Money- Wealth Creation Guide

by Phillip Seanego

  Another belief you must change is that you have to be employed to receive money. Again, you are looking in the wrong place for money. What you do when you are employed is a supporting service. You are helping your employer create his value; you left your gold to help other people dig up theirs. This will never bring you true wealth; you will always be vulnerable and dependent on your employer if you plan to be employed for the long run. You will not achieve the true freedom that comes with wealth when you are working for somebody, so change that belief and start creating your own value. Use employment as a step to self-employment, but don’t dwell there if you want notable success.

  The last belief I want to discuss is that money is evil, in other words, that wealth is evil. It is explained in this book that money is in your mind, and since your mind can be evil or good, it is the person who can be evil or good. Money can be used in an evil way or good way depending on the person who has it. Evil people use money to start wars while good people use their money to advance the human race. Money is not evil, the more good people possess wealth the better the world we live in becomes.

  Does money run the world or thoughts?

  Thoughts run the world. Everything ever created started as a thought. Money itself is a thought; its value exists in the human mind as a thought. The value of money is determined by what people think, and what they decide its value is based on what it can buy.

  Is it ask or work you shall receive?

  People who depend on other people live by the phrase, ‘ask and you shall receive’. Most of these people don’t get to see their dreams come true because they do nothing but just ask for everything. Asking for everything is very attractive to a lot of us because it is easier than work, given our tendencies to be lazy. If someone tells us they want something, just asking for it takes the headache out of having to work for any achievements.

  I must state this right here. There is nothing that will replace work when it comes to success and living your dreams. You must not just work hard, you must also work smart to be able to toil today for a comfortable tomorrow, and it won’t feel like toil if you are doing what you like. You must know this and make a habit of working and creating value to be able to make an honest living and achieve your dreams.

  There is nothing good you receive from just asking. This is one of the mistakes people take from holy books. It is for the lazy who want things to just happen in their lives, without making any effort. Nothing happens without you taking actions, and nothing will ever come into being without you taking the first steps to success, by taking actions. So, it is not ‘ask and you shall receive’, it is ‘work and you shall receive’. This is what you must make a habit of. Don’t believe in receiving something for nothing, believe in working – this is how you get to choose your destiny while people who ask have to accept whatever is given.

  How beliefs affect our wealth

  This book is made to help you remove all wrong beliefs about money. By helping you understand exactly what money is, it opens your mind to a new attitude, new knowledge and new belief about money. So, I hope as you read it, you do check your own beliefs about money, wealth and success, and remove those beliefs that stop you from living your dreams, and from being what you were meant to be. It requires you to look within yourself, and check what you are doing wrong that causes you to not achieve your dreams.

  Another important lesson I was taught is not to get accustomed to moving in circles. You might not be aware of it when you do it. Just like procrastinating, when you are doing it you are not normally aware that you are. The only thing you can do to make sure you don’t keep moving in circles, and working hard without seeing the results, is to keep check of your actions, learn from your mistakes and apply new strategies to your approach to wealth.

  Many people are moving in circles; they are taking the same actions over and over again while they expect different results. This is what moving in circles is. You must do some self-introspection. Be aware of your actions – are you doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results? Be conscious of your actions, this is the only way you can learn from your failures and improve your strategy, to stand a chance to succeed the second time around.

  You must aim for different results. This will happen when you take different actions, and when you don’t stick to the same strategy if the results are not what you want. This is how you find fortune. It needs to be found. It is the same process as searching for something; you don’t search for wealth in the same place when you searched before and found nothing. You must seek a different place to search for wealth; this is important. Never take the same actions that lead you nowhere over and over again. Be aware of your actions and study your failures carefully; this is how you learn from them and succeed next time around.

  Choose your beliefs wisely

  In life you decide what to believe, so make it work for you. The power is in our choices, your free will; you choose what to believe and what not to believe. Now, look at what you believe about yourself, and who you believe you are. Do you believe you are capable of success and living your dreams, and that you deserve more out of life?

  Your beliefs have so much power over your actions. They control if you will take actions or not, and since they can be chosen, if they are not supporting your ideal life, change your belief to bring you more of what you want. Believe you can. You must believe you can be self-employed and successful. Belief is all it takes.

  You are in control, choose to believe this

  I refuse to think that things are out of my control. Everything about me is under my control. Especially my actions, which are exactly what determine my circumstances and my future. I am in control of that. This is what I choose to believe, what do you choose to believe?

