The Wealthy’s “Secret” Knowledge

by James Noyes

While wealth creation and reduction of debt has eluded many individuals, there are still many others who have mastered the skills of manifesting money and creating fast wealth.

Are these wealthy individuals any different than anyone else? Research into the minds and everyday practices of the wealthy indicate that while their potential to create massive wealth is no greater than the average person, these wealthy individuals have learned to apply time-honored methods of wealth creation - and have benefited greatly from these learned skills.

Some important skills of the wealthy include the following:

Ability to transform debt into wealth.
Ability to create wealth by recognizing opportunities to serve multiple people.
Ability to transform multiple residual streams of income into passive income streams.
Ability to build wealth by recognizing and utilizing established systems to achieve goals of wealth creation in the shortest time possible.
Ability to truly see themselves as wealth creators and worthy of being wealthy.

One very important skill of the wealthy is their ability of transforming debt into wealth .

Many people feel that debt is bad, and in many cases that is definitely true. The wealthy look at debt in a different way. The wealthy classify debt as either good debt or bad debt.

Good debt is debt that is created to help build an asset that will supply a steady stream of residual income. These assets can take the form of businesses, real estate, paper investments, inventions, books, or any other means that the mind can conceive to create residual streams of income.

Bad debt on the other hand, is debt created that actually takes money out of our pocket on an ongoing basis. It’s obvious that most of us desire nice things - and why not! Life is precious and should be lived to the fullest. The majority of the wealthy feel the same way, and in fact have many luxury items in their possession.

The big difference between the wealthy and the majority of the population, is that the wealthy purchase their fancy cars, homes, etc. by first creating an asset that will supply the income needed to buy these luxury possessions.

The wealthy create most of their assets by seeing opportunities to serve others - and also by recognizing the potential of an asset .

The ability to creatively envision solutions to problems and to actively implement plans to create an asset that will serve others is a vital skill of the wealthy. The natural outcome of creating such an asset, is that this asset will become very valuable to both those it serves - and thus in turn to those who create the asset.

Learning how to use your innate creative potential is vital in your quest for Financial Freedom. The better you are at of providing creative solutions to people’s problems, the more opportunities become available for creating a valuable income generating asset. You can learn more about developing your creativity by going to the following link: http://www.abundantlifeplan.com/developingthecreativemind.htm

Another asset creating skill the wealthy possess is their ability to recognize the potential of an asset long before most others are able to see the “diamond in the rough”.

The wealthy develop these potential assets through both specific knowledge - and through investments of time and resources. Many of the wealthy hold a majority of their passive income generating assets in either businesses, real estate and/or paper assets.

These wealthy individuals have learned how to recognize under performing real estate and possible business ventures, and through acquired knowledge, have been able to implement the necessary changes to make an under performing asset into a very valuable asset that creates a steady stream of income.

The Wealthy aquire their wealth by using knowledge of assets to create something of value that can be used my multiple people…You Can Too!

In a nutshell, wealthy individuals use good debt and their own innate creative abilities to create and build valuable assets that can be used by multiple people.

First, it’s important to remember that these two skill sets just discussed the are vital in the creation of wealth. To truly become Financially Free, it is very important that we truly learn the difference between “Good” debt and “Bad” debt, and how to tap into our own powerful creative powers to use good debt for the creation of assets that can serve multiple people.

Second, it’s also very important that we all realize that their really is no special “Secret” Knowledge the Wealthy possess that can’t be learned by anyone able to read and understand this article today. Just like any skill set, wealth building can be learned by anyone willing to take the time to aquire the necessary knowledge.

So, please start today (if you haven’t already) on your own personal quest for developing a valuable asset that can benefit multiple people. The world is waiting for your own personal creativity to come forth and birth the next great thing that can benefit us all!

The Wealthy’s “Secret” Knowledge : Part2

by James Noyes

As stated in part one of The Wealthy’s “Secret” Knowledge, the Wealthy are really no different than anyone else when it comes to building wealth (and keeping it). The only real difference between Wealthy individuals and those who are not, is that the Wealthy acquired the necessary knowledge and skill sets needed to build wealth and keep it.

The Wealthy have acquired the:

Ability to transform debt into wealth.
Ability to create wealth by recognizing opportunities to serve multiple people.
Ability to transform multiple residual streams of income into passive income streams.
Ability to build wealth by recognizing and utilizing established systems to achieve goals of wealth creation in the shortest time possible.
Ability to truly see themselves as wealth creators and worthy of being wealthy.

