7 Steps to a Wealth Mentality

Last week my friend, Ruben, shared with me some interesting business materials from the incredible internet marketing mastermind, Joe Vitale. I thought I'd post his 7 Steps to Attracting Wealth with you. Here they are:

1. Give money away. A generous person is a mentally healthy person. The ability to part with money by sharing with an inspiring cause or person reinforces a mentality of abundance in your own mind. I would suggest that you send the money to Mixonian : ), but I'm not set up to receive donations....yet. Seriously, think about helping someone in a way that gets you enthusiastic about it.

2. Get clear about what you want in life and your attitude(s) toward wealth. Reflect to see if you are storing any negatives beliefs about money. Some of these could include the conviction that money is evil, that wealthy people are mean, that wealth is only for certain people and not you.

3. Take inspired action. When you get an idea, act upon it. How many times have you seen someone else successfully implement your idea?

4. Support a cause. This is related to #1. If you see that having money enables you to make a positive impact, this reinforces your own wealth mentality. Helping others wards off greed.

5. Get support. Share your ideas and establish accountability with like-minded people; it doesn't have to be a large group. Even two people in agreement is far more powerful than going solo. Be with people who nurture you and limit your time with negative thinkers.

6. Be grateful for what you do have, which is a lot. If you're reading this blog, you're already ahead in the game. How powerful is an attitude of gratitude!

7. Do what you love. According to Joe Vitale's research, the most successful people always follow their passion. If you're in a work situation that pays well, but you think it's not really you, think about the positive aspects of your job. You can see it as a way to pay the bills and enable you to do other things you love, or you can cut loose. Don't be in a rut.

Taking a close look at people you truly admire and you will probably see evidence of these suggestions in their lives. And, if you aim for the moon and only hit a star, it's not a bad outcome.
