Rich dad said, “Everyone has the ability to build a financial ark to survive and flourish in the future. But you must invest time in your financial education to build an ark with a solid foundation.”

“Take control of your own financial ark and buy or build assets that generate cash flow. Include real estate, busineses, and paper assets. As soon as your income from your assets (your money working for you) exceeds your expenses you are financially free.”

GOAL III: 50k Goal Achieved

My goal that I had set for nearly two years has finally manifested itself!

I work in a sale & marketing company who partners with various associations to create the Industry Buyer’s Guides for over 100 different industries. My particular responsibility is to sell the top global banner positions on the Buyer’s Guides Website to relevant vendors in each industry.

The day that I walked in for my first day at that company, I noticed the coveted $50,000 dollar wall. It is a wall that was lined with the pictures of the top 12 sales people in the company who sold over $50k in a single month.

That very day I made up my mind that I would be on that wall, whatever it took. Obviously to achieve this, I would have to become an above average salesperson.

So, how did I do it?

There is no one thing; however I can share with you a number of the practices that went into making this goal a reality.

·         Ongoing Visualization Both Morning & Nights

Although I must admit that it wasn’t necessarily an everyday occurrence, I cannot tell you how many mornings I consistently sat in a quiet place, went into a deep (often not) meditation and began to visualize the achievement of the goal. I pictured the exact sale that took me over the 50k, the great feeling within me, the positive reactions of my peers; and even imagined getting my picture taken to go up on the wall.

          I played this movie again and again until it was real to me. I created these movies in my mind, countless times in contemplation and as I lay in bed at night before falling asleep.

·         Continual Imagining

Beyond the visualization process in  formal meditation sessions, I also continually pictured my picture upon that wall every time I passed it numerous times throughout the day, and accompanying this imagining were the same joyful feelings…

·         Cultivating the Feelings of Having Already Achieved It

(Through Prayer, Visualization, and Inner Cultivation)

·         Ongoing Forward Motion Through Making Sales Calls

This means that every morning I got into to work and got in front of the right customers, and stayed consistent in making sales calls, and Asking for the sale.

·         Training My Mind to Remain Persistent and Optimistic Even When Results Were Not Showing and Horizons Looked Dismal

There were numerous times that were extremely challenging where I would barely make any sales during specific weeks. There were times where I wanted to quit, where I wanted to throw in the towel and move on. But I am glad to say that I stuck with this goal.

·         Prayer

Not only did I fervently ask God for this to be answered in the words of my tongue, I also fervently Thanked God In Advance for answering me. This thanks and gratefulness ahead of time, created a very real and joyful feeling within me, as if I had already achieved the goal.

To quote Stuart Wilde “Prayer has to be a feeling to work. You have to feel that the thing you are asking for is feasible and that it already exists in your soul as a reality.”

·         “The Three Insulators “

o   Having Faith in God

o   Having Faith in Myself

o   Having Faith in Others

 I set this goal to achieve in 2008. So from February until December I worked diligently to ensure, but was unsuccessful. In 2009, I set the same goal, and I am grateful to say that all of these forces have come together to make this goal a reality.

I called a CPA to finally get all my taxes in order.

I setup up the Subscribe Page (Opt In Form) for this website in order to create a list.

I wrote out a short PDF on how you can CREATE YOUR OWN SLIDE SHOW VISION BOARD .

I set out to achieve 3 tasks for today that would move me towards greater Financial Freedom & More Passive Income.

They were as follows:

1) To Iron Our My Core Message & Prospect for This Internet Business

2) Decide on the best front end product that I can offer my readers here to benefit their lives and monetize the website.

and

3) To contact 3 or more Real Estate Contacts.

I am about to go to bed now, and may work on my core message before I do.

I still have not discovered a good product that I can market to my audience to benefit their lives, and make this website profitable. I am sure an answer will manifest sooner or later.

I DID successfully complete the 3 real estate contacts…inquiring with about 5 people with a good deal of experience in the industry on what I can do for financing in our current market and with my credit that is still in the process of being improved.

Also, I did enjoy a good deal of financial and Internet marketing education today with my mastermind group.

So although I did not achieve everything I had wanted today, I am still going to acknowledge the small success I did have.

“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.”

-Old Chinese Proverb

I have been aiming to take one or more wealth building actions with the intention of creating and ongoing and consistent habit of small efforts which will ultimately result in a huge ongoing payoff for the rest of my life.

Although I have been taking small actions for the last few days (i.e. calling a realtor, writing an email to some wholesalers, and working to monetize this website), it just seems that I could be doing more to speed up this process. This could just be the fact that my ego is never satisfied.

Could it be, that even if I have been taking small actions, I should BE CELEBRATING for taking any action at all?

What if I just celebrate for taking any action at all?

When it comes to the law of attraction, and feeling good about the process, I am sure that guilt only serves to delay the flow of receiving good things. For that reason, I choose to let it go and congratulate myself for any forward motion.

A friend of mine has a very successful Internet marketing company. Last year his company pulled in somewhere near 19 million dollars in gross revenue. Apparently, he is very good at what he does.

This weekend they are putting on a 3-day internet marketing seminar, and charging people about $2,000 dollars to attend.

He has invited me to come for free.

Although, I don’t think that having a blog technically makes me an internet marketer, I am considering going anyhow. Who knows, I could learn something tremendous worth millions to myself in the long run, or make a contact that will positivley transform my life forever. In fact, I’m almost sure that I would.

The only problem is that is quite literally taking up THE ENTIRE WEEKEND. I’ve been working all week and looking forward to a chance to relax, however if I attend the event, I’ll be up and at it all weekend, and chances are the next weork week will be here before I know it.

It’s just a choice I’ll have to make. I intend to make it by 8:00PM today. One way or the other we will know by then.

I choose to hold myself accountable to you, the public audience to ensure that I do everything that I commit to doing in growing wealth and increasing financial freedom:

I didn’t really do my wealth education yesterday beyond a few minutes reviewing yahoo finance news articles, seeing the news released to the public.

The only action I took in that regard is by adding an amazon link to the book on Gold & Silver.

Tonight I have a Multi-Family Real Estate Investment networking meeting to attend. I am sure to make some good contacts and learn some valuable information for down the road.

Although financing may be challenging in the current times, I am sure to develop some contacts and/or learn something valuable. I will report it here so that others may make use of it as well.

I do not trust what is happening with the dollar. The Federal Reserve has continued to print more an more currency not backed by anything but people putting their trust in small green pieces of paper.

All of these government bailouts you may be hearing about…seems to me full of arrogance and hubris. All these billions of imaginary dollars printed from thin air.

Each imaginary dollar printed decreases the buying power of the money already out there. And this cycle won’t stop until people no longer put their trust in it. Eventually, the bubble will pop, and I anticipate it having a knockout punch to the economy of the United States.

Once the dollar crashes, everyone will come running to the “safe haven” of precious metals, but by then the buying power of gold and silver will have skyrocketed. Time and time again, when a government has gone off the gold standard this pattern has repeated itself.

Gold and silver will take the cake as they always do.

That is one reason why my intention is to build up a gold and silver reserve. This year, I would like to contribute a few hundred dollars to investing these metals every month. Growing this until I will eventually be converting thousands of dollars into these metals at a time. The more I collect, the stronger the magnet will be in attracting more gold and silver.

I intend to make this a solid, continuous, and ongoing habit-strengthening the holdings every month until I eventually need to store them in various third party vaults around the world.

There is going to be an immense transfer of wealth in the upcoming years, and I intend to be ready for it.