In part one we went into the first two skill sets of the five just mentioned – now lets take a closer look at the remaining three skill sets the Wealthy use to obtain their wealth.

The Wealthy have developed the knowledge and skills necessary to create multiple streams of passive income

One of the fastest ways to develop wealth is to acquire the skills of creating multiple assets that will in turn generate multiple streams of passive income. Most wealthy individuals use this technique to leverage their time and create sources of income that are relatively easy to manage once the asset has been developed.

People who are paid through a salary or hourly wage create what is termed earned income. Wealth building through earned income can be very limiting due the time/work leverage factor. Even highly paid professionals are limited in their earning capacity due to the amount of time available to work each day.

One other advantage of creating passive income is the huge tax savings that can be created by developing income in this manner. With earned income, taxes are generally taken out before the paycheck is received - and the amount taken out is generally determined by the government.

The wealthy, on the other hand, use government sanctioned tax sheltered vehicles to achieve passive income with very small or sometimes no tax consequences.

Two important vehicles of the wealthy use to achieve low/no tax passive income is through incorporating businesses, and through investing. These topics are covered in more detail at The Abundant LifePlan™ website.

Through the use of established systems (and those they create), the Wealthy find ways to work more efficiently – allowing more time to develop other assets - and to enjoy the “fruits of their labors”

The wealthy place a very high value on their time, and therefore are always looking for ways to leverage their time and still find ways to increase their income levels. In essence, the wealthy learn how to “work smarter not harder”. The wealthy continually increase their earning potential by creating more assets and/or incorporating established systems to help make their assets more valuable.

As stated earlier, the wealthy increase the value of their assets by incorporating established systems to operate their businesses or investments more efficiently and therefore more profitably. The wealthy also recognize the advantage of joint ventures and networking and many times use these two methods to expand their market and make their asset more valuable.

Once again, the wealthy place a very high value on their time, and therefore are constantly looking for more efficient ways to run their businesses and get the greatest returns on investments.

Through the development of a “Wealthy Mindset”, the Wealthy have greatly enhanced their ability to build wealth and keep it.

Along with acquiring the very important skills just mentioned, a large reason individuals become wealthy is because they have developed a different mindset than the average person.

Those who have developed this “Wealthy Mindset” realize that there is an abundance of wealth available, and developing wealth is really only a matter of finding opportunities to serve others…then learning the skills necessary to carry out their visions.

The truly wealthy have long realized that your wealth is developed in the mind first through vision, and only after thoroughly visualizing what they wish to accomplish, do the wealthy begin to apply the actions necessary to accomplish their goals.

Those who develop this “Wealthy Mindset” also feel that they deserve to be wealthy.The wealthy in fact, feel that everyone deserves to be wealthy, and that everyone has the potential to achieve enormous wealth as well.

While this assumption that everyone has potential to become wealthy would on the surface to appear obvious, the reality is that many do not truly feel this way inside. A lot of people truly feel inside that individuals who obtain wealth have special gifts and talents.

The truth is that everyone has special gifts and talents that can be used to create wealth, and the only real difference between a majority of the population and the wealthy is that the wealthy have developed a “Wealthy Mindset” - and used their available time to develop the knowledge necessary to acquire and build assets.

We all have the capacity to become Financially Free!

As stated earlier, while most people find it difficult to reduce their debt and acquire wealth, there are individuals who have discovered the “Secrets of Wealth Building”.

Are these Wealth Building “Secrets” available to everyone? Absolutely!

By now, it should be obvious that there really are no “Secrets” to building wealth. True wealth is obtainable by anyone willing to work on changing their thoughts on wealth, and through the study of wealth building fundamentals and techniques such as those just discussed in parts 1 & 2 of The Wealthy’s “Secret” Knowledge series.

As stated in the first part of this Wealth Building series, the world is truly waiting for your own personal contribution…and the asset(s) you build could definitely make you wealthy!

Vital Steps for Discovering Your Purpose…and Achieving All Your Life Goals

by James Noyes

What is my purpose in this lifetime? How do I achieve all of my desires in life?

Two very important questions for anyone seeking more satisfaction and abundance in life.

Fame, success, and monetary gains can all be rewarding, but until we truly discover our purpose in life, there will always seem to be something missing.

