can be accessed without a significant reduction in value. This is the “hull” your ark is built on.

B. Calculate your cash reserve requirement. Do you know how much you would need to meet your minimum financial responsibilities for a period of six months?

C. Define “liquid”. Liquid resources are assets that can be converted to cash without penalty or market fluctuation. You need a six month cash infusion plan that is easy to execute in an emergency.

5. Understand real estate investments.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

79

A. Own your home “free and clear”. Mortgage brokers encourage you to borrow every dollar you can – especially with interest rates at historical lows. With this approach, you’ll forever make house payments!

B. Use conservative values for planning purposes. With real estate, values can fluctuate dramatically based on factors completely out of your control. How much would you realize if you HAD to sell?

C. Are you prepared to run a business? Owning real estate (unless it’s your personal residence) requires you to run a business that you may not consider a valuable use of your time.

6. Understand equity market investments.

A. Evaluate your risk tolerance. Investment advisors typically discuss the concept of risk with their clients, but don’t face reality. Investments come with a significant chance that value will decrease significantly.

B. Accept that the stock market is illogical. There are many “systems” available today that purport to make the market predictable. The truth is there isn’t much logic behind market values.

C. Fund managers are paid even when they’re wrong. Most mutual funds underperform the market by 3%. This is in part due to the fact that fund managers are paid handsomely whether they perform well or not.

7. Know the value of your income stream.

80

A. Build a sellable business. When you’re ready to “retire” will the work you’ve done to build your business have lasting value, with or without you there? With proper planning, your business is a valuable asset.

B. Create lasting value from your career/job. If you aren’t working in your own business, you can make the most of the income stream from your paycheck and benefits. Take advantage of employer-sponsored programs.

C. Supplement with investment income. Your investment strategies can generate additional cash flow if required. Depending on the phase of your financial plan, you have the option of adding to useable resources.

8. Limit your “use” assets.

A. Depreciating assets are necessities or luxuries – maybe both. In most geographical locations, a vehicle is a necessity. Does your vehicle meet your transportation needs or does it satisfy a desire?

B. Know the hidden costs of expensive “toys”. We all have them – assets that are nothing more than grown-up toys. You need to know what those toys really cost to maintain.

C. Money buys experiences. When people are surveyed about what makes life more satisfying, the answers vary. Consistently, people agree that they enjoy traveling, dining and the outdoors. It takes money to have fun!

9. Set goals. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

81

A. Have a target you’re moving towards. Without a comprehensive plan, you will have difficulty adjusting when you face life’s challenges – financially or otherwise.

B. Define your wealth-building strategy. Once you know where you want to end up, you can determine which strategies should be implemented to meet your goals.

C. Embark on the journey. Just get started! Realize that you will have setbacks, but you will never get there unless you start rowing in the direction you’ve determined you want to go.

10. Protect what you’ve built.

A. Buy insurance for predictable losses. Property insurance protects some of your assets, but you should also consider the risk of losing your income stream. Life and disability insurance can provide added protection.

B. Add layers of protection for unpredictable losses. There are many ways to protect assets from the uncommon disaster – a lawsuit or other occurrence. Asset protection tools can help you rest easy.

C. Create a succession plan. Whether you own your own business or want to provide for your family in the event you are unable to do so, any effective financial plan should consider succession.

You might be feeling like a sound financial plan leaves no room for fun or enjoying life’s pleasures. On the contrary, your plan should serve your individual needs and put you on the path to financial freedom. If you dream of driving a luxury vehicle or taking a cruise around the world, your plan should factor in the costs so you know you are creating a financial future that is real and lasting – not just a “mirage”.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) called compounding interest the 8th wonder. It can work for you, or against you. When you invest it works for you. When you borrow it works against you! There is a reason God told Noah to take a male and female of each species aboard the ark…to multiply. That is what compounding interest does for you and your financial ark. Creating a wisdom-based financial plan can help you put the 8th wonder to work for you.

