8 Ways To Wealth

Here is something that should be on all our hearts and minds in the USA. I know it is on mine.

This is from my friend Brian Tracy. Enjoy!

Leave a comment and let me know if this is useful or not

The Parable of the Talents is the primary reason for wealth or poverty throughout history.

Reasons for Rich or Poor

Why do some people retire rich and most people retire poor? This subject has fascinated philosophers, thinkers, mystics and teachers throughout the ages. There have been so many cases of hundreds or thousands and even millions of men and women who have started with nothing and become financially independent that people are naturally curious to know why it happened and what are the common rules or principles that others can apply to become wealthy as well.

Why People Become Rich

One illustration of this key principle is called the parable of the talents. In the Bible, it says, "To him that hath, shall more be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away."

Accumulation Leads to More Accumulation

What does it mean? In the modern world, we say "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." The fact is that people who accumulate money tend to accumulate more and more. People who don't accumulate money seem to lose even that little bit of money which they have. Why should this happen? The great success principle, the single idea that explains human destiny is simple. It says that, "you become what you think about, most of the time."

Control Your Thoughts

And whatever you dwell upon, grows in your reality. You create your entire world by the things you choose to think about and how you choose to think about them.

It just so happens that wealthy, successful people fill their minds with thoughts, words, pictures and images of wealth, affluence, success, productivity and solutions to problems in the marketplace, most of the time. These thoughts trigger the reticular activating cortex, the part of the brain that makes you more alert and sensitive to things that you have decided are important to you.

Activate Your Reticular Cortex

For example, if you decide to invest in a mutual fund, you will start to see news and information about mutual funds everywhere. Mentions in newspapers and magazines will jump out at you. These notices have always been there but now you have sensitized your brain to pick them up and draw them to your attention with far greater frequency and vividness. This is the function and power of your reticular cortex.

Avoid Poverty Thinking

On the other hand, what do poor people think about most of the time? Unfortunately, poor people fill their minds with thoughts of scarcity, lack, poverty, being unable to afford things. They are always thinking and talking about how little money they have, how much things cost and how they wish things could be better financially. What they think about most of the time is how little money they have.

Think Like Wealthy People Think

Wealthy people from an early age think about how much they have, how much they want and all the different things they can do to acquire and earn the money and things they desire.

Find Out How Rich People Think

Here's a rule for you. If you want to become successful, find out what failures do and don't do it. If you want to be wealthy, find out what poor people think about, and avoid thinking in those ways. Instead, find out how wealthy people think. Find out what they read. Find out how they spend their time. Study their lives, read their stories and autobiographies and listen to their words when they are interviewed and on tape. The more you find out what financially successful people think and talk about most of the time, and do the same things, the more rapidly you will enjoy the same rewards that they do.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do to put this parable of the talents into action:

1. First, make a decision today that from now on you will think and talk only about the financial success that you desire. At the same time, you will refuse to talk about or dwell upon your financial problems.
2. Second, instead of saying, "I can't afford it," instead ask the question, "How can I afford it?" When you think of something that you want or need that you don't have the money for at the time, the only question you ask is, "How?" How can you get it? What can you do to achieve it?
   

What are your options? How can you get from where you are to where you want to go? This type of attitude will change your life.

Credit, Money and the Home

By Kimberly Flores


Did you know that money is mentioned in the bible more times that heaven or hell?

Does the idea of telling your spouse what you spent on marketing send chills down your spine? Why? Because you have nothing to show for it…yet?

Do you have a set budget you follow, including your online expenditures? Or, are you just throwing your money at whatever looks provocative at the moment?

Have you found out that PPC (Pay per click) search engines eat your money faster than you can check your credit card balance?

Don’t cry, I’m right there with you. Running up a credit card balance is very scary, hoping against all that your promoting will pay off. It can eventually show some profit if you keep at it, but where is the break-even point?

I know firsthand how this feels. Been there, done that.

Ok, the first thing you MUST DO: STOP USING CREDIT!

If you aren’t seeing any income, stop using your cards and instead set aside an amount in a savings-type account to draw from with a debit card. If you are receiving some commissions, or income, reinvest that rather than put your family’s livelihood on the line.

This is very difficult.
I have come to associate online marketing like gambling. It isn’t a sure thing, so it must be a gamble. This is a sin to me now.

I am very cautious about where I put my money. I still invest in advertising mind you but I research it thoroughly.

I have searched and prayed for an answer to this question: “If I am to prosper as promised, I must follow Gods principles or I won’t be entitled to the promise”.

