You Can Build Wealth With 3 Essential Steps

 Wealth building is a very popular subject, and for good reason:
most of us want to enjoy financial freedom and abundance in our
lives! We all have different definitions of "wealth" - for some
it's millions or even billions of dollars; for others it's simply
the ability to comfortably maintain the lifestyle we want.

The great news is that, no matter how much (or how little) money
you need to be "wealthy" by your definition, you can have it. No
ifs, ands or buts - you can manifest the wealth you want... but
there are 3 special steps you need to take to get started. These 3
steps are an essential foundation to building true wealth, yet many
of us ignore them or are unaware of their importance!

==================================================

Step 1: Believe that you're worthy of the wealth you want, and see
yourself as already having it.

True wealth building actually has very little to do with the way
you earn money. It has much more to do with your internal beliefs
and perceptions about money and wealth: in other words, your
relationship with it. Get your beliefs and perceptions positively
aligned with wealth, and the "wealth building" part will happen
almost automatically!

For a good indication of your existing beliefs about money, take a
look at your current financial situation. If it's not the situation
you want, then you need to change your beliefs - they're what got
you where you are today! Contrary to what many people think, life
doesn't just "happen" to us. We actually create our entire life
experience based on our beliefs; those who enjoy the life
experiences they want have simply learned to adopt matching
beliefs, and they act according to them.

To change your wealth beliefs, begin by looking at how you feel
about wealth. What do you focus on when you think of money? What
does your self-talk (the "little voice in your head") say to you
when you think of wealth? Do you look at your surroundings and
focus on a lack of wealth? Are your finances a source of worry or
anxiety? Was money a touchy subject when you were growing up? Is it
now? When you see others with a lot of money are you envious of
them, or happy for them?

Write down all of your beliefs about money. Be totally honest with
yourself and don't leave anything out. Next, consider the level of
wealth you'd like and see if your beliefs match it. Chances are
some, if not all of them, won't.

Now rewrite any beliefs that don't match your desired wealth level.
For example, "Money doesn't grow on trees," could become "Money is
everywhere; it flows to me abundantly and effortlessly." "I don't
have what it takes to be rich," could become, "I enjoy a massive,
lucrative income from doing things I love and enjoy, with absolute
confidence and competence."

Those are just examples, but you get the idea. Our thoughts and
beliefs create our life experience - so if you want a positive
wealth building experience, your beliefs around wealth and money
need to be positive too! Practice reciting and affirming your
rewritten beliefs; really feel yourself adopting them and take them
as your own. You're programming your subconscious with new,
positive beliefs about wealth, and with consistent input you will
see results quickly!

==================================================

Step 2: Determine what you love to do, and take action to build
wealth with it!

It doesn't matter if you work for someone else, for yourself, or if
you own a company and employ others. You can make a lot of money
doing almost anything, although it's true that most very wealthy
people work for themselves or own their own businesses. But working
for someone else can be a stepping stone to starting your own
business. In fact, working in an industry you're interested in can
be a great way to learn about starting a business of your own.

What's really essential is that you enjoy what you do; that you
approach it creatively and do it with passion. Talk to anyone who
is truly wealthy, financially and otherwise, and you'll find that
they're almost always passionate about what they do.

As with Step 1, to determine what you love it's important to write
things out. This helps you organize things mentally and also
generates positive input for your mind - it becomes the "raw
material" that you use to generate ideas.

So think about what you love to do. What are your hobbies,
interests, passions? What do you totally love to immerse yourself
in? When you're in "the zone," what are you usually doing? Ask
yourself the following questions: "What would I do, or create, if I
knew I could not fail?" "If I had the time and freedom, what would
I do whether I was paid to do it or not?"

These questions can help you determine your passions. Once you've
written down your answers, put your mind to work. Brainstorm and
research ways that you could make money from these things: business
ideas, jobs, products, services and so on - whatever applies best
to your particular passions. Remember: anything is possible, so
don't leave anything out!

Once you've created your list, go back and refine it. Pick the
ideas that feel best to you - the ones you really feel excited
about! Then look at ways you could put them into action... and take
that action! Make sure you move forward consistently, even if it's
just baby steps at first. Some of the biggest corporations in the
world started from tiny one- or two-person operations; they
succeeded because their founders took consistent action, one step
at a time! And some of the wealthiest individuals in the world got
that way simply by doing things they loved to do.

==================================================

Step 3: Make sure you create value for others.

This is essential. Whether you work for yourself or someone else,
your success with wealth building depends on how much value you
provide for others. That's all money is: a means of exchanging
value. As a business owner, you receive money in return for the
value (products and/or services) you provide to your customers or
clients. You can then exchange that money for things of value to
you or your business. As an employee, you receive money for the
value you provide to your employer, or your employer's customers or
clients. You can then exchange that money for things of value to
you.

The more value you provide, the more wealth you can build. If
people decide that what you offer is of value to them, they will
gladly exchange money for it. By overdelivering on what you offer -
in other words, by providing people with great value for their
money - you virtually guarantee that you'll build wealth!

Your actions also need to be in line with the greater good. In
other words, if what you do is harmful or creates negative effects
in some way, it's not worth doing - even if it manages to create
some sort of value on a temporary basis. Wealth built in that way
just doesn't last; it's not really wealth at all. So focus on
providing great value, and operate according to positive
principles. If you do that, you'll create positive, abundant wealth
- it's that simple!

These 3 steps are an essential foundation for your wealth building
activities. Anyone who has created great wealth will tell you that
your success depends on your beliefs and state of mind as much as
your actions... in fact, your state of mind determines your
actions! So make sure to include these 3 essential steps in your
own wealth building activities - and remember: you can do it.
