Building Wealth - Are You In Control?
April 11th, 2008Did you go to work this morning because you wanted to, or because you had to?
If you said “had to”, you’re not in control of your wealth. Your money is in control of you.
Wealth begins in your mind.
It’s funny, over 95% of the population here in the US is being controlled by money.
Most people are in debt up to their eyeballs. There are few who actually have any wealth.
Albert Einstein once said, “a problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness in which it occurs.”
By operating with tunnel vision, and not being aware of the opportunities and solutions available, you’re stuck with the same problems.
Champions and high achievers got that way by studying those who have created wealth.
Middle class people believe formal education is the answer to creating wealth, despite the fact that very few academics are wealthy.
They get confused when this education doesn’t bring them financial success.
High achievers value academic education, they just don’t think it has a lot to do with becoming rich.
Rich people trade ideas and products that solve problems for money. The middle class and poor trade their time for dollars.
It’s all about your mindset.
150 years ago or so, Karl Marx was positive that the working class, as a whole, would rise up and overcome oppression if
only they had an opportunity.
But what he didn’t think about what the poverty and scarcity driven mindset of most people. Even if you give a middle class or poor person a million dollar opportunity, they will find a way to keep it from happening.
They have a different perception of what is going on around them. Their self image tells them they belong where they are.
They don’t understand “reality” from a world class performers point of view.
As a result, they self sabatoge.
Are you self sabatoging?
It could be a fear of success that’s holding you back.