19. 15 Commandments Of Creating A Wealth Pulling Niche by Roy Primm

Niches are like bathrooms; you never notice them until you need one.”

- Primm (From NicheBrain.com)

Fact: The person who finds or creates a special niche gets the cream of our societies financial rewards. Whether you’re Bill Gates or Joe Average.

The niche, and the person who creates them, is the main factor that separates one product from 12 others.

To out-niche your competitors you must focus on these “15 commandments” of niche creation at all times. Observe the ones you can apply to your business, product, or service - and watch your profits soar.

15 Principles of Creating A Niche (In alphabetical order)

1. The Principle of "Adaptation" - The easiest way to create a new idea is to do what others in another business or industry is doing. Next, see if you can adapt it to your own business, product, or service.

2. The Principle of "Addition" - Can you add something extra to your product or service that your competition doesn’t have or isn’t doing?

85

3. The Principle of "Combination" - “What positive elements can you combine from another product or service to make yours better?” A candy bar did it with simple peanut butter and chocolate, and made a successful new product. So can you!

4. The Principle of "Customization" - Can you find little ways to personalize a part of your product or service for your customers? People love the personal touch - that means so much. Can you make your product or service more personal and less cookie-cutter?

5. The Principle of "Easier" - Can you find more ways to make your product or service easier to buy, use, own, recommend to others, or attract repeat customers?

6. The Principle of "Elimination" - What negative or inconvenience can you eliminate for your customer with your product or service? Today people not only pay extra for more, they’ll pay extra for less. Less irritations, less waiting, less inconveniences, less risk, less pain, etc.

7. The Principle of "Enlargement" - Do people like your service or product? Then it’s a sure-fire bet there is a segment of your market that would like even more of it. Can you super-size something?

8. The Principle of "Entertainment" - From cradle to grave, we all have this inner urge to be entertained, amused, or fascinated - especially before we spend our money. A relaxed customer spends more. Find little ways to amuse your customers before, while, and after they buy your product or service.

9. The Principle of "Longevity" - It’s making some feature of your product or service last longer. It can also include making a positive experience or feeling last longer.

10. The Principle of "Portability" - People hate to be tied down. can people use your product or service in more than one place? Or Can you find a way to take your product or service to your customer instead of them having to come to you?

11. The Principle of "Reduction" - If you sell a product or service, is there any way to reduce a certain feature to make it more convenient? More portable? Easier to store or carry? Or easier to use? Can you reduce it and make it more affordable?

12. The Principle of "Reversal" - Look at what features or services your competition is offering or not offering and reverse them. If they close on weekends, can you be open? If they cater to seniors, target more young people. Or if they cater to high-end customers, target more low-end volume customers, etc.

13. The Principle of "Safety" - Show others how your product or service can add safety or reduce risk. People hate to experience loss, feel insecure, or waste money. Try to think of little ways you can help people avoid the above with your product or service.

14. The Principle of "Speed" - Today more than ever people hate to wait. You should always be thinking, “What could I do faster than my competitors-without-losing quality?” Can you fill your orders faster? Can you give faster service? Can your product get faster results? Can you Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

resolve customer issues faster? Can you ship your orders faster? Think speed!

15. The Principle of "Yucky" - A billionaire once said the secret to success is to be willing to do what most people don’t like to do. So find out what people don’t like to do, find irritating or disgusting, and charge them to do it. If you have a business, find out what your competition doesn’t like to do for their customers and you start doing it. You could literally steal customers from your competition overnight.

Try it.

By following the above suggestions, you’ll be able to create powerful money-making niches. And leave your competition in the dust.

20. 5 WAYS TO FEEL SUPER-OPTIMISTIC: Tips for Your Health, Wealth, & Career Success by Maryann Troiani

Optimism is the hidden key to your personal and business success. Optimists possess a clear vision of an exciting life, confidently work on goals to achieve their vision, and take self-responsibility. In contrast, pessimists have no clear vision of a fantastic life, and they love to complain, blame, and moan. How can you become more optimistic?

I will divulge five little-known “secrets” to help you immediately feel upbeat, confident, and optimistic.

