No matter how much you want to be worth and have the only wealth building strategy you will ever need to know is that you need to just do one thing and do it very well. If you were to put 100 millionaires into the same room I could bet you that 95 of them got to where they are because they did one thing and did it very well.

I can assure you that once you find what you love and are good at you will be well on your way to becoming very wealthy in a rather short amount of time.

We are what we thinkAll that we are arisesWith our thoughtsWith our thoughts We make our worlds. – Budha.

The first law of success is first within then without. Therefore every creation of man including wealth begins in form of thought process. Wealth building begins with our thoughts. A man creates nothing which he does not first conceive in his thought. Whatsoever we think about in our minds regarding wealth building becomes our reality. Whatever it is that dominates our thought daily often becomes our lot. If we fill our minds with thoughts of poverty, it will become our reality. If it is the thought of wealth that we allow to dominate our minds it will eventually become our reality. Whatever thought you allow to dominate your mind eventually materialize in your life. Your thoughts are therefore the most powerful influence in your life. You should therefore follow me on a journey that will make this clearer to you.

Napoleon Hill in his classic Think and Grow Rich, said “Thoughts are things.” To him, whatever you desire if you allow that the thought to dominate your mind, you will acquire. If you therefore desire wealth and allow the thought of wealth to dominate your mind, you shall acquire wealth. So is success. Anything you desire, just allow the thought of that thing to dominate your mind and take action about it, you shall acquire it. When you dominate your mind with thoughts about wealth, you become wealth conscious and aware about wealth. Fortune gravitate to those whose minds have been prepared for it. Conservatively, poverty is attracted to those whose minds have been prepared for it.

Harv Eker in his book, “The Secret Psychology of Wealth” talked about having the internal capacity to to create, hold and manage money. By internal capacity is meant our thought process. Without the requisite internal capacity you cannot create wealth. He therefore went on to talk about the “Process of Manifestation” which is very critical in the creation of wealth. This process is referred to as T – Thoughts which leads to…F – Feelings (desire) which leads to…A – Actions which leads to…R – Results (wealth or poverty).

There is something called the tree of wealth. On this tree are fruits (results). The fruits that we see on the tree are brought by the seed or the root. The seeds and the root are our thoughts while the fruits or result is wealth or poverty. Therefore if we dominate our minds with the thoughts of wealth, it will lead to the feelings or desire for wealth. It is this desire or feelings for wealth that will propel us to take action to create wealth or in wealth acquisition. On the other hand if the thought is dominated by poverty, it will us to action which leads to failure and consequently product.

We are therefore going to end this piece with the words of Ayn Rand who said “Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think.” To build wealth therefore you require to change your thought process to that of wealth consciousness, if not you cannot create wealth.

Note!!!

If you really want to accumulate wealth, you have to change your thinking about wealth. If you do not, you will not accumulate wealth. Unless your thought is dominated by wealth you will not know how to accumulate it.

Are you tired of working long hours, and sacrificing to have nothing to show for it?  If you do not have a plan for your money, someone else will.  Wealth building is not a fast process.  In order to have and keep wealth you must understand the process of building wealth.  Wealth is the value of assets, either physical or intellectual, that can be passed on through your generations.  I was at the barbershop, Fair Deal’s, on E Berry in the late 80′s.  One of the barbers said to a customer, “you have been working for 25 years, and you have nothing to show for it, but a broken up old body.”  The customer laughed as he walked out the door.  I knew him through the neighborhood, and knew over the last 25 years he had bought 10 homes and numerous vacant lots all over the city.  No one knew he had accumulated wealth until after he died.  The biggest tragedy was he never taught his four children the process of wealth building.  The children sold it all upon his death.   Sound familiar?  This is why wealth is intellectual as well as physical.  We all know or have heard of stories such as this.   This is why I am creating THE BLUE PRINT to Wealth Building.  Not just African American families, but other Americans as well, have a history of wealth building through business and land ownership, and intellectual capital.  It is time for it to become a way of life again, through sharing ideas and sharing resources and taking action on our dreams.  Living it every day out loud.

BLUE PRINT of Wealth Building: Phase 1

HAVE A PASSION THAT IS WORTH YOUR BEST EFFORTS Have no fear when it comes to realizing your dreams.  Whatever you dream is, it can become reality faster than you think.  Once you come to grips with the fact that it is your dream, and not anyone else’s (i.e.: your dream killers) it will come faster. 1) Decide to do it, 2) Plan how to get there, 3) Take Action on your plan, 4) Stay Focused.   You may say I make it sound too easy.  It is not!  You have to believe in you, and give it your best efforts every day.  LIVE IT through YOUR everyday life; not by watching others live your dreams.

IDENTIFY WHAT HANDS ARE CATCHING YOUR MONEY BEFORE IT HITS YOUR POCKETS In order for you to build physical wealth you have to know who or what is taking it away.   Some of the hands we can’t avoid such as cost of food, the mortgage, taxes, and health care costs. You have at least three hands reaching at your money.   Identify the hands and prioritize them according to your dream.

Hand 1- Wealth Building – The money that goes into investing in your dream.  Investing in your saving accounts, retirement plan, real estate, higher education, or small business. Hand 2- Responsibilities – Anything that can go on your credit report if not paid.  Children do not go on your credit, but they are a privilege and a responsibility.  Mortgages, rent, car payments, cell phone bills, child support are responsibilities you must pay. Hand 3- Wants – Are the icing on the cake.  The vacations, the cars, and clothes are great.  Life is short, so live it and enjoy it.  But do not make your wants your number priority.  There is nothing like a well-dressed, but broke person.