Once we begin to discover our purpose and start to work towards achieving our purpose and goals, then life truly becomes an adventure of constant new discoveries and personal growth. In many ways, it is the journey into personal development and discovery of our spirituality that make achieving our purpose more satisfying in the end.

During this journey of discovering our purpose and working towards its achievement, we will encounter many tools and ways of thought that will assist us along the way. Some of these valuable tools and techniques include:

Discovering and achieving our purpose is best accomplished by carefully considering our goals…and putting together a plan for attaining these goals.
True success is the result of positive thoughts concerning our goals…and learning how to minimize our negative thoughts.
Learning how to develop our creative abilities is vital in the journey towards achieving our purpose…and is probably one of the sole reasons for our existence.
Learning how to use our imagination and dreams to help create the reality we desire is very important for achievement of our purpose in life.
Much wisdom and success in today’s world can be obtained by studying many of the ancient philosophies and success methods of great achievers of the past.
Acquiring the ability to look inside ourselves through some form of personal meditation is vital for both discovering our purpose and accomplishing our goals.

Planning for the successful accomplishment of our goals is a vital first step in achieving any purpose we desire.

While the planning methods used by each individual may vary, research indicates that those who incorporate some type of formal plan are generally more successful at achieving their goals.

At a minimum, adequate time should be allowed for each individual to fully contemplate their goals and desires…and start to formulate a plan in their minds for achieving these goals and desires. Because most of us have so much going on in our daily lives, it is also very important that our goals be written down so they can be referred to often..to keep them fresh in our minds.

While writing down our goals on a simple piece of paper is all that is really necessary, there are also many other resources available for developing and implementing our goals…It really comes down to personal preference.

While goal setting is a vital component in taking the actions to achieving our purpose in life, we should also allow our goals to be flexible enough to change as we develop and learn throughout our lifetime.

As we pursue our life’s purpose, there will be both times of ups and downs. For successful achievement of our goals, it is very important that we learn to develop positive thought patterns for a majority of the time.

As we journey towards our goals, obstacles will appear from time to time to hinder our efforts towards achieving our goals. If we allow ourselves to develop negative thoughts, these obstacles can cause our forward momentum to come to a halt.

While no one likes problems, it is very important that we continue to try and develop a positive attitude so that these “problems” become just minor challenges to overcome rather than insurmountable obstacles to achieving our life’s purpose.

As we continue to develop more and more positive thought habits, it actually becomes easier to take on life’s challenges when they crop up. In truth, much of our reality is shaped by our thoughts…so creating a positive reality is really about creating positive thought patterns.

As we pursue our life’s purpose, there will be many opportunities to overcome challenges and devise new ways of solving problems for both ourselves and others. Therefore, it becomes vital that we learn how to develop our creativity.

In truth, it can be argued that using our creativity is one of the main reasons for our existence. Advancements in society have always been the result of individuals who have looked beyond the accepted norm of the time and searched for creative ways to do something better.

Many individuals feel that “true creativity” is only achievable by a select few, but the reality is that we all possess incredible amounts of creativity when our minds are focused on obtaining a specific goal. While some individuals are what might be considered “naturally creative”, true creativity is available for anyone willing to develop it.

In our quest to become more creative, there are actually many techniques and methods to help us retrain our conscious and unconscious minds for optimum creative development…which can help us reach our goals that much faster. Research has also shown that we can even tap into valuable information beyond even ourselves through what has been called our superconscious minds.

Due to the fact that we all possess a powerful inner creativity, time should definitely be devoted to learning how to develop a more creative mind as we pursue our life’s purpose and goals.

Purpose is necessary for a life that is truly “on fire” and full of abundance and wonder

Once again, to truly achieve a life full of abundance and wonder, it is imperative that we take the necessary steps needed to discover what our true purpose in life is. It can be argued that until we truly discover our life’s purpose, we are only partially living our lives.

When we are actively pursuing our life’s goals and purpose, each day becomes an adventure full of meaning. Instead of dreading another day of drudgery, we will look forward to each day…and how each step in our pursuits will bring us a little closer to our life’s purpose and desires.

More Vital Steps for Discovering Your Purpose…and Achieving All Your Life Goals

by James Noyes

What is my purpose in this lifetime? How do I achieve all of my desires in life?

