What's Your Personal Wealth?

Let's admit it, we go into business to make money. Sure, we probably were motivated by other factors such as passion, a mission, experience, a market gap...However, our lives are dominated by thoughts of how to make enough money to live on, how to make more, how to become wealthy and how stay this way.

It doesn't matter whether you're starting out or feeling a lot of abundance, you'll have your challenges. Making money represents power and our attitude reflects how we feel about abundance.

Not sure what you believe? Ask yourself these questions...

1. What words below correspond to your beliefs about money?
2. Of the words listed below, what do these words mean to you? Add your own...

Security, power, freedom, materialism, fun, legacies, greed, corruption, oppression, opportunity, generosity, evil, goodness, status and success.

Our fears often keep us from achieving what we want because we feel we'll change too much or our world will change for the worst so we self-sabotage ourselves. If we don't feel good about ourselves or doubt our abilities, we won't have emotional or financial wealth. If we manage to attain wealth but feel like someone will steal it away or the market will crash, we won't enjoy it.

Abundance is more than money and you don't have to wait until you accumulate a fortune to feel abundant - you can find abundance in what you have right now...relationships, passion, health, etc.

Think about your beliefs and see how you can make them positive - so you can attract what you desire.

That's it for now...

An Extraordinary Life...

It takes time, energy and support to build an extraordinary life and no one does it alone. Sometimes wonderful mothers help, sometimes good friends, spouses, mentors, colleagues, Mastermind members and so forth....

In the next few weeks, I am going to give you a top 10 list of things to help you build an incredible life.

Here is this month's top 10 tips:

What you focus on expands - think good things
When a great idea hits - write it down
Every day ask youself, "Is this the best use of my time and energy?"
Set aside 30-60 minutes every morning for personal development - mediate, visualize your day, read good literature, listen to inspirational CDs
Focus on purpose, not outcome - do things because you love them or they help others and don't focus on money and recognition; this will come on its own
Laugh every day - watch kids, listen to a comedienne, read comics in the paper...
Sit still - do this for 10 minutes every day; you can sit idly, write notes or daydream
Practice focusing your mind - when you do a task, pay attention to what you're doing
When you think of something negative, quickly replace it with something positive; positive thoughts are more powerful than the negative
Leave a legacy - write down what you want to accomplish before you die and do something every day or week

That's it for now...
