Creating Wealth – What’s Your Perception?
 |
|
Are you one of those people who think that Creating Wealth is for people who only care about the riches this world has to offer, and thus feel that any attempt to generate income on a massive scale would corrupt whatever morals, principles or standards you live by?
Already content with what you have because you’ve accumulated a certain level of income, allowing you to Create Wealth to the degree that now makes you feel that you no longer need to worry? What’s your preference Slum Dog or Millionaire?
You don’t have to play “Who wants to be a Millionaire?”, The lottery, go on X-Factor, American Idol, Britain’s got talent, America’s got talent, The Apprentice, Dragons Den, or any other Reality Competition/Program in hopes that you can make your dreams come true. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do any of those things; it’s just not the only option. |
Either way, this article can assist you by giving many different perspectives, enabling you to create wealth. This is not just another one of those how to documents, but rather a guide to introduce the thought, so the reader can have an idea of what it is they must do; thus you should not use this as a manual in which to accomplish it. Having said that, it’s customary to write in a way that most people understand or have become accustomed to, as this is what works in the market place.
There’s loads of information available on creating wealth, each with their own advice on how you can achieve it. For example, you often hear about Multiple Streams of Income, a term popularized by Robert G Allen who put out a book entitled just that, also The Rules of Wealth by Richard Templar, How to make one Hell of a Profit and Still get to Heaven by Dr John F Demartini, The Laws of Money by Suze Orman, The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J Stanley, The Ebony Treasure Map (From the Trash Man to the Cash Man) by Myron Golden and The Secrets to Creating Wealth by Stephen Pierce. These are just some of the books that address this topic, meanwhile there’s a whole host of other reading, visual and listening material out there waiting to be digested.
What I would like to introduce you to however, is the revolutionary, new age, out of the box, Fourth Dimensional
thinking that is necessary in this era or at least during the down turn of the economy to survive.
So what exactly is Creating Wealth or Wealth Creation
Let’s first look at the word create, it comes from the from L. creatus, pp. of creare "to make, produce," related to crescere "arise, grow”. As we can see it’s something that comes into existence for the first time, but this definition won’t do because the implication is that it comes just like that, in an instant. Also there is a difference between create and make, to create something is to bring it in to existence from non existence, meaning it still exists but hasn’t manifested physically, like thoughts that exist in the mind. You just haven’t able to materialize or turn your inner visions into outer realities; therefore for they don’t exist in the world as you know it. Make on the other hand is to utilize that which has already been created or materialized to produce something. If wealth were created like a magician who snaps his fingers and poof, then the mass majority would be wealthy, and you and I both know that isn’t true.
We find the true meaning in Wealth Creation, the key word being creation. The suffix ion when applied to the end of a verb turns the word into a noun, which is a person, place or thing. So the Word “Create” with the Suffix – “Ion” added on turns the act – “Create” into a state or condition of create; and a condition is defined as “An agreement”, “To Agree upon”, “Or to talk over”.
This would also mean that it is something that takes some time to happen; by adding – Ion to the verb, you are saying that the action happens over a period of time rather than instantly. This can be seen in the case of the word decide which means to settle; by adding “– Ion” onto “Decide”; the word becomes decision – which is a process, whether a thought process, that happens over time.
An example would be a seed planted, which eventually becomes grass, then ultimately grows into a plant or tree. Natural resources have been created and they grow over time, it’s the same with Creating Wealth; it’s measured in time, not money.
Let’s say you take home £1000 per month, and your living expenses is £250 per week, that leaves you with nothing left over right? The Sum of £1000 makes you know that you can only survive for 4 weeks, so if for some reason, you stopped getting that amount, and you don’t have anything saved, then chances are you won’t survive.
So Wealth is measured in time, therefore it’s advisable to adopt Wealth Creation principles that allows your money to work for you instead of you working for it, and in that you can be self-assured of having Created Eternal Wealth.
The word Wealth itself has been given many definitions and one the best ones I found “Wealth is Cash flow from other sources”.
It’s not only about Money
I’m not just talking about money, although a large portion of this article deals with the money aspect, as this is what most people are attracted to or want to attract in their life, and attraction is a key ingredient in the wealth creation process.
Ok so, you only want to create wealth for financial gain, there’s nothing wrong with this, but a true aspirant not only seeks funds or material wealth so they can live out all of their desires, they have a purpose.
“Don’t desire it want it, if you want it, you go after it, if you desire
it you look for someone to bring it to you”
You must learn both Business and Life skills the basic assets needed for you to become wealthy, because at its core there is that all important massive why you often hear about. You have to have a why as a reason for doing the things you do or are doing, otherwise once you achieved your goals there will be nothing left to do. An analogy to this would be those that are labeled Mr/Mrs Know it all, what an absolutely ridiculous statement
(Why?) because if he/she knew it all, there would be nothing left for them to do because they would already
know it.
Let’s say you create the wealth you desired, now you are living the life you wanted, but all of a sudden, the money starts to deplete, you have lost your earning power, and eventually you are back to square one. Now WHY would be the question you would ask yourself when re-evaluating the reason for you being back in the same position right? The fact you will often use the word in most cases for having a reason or cause to do
something, shows that having a WHY is paramount; and why stands for: What has You?
It’s been said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and to a certain extent that’s right as I believe the statement when it was made was referring to the person’s experiences or what they have learnt in life. The key word here is learnt, and if you have some new information on something they’ve a wealth of knowledge of, most of the time they will not listen to you for a number of reasons, most notably the ego which some have defined as
Edging Greatness Out, Edging God Out, which is suppressing the god within or Energy (Inner Chi) on the Go.
Whose energy?
Yours because it’s about me and no one else, and Ego is one of our greatest enemies; the enemy inner me or inside me; and as long as it’s about me, and not we, then it will be hard to be successful alongside creating and maintaining wealth.
Here’s another one for you, “don’t take advice from someone who is not already in the position you want to be”. This is actually true in part as a general statement, and sufficient to create a strong argument, but still I found it left out specific questions like “How did they get into that position in the first place?” Was it by default, luck, inherited, are the people there maintaining what they’ve accumulated, or is it simply depleting?
If anyone ever says to you “what you don’t know can’t hurt you”, think again because in actuality, what you don’t know can hurt you; so swallow your pride and accept that we can all learn from each other.
To Apply or not to Apply is the Question
Let u me tell you a little story, there were two people that were given a manual on how to create wealth, they both read it and committed it to memory. One of them started to apply all therein, became wealthy and thought there was no more to learn he was a failure. The other one never thought he could become wealthy; he didn’t and thus was also a failure.
Never think of yourself so low that it’s not possible to Create Wealth or be Successful, and never think of that you’re too high that there is nothing left to learn or achieve. Go to either extreme and you’re setting yourself up for failure; you must always try to maintain that balance.