Once again, two very important questions for anyone seeking an Abundant Life full of purpose, wonder, and contentment.

To truly feel a zest for life, it is imperative that we find our purpose…and develop life goals that we can strive for. It is this author’s belief…that until we discover our true purpose(s) in life, we are really only existing… and basically only partially living the incredible lives each of us were destined for.

With those thoughts in mind, lets quickly review some simple steps that can be used to enhance our journey towards a more Abundant Life full of purpose, wonder, and an overall satisfaction with our life’s path.

Discovering and achieving our purpose is best accomplished by carefully considering our goals…and putting together a plan for attaining these goals.
True success is the result of positive thoughts concerning our goals…and learning how to minimize our negative thoughts.
Learning how to develop our creative abilities is vital in the journey towards achieving our purpose…and is probably one of the sole reasons for our existence.
Learning how to use our imagination and dreams to help create the reality we desire is very important for achievement of our purpose in life.
Much wisdom and success in today’s world can be obtained by studying many of the ancient philosophies and success methods of great achievers of the past.
Acquiring the ability to look inside ourselves through some form of personal meditation is vital for both discovering our purpose and accomplishing our goals.

In the first part of the Discovering Your Purpose series we talked about the first three of six tools and techniques you can use to help discover and implement your purpose and life goals. Now lets look at the last three of these vital skills that will help you on your journey.

Our ability to creatively use our imaginations can be the difference between just “going with the flow” or truly creating something extraordinary. Through the intelligent use of our imaginations and dreams, entirely new ways of thinking can be explored as we pursue our life’s purpose.

The use of visualization and affirmation techniques are very important tools that can be used to make our goals more vibrant and real…and thereby more achievable.

When we truly learn how to visualize our goals using all of our available senses, we unlock extremely powerful forces for change…both within and without.

Using the valuable techniques associated with visualizations and affirmations is an excellent way to utilize our subconscious and superconscious minds to accelerate the achievement of our life’s purpose and goals.

While both visualization and affirmation techniques are excellent ways to make our goals more “real” and obtainable, another valuable tool for self exploration and creativity development is a technique called Lucid Dreaming.

Basically, Lucid Dreaming is a valuable way to use the power and insight of our dreams to help us further discover our purpose and what is really valuable to us. Lucid Dreaming actually allows us to have more control over our dream state consciousness…thereby enabling us to direct our dreams to provide the answers we are looking for.

Tapping into the minds of wisdom seekers who have come before us can be a very powerful method for helping us achieve our life goals.

Any study of personal achievement and self-development will in due time soon reveal that we humans have been searching for the same answers at least as long as recorded time.

While each new generation of truth and wisdom seekers feel they have tapped into some new knowledge, the truth is most of what we consider “new” knowledge is really only ancient ideas packaged in new ways.

There is a tremendous amount of very valuable information that has been taught through the ages, and a thorough study of this timeless wisdom is essential for our personal growth and for the pursuit of our life’s purpose.

In truth, human nature and what it takes to be successful in our pursuits have not really changed throughout time. Many before us have been through most of the same trials that “plague” individuals in today’s society…and while technologies may advance, the formula for success has essentially remained the same.

Using the power of meditation to relax our minds and look within can be an excellent tool for truly contemplating our purpose and goals.

As our world becomes more and more complex…and daily living becomes increasingly hectic, it is becomes even more important then ever to look within for answers to life’s questions and for ways to achieve our hearts desires.

Ancient masters have used meditation to help explore their inner selves for eons, and meditation continues to be a vital component in our pursuit of the important goals we wish to achieve.

Action towards our goals is absolutely a vital component for achievement of purpose, but it is even more important to take the necessary time to truly contemplate what we wish to accomplish before starting the action steps. If we truly examine our failures in life, we will soon discover that most of our failures were the result of wrong actions or actions performed too soon.

Taking the necessary time to meditate and truly explore our inner selves cannot be overemphasized…and the benefits to our self-growth and personal time are immeasurable.

If you haven’t already explored the benefits of regular meditation and how technology has made it even easier to meditate like a seasoned practitioner, now is an excellent time to start a regular meditation routine, and start to reap the enormous benefits associated with it.