Research: Why Optimism Is Good for You

Tons of research prove that optimists do vastly better than pessimists in their

1. Health 2. Wealth 3. Career success

Health.

A growing body of “psychoneuroimmunology” medical research links how a person’s emotions affect his or her health. Some intriguing findings: Optimistic people are less likely to get sick than pessimistic or depressed

people. This includes illnesses ranging from common colds to cancer. Optimistic people also get well faster than pessimists.

Wealth.

A fascinating study found that self-made millionaires worry much less than people who earn as much money but have not achieved millionaire status. What is the connection between being optimistic and making yourself into a millionaire? Optimists are much more likely than pessimists to make a goal of achieving millionaire status. They also keep plugging away at being frugal, investing wisely and working hard to turn financial dreams into reality. In contrast, pessimists are less likely to set net-worth goals or consistently take actions to become millionaires.

Career Success.

Many companies use our firm’s Abilities & Behavior Forecaster™ preemployment tests when choosing applicants. To start, a company has high-achievers take the test. Also, underachievers may take the test. Then, we identify how the high-achievers score, so the company can prefer hiring applicants who score like its profitable, productive employees. Intriguing finding: One of the Forecaster™ test’s 18 scales is Optimism. Typically, high-achievers typically score high on the Optimism test scale, while underachievers score moderate or low on Optimism. This repeated finding verifies that optimists achieve greater career success than pessimists.

So, how can you boost your optimism to achieve greater health, wealth, and career success? Here are five immediately useful techniques. Each takes only one minute to do, so you can start fast and get results today.

1st Technique: Straight Posture & Big Steps

Optimistic people use straight posture, walk fast, and take big steps. Pessimistic people slouch, walk slowly, and use small steps. Imagine seeing someone walking with his or her head held high, shoulders back, walking fairly fast with big steps. That person exudes confidence. In contrast, a person whose head and shoulders slouch and walks with slow, small steps reeks a gloomy mood.

Why is a straight posture crucial? Because before you can straighten out your head, you first need to straighten up your body!

2nd Technique: Cheerful Voice

A lightning quick way to feel upbeat is to use a cheerful voice. Think of a time when you felt annoyed. Then, your phone rang. You answered it, and your caller was someone you wanted to impress. I bet you spoke in a cheerful voice so you would impress your caller. Result: You immediately started feeling your mood lift.

Why is a cheerful voice an incredibly powerful optimism tool? Psychological research proved that a person emotionally feels the emotion he or she is acting at the moment. So, if you act cheerful, you feel cheerful. And a cheerful voice is the fastest way to act optimistic.

91

3rd Technique: Use Upbeat Words

You can use types of words: upsetting and upbeat. Pessimists relish using upsetting words, while optimists excel at using upbeat words. Examples:

Upsetting Words Problem Tired Depressed

Upbeat Words Opportunity Recharging Bumming

For example, a pessimist says, “I have a problem.” In contrast, an optimist would say, “I have an opportunity to do better next time!”

4th Technique: Use Upbeat Attitudes

I find the chief way to become an optimist simply is to focus on solutions – and not focus on problems. Every time a difficulty pops up, immediately create solutions and put them into action. Examples:

Upsetting Attitudes Focus on problems Dwelling on weaknesses Thinking about financial woes Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

92

Upbeat Attitudes Focus on solutions Dwelling on strengths Thinking about achieving prosperity

Why is a solution-focus ultra-important? Because you can only have one thought in your head at a time. So, if you focus on solutions, you cannot wallow in problems, complaining, blaming, or moaning.

5th Technique: Be a Magnificent Role Model

Remember a time you were a role model for someone. As you helped that person, you also helped yourself. As the proverb goes: “What goes around, comes around.” If you are a delightfully optimistic role model for employees, co-workers, family and friends, then you simultaneously make yourself optimistic.

How do you do this? Make sure people see you using straight posture, taking big steps, speaking in a cheerful voice, using upbeat words and focusing on solutions.

