Your Journey Begins with a Single Step

For most of us taking that first step is the hardest thing to do. As I sat here twiddling my thumbs over what to write in this blog post I realize that by just writing something is better then writing nothing.

Earmuffs may help The Journey — Go ahead bark all day.

Now I,m on a roll or am I? The Journey has just come upon a road block. All I can hear is the dog next door that has been barking all morning. how am I supposed to concentrate with that external noise.

Come on, get over it, move on, take action.

That is it, did you miss it? The most important line of text you will ever read. I will break it down. Concentrate, ignore the noise, here it is again.

Come on.
Get over it.
Move on.
Take action.

When you decide to take the journey to creating wealth you will find yourself acting as a magnet to all external noise. This is the perfect time to bring out the big gun line I just mentioned. Lets go over the condensed broken down version.

Come On.

Noise, it is defining not deafening. The journey is about moving forward and defining who you are, who you want to be, how you want to live. So come on take a hold of your life, ignore the noise. We are in charge of our own destiny. Remember that this is a single step to the big picture.

Get Over It.

We all have them, road blocks that is. Take a look at the journey of the people who you consider to already hold the wealth, the success, the life you dream of having. All of these people, it does not matter who it is, have had the measure to take the next step and step over the road block. OK you have to lift your foot a bit higher but when you hit terra firma again you realize that the road block was not that high after all.

Move On.

This is the fun bit of the journey. Educate yourself. Fun, how can this be fun? It is fun because it is the path you have chosen, the path that interests you, the path to creating wealth. Stop for a minute and think about this. Who do you know that ever just walked into wealth, enjoyed it and held onto it without knowing a little about how to grow and control it?

Follow the leader, educate yourself. Choose to be informed as the benefits far outweigh the pain. Ask questions, enjoy the ride. Lift your other foot and place it down into the pool of knowledge that is available. Move on.

Take Action.

In the movies we hear “lights, camera, action”. What would happen if the the actor did not react. Nothing happened, money, time, skills would all be disappearing into the void of space. There would be no completed scene, no entertainment value, no wealth creation. The Journey would stop.

Complete this step and your life will change. Take action. You have the knowledge to start, you know the road block is not that high, you have shut out the noise.

Take the journey, it is a ride worth experiencing.

Four Steps to Creating Wealth — One Step at a Time

Have a Reason for Creating Wealth

It does not matter if you are ten years old with a lemonade stand or 45 with the responsibilities of an entrepreneur, creating wealth has been on our minds for a long time. We have been taunted by it, challenged by it, confused by it. But we have never given up on it. Wealth is in our blood, a passion we hold tight to our chest. Then one day the penny drops and we realize that by sharing the knowledge of creating wealth we can improve our own position tenfold.

Creating Wealth is a Journey — Not all wealth is measured by money.

So wealth is many things;

Wealth is a gift, a gift like no other.
Wealth is an investment in yourself .
Knowledge.
Feel the power that wealth conceals.
It may shape your destiny.
Enjoy the idea of wealth.
Learn, that what is in your hands is a direct result of what is in your head.
Pay it forward to your children, if nothing else you owe then the knowledge of creating wealth.

The Million Dollar Question

For some of us, letting go of this knowledge can be painful. Do we really want others to have what we have? Will the reciprocates of our knowledge use it for good or evil? Or the million dollar question: Will they use the knowledge at all?

Make a Decision Today

Creating wealth can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. Sometimes it can happen quickly, other times it may take a lifetime. To some wealth is not monetized, it is personnel. You, only you, can decide what your destiny will hold, how wealth will effect your life, your family, you. Everyday we make the personal decision of whether we will be rich , middle class or poor. Your future is decided upon by your choice. make the right choice for you and your wildest dreams may come true. Who are you today?

Knowledge is Power

A lot of us take things for granted. You know the thoughts you have when your down on your luck (poor) the world owes you a favor, you feel inadequate. Your afraid of losing, so what happens, you lose.

Then there is the majority of the worlds population (middle class) that think it is just to much work and place creating wealth in the too hard basket, so what happens, you lose slowly.

Now we have that small five percent minority (rich) that wake up every morning and choose to pay themselves first. I can hear your thoughts, how can I pay myself first when I have a pile of overdue bills. Am I missing something? Well, yes, wealth is not just about money or possessions, wealth is just as much about the journey.

Try this. As you wake up in the morning and place both feet on the ground ask yourself, what will I learn today that will make me a better person? Now all you do is take action. Simple, maybe to simple as that figure of 5% of society are rich has not change for decades. The problem is the belief you have in yourself.

Slow and easy wins the race. — Time is the winner of all races.

Try this; have a child read you the story of “The Tortoise and the Hare” . Ask them to explain the story to you. Consider the explanation and thank them for helping you understand what needs to be done. Now we can move on with our journey.

Small steps grow into leaps and bounds.