Through the use of various techniques and tools of the mind and beyond, it is quite possible the make our dreams reality…while at the same time…becoming totally engaged in the pursuit of our goals

Being “lost” in the pursuit of our true life’s purpose is definitely the most worthwhile use of our limited lifetime. Being “lost in the moment” has to be one of the most satisfying experiences for anyone. We have all experienced this feeling at one time or another, time appeared to stand still, and it was during these special times when we felt most alive.

Can these “special moments in time” be a normal occurrence? Absolutely!

Through discovery of our true life’s purpose…and through developing ourselves in the many areas discussed, we can create a truly blessed life where the journey is just as satisfying as the final destination.

Vital Nutrients for Optimum Health and Longevity

by James Noyes

As most of us have heard before, maintaining a properly balanced diet of proteins, complex carbohydrates, and essential fats is vital for good health. With the right mix of foods, we can help insure our bodies receive most of the vital nutrients needed for optimum health.

Due to various circumstances, it may be useful to supplement your diet with some key natural herbs and vitamins to help boost your immune system…and create the vitality and longevity you desire.

Unfortunately, many of the foods available in today’s world are preprocessed…and even many of the fresh grown fruits and vegetables are lacking in essential micronutrients necessary for good health. Mass production methods for growing fruits, vegetables, and even livestock have created nutrient deficiencies…and even deadly toxins in many of the foods we now consume. Therefore, it becomes even more important than ever that we supplement our diets with natural herbs and vitamins to help rid the body of toxins and boost its natural supply of micronutrients.

While growing and raising much of our own food would be one of the best methods for ensuring we eat the healthiest foods possible, it’s just not practical for most of us in today’s society. Fortunately, there are organically grown foods available (which I recommend you consume as much as possible)…but many of these foods can be expensive, and there’s no guarantee that these foods will still have all the vital nutrients our bodies need.

Along with concerns about how our foods are produced, it is also important to note that even normal metabolic and immune system functions within our bodies can produce deadly free radicals that over time can wreck havoc on our body’s cells…creating life-threatening disease, and conditions that can severely impact our health and longevity.

Fortunately, there are natural antioxidant substances available that can boost our immune systems and neutralize many of the cell destroying free radicals…thereby helping to slow the aging process.

One of the best micronutrients available for improving glucose control and eliminating free radicals is the valuable substance called Alpha Lipoic Acid. This important vitamin-like nutrient is available naturally in many foods such as spinach, broccoli, and beef…and even small amounts are produced in the body itself.

One of the main functions of Alpha Lipoic Acid is to help the body burn glucose…which helps improve insulin sensitivity and lower free radicals within the body. As with most supplements, the natural version is much more potent than the synthetic version…so supplementing with natural Alpha Lipoic Acid should always be your first choice.

Next in the antioxidant arsenal is Vitamin E. This powerful vitamin is the body’s main fat-soluble antioxidant… and it is an excellent source for destroying free radicals in the body’s fatty structures.

Due to it’s excellent antioxidant properties, Vitamin E has been linked to the prevention of many devastating diseases such as Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Cancer. For best results, this powerful supplement should always be taken in its natural form with some variation of “d-alpha-tocopherol” in the label.

Along with the other two powerful micronutrients just discussed, Vitamin C is another very important nutrient for the elimination of free radicals and glucose control. In addition to it’s powerful antioxidant functions, Vitamin C is also vital for boosting the body’s immune system functions for battling against unwanted bacteria, viruses, and infections.

Through the informed use of these vital nutrients (and others not discussed here), you can build a strong immune system…and achieve the health, vitality, and longevity you desire and deserve.

Natural remedies and supplements have been developed and used for thousands of years…and even today’s modern practitioner of alternative medicine use time-honored knowledge to develop natural alternative remedies that can help you body fight against…and in some cases, actually cure life-stealing diseases and vitality draining symptoms.

Along with the very powerful nutrients just talked about, there are an enormous amount of very potent natural herbs, minerals, vitamins, and mixtures created to help the body fight and strengthen against the deadly toxins and conditions that can adversely effect your health and vitality. Due to the importance of this topic, I encourage you to explore this vital subject further.

Benefits of Maintaining a Diet Rich in Raw Food

by James Noyes

Constipation, bloating, lethargy, depression, and unnecessary weight gains are just some of the results of consuming what is considered a “normal” diet in the modern world today. Many experts also feel that the current diets maintained by many people today is in fact a major contributor to the many diseases encountered in much of the modern world. Perhaps our long held traditions of cooking most of what we eat are not the best way to go.

