11 Tips to Become Overflowing with Wealth

Everyone aspires to be wealthy…

And there’s a reason why.

The freedom that money can give you can be fascinating.

The ability to not worry about the bills…

The ability to travel…

The ability to finance your business ideas…

It’s very promising.

You’ll be able to fund your children’s education. You’ll be able to support, give, and provide.

But how do you start your path to overflowing wealth?

11 Tips to Become Overflowing With Wealth

1. Learn from those who have already achieved the level of wealth you want to achieve.

Ask yourself, who are you learning from? Are they financially successful people?

What are the pieces of advice that you are often receiving and following?

Every answer here can make or break your chances of financial success.

Make sure to only follow the advice of people with credentials…

Or people who are in a position you want to be in.

Because only they can give you advice that would work…

Because they have experienced what you’re experiencing. And they found the solutions to your problems.

2. Take care of well-meaning advice

Following up on my first tip…

We often hear our relatives, parents, friends, etc. giving us financial advice.

While they really care about us… They’re not really in a position to give such advice.

If they are, why aren’t they wealthy?

I don’t mean to disrespect, and you shouldn’t too. Appreciate their concern, but you should know better.

Learn how to discern. Decide for yourself which of the advice that you’re receiving…

Are actually going to help you.

3. Learn how to invest. Including investments in yourself.

Find an investment vehicle and master it. The stock market, bonds, mutual funds, etc.

One thing I want to say though is that investing is not trading. Investments are when you let your money grow more than bank’s rates…

Therefore, beating inflation.

This can be for your retirement fund...

So start now.

Aside from that, learn how to invest in yourself.

I’m talking about buying books that you’re interested in…

Or enrolling in courses that would make you more money…

Or investing time to learn new skills that can be useful…

All of these can have a potential Return on Investment.

And the knowledge and the value that you’ll give yourself will pay for itself in the long run.

4. Have a wealth pathway, a blueprint.

This one is important. You need to have a ‘vehicle’ to take you to your goals.

What’s a wealth pathway or wealth blueprint?

This can be a business model or a niche.

For example, affiliate marketing, or e-commerce. This can also be Forex Trading…

Or a brick and mortar business, like a restaurant or coffee shop.

Whatever it is, you should master how it works.

If it’s a restaurant, try being an employee of one first. If it’s an online business model, try enrolling on a course first so you can learn how things work.

Other examples include real estate and freelancing 

5. Find a mentor or coach  like Dr. Amy Hymes.

After you have chosen your field, find a master, then be a student.,

This can be the teacher on the online course you enrolled in.,

Or an author on the field.,

Whoever it is, and it whatever way, learn from them.,

From their books, audio books, podcasts, seminars, webinars, etc. Soak them all up.,

Even the greatest was once a student, and they are always a student.,

Which leads me to my next point…,

6. Keep learning, be a perpetual student.

You’ll get to the point where you know enough to execute. But you won’t reach the stars if you’ll take your feet off the ground.

Don’t be the smartest guy in the room. Always be learning. You might be able to surpass your first mentor, get a second one. Get more mentors.

In whatever way, always be learning.

7. Try to make the most of your time, avoid procrastination.

Now that you have a blueprint and a mentor.

It’s now time to practice your discipline and be productive.

Avoid procrastination. Make sure that you’re making the most of your time.

Whether it’s studying a course, reviewing materials, or reading a book.

It’s time invested on your part which will be worth it in the future.

8. Find where your passion, purpose, and potential income overlaps, and do that.

This is ideal, so try to do this.

There’s something that you can make money from, which you enjoy, and serves your purpose while you’re alive.

That’s the best thing to dedicate your life to.

9. Focus on providing value to people, not making money.

The value you provide your people equals the money you’re making.

If you’re all about their money, without giving value in return, you’ll find it very difficult to succeed.

Focus on giving value, the money will follow.

Always try to over deliver.

10. Save up an emergency fund.

I mentioned that money in the bank will decrease in value because of inflation.

But your emergency fund should be in the bank…

So you can withdraw anytime you want to.

