A Few Simple Things You Must Do If You Want To Be Wealthy
Making money is easy when you move to cause rather than living
out effects.
Let me draw a simple analogy to clarify my point.
Imagine standing before a huge waterfall. You’re thirsty and
the water is fresh, clean, and pure. You can take as much as you
like.
How much can you take home with you?
It all depends on the size of your container.
You can take a thimble, a small cup, a gallon bucket, a
barrel, or even a tank truck.
Similarly, the amount of money in the world
is like this fountain of abundance. Trillions of dollars
circulate around the world. The fountain is abundant.
Some people can hold billions, others millions, others
hundreds of thousands, others tens of thousands, others
thousands, others hundreds, and yet others only a pocketful.
These things are actually only the effects.
Effect is what you see in the visible world. They are the
results of a wealth building strategy that worked.
What, however, are the causes? How are people able to build
wealth in the first place?
Cause is what happens in the invisible world before the
effect becomes apparent in the world of the senses.
The cause of money is thought, and the amount of money in your life is based on only one
thing: the size of your thinking. This is the most fundamental
wealth knowledge you need to change your destiny.
If you’re a small thinker, you go to the fountain of
abundance with a small container. It may be a tin can to hold
enough change to keep you alive. It may be a bucket that gives
you enough to survive in some comfort…but not enough to be
happy.
If, on the other hand, you’re a big thinker, you go to the
fountain of abundance driving your tank truck and you live
really well, with all the necessities of life easily taken care
of for your generation and maybe one or two generations after
you. You’re even in a place to share wealth. You’re a master
at some wealth building system.
Then, of course, there are the really big thinkers. They
don’t just have a tank truck–they have a whole fleet of tank
trucks lining up before the fountain of abundance. They can, if
they choose, buy small islands.
Your thinking decides the size of the container you use to earn
money.
How do you expand your thinking to be bigger?
The first thing you do is use your imagination. If you
simply practice learning how to think in bigger and bigger
amounts, you’ll find a better size to hold the abundance that
you want to have in your life.
The next thing you’ll want to expand is the size of your heart.
The more you can give of value and the larger the amount of
people that you can serve, the more money that you’ll make.
This is why the higher up you are in an organization, the more
people you serve, and, consequently, the higher your salary.
But, of course, an even better way to make money is to work for
yourself. When you work for yourself, then your pool of people
is almost unlimited. The greater the benefit that you offer
others, the more people you will find to accept that offer.
Finally, when your imagination and your heart have been
stretched enough, you’ll begin to seek ways to acquire knowledge
of your field and before you know it you’ll be a highly-paid expert.
The amount of money in the world is like this fountain.
Trillions of dollars float around the planet. Creating wealth
is a skill that many people and nations have learned.
It is my sincere hope that I have given you some valuable ideas
to mull over. When you consider how much better your life will
be when you are in charge, you may want to look even deeper into
how you can expand your imagination, your generosity, and your
knowledge of your industry or profession.

The Real Secret to Quickly Writing a Book For Maximum Profit
The secret is in creating an outline for the book that will help you “fill in the blanks” rather than wonder what to write about along the way.
So, if you haven’t started writing your book I have good news…
The fastest way to get going is to decide on your chapter topics/titles first before you try to figure out exactly what you want to say. If you have a problem figuring out what you want to name the chapters, just focus on the topic of the chapter and from there write a brief explanation or “purpose statement” of the topic.
Here’s a really simple way to do it:
Topic Example: Money Management Basics
Chapter Explanation Example: “It’s time to forgive yourself for all the mistakes you’ve made with money and learn some financial basics that’ll put you on the path to financial fitness.”
This exercise will help you clarify what specific information you want to cover. It will also help you focus on the big picture rather than getting bogged down with too many little points you want to mention that don’t warrant an entire chapter dedicated to them.
If you’ve already started writing your book, or just started to write out your ideas, another secret to creating your outline is to reread what you’ve already written and instead of editing the content, use what you have to create chapter headings that support the text. The goal is to see if what you have fits with the chapter title so that you will know exactly what needs to be added or deleted to make the chapter complete.
Next, you’ll want to create subheadings. A subheading is an extension of the chapter.
For example, if your book is on Money Management and your chapter title is “Money Management Made Easy”, then a subheading within that chapter may be, “The 5 Things You Need to Do Right Now to Get Control of Your Money”.
This subhead allows you to expand on the topic of money management without having to create an entirely separate chapter to cover a small bit of separate, but related information.
Each chapter title or topic should have at least three (more if necessary) subheadings that are created as a result of asking the following “writing prompter” question: “What do I want to tell the reader about….” (fill in the blank with your topic)
Writing Prompter Example: What do I want to tell the reader about Money Management?
Chapter Title Example: Money Management Made Easy
Subhead Example: Budgets Suck…How to Spend Responsibly Without One
Subhead Example: Avoiding Late Fees and Other Costly Money Mistakes
Subhead Example: Start Saving Now…Even On a Shoestring
Another quick writing secret is not to throw away anything that doesn’t seem to fit in the book, instead create a document (in Microsoft Word or whatever application you’re using) and title it “Extra Content” then cut and paste everything that doesn’t seem to fit under a particular subheading or chapter in that document.
This will move it out of the way so you can focus your writing but will allow you to have access to it for future use as your book moves toward completion.
Can you see how simple the writing process becomes when you start by creating an outline?
An outline helps you to focus on what you ultimately want to tell the reader and the great thing about writing a book is that you don’t have to write it in any particular order. In fact, I’d recommended that you write it out of order.
By using this simple writing secret, you’ll create a book that your target audience wants to buy. But more importantly you’ll cross over into an elite group of authors who are considered experts. After all you wrote the book!
In the endless quest to attract more clients and get more business; coaches, speakers and entrepreneurs sometimes forget that there are several other ways to sell your services.
Apply what you’ve read to create an outline for the book you’ll write. When it’s complete use it to introduce your services to new clients, get radio and TV interviews, and even share the platform with other authors.
Use your book as a marketing tool to add thousands of extra dollars to your bank account!
