Wealth Vs. Maintenance

There are two types of people in this world-wealth-minded people and maintenance-minded people

. Now, which side of the equation you're on really is important, and I'll tell you that likely as not, you're on the maintenance-minded side, which comprises 95% of the population. Of course, you're here-that's why you're making the move.

So let's talk about this wealth and maintenance. By the way, I'm an American. Even though we're taught in school that our country is the Land of Opportunity, we're trained to get a job. Real opportunity never came about by getting a job-it always happens by starting a business.

And it is still by starting a business, and it is by being financially sound. Financial literacy is a cornerstone of this philosophy. It's one of the items, point #4-specialized knowledge-that the people who become rich acquire.

So what are we talking about? We're talking about building something. Life is supposed to be a progression. It's not supposed to be maintenance, where you keep a job, keep your family together until you get old enough, and you die, and then they bury you if you have enough insurance or if you've saved enough.

It's talking about setting out with a purposeful intent of doing something. It's connecting the beginning with the end.

Maintenance thinking-again, survival. Get a job, beat around until it's all over.

For wealth, we realize we've got an opportunity to plant a crop. It's all about possibility-what do you want in your life? By the way, we always say "wealth," which is closely tied in with actualization. And it's so true.

It's about doing things. It's about creating the plans to accomplish what you want and moving in emotion, doing it, building, compounding. It's about, yes, making investments. It's about being smart and knowing and using business deductions and depreciation-man, that's a whole 'nother thing. Real estate is a good industry.

It's about creating equity in your life, compounding. You know what you're doing. You're not just getting by-you're not just wondering if you can make ends meet. It's about appreciation; the stuff you invest in and create, whether that be a business, whether that be intellectual property, whether that be real estate or investments.

And above all, it's always about using leverage.

This leverage of course is hoisted by, or channeled by, or tied to, your definite chief aims. And of course, that's the whole point of these articles. We talk about how a little force can have a big effect. And that's what leverage is.

We talk about how little an extra mile is. It can be less than four minutes, and yet it's the difference that puts you on the side of the wealth-minded person. It keeps you in the consciousness, keeps you with the knowledge, gives you the encouragement and the insight to plan and act.

I recently received an email, and at the bottom it said, "Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain." And that's the difference between the maintenance thinking that most people have-how to survive the storm-and the wealth thinking that you can have: how to dance in the rain!

I wish you wealth! In invite you to actualization.