In fact, many individuals today are re-discovering the ancient benefits associated with consuming raw foods. More and more people are beginning to realize that many of the preprocessed foods found in today’s society don’t provide nearly enough to maintain the healthy mind and body they desire. These same individuals are actually looking back to what our ancient ancestors, and even to what some of the so-called “primitive cultures” of today are eating…to re-discover the benefits of consuming a diet rich in natural raw foods.

At this point, there are probably many of you reading this who are saying “but what about the taste factor…and can we really digest uncooked food properly?” With those questions (and others) in mind, lets take a look at both the myths and benefits associated with a raw food diet.

A raw food diet can, in most cases, provide many more nutrients that the body needs for optimum health…than a diet consisting mainly of cooked foods.

That fact that most raw foods are packed with far more nutrients than their cooked counterparts is one of the biggest reasons people choose to pursue a diet rich in natural raw foods. As most of us already know, the more essential nutrients we can get through our foods…the better we will generally feel.

Our body’s cells thrive with proper nutrient intake…that in turn, boost our immune systems, and increases our vitality and longevity.

Unfortunately, when most foods are cooked above 105 degrees Fahrenheit…they start to lose some of these vital nutrients necessary for cell regeneration and optimum health. Even more disturbing…is the fact that some of these foods will become more toxic to the body after they have been cooked than when they were in their raw forms.

Through proper knowledge, natural changes in food cravings, and the abundance of recipes available to the raw food advocate, raw foods can be just as tasty (or even better tasting) than cooked foods

One big complaint about raw food is the taste factor. Many feel that raw food is just not as appetizing as cooked food. While relatively speaking, there may definitely be some taste difference at first…is it really right to subject our bodies to an endless supply of excessive fats, salt, and other nutrient deficient foods and substances passed off as food (junk food) just to satisfy our currently “warped” taste buds.

As most of us have experienced in the past, when we actually begin to change to a more healthy diet…our cravings for unhealthy foods diminish also. This is also true for a diet consisting of mostly raw foods. As we consume more and more raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and other sources of raw foods…our bodies actually begin to crave these nutrient rich foods.

On top of the obvious health benefits of consuming a diet rich in raw foods, there are now many wonderful recipes available that can truly bring out the tasty natural flavors in most foods. Due to the growing popularity of raw food diets in today’s society there are now a vast array of tantalizing recipes out there that can help provide a great blend of the natural flavors associated with these raw foods…and create truly great dining experiences.

Many times, heating foods can destroy vital enzymes necessary for proper digestion

Another concern with eating a diet consisting mostly of raw foods is that it will be harder for our bodies to digest the food than it’s cooked version. In truth, when we cook foods above 105 degrees Fahrenheit…we not only cook away vital nutrients, but also destroy the enzymes necessary for proper digestion.

The valuable enzymes not only assist with digestion, but they also help with the absorption of food. Without these necessary enzymes, we tend to feel bloated, constipated, and lethargic…and lack of proper digestion actually causes us to eat more, which in turn creates weight gains.

While eating a diet consisting of just raw foods may be too intense for many, the benefits of a diet high in natural raw foods may be just what’s needed to regain a more healthy body full of vitality with just the right balance for increased longevity

Many proponents of the raw food diet feel that there is an increased “life force” associated with raw food than what can be found in cooked foods. Many people actually feel that this important life force can be cooked out of many foods…robbing us of the vital energy necessary for healthy lifestyle.

So is it necessary to totally deprive ourselves of eating less nutrient rich foods? (cooked or otherwise)

Personally, I feel there is still a place for these less nutritious foods…but as we pursue a more healthy diet consisting of a rich blend of natural raw foods, our cravings for these other inferior types of foods will become less and less.

While we have discussed some of the most important points associated with maintaining a diet high in raw foods, I encourage you to truly explore this valuable subject further…and maybe you will find that increasing your raw food intake will help provide the healthy mind, body, and soul we all seek to have.

Vital Skill Required for Financial Success

by James Noyes

As discussed in The Wealthy’s “Secret” Knowledge series of articles, true wealth building is really only the result of applying some fundamental wealth building knowledge and skill sets in your life…and then taking the necessary actions to achieve financial stability and even Financial Freedom.