  5.PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY

  Make up your mind

  Do you really want to be rich? Are your actions in line with your desires? You must be aware of what you are doing every day. Don’t let habits take over your life; they will make you do things that are in contrast with what you really want out of life. Be aware of your actions every day. Are they supporting your dreams or working against you? You find people having dreams about this and that in their lives, but when you study their lifestyle and conduct, you can easily see that they are the ones who stop themselves from succeeding; they say this and go and do the opposite.

  You must be sure that wealth is what you want. Let’s see it in your actions – walk the talk, this is how you become successful, by keeping a commitment to your dreams. You can’t do this today and change to something else tomorrow without finishing the first task you started. You must know that success adds up; today’s success will add up with tomorrow and the successes of other days to make you a successful person. Have discipline for your dreams, know what you want and let it show in your actions.

  Poor state of mind or wealth state of mind

  Your state of mind determines everything about your life; it decides how you respond to every circumstance that comes your way. Your quality of life is determined by the way you think and mostly the perspective you think from. If you have less knowledge about things, your perspective is already small; you already have a poor perspective and that results in a poor state of mind which becomes your reality.

  This is why I encourage people to seek knowledge. Always seek to learn and never stop learning. When you have a poor state of mind you think less of yourself; you don’t have dreams about your life, and you wish things were different or become different by some magic. There is a difference between dreaming and wishing. When you wish for something, you are already saying that this is not meant for you, and that it is not what you can do or what you are capable of bringing into your life. It is not what you expect, and you believe that you cannot achieve it. If you wish you had a car, you do nothing about it, but if you dream of having a car, you work towards it.

  People who wish do nothing. They just hope their wishes come true while on the other hand, when
you dream, you are looking forward to the future, to what you want to see happening in your life as time goes on, and then you start working towards it. You can’t wish about the future, you dream about it and start making plans and goals for it. In a poor state of mind, you can only wish for things. You believe there is nothing you can do to influence your future. You are helpless and because of your belief you do nothing. It is a universal rule that if you do nothing, you achieve nothing.

  It starts with yourself; poverty is a physiological problem, it is all in your mind. Some things about your life don’t need money to change, like your attitude. You can just start to be positive about your life; it is your choice. State of mind is something you can change – it is just your thoughts.

  Because of the circumstances and the state of the world, when we hear news of the so-called poverty stricken areas, it always tells stories of lack and negativity. If you look at the financial news, they are always on about how bad the markets are and the economy is, and we start thinking negatively. We start to think that whatever we do to improve our finances will fail, and it is a poor world after all. NO, the truth is that there is abundance in this world. There is more than enough for everyone, this is evident in the fact that as much as some people lack the basic things, other people have more than they will ever use.

  You must start cultivating a wealth state of mind. There are always plenty of fish to catch. If you lose this one, hey, no big deal; there are more to catch. A wealth state of mind removes fear of lack, making you notice the wealth that exists. Remember we are consciousness; what we see starts our thinking processes. When you see poverty you start doing things that bring more poverty through your thinking. You think poverty thoughts and come up with poor ideas. The same applies when you see wealth in the world. You start thinking thoughts of wealth, and you come up with thoughts and ideas for wealth.

  If you are in a poor state of mind, you become negative about achieving any dream you have. You need to change those thoughts as they will get you nowhere. You need to replace those beliefs by the positive ones, that there’s wealth, abundance, more than enough for everyone. When you look at the causes of poverty mentioned in this book, you can see that there is no poverty in this world; we people cause it ourselves. What you think becomes your reality; what you believe becomes real through your actions.

  Wealth is represented by the values in people, so the amount of people in the world represents the true wealth of the world, and do you know how many people are in the world? You want to tell me the world is not a wealthy place! If everyone develops and shares their values, we will all have more than enough. It starts with you, with your state of mind and what you choose to believe.

  Understand this, and apply it to your life. The only way any advice will mean anything to you is if you use it. Advice is worthless if it is not put into actions; just like education or knowledge, if you don’t use it, you achieve nothing. It is important to feed your mind with positivity. Read motivational books, and stay around people who inspire you, people who make you feel great about yourself. Feeling great about yourself will motivate you to do great things. It is the motivation you need.

  Surround yourself with success and you will achieve it. This is very true. It is what you observe that your mind picks up and expands on, as you think about what you see. This is why reading and gaining knowledge is vital to your success; it is because of your mind’s power to expand on knowledge. This is what I mean when I say no idea is original and everything is expanded on. Thoughts or ideas are born from what you see and what you observe; this is what our thoughts come from. We think of things we see and through our thoughts, and we experience life, since thoughts influence emotions, feelings, which is the experience of life.