I found this resource that has helped me tremendously: http://www.crown.org/ there aren’t any affiliate links so I don’t get a dime promoting them but I am anyway. I’ve learned so much from their vast assortment of resources.

I have set a budget and am trying diligently to stick to it, making at least 5% for marketing/advertising.

To quote an article from Crown:

Debt

Nothing in the area of finances has dominated or influenced the direction of our society during the past 50 years as much as debt. However, being debt free is still God’s plan for His people today. The blessings of becoming debt free go far beyond the financial area; they extend to the spiritual and marital realms as well. No one who is financially bound can be spiritually free. The effects of financial bondage on a marriage relationship are measurable in the statistics of failed marriages. Approximately 50 percent of all new marriages fail, and finances are listed as the leading cause of divorce by a factor of four to one.

What is debt?
Simply put, debt is something that is owed. The Bible does not prohibit a person from borrowing, but it does warn against surety—taking on debt without an absolutely sure way of paying it back. If collateral used to secure the loan can, in case of default on the loan, cover the balance of the money owed plus interest, the loan is not surety. However, taking into consideration that most debt in America is surety, we need to redefine debt. Today, debt can be defined as a condition that exists when a loan commitment is not met or when inadequate collateral is pledged to satisfy the loan agreement. Debt is not credit. Credit is the establishment of a mutual trust relationship between a lender and a borrower. Most often the undisciplined use of credit quickly leads to debt.

Establishing credit
The best way to establish credit is to borrow against an acceptable asset, such as an existing savings account. Almost any bank will lend money up to the amount that is in the account and charge from 1 to 2 percent more for the loan than the prevailing saving rate. If within a year you pay back the amount borrowed, the total cost for acquiring the loan will be approximately $20. Then, by using the bank as a credit reference, you most likely can qualify for a major credit card, although the credit limit may be the minimum amount. With disciplined use of the credit card and faithful payment of the bill, credit limits probably will be raised.

The best way to cancel an existing credit card or credit account is first to make sure the account is not delinquent. If it is current, you can send a letter to the accounts department, customer service, or business office of the bank that issued the card and request that your account be cancelled. Because the credit card is the property of the issuing bank, you also will need to cut the cards in half and send the cut cards along with your letter. Generally, banks will not accept a letter of cancellation unless the cut up cards accompany the letter and the account is current. Along with the letter you can either send a check to cover the outstanding balance or request payment arrangements. However, the payment arrangements they offer may or may not be the same as your previous monthly payment requirements.

Common attitudes that lead to debt

1. Ignorance. Many people, especially those in the baby boomer generation, never were trained how to handle money. The philosophy of today’s society is to spend and spend; if you don’t have the money to spend, charge it. If you want it, get it, because you deserve it.

2. Indulgence. In today’s American society we tend to feel that we should get what we want, when we want it. The whole concept of saving in order to buy seems to be a thing of the past.

3. Poor planning. No matter how noble our intentions may be, without a written plan that gauges and monitors income versus expenditures we will eventually find ourselves in debt and having financial troubles.


How to get out of debt
“The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, but the naïve go on, and are punished for it” (Proverbs 22:3). The following are steps that anyone can take to get out of debt and to stay out of debt.

1. Give to God first. The first fruits of all that He gives us—the tithe from our gross income—must be our first commitment. Without faithfully fulfilling this commitment, all other efforts will fail.

2. Stop all forms of borrowing. This includes credit card use, personal bank loans, family loans, student loans, and all consumer credit. The sooner you stop borrowing, the sooner you will be out of debt.

3. Develop a balanced budget. A balanced budget is the primary tool in any family’s plan for managing money. If you are in debt already, the budget will need to be fairly restrictive at least for a while.

4. Work out a pay-back plan with your creditors. Most creditors are more than willing to work with people who honestly want to repay them. Make sure that every creditor gets something, but stay within the guidelines of your budget.

5. Learn to trust God. God knows what you need before you ask, so begin to trust Him for the things you need but can’t afford. Do not charge to get them; wait for God’s provision.

6. Exercise self-discipline as a lifestyle. Curb impulses to buy. If it is not budgeted, don’t buy it.

7. Seek wise counsel. Many people need assistance in establishing and maintaining a budget and working with creditors.

8. Rely on God’s Word. Make all financial decisions based on the principles of God’s Word, not on the world’s financial principles and conventional financial wisdom.


Conclusion
God wants us to live debt free in order to serve Him to the utmost of our abilities and resources. If we are in debt, we are bound to the creditor and are not free to serve God to the utmost. If you are in debt, determine now to get out and stay out. Anyone can become debt free and stay that way, with desire, discipline, and time. With God’s help, it can be done.
