HOW TO CREATE WEALTH

SOME INITIAL THOUGHTS ON CREATING WEALTH

(because everything starts with thought, the "seed of

an idea"):

By Craig Lock

(not that he's anywhere near there...as yet!

However, at least he has all the theory after many years

of research and study.and he has been applying the

principles for the past five years or so! *)

To "kick off" , here are a few myths about millionaires.

Myth no 1: Millionaires work 10 times as hard as the

ordinary man in the street.

Number 2: Millionaires are more intelligent and better

educated than you and I.

Number 3: Honest people don't get rich.

Number 4: You need money to make money. Most millionaires

have "begged and borrowed" to get started. Some have

even been bankrupt and fired.

Financial prosperity and or a fulfilling life well lived are goals we

can all achieve if we understand the principles of success.

The main attraction of money is FREEDOM to choose your

desired lifestyle. Earning a great deal of money should not be

for it's own sake. I really believe that most people are too busy

earning a living to stop and think about how they could get rich

and solve their moneyproblems...and that is the reason why

they haven't been able to do so.

Do you ever think through your particular situation?

Do you like what you do for a living? Millionaires love their

occupations. Work is leisure, your hobby. Most millionaires

continue working long after becoming millionaires.

Don't give yourself a choice, an exit. "Put your back to the

wall" and "burn the bridges behind you". I had no other

options here in "Sleepy Hollow" and the internet is my "tool"

to reach out to the world and achieve my personal goals.

ACQUIRE THE MENTALITY OF A MILLIONAIRE: Most

people don't believe there are secrets to wealth - they

believe rich people are just "lucky". Most people don't

believe they can ever become rich. BELIEVE that you

can and crave it passionately. Use your IMAGINATION.

Think and act successfully.

BELIEF is the key.

Have FAITH.

FOCUS ON A GOAL. Write down the amount of money you

want and how much time you'll allow yourself to acquire it. In

order to achieve monetary wealth, you need an amount and

a deadline to aim at. This is the magic of a quantified objective

working on the sub-conscious mind. Because...if you don't

know where you're heading, chances are you'll never get

anywhere. What do we ask from life?: 99 out of 100 people

don't think about it.

So write it down.

DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

Develop the right ATTITUDE and LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES

everywhere.

They are right there within reach.

Then BELIEVE, TRULY BELIEVE, YOU CAN REACH YOUR

TARGET.

Stretch yourself. "The greatest limitations are those man imposes

upon himself". Therefore, the greatest obstacle to success is a

mental obstacle. Do things differently and ignore the objections

of "rational" people (What hope for me then to be "normal" with my "funny job?").

Set yourself an objective initially that is reasonable, yet bold (within

reach, but ambitious... so you are forced to extend yourself to reach

it). Most people are overly conservative and too scared to dream.

Expand your mental boundaries - don't be a creature of habit with

your mental limitations.

Tap your inner resources: "Character is destiny". I've certainly had

to do that here in "Sleepy Hollow" through relying upon the powers

of the human imagination, after being dropped out of the sky her

ten years ago!

DESIRE best sustains your thoughts. The more passionate your

desire, the quicker it will happen.

Benefit from the knowledge ("the pearls of wisdom") found in

books, like this one (plug plug).

Read books and keep repeating positive words. Repetition

of affirmations really works by imprinting positive thoughts in

the mind. NEVER GIVE UP.

Mastering our own destiny and fulfilling our potential as

"human beans"

, our dreams is our ultimate purpose in life. In so doing, I

also believe we can (no WILL) glorify God, the Great Creator.

Find your passion and extend your goals. Love what you do.

Find work that satisfies you and you will have found your

passion.

I love researching and studying the human mind, then applying

the principles to see whether they DO work. MASTER THE

UNCONSCIOUS (SUBCONSCIOUS) MIND: Accept it as the

truth and you will. If you have faith that you will accomplish

something, you will. The more you internalise it (a fancy term

used by those rather weird 'psycho types') which simply means

making it real within you), the more powerful it

becomes. "You can do very little with faith, but you can do

nothing without it."

- Samuel Butler

Your unconscious mind is extremely susceptible to the power

of words and it can be easily influenced. Words like "can't"

engrave themselves in the unconscious; so that negative

thoughts and feelings become your self-image. To become

rich you have to create a new self-image. Self-image depends l

argely on your expectation about who you're going to

be.

So work on your SELF-IMAGE. Believe in your uniqueness

and ability to make your own special contribution to the world

no matter how small, or how dull, or unintelligent you think

you may be. Everybody has some unique talent and there

is no other like you in this world. There is a seed of greatness

in each one of us - a precious resource to achieve

something unique in our lives.

SO PLANT THAT FIRST SEED ON YOUR PERSONAL

PATH TO GREATNESS TODAY.

Good Luck