Anyone can become an optimist. When people use these five techniques, they invariably tell me they feel heavy burdens lift off their shoulders. They feel positive, upbeat, and confident. You only need a few minutes to put these tips into action. They can be your key to enhanced health, wealth, and career success.

22. Effective Blogging - How to Get Wealthy Blogging by Anton Linner

"THERE are two kinds of knowledge. One is general, the other is specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money."

Web Blogs are online diaries made up of short frequently updated posts. In addition, they are inexplicably popular.

Steve Pavlina's Blog, dedicated to helping you make conscious decisions in your personal development and courageously follow through on them is a good example of a very popular Blog. In February 2005, this site received about 86,000 visitors, in January 2006 about 715,000, and today Steve's Blog receives over 1 million page views each month and is ranked by Technorati as one of the Top 500 Blogs in the world.

It is listed in nearly every search engine because of spider food. New content is added almost every single day. We will discuss that later.

One key advantage of Blogs is that they are easy to update. The other side is that surfers will expect you to update your site very frequently. If you do not they will go somewhere else.

When you sign up for a Blog or create one on your own site use part of the name or a similar name to the name of the sponsor program you are promoting unless it is against the sponsors T.O.S. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

98

This blog, http://www.Marketing-Tipps.blogspot.com, showed up in the Search Engines in 3 days. It is not even in the top 10 for most search engine terms yet it consistently produces income, mostly AdSense.

But when you create your Blog or Blogs it is really important that you pick a niche that you know and understand. Ask yourself: Would and does my Blog appeal to me? Is there something about it that excites me?

If not, you need to go back to the drawing board.

When you create your Blog, let us say about "mp3 players", and its posts use the galleries and Urls from your sponsors. If they come with a description, use them. If you have a choice between short or long descriptions use the long ones. This is your spider food.

However, do not add them all to the Blog at one time. Add them 7 to 10 at a time. Set you up a schedule. Every second or third day add more. If your sponsor does not have a lot of galleries to use you're going to have to use several sponsors for each of your Blogs to keep them updated on a regular basis. After 10-15 days when the first posts are buried well out of site repeat them. You are after surfers coming from Search Engines and you are laying down spider food. It is a lot like fishing. You are putting out bait both for the surfer and for the spiders or bots from the Search Engines

Moreover, it is very important that you think about Spider Food. Use descriptions for each of your content with your Blogs name in them. If for

example you are promoting Asian content, use many related names in the entries you make on your Blog. This is very important.

Go to Google and type in for example "mp3 players"

Write down all the related key words you find on your notepad and as you make entries in your Blog weave these words into your entries. Over the next few weeks, when you do entries work these keywords into your posts. Repeat them. Yes, repeat them. Repeat them and often. When the search engine surfer comes to your Blog looking for an mp3 player he is not going to set there for the most part and read your posts. He is going to go for the links that lead to mp3 player. Therefore, what you really need to keep in your mind is getting him there.

The quality of Search Engine Traffic is high. Although at first you will not get a large quantity of traffic from Search Engines the traffic the quality of the traffic you do get is very high.

When you get your Blog up on the web, there are three places you need to submit it to. The two major search engines Google, Yahoo, and BLOGGERNITY.COM, which is a Blog Directory. Hand Submit your Blog to these three places. Once BLOGGERNITY listed your Blog, go there and vote for yourself. Sign up there for a free account and write a review of your Blog. It does not have to be anything fancy. Just write how you want the surfer to feel about and see your Blog.

Networking!

100

Make a list of the other Blogs at BLOGGERNITY and contact the owners of those sites (as many as you can). Write them a short email and ask them to do a link exchange with you. Most of them will.

It is very important that you use careful strategy and monitoring in promoting your blog. Use the referrers' script so that you will know what is going on. Keep a paper record of what you are doing.

By now if you have followed the examples I have given, you know how to set up your Blog and how to get traffic to it. If you follow it, you can make money.