The suggestion is to have your monthly salary multiplied by 6, should be your emergency fund. Build it together with your retirement fund…

And your financial house will be stronger and safer.

11. Learn to spend wisely

Finally, learn to spend wisely.

Not because it’s on sale, you need to buy it.

One tip I can give you regarding this is to eat before going to the groceries. So you won’t feel hungry and buy more than what’s on the list.

If you can’t stop yourself from buying clothes, for example, then don’t window shop.

Read the full article below,  Dr. Amy 

                        ___________________________________

Alex is the kind of guy that everyone liked. He was always in between jobs and was always broke, but all his family and friends could only say good things about him.

His girlfriend, Kate, thinks that he is the sweetest guy in the world. However, she grew more and more exasperated with him over the years.

She loved Alex for his personality, but he always had trouble taking responsibility for his own life. As a result, Kate felt stuck in a situation where she always has to bail Alex out of trouble.

Things came to a head when Alex got into an accident. His car went off-road and into a ditch. But fortunately, he only suffered a few broken ribs and his leg was in a cast for 3 months.

The bad news was that it was actually Kate’s car, and Alex borrowed it so he could have a night out with his friends.

Needless to say, Kate was extremely upset.

But it wasn’t because of the car, but the fact that Alex’s irresponsibility almost got him killed.

She took care of Alex for the next several months, but she had already decided to break up with him by then.

So after Alex recovered from his accident, he had to take a long, good look at himself and the choices that he made.

This was when he realized that something had to change. It dawned on him that he was always going to be where he was if he didn’t do something about it.

How To Break Free From A Less - Than Ideal Life

Like Alex, many people lose their direction in life and feel trapped.

You might have a fuzzy idea of the person you want to be - or the kind of life that you want…

...but you don’t really know how to make that happen.

This is where feelings of dissatisfaction come from.

But the good news is that you can, in fact, get out of the rut you’re stuck in - even if you feel the complete opposite.

If you feel like you can’t move forward in life, chances are it has something to do with the 3 following reasons:

Reason #1. You Don’t Know What You Want

Most people don’t realize that they could be so much closer to their ideal future if only they spent real time thinking about what that future actually means.

They only have a vague, nebulous idea of the things that they want. Without a clear idea of what to aspire for, those plans and goals will be just as half-baked.

And so, you need to have a well-defined idea of what your “Point B” is - a.k.a. Where you want to be...

...then work your way back to “Point A”, which is where you are now.

That means you have to have a well-defined “Point B” before you can start plotting your course towards that destination.

To help you with that, here are some questions that you can ask yourself:

• What kind of values do I live for? Is it truth, helping others, creating beauty in the world, adding value to other people’s lives, etc.?
• In what way do I express these values in my personal life, and in my work?
• What kind of problems do I want to solve, and how does this honor my values?
• What would a typical day in my ideal future look like? Who am I with, and what kind of problems am I solving, and how do I add value to the world?

It’s very much worth your while sitting down and answering these questions. Be as detailed as you can and describe any emotional details as well.

The clearer you can paint this picture, the better sense of PURPOSE you’ll have in your life!

And this is the perfect antidote to feeling “stuck.”

Reason #2. You Don’t Know How To Get It

A lot of people tend to just accept their situation and get used to feeling stuck.

This is often because they have been so beaten down that they felt like there’s nothing to do but give up.

They become desperate and think that there’s really nothing else for them to do. It’s like they are in an endless tunnel with no light to look forward to.

What they don’t realize is that they lack a solid plan to get out of the rut they’re in. That’s why they never achieve the escape velocity to overcome the gravity of their situation.

Worse, they’re afraid to come up with a plan in the first place. Treading water and staying afloat is a lot less scary than trying to move forward and fail.

But in the long run, “protecting” yourself from failure has far worse consequences than making a plan to get un-stuck.

