I was feeling as though I cannot teach wealth because I am not wealthy. The truth is that I have never earned more than 100k in any financial year. As I think about the wealthy people in Australia and America and in the rest of the world my income by comparison is very tiny. To the Millionaire and Billionaire 100k is a small amount of money. Some celebrities spend that amount on an article of clothing, a charity dinner or a vacation.
I have therefore thought about the limited earning capacity that I have. I have pondered the beliefs that I have about my value or worth. I recall a seminar leader once stating, “You get paid exactly what you believe that you are worth”.
According to this way of thinking I am worth 100k. I do not believe that I am worth 200k or 300k or more. If I did then I would be earning more money. That to me sounds like a truth, and I know that as I change my belief about myself and my worth, my income will change accordingly.
Here I have shared with you my limitations around earning capacity, success and money. I therefore have wrestled with myself to teach the millionaire mindset, simply because I am not yet a millionaire.
This does not mean that I cannot teach the principles of wealth creation. I can teach about being frugal, about living within your means, about getting out and staying out of debt. These principles I live consistently and have done all my life.
I can teach how to be brilliant with a small amount of money and create investments and wealth.
I have always been a single income earner. I have 5 children. As a single income earner I and my family have made sacrifices and have been careful and wise in financial pursuits.
As a single income earner I have still managed to gain investments, and I have created a situation in which my money (my treasure chest) is growing. Furthermore I have given 10 percent of all my earnings to charity for the last 20 years. This money has among other things helped to bless the sick and the needy. And yet, after paying to charity and supporting a large family I have great assets and I am rich.
I live in a large home near a nature strip. I have a pool and so many other luxuries such as 2 cars. We take regular holidays and enjoy motels and camping and time together. I own both my cars outright. I never pay any interest on my credit cards.
I have the money to buy and feed my family healthy food, including fresh fruit and vegetables. I purchase my essential omega oils and wheatgrass, and other vitamins to supplement my health, and that of my family.
With all the financial pressures of life, I am rich. I do believe that it is not what you earn that makes a person wealthy or poor. It is what you do with those earnings.
Knowing what I know about money makes me perfect person to speak about wealth and wealth creation. The reason is that I have invested my money. The truth is I live my life by some very simple and easy to learn guiding principles. Living these principles can make one wealthy.
One of these principles is to pay 10% of earnings to charity. This guiding principle is the first thing that I teach in my wealth seminar. Give to charity. When you and I contribute to the lives of others in a meaningful way, we overcome selfishness and find the joy of giving and service. This guiding principle is one of the key factors in my own success, and is a principle also taught by financial leaders of our time.
Another principle is to live within your means, and stay out of consumer debt. Particularly credit card debt. Interest is to be paid on borrowed money, and that interest can be debilitating. Lenders rely on unpaid credit card interest to make big money. Meanwhile those caught in this trap pay thousands of dollars each year on interest. Money that could be saved and invested.
This is just two principles of wealth, yet there are many more that I teach in my wealth seminar. Remember wealth is not about how much you earn. Rather it is the psychology you have around money that will determine what you do with it. Will you control it, or will you let it control you?
I may not be able to turn you into an instant millionaire, however I will teach you principles that will set you on a course to take control of your mind, your money and become rich in your mindset. As you become an investor rather than a consumer, your assets will grow. As you developing a growth mentality, this will lead you and I toward a millionaire mindset. Possessing and using that millionaire mindset is worth millions, as you prepare for money to flow into your life with great avalanches of abundance.
Therefore I know that i can effectively teach the psychology of wealth, and how to move from a scarcity mindset, to and abundance mindset. How do I know? I work with the mind. I re-pattern limiting beliefs, help people overcome fear and laziness, and therefore wherever you are in relation to money and wealth, I have the answers.
I hope that my honesty resonates with you, and that you will desire to meet with me in one of my exciting wealth creation seminars. Let’s smash down the walls together to increase belief in earning capacity, and to use our money to grow our investments.