INVEST INTO WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND WHAT YOU CAN COMMITT TO Do your research on any investment you put your money in to. Investments are more than stocks and mutual funds.  Going back to school is an investment.  The background research you do will make you more confident of your choices.  Believe me any person making an investment presentation will be ready for you and your questions. The best investments are the ones you understand.  Consider these tips as rules of thumb before investing your money. Know how the investment makes money Know how you make money Know your exit strategy (cost, time restraints) Know how much it will cost you Know the history of performance, lawsuits, etc. Know your decision to commit to this for the full time frame required to see growth

In the following weeks I will continue adding to the BLUE PRINT of Wealth Building.  This approach may or may not work for you.  Explore your options and start the dialogue of wealth building.  You may be amazed of what will happen once you make it a priority.

Market Blurb

One of the most common questions I hear is: “what do you think about the market?”  ”Or what is a good investment now?”  Here is your answer:

Like a perfectionist that is never satisfied, when presented with some of the best fundamental data in years, the market chooses to find faults and be picky.  Not that there aren’t a number of things to be critical of, including the situation in Greece, lack of job growth, high budget deficits, and slowing loan growth in China. These are all reminders that risks to the economy and earnings still exist. Expect volatility, much like what has been experienced already this year.  Volatility will continue as the economy and markets transition from a stimulus-driven recovery to an environment of self-sustaining growth.

Also, there are two very different ways of considering risk: opportunity or danger.  Some would argue the latter is far more likely than the former at these levels in the market and at this stage of the market recovery.   With a little patience, the commitment to a well thought out investment plan and a willingness to follow Warren Buffet’s sage advice “be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy,” could result in turning the tone of this market pullback from danger to opportunity.

Wealthy people think differently. While the way they attract wealth varies, many wealth attraction experts utilize 3 powerful techniques—affirmations, visualizations, and meditation—to help create abundance. But what are these techniques? They’re not typically taught in business school, and they’re definitely not the kind of thing you learned in kindergarten. Here’s your guide to these easy attraction wealth strategies:

What’s a Wealth Affirmation?

This wealth attraction technique is an excellent first step in creating any wealth-building plan. An affirmation is a statement of some truth about yourself. Wealth affirmations might include statements like, “I attract money like a magnet attracts nails” or “I will earn enough money to pay off my mortgage early.” Most attraction wealth experts recommend writing down or reciting affirmations regularly. If you write them down, post them in a spot where you’ll see them often, such on your desk or next to the telephone.

What are Wealth Visualizations?

Visualizations are much like daydreams, except the wealth visualization has a purpose: to attract wealth. When you have a few moments to yourself—sitting in traffic or waiting for the children to get home from school—imagine yourself doing something fabulously wealthy. You might picture yourself relaxing at an exclusive beach spa or paying off your mom’s house. Whatever it is, imagine your wealth visualization often. This technique puts your mind into the perfect place, ready to attract wealth and abundance.

What is a Wealth Meditation?

This is the powerhouse of techniques for attracting wealth. For eons, spiritual leaders have used and taught meditation as a way to fundamentally change the way practitioners think. That same power can be used for wealth attraction. To practice wealth meditations, simply find an out-of-the-way spot. During that time, you’ll focus your thoughts, emotions, and energy on one idea: attracting wealth into your life.

You might, for example, choose a wealth visualization that includes opening an envelope containing the biggest check you can imagine. A wealth meditation might also include reciting an affirmation over and over again. This allows you to focus the mind on that single powerful thought, making the subconscious more receptive to making the thought a reality.

Who Successfully Uses These Techniques?

Thousands of people have used affirmations, visualization and meditation to attract wealth and abundance. One way to find others interested in attracting wealth is to locate online communities that support wealth attraction techniques. In addition, you might look for local networking or entrepreneurial groups. Remember, too, to use books, seminars, and online resources to learn about incorporating effective attracting wealth techniques into your life.

These techniques might sound hokey, but that’s okay. What matters is if you can put them to work for you. Wealth affirmations, visualizations and meditations are free, so what would you lose by trying them?

The poverty in our World is a reality. Heaven is so far as we can’t terminate poverty. So how can we do and live in Heaven on Earth?

The answer is so simple: The Solidarity. The problem is we use solidarity at a wrong way, that’s why we fail in our goal to fight poverty. So let’s talk about the right way to use the Solidarity to live in Heaven on Earth.

In all countries we have social funds which help retired people to live with a minimum of money. Creating such funds comes from the solidarity idea, but the idea is not well understood or not well used. The social funds extract a limited amount of money from the future retired salary and give it to him when he retired as a limited salary. This is the wrong way using the solidarity.

The right way is extracting very limited amount of money from each employee income and invest it for the benefit of all the retired people of the country. Let me explain: imagine that we extract 0.1% from every income each day then we invest that money for the profit of retired people. Let’s talk with numbers: imagine all incomes in the USA are the same: $1000. The 0.1% of each income is $1. That means if we have only 70,000,000 employees in the USA with that income, we will collect $70,000,000 each day. This is $2,100,000,000 every month. If USA invests that money properly it will terminate poverty and let people live in Heaven on Earth.