Here’s a good way to get the ball rolling:

• Get your plan in place: after you’ve spent time figuring out what you want to do (i.e., your Point B), the next step is to translate that desire into an actionable plan. From here you can come up with smaller goals leading up to your Point B.
• Use the SMART approach: any goals you make should be Specific (well-defined), Measurable (it can be measured in some way), Attainable (it’s actually possible to make accomplish those goals), Relevant (it’s connected to your values and sense of purpose) and Time-based (there’s enough time to execute your plans and there’s a definite timeline)
• Create checkpoints: any plan should run on a schedule, and that means setting up goalposts on your way to your Point B. So you can break down that big goal into smaller goals, which can each be represented by a specific checkpoint. That way, you’ll have a sense of progress as you reach each checkpoint.
• Get a planner: the act of writing down your goals on a planner will make your plans feel more tangible and doable. It will also give you a better sense of urgency since you’ll need to schedule your goals on a weekly and monthly basis.

This is a bird’s eye view of the “getting what you want” process, but this is a great way to overcome your inertia and keep moving forward.

Reason #3. You’re Getting In Your Own Way

Here’s the other thing - you’re going to run into a lot of obstacles when trying to get from Point A to Point B.

But you probably know this already. If you feel stuck in some way, that’s a clear sign you’re having trouble overcoming those obstacles.

And the biggest reason people can’t move forward is that they avoid asking the hard questions.

As uncomfortable as it is to grapple with these questions...

...this is the best way to remove those barriers getting in your way of a better life.

That said, it’s worth asking yourself the following:

• “Which of my habits aren’t serving my true purpose?” - The things that you do repeatedly are either helping you get what you want, or are slowing you down.
  So, make a list of the habits that honor your ultimate goals and those that don’t. With a little humility and self-awareness, you’ll figure out which habits you need to nurture - and which ones to starve.
• “What thought patterns are making it harder for me to succeed?” - More than daily habits, it’s also worth thinking about the kind of mindset you have when taking on life’s challenges.
  For instance, do you give up easily when you hit a wall - or do you pivot and try a different approach?
  Do you handle frustration well, or do you blow every setback out of proportion? Do you waste time complaining, or do you get busy taking action?

Answering these will give you good indicators or whether or not your mindset could use some tweaking.

This particular area is a HUGE sticking point that most people don’t bother to address.

They might know what they want and have a general plan in place. But if their own mindset is working against them, it’s going to be a very tough uphill battle.

How To Bounce Back And Rise Above Life’s Challenges

As for Alex, he wanted to bounce back from his situation. So, went through the process of figuring out what he wanted.

He was actually a great musician and played guitar in a band, but he’d let that part of his life slide. For the longest time, Alex wanted to get back into it by teaching young kids to play music.

But he’d always find some way to talk himself out of it. He convinced himself it was too hard and it was safer to just work the odd part-time job here and there to pay the rent.

Finally, he realized he needed a major mindset upgrade. It was the only way he could actually push through with his plans.

So as he put in the work to make his plans happen, Alex also tried something else.

He started looking inward and removed the unhealthy beliefs and negative thought patterns that were holding him back. When he figured out how to reprogram his mindset, everything began to fall into place for Alex.

And it was easier than he expected. Soon enough, he managed to get out of his rut and reinvent himself.

5 Examples of Empowering Beliefs for Success

If you want to be successful, the first step is believing that you will be successful! Going into a new business, a new career, a new venture or a new campaign believing that you’ll probably fail is never a good start. Instead, think positive, embrace the future and start thinking about some empowering beliefs which will drive you on.

1. The future is exciting, not scary

It’s not unusual to believe that the future is scary and you should be afraid of it. Many people share this belief, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. Yes, the future holds things that we don’t know about, but this should be viewed as exciting, not scary.

2. You can do it

A phrase which should be reinforced all the way through our lives, the belief that you can do this can get you a long way. After all, what makes you less likely to do it than somebody else? This can eliminate many of the negative thoughts that you have about yourself at work, in relationships or with your family.

3. Failure just means you can try again next time

The fear of failure is one of the main reasons why people avoid taking on new challenges. If you’re a perfectionist or you have a fear of failure, this could be a terrifying thought for you. However, once you realize that not getting something quite right the first time often means you can try again and do better, you don’t have to worry too much about getting something wrong.

