Power Affirmation

"I am creating the causes of wealth everyday." Let's break this down into the different sections... "I am creating..." In other words, I can exercise a certain amount of control over the causes of creating my desired results by consciously influencing my thoughts and my actions. "...the causes of wealth..." Success is not an accident. Wealth is not an accident. It is the result of definite causes. The causes of wealth in our lives may be the result of circumstances outside of our control (like winning the lottery, or inheriting a sizeable amount of money). But those opportunities are generally few and far between. A far better strategy is to take control of your own destiny by taking positive action. By consciously studying and implementing the causes of wealth. What are some of the causes of wealth? Here are just a few: Adding real value to the lives of others through personal services and products. Another word for wealth is value. The more measurable value you add to the lives of other, the more wealth you attract to yourself. Pursuing a worthwhile clear Definite Major Purpose. One of the major causes of wealth is to have a clear, written statement of what you attend to achieve, and then to focus all of your thoughts and energy to the achievement of that purpose. Creative visualization. Napoleon Hill referred to the imagination or creative vision as the "workshop of the mind." You should spend time everyday visualizing the completion of your Definite Major Purpose and the accumulation of specific amounts of wealth. Power Affirmations can significantly help you in your creative thinking time. A car purchased for your personal use is not an asset by his definition. A used car purchased to sell at a profit would be an asset. People who accumulate wealth buy assets (based on the cash flow definition) and minimize liabilities (such as luxuries purchased on the installment plan). Saving money. This is the other side of accumulating cash producing assets. If you consistently live below your means and then use the money to purchase or create cash producing assets, you will be surprised at how quickly your true assets can accumulate. Because of taxes, $100 saved is actually more valuable than $100 earned. Why? Because out of the $100 that you earn, you probably only get to keep about $70. But if you save $100, you get full value of that $100. Increasing your knowledge. If you want to earn more, learn more. I suggest that you concentrate on at least two areas: specialized knowledge related to your chosen profession and general knowledge of business (at the MBA level). If you choose a profession or a business that is in demand and you become a recognized expert in that area, you are adding greater value to others. And as I mentioned before, as you add greater value to others, there is a much greater likelihood that your personal wealth will increase. I believe that everyone will have a greater chance of success if they manage their life and services to others like a real business. This means that a certain amount of knowledge of business is extremely helpful no matter what services you offer to others. We all have to buy and sell products and services in order to function in today's world. That means you are in business whether you like it or not. You may as well learn as much as you can to operate your personal business efficiently. Why do I say at the "MBA level?" It's because living in our modern society global can be very complicated. This means that you need a hire level of knowledge to win at the game. While I love books like "Think and Grow Rich," "The Science of Getting Rich," and "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," etc., they are more motivational than educational. You are going to need more academic sources of knowledge in addition to thrive. In other words, combine both popular motivational material with academic material and you are likely to obtain outstanding results. Power Affirmations can help here as well. They are a great motivational and study tool. For example, when ever I read an academic book, I create Power Affirmations for myself based on the material to use the power of repetition to really learn, think about, and apply the material to my specific situation. "...everyday." If you want to succeed at accumulating wealth or anything else, you need to focus on it everyday. Even better is to focus on it multiple times per day. This is another area where recorded Power Affirmations are helpful. The recordings help to condition your mind so that you develop habits that naturally focus your thoughts on your desired results multiple times per day. Here is this Power Affirmation again: "I am creating the causes of wealth everyday."