Again Steve Pavlina: His Blog, http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/, is making $4,700/month with AdSense solely based on the following ten principles:

1. Create valuable content.

2. Create original content.

3. Create timeless content.

4. Write for human beings first, computers second.

5. Know why you want a high-traffic site.

6. Let your audience see the real you.

7. Write what is true for you, and learn to live with the consequences. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

101

8. Treat your visitors like real human beings.

9. Keep money in its proper place.

10. If you forget the first nine suggestions, just focus on genuinely helping people, and the rest will take care of itself.

This business model is fascinating. I obviously did not invent it, but I am certainly enjoying the ride. It is incredibly simple, much simpler than running any other business is. The risk is virtually zilch, and there is no overhead aside from web hosting (assuming you already own a computer and have internet access). There is no selling, no products, no customers, no order processing, no fraud, no inventory, no shipping, and no deadlines. And yet you earn income 24/7.

23. Tax Lien Investing - Secrets of The Wealthy by Gregory Nirshberg

Most people have not heard of tax lien investing. Yet there are millions of people across the country earning safe, secure, and most importantly, high percentage interest returns by investing in tax lien certificates. To put it simply, investing in tax liens is an easy, high profit way to invest in real estate, without needing large sums of money to do it.

So what are tax lien certificates?

Each year property taxes are due on all properties. The local government uses the money from property taxes to pay for various things in the community. If an owner doesn't pay their property taxes, the government still needs that money to be able to run their county effectively! So what's a government to do? They levy a tax lien against that property and auction it off at a tax lien sale. An investor, YOU, will purchase that tax lien with the understanding that you will earn a certain percentage interest rate. When the owner of the property finally pays off their taxes(plus penalty fees), the county then cuts a check to the investor for the principle amount invested, plus any interest or penalty fees accrued. The county makes out because they get the money they need to run things, the home owner or business makes out because they are given more time to pay off their taxes, and the investor makes out because they just earned a lot of money without really doing much at all!

Why should I invest in tax lien certificates?

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

103

Safety

Tax liens are sanctioned and run by the government. Your investment is protected by state law and secured by actual real estate! What other kind of investment option provides that kind of backing? Take a look at it from the other end. People do NOT want to lose their homes. So odds are they'll pay off their taxes, thus paying you off. And if they don't...you just may end up with a free property.

Minimal Competition

The great thing about tax lien investing is that, for the most part, it's a completly unknown investing option. Most people think that stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, money markets, and traditional real estate investing are the only ways to invest their money. So what you have is a very small number of people "in the know" making tons of money in an extremely low risk form of investing.

High Return on Investment

Your return on investment will vary largely depending on what state and county you are in. But to give you a rough idea, interest rates will vary from about 5% to 25%. Now, given how safe and easy this is, these kind of interest rates alone would be worth the investment. But there's more. In most cases you won't have to wait a whole year to earn your 15% interest. If the property owner pays off their taxes in one month, you'll still earn that same 15% interest, but you'll get it one months time. Freeing up your money to invest again. Lets say you take that money, and each month invest in a tax lien certificate and get paid off right away. That's Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

104

15% interest, 12 times, giving you a final return of 180% over the period of the whole year. Because interest rates are always calculated over the period of one year, this is what's called your effective return on investment. This is why investors love tax lien investing. In a state like Texas your effective return on investment can be up to 300%!

Examining the alternatives

Here are some alternative investing options that the majority of americans invest in. Included with them is an average interest rate and the degree of safety of the investment.

Savings account - 1% - safe

Money market - 1-2% - safe

CDs - 1-4% - safe(interest rate depends on length of CD

Stock market - average growth 11% - unsafe, percentages vary wildly from year to year

Tax lien certificates - 5%-300% - Safe. Government run. Enforced by state law. Fixed interest rates.

The ultimate win/win situation

So what happens if the owner doesn't pay off their taxes? Well in many states you would initiate a foreclosure on the property. The property gets auctioned off at a tax deed sale, and as the tax lien certificate holder, you Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

105

get paid off first. But in other states the property is signed over to you free and clear! That's right, your small investment geared to earn 15% just earned you a free house with which you can do as you please. Live in it, rent it out, sell it, whatever you want.