4. Overcoming a challenge is a success

If you can find a way to love a new challenge and try your best to succeed, you won’t be afraid of challenges and you’ll be feeling empowered all the way. Rather than thinking about the failures and what could go wrong, think about the excitement and success of overcoming a difficult challenge. This is often very rewarding for many people, and can be a driving force in any successful venture.

5. Never stop being your best

If you’re performing at your best, there’s nothing more you can do. Nothing should feel more empowering than performing and working at your best, knowing that you’re doing everything you can to be on the road to success. Reinforcing this message to yourself each and every day means that you will keep on being the best person you can be, without comparing yourself to anybody else.

To your success,

Do You Know How-To Overcome Limiting Beliefs?

Once you’ve established that you have limiting beliefs which are stopping you from achieving what you want, you can start to take steps to overcome them. It’s not easy and quick to overcome limiting beliefs, particularly if it’s something you’ve been believing for as long as you can remember. Changing something around so drastically requires time and effort, but with the right mindset and support, there’s nothing to stop you.

Try to decide why you believe it

People have limiting beliefs without even realizing why or where they have come from. A lot of the time, limiting beliefs have been created as a person has been growing up – their parents have reinforced an idea enough times that it has remained in the person’s mind for their entire life without question. If you can try to understand why you believe something, that’s a good first step. You might then realize that you have no idea why you believe it and you shouldn’t believe it at all!

Realize that your beliefs are not you

Just because you’ve ended up believing something doesn’t mean that this is it forever now. You can change your beliefs at any point, so if you’re worried about backtracking, you have every right to do so. Developing as a person is just as much about growing and learning as it is about developing your beliefs and opinions, and if these change over time, that can be a good thing.

Differentiate between your beliefs and how you identify

Just because you don’t want to be something doesn’t mean that you can’t do it. It also doesn’t mean that you have to do it, but if you find yourself making excuse based on the fact that you just don’t think you can do something, this can be an example of a limiting belief.

It’s much more honest and upfront with yourself and others to say that you don’t want to do something, rather than that you can’t do it. Believing and saying that you can’t do something is constantly reinforcing to yourself that there are plenty of things you can’t do and you’re not as good as somebody else who can do it.

Do something different

To break out of the cycle of your limiting beliefs, do something different one day. Push yourself past the boundaries and out of your comfort zone. You never know what might happen.

Do You Know What is a Limiting Belief?

A limiting belief is a belief about yourself which limits you in some way. It could be about your ability to do something, your likelihood of being loved by somebody or your chances of getting a job you really want. If you’re believing something which puts a limitation on yourself, that’s a limiting beliefs. These beliefs can put constraints on you and your life and make you feel as though you’re less than other people or you won’t accomplish your goals.

Examples of limiting beliefs

If you’re starting to think that this sounds familiar and you might have some limiting beliefs, let’s take a look at some common examples.

“I can’t do it”: This is one of the most common limiting beliefs and can creep in to our lives when we are children. If you hear children saying this, it’s important to correct them with a positive line. This could either be, “You can’t do it…yet!” or you can reinforce the idea that they can do it!

“I’m not good enough”: Whether it’s our qualifications, our bodies, our minds, our faces or our salaries, not feeling good enough is a common emotion which we are all likely to have experienced at some point. This feeling, however, will be much stronger in your mind than in the mind of anyone else around you, so try to turn this around and stay positive rather than being negative and limiting yourself.

Why are limiting beliefs bad?

You might think you’re being realistic, and there is definitely a lot to be said for realism and maintaining a sensible course of action. However, limiting beliefs are different because they don’t even offer the opportunity to achieve your goals. Rather than reinforcing positive emotions and encouraging yourself to work harder towards a goal, you’re giving up and telling yourself that you can’t do it, you won’t be good enough, or somebody else will do it instead.

Limiting beliefs can stop you from going after what you really want, and in the long run, they can severely damage your self-esteem and confidence. You’ll start to regret letting your limiting beliefs take over, which in turn could create even more limiting beliefs.

In the end, letting go of your limiting beliefs and changing the narrative can help you to understand more about yourself and go for the goals that you thought were out of reach.
