In
part two of this article series, we'll look at some more of secrets
of wealth. These secrets have been developed from observing the
success of others and finding what works and what doesn't. Although
people succeed at many different things in life due to their own
personal values and passions, there is something at the core of
success that is the same for everyone. These core attitudes and
techniques are key to attaining the wealth and happiness you desire.
The next secret is to "burn your ships." There is an old legend
about a Greek general who was taking his army to invade another country. After
the large army departed their ships after landing, he ordered that the ships be
burnt. He left them no other choice but to stay and WIN! Retreat was not an option.
Are you leaving yourself any ships or "outs" in your path to wealth
and success? What would happen if you left no room for failure?
One
of the most important, yet most counterintuitive parts of success is to give
parts of your wealth away. To magnetize money to yourself, you have to be
giving and unselfish. Money does not automatically come to the miserly.
Be
clear about what you want to do with your money. If you had money, how would
you help others? What causes would you donate to? What social problems would you
love to help solve with a significant donation to a related charity?
It's important
to make the world a better and richer place in order to continue to build wealth.
Instead of just thinking about yourself, visualize how your wealth will help
others. How will your wealth impact the lives of others?