Conclusion

So why should you invest in tax lien certificates? Because it simply doesn't make sense not to. If you'd like to learn more about the ins and outs of tax lien certificates or specifically about tax lien auctions, more detailed information is available.

24. 12 Powerful Steps To Home Business Success by Daegan Smith

I am going to be my own boss. I will be the one to call the shots. I will work at my own pace and time. I will have free time in my hands. I will spend quality time with my loved ones. I will succeed. I will enjoy my life.

So, you have decided to venture into a home business --- where you work for yourself and greatly reap the fruits of your labor. However, there are some bad news and good news that you should be aware of.

BAD NEWS: Studies show that 80-90% of home businesses fail.

GOOD NEWS: Your business can be among the 10-20% that actually succeed!

How? By following the "12 Steps To Home Business Success." And you can do that with PEP!

*P - PREPARING/PLANNING EXTENSIVELY

When you do decide to venture into a home business, the very next thing to do is prepare for it. Prepare a business plan. This will be the very foundation of your business. You can do this by following these steps:

1) Start with the basics.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

107

What type of business would you like to get into? Would you be selling products, would you be offering services, or would you like to try both? In any case, you must decide on which particular product and/or service you would want to focus.

Have difficulty deciding? Here's a simple but sure-fire tip: Focus on what you know and enjoy.

If you have a talent in writing and editing, you can venture into an editorial services business. Are you into graphic arts? Can you design/layout brochures, business cards, newsletters, etc. using your computer? Then you can get into desktop publishing.

Do you know how Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, reached the pinnacle of success? He decided to venture into the one thing that he loved --- computers.

So, whatever type of business and whatever product or service you decide to start with, always make sure that you are familiar with it and that you have passion for it. The first will save you time, the second will keep you motivated.

When you are already decided about the type of venture you want, think of a name for your business. Make sure that it is unique, easy to remember, and professional. Of course, also make sure that it is significantly related to your business.

2) Gather your resources.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

108

You cannot put up a business without a capital. This includes the monetary or financial capital, material capital (supplies, gadgets, etc.), and manpower. Do you think you are prepared to invest all this into your business?

3) Draw out your goals and set your mind into them.

Set general goals and specific ones. Formulate short-term goals and long-term ones. What do you aspire to achieve in one month, three months, six months, one year?

Visualize your goals. Have a vivid image of each goal in your mind. How do you see yourself a year or two from now?

Have a list of your goals on hand. Read your list regularly. Did you know that by merely doing so, you actually increase your home business success rate by 100%?

*E - ESTABLISHING YOUR BUSINESS.

This stage refers to the actual nitty-gritty of setting up your home business. This time, you are done with conceptualization and you are ready to get into action. You are now implementing the plan that you have prepared. Here are several steps that will help you establish your home business and achieve home business success:

4) Work on the legal requirements of your home business.

Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

109

For your venture to be a legal business entity, you need to work on certain formalities. These include registering your business name, applying for a business permit/license, setting up a taxation system, and other paperwork. In this step, you also formulate a compensation plan for your employees.

5) Devise a marketing plan.

How do you create exposure for your products and/or services? Formulate a creative, innovative marketing plan. Consider the following factors/concerns:

>Your target market. Clearly define your target market. This will help you decide which advertising and promotion strategies would be more appropriate to draw in your prospective clients/customers.

>Your products/services. Of course, your advertising and promotion techniques will greatly depend on the type of products/services that you sell/offer. Make sure your strategies will "sell" your products/services. If you are offering graphic designing services and you give out poorlymade flyers, you will surely attract no clients at all.

>Your resources. You cannot aspire for grand and complicated advertisements if you are limited by financial constraints. You can, however, maximize whatever resources are available to you to effectively promote your product. Take advantage of the Internet. By using e-mail, blogging, forums, etc., you can spread the word about your business in a flash!

