“True economy is misapprehended, and people go through life without properly comprehending what that principle is. One says, “I have an income of so much and here is my neighbour who has the same; yet every year he gets something ahead and I fall short; why is it?” P.T Barnum (1880)
“Why is it?” that is the question you must ask yourself. Why are you falling behind?
After spending more than one decade studying “The Prosperity Bible”, I have concluded, there are five simple steps to getting the level of wealth you desire:
- Define your wealth: What do you want? How much do you want? Be clear and intentional about the things you want.
- Decide your why: Why do you want this level of wealth? You need to know your why. Desires alone will not be sufficient, to push beyond the sacrifices you must make, to realise your cherished dream.
- Design a plan: Find out, how you can do it. Have a strategy, it doesn’t have to be detailed, but it must show a roadmap. Have a mental picture, a pathway on how you will realise the wealth you desire.
- Make a Vow: There is no success without immolation. Decide, out of 24hrs in a day, how much time will be spend working on your goals. What are you willing to sacrifice to realise your why? Sacrifices are necessary, especially if you are to achieve a particular type of goals… which are time pressing.
- Take-action: Action is just the first step… consistent action, is what defines success. Every day, remind yourself, why do what you do. Relook the goals, go through the vows, counter check and ensure your actions are consistent with the goas you want to achieve.
Great wealth depends on simple rules: I will do it or die trying! It’s that simple. Make a vow, whatever it takes, I will do it or die trying.
The one thing that all wealth individuals agree on, there are endless opportunities for everyone. Once you have defined your wealth, you need only follow through these simple steps to realise your cherished dream. And, you make a vow, “I will do it or die trying.”