  When you are surrounded by success, you are more likely to start thinking thoughts of success, you become inspired; this drives you to success. Look at any problem you have; the more you focus on a problem, no matter how small it is, without trying to find a solution, the bigger the problem seems to be. The same thing happens when you have any pain in your body, the more attention you give it without doing anything about it, the more painful it becomes.

  This is just the nature of consciousness; it expands everything you focus on. The train of thought starts expanding from your focus, your focal point. The more something stays in your mind the more your mind thinks of every angle related to it, which is what I mean about your mind having the power to expand anything you focus on. When you want success, it works to your advantage to focus on success; to focus on ideas which you can use to create success. This is how your mind will expand on those thoughts; it will give you idea after idea about creating wealth. It comes down to your focal point. It will expand anything you focus on.

  The same applies to focusing on lack. The more you focus on lack, the more lack you will see, and that will discourage you as it will kill your spirit, your inspiration. So what you focus your mind on is very important. It determines if you will be motivated to take actions or not.

  When you focus on negativity, it brings you down. It stops you from taking the initiative, and from taking actions. The more you focus on negativity the more negativity you will see in the world. As a result you will not take any positive actions – it kills your motive, it kills your dreams, and you will not aspire to be anything.

  It is the same thing that happens when you are about to buy a car. When you already know the car you want or when your friend has just bought a car, all of a sudden you notice a lot of cars of the same make as the one your friend bought, and all of a sudden it seems like there are many cars of the same make on the road. Your mind zones in; you notice the car now because you can relate to it, because you know someone who has just bought it. The many cars you see of the same make as your friends were always there, you just did not take note of them until they become your focal point, when your friend bought one. This is a good example that shows how our focus expands things. The more you focus on positivity, the more positivity you will see, which will result in you being inspired to reach your dreams. The more you seek to see the positive side of every situation, the more positivity will come out of every situation you face.

  Your focus is very important to your success. It determines your state of mind, and your state of mind is determined by what you focus on. The more you focus on something the more you think about it. What you think about mostly becomes your state of mind, which becomes vital to your success, and to how you turn your energy to productivity. Also note that when you feel down most of the time because you are more focused on negative news, it eats up your energy. This is the energy you should be using productively to find success.

  Be aware of this, and choose what you give your attention to. Don’t waste your time thinking about things that are useless to your future, and don’t give any attention to things that don’t build you up and are not positive. No matter how much negativity is going on in the world, no matter how bad things seem to be, it will help you not to pay attention to negative situations. You must find the positivity in any situation. Believe me, it is there. Everything is equally negative and positive, and focusing on positivity will build you up. Remember that positivity adds to your life while negativity subtracts from your life.

  You can have the greatest life; people will wish to be where you are but you will hate yourself and won’t appreciate your life achievements because of your focus when you are focused on negativity. This is why some people we regard as successful, who have the wealth and the fame, ruin their lives with drugs and commit suicide. It is because they focus on what is bad rather than looking at what’s good. As much as many people envy them, and people want to be them, they fail to see their own success and positive things about their lives. So this is very important. You can be the richest person in the world but if your mind is too focused on what’s wrong you will not enjoy any bit of your success because you are focused on negativity.

  You must choose where you place your attention
, or what you give your attention to. Make it a choice. Choose to focus on positivity. Focus on what’s right about your life; this is how you become positive and enjoy your life. Instead of beating yourself up after your failures, focus on learning from them. Look for the positives; look at what you could do better next time. When there is bad news on TV as there normally is, switch it off. Don’t allow any negativity get to you, it is what will make you feel down when you were supposed to be productive, and it will stop you from achieving your dreams.

  It sounds like nothing when it is discussed because most of it happens subconsciously, but you would not believe that hearing about the bad economy, bad accidents and dead people, even on the other side of the world, will affect your energy. You won’t believe that it will make you lazy or affect your work in a bad way, because it affects you unconsciously. You might not feel sad when hearing the bad news, but when energy is required for you to perform tasks, or make business decisions, it will affect how you will make your decisions. Your energy will be down, and you will be in a negative mood which will result in wrong decisions, even if they seem to be the right decisions, because of your mood, or your state of mind.

  When you are in a negative state of mind, negative decisions seem to be the right decisions. You will take negative actions which will subtract from your life, which will make you feel even more negative. That’s why the poor become poorer. Poor people are likely to be more negative about life because of their reality and how most people relate having money with wealth. If there is no money people think they can’t be wealthy. They think that they are born to be poor; it is just life, which is all wrong. The only way they can change their situation is if they change their state of mind, look for positivity, and focus on success, and by the nature of things, they will start taking positive actions which will result in them being successful.