>Your uniqueness. "Same-old, same-old" will give you no gold. You can still utilize the most common advertising/promotion strategies, but give them a twist. Think of the most creative ways to catch --- and hold! --your customers' attention. Make offers they can't resist.

6) Formulate a Daily Method of Operation (DMO).

Make sure that your Daily Method of Operation is practicable, realistic, and goal-oriented. Set specific things to be done during specific hours. Set your priorities for each day. Make sure that such tasks can really be done and that they are done for the purpose of reaching your goals.

7) Manage your time effectively.

Although you practically have time in your own hands and you are your own boss, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax all you want. In fact, you must be more cautious about spending your time because your home business success depends on you --- the time and efforts that you commit to your venture.

26. Wealth Building: Step Away from the Status Quo by Kevin Christopher

One of the main things that will hold a person back from making money is their failure to change what they are currently doing. The status quo can be deadly to wealth building efforts. Wealth building takes courage and a new way thinking. Holding on to the “this is how we have always done it” way of thinking can be death to any wealth building strategy. If you want to increase income then think outside of the box. Do not do what your parents did - unless they are multi- millionaires. Even if they are, take their wealth building strategy and build on it, improve it, incorporate you own wealth building techniques into their plan to create a better way of making money. The world has consistently improved over the decades because someone had a bright idea of how to make a better mousetrap. It is the same with making money.

Millionaire parents are the minority, though, so this wealth building information is geared toward the guy who grew up middle class or even dirt poor but is interested in making money and improving his lifestyle. Though making money is a goal that is desired by many, quite often, viable wealth building techniques elude them. The main reasons that people fail to take aggressive steps towards their own wealth building are because of two things: 1. it takes work, and 2. it takes courage. You have to be willing to work for what you want and take risks to get there. Making money is no different.

The first wealth building strategy here is that you should be ready and willing to work. Now, understand that under “work” falls several sub categories including increase self discipline, avoid procrastination and be consistent. There is no easy ride when it comes to making money. Sure, there may be the occasional windfall here or there, but creating a wealth building strategy that you can count on and that consistently brings cash in takes hard work and focus. Self discipline will help tremendously in keeping you focused. Keep your eye on the prize and push yourself to work, to do what needs to be done regardless of how motivated you feel on any given day. This is also how you avoid procrastination. If something needs to be done, just suck it up and do it. If it is a large task that makes you feel overwhelmed, get organized. Organization is a wealth building strategy that will prove invaluable if you use it correctly. Finally, be consistent. Consistently keep your files organized and up to date, keep your records current, and be consistent with your discipline and focus.

As far as courage goes when it comes to wealth building, many people tend to be like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. They talk a good game, growl a lot, but the first time someone says “boo” to them they run and hide. And you know what? That is perfectly natural. It is normal to be afraid of the unknown, of venturing into areas unfamiliar. What is not normal is when those fears control and cripple us. Wealth building takes courage because it usually means stepping outside of your comfort zone. Many people lack the self esteem to do this. They are afraid of failure, they simply think that they are not good enough or smart enough. They are wrong. Most people have the wealth building abilities in them, but those abilities are untapped or their existence is not even known. Fear of failure can stop a great wealth building strategy dead in its tracks. Download more our free e-books and see other free stuff: http://freestuff.yourportal.biz

Someone once said, “Can’t never could.” They were so right. If you believe that you will fail then you are quite likely to do just that. Having a positive frame of mind, whether you believe in your ultimate success or not, is integral to increasing income. If you never take the plunge how will you ever know what is possible, what is out there? Believing in yourself is the first step.

Venturing into unchartered waters can be scary, but moving away from the status quo can be the wealth building strategy that catapults you to financial freedom. Some people grow up in environments that are not conducive to success and wealth building. To take that situation and turn it into something positive, to rise above the adversity to achieve wealth building success, those are the true heroes. Adopt a “can do” attitude; be willing to jump in with both feet and at least try new ideas and wealth building strategies. Just believe in yourself, do your homework and get ready to work.
