15 WAYS TO DEVELOP YOUR MIND AND INCREASE YOUR WEALTH

"If you want to have more , you first have to become more" Jim Rohn

1. The ability to develop the capacity to see - in your mind's eye - a vision - if you will - ability to spot opportunities that might not be obvious to people -  it is a gift that is nurtured and acquired over a period of time.

2. The ability to develop an intuitive ability (ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason- a six sense if you will that many people don't have  - ability to "smell" deals miles away.

3. Being educated is just a part of it, but most often than not you have to acquire the mindset through trial and error and the school of hard knocks - you learn through apprenticeship.

4. A level of street smarts that you acquire by being involved in everyday rudimentary tasks of entrepreneurship  and business practices - business as an art or science is boring and you have to be able to maintain the repetitive tasks and discipline required to get you going - for example, you want to raise capital - you should be disciplined to call or talk to a number of people per day.

5. The ability to know the difference between income and wealth -It is possible to have a higher  income and not be wealthy - Always remember that building wealth does not require a large income, however, it requires a  mindset that is disciplined and a long term perspective.

6. Ability to recognize that we are the pillars of  economic growth in a capitalistic society

7. The ability to achieve the wealth building mentality and have a balance in all areas of your life -  spiritually, physically, financially, emotionally and your relationship.

8. The ability to know that you have a conscious and social responsibility to be a good citizen in your entrepreneurship, investment and business dealings.

9. An attitude that says that no matter what happens I will continue my journey - If I lose my millions I would be able to go back to the drawing board and start all over again without any shame -or the ability  to have the emotional or psychological attitude to have things done no matter what!

10. Knows  that you learn through having mentors and updating your knowledge through short focused courses and building a library of books where you are always learning and updating your knowledge base -  I don't think there will ever be a time when the entrepreneurs says I have arrived!!

11. Don't wait to get fired before  you start thinking about developing a wealth building mind set and starting your own side line business - the forecast for the economic trend would dictate that people would be  laid off - just discover your passion and set up your own sideline business - always have a business on the side - don't wait to get laid off before you start thinking about starting a business.

12.Get into the habit of attending seminars on specific topics that interests you that would help you accelerate your knowledge base - for example if you are interested in real estate investments, look for inexpensive courses at continuing education department at the universities.

13. Always explore new ideas and challenge existing norms - exploring new frontiers will always get you motivated to do the unusual - and if you are starting a business do think big and go for it!!!

14. To know that your ideas on wealth creation is what makes you wealthy and not working for somebody else - working for somebody will make you  live comfortably, but will not make you wealthy.

15. The ability to know the mechanics of business management - the functional areas like accounting, marketing, financial controls etc., that makes business run.