One of the skill sets discussed in The Wealthy’s “Secret” Knowledge series was the concept of asset development for building wealth. From all of my own personal research into wealth building principles, I personally feel that the skill of asset development is probably one of the most important (if not the most important) skill we can learn…as we work towards achieving Financial Success.

So just what is an asset?

The basic definition of an asset is…something that is created that will provide a steady stream of residual income…that in essence, will not require lots of personal time to maintain once the it has been developed.

Some people confuse an asset with their personal possessions. Many individuals believe that items such as personal homes and cars qualify as assets…but in reality, these personal possessions still take money out of the owner’s pocket every month…even if they are completely paid for!

Assets can take many forms. From businesses, paper investments, real estate investments, royalty’s from inventions, software, music, and books…to virtually anything the mind can conceive that might be of value to someone else.

Creativity is a vital element in asset development

One of the most important aspects of asset development is the ability to use our minds in a creative manner…that will allow us to come up with a creative solution to a specific problem or need.

As stated earlier, our minds are probably one of our most important tools for creating something of value. Most of the world’s greatest inventions and contributions have been the result of creative thought from one or more individuals.

In truth, the better you are at creatively solving problems…the more opportunities you’ll have for creating wealth and financial success. You can learn more about developing your creativity by exploring the subject at: http://www.abundantlifeplan.com/developingcreativemind.htm

Try to develop assets that match you natural talents…for optimum success

As stated earlier, assets can take many forms…it really comes down to applying your own innate talents to develop something that others will want to use. (and are willing to pay for its value)

Ideally, if you can create an asset using your own natural talents…the whole asset development process will not even feel like work. Imagine achieving financial independence…without it even feeling like work!

While utilizing our “natural” talents is not an absolute requirement in asset development, it will definitely make the process a whole lot easier. Many individuals have in fact built great wealth using the skills and labors of others, but even these individuals used their “natural” talents for organizing resources to achieve financial success.

Even though the asset development process should ideally be “fun work”…it’s still very important to remember that there is “work” involved in the process

It’s important to note that a “get rich quick” mentality will not help when trying to develop an asset. In fact, most asset development requires a lot of up-front work and action…before any kind of profit will be seen.

Whatever it is you are trying to develop…it will most likely result in a lot of time and effort devoted to something with basically no initial financial return. Most new business ventures work this way…including most other forms of asset development. There is no “free ride”…so to speak.

In truth, if the asset you’re developing is a good match for your talents…you will find the process is just as rewarding as the final financial benefits that will result from your efforts.

The world is waiting for your special contribution…and ready to reward you for it too!

Fortunately, if you do learn the valuable knowledge and skills associated with asset development …you can become a virtual “money making machine” with endless financial possibilities. As I stated at the beginning, I truly feel that learning how to build assets is probably one of the most important wealth building skills you can develop. (if not the most important)

So get out there and develop the next great thing! The world is waiting for your own important contribution…and is more than willing to pay you for the wonderful value it creates!

You Really Do Possess Incredible Creativity and Genius Potential

by James Noyes

Image if you will…a world of true abundance. A world rich in technological advances that makes everyone’s lives easier…allowing each of us more time to truly pursue our own interests and life goals. A world where disease has been eradicated…and everyone enjoys abundant health and wellbeing. A world full of beauty through the properly applied use of our natural resources…and through the many artistic creations that come from the minds of vast amounts of truly inspired individuals who have really learned how to tap into their innate creative abilities.

Just imagine for a moment…the incredible power of vast amounts of people applying their own unique genius towards improving all aspects of this world in which we live. I literally shutter inside when I think about the incredible positive transformation our world could experience…if multitudes of people started to truly use their natural creative talents to help solve some of the big issues that a much of the world population faces each day. Problems such as hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, and general poverty could be basically eliminated within 5 to 10 years!

Wow! - What an incredible thought huh? Just thinking about what could be…continues to inspire and propel me to develop my own creative talents.

Many feel that true creativity and genius has only been granted to a special few. Fortunately for all of us…that’s just not true

While history does in fact glorify the incredible accomplishments of noted creative geniuses such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Ludwig van Beethoven (and rightly so)…there have also been countless other individuals from the past who have contributed greatly to the betterment of humanity through their creative efforts that may not be quite as well known.

Even today, there are individuals around the globe who use their innate creative talents to develop incredible breakthroughs in science, technology, genetics, medicine, arts, and a host of other disciplines that have had profound positive impacts to all our lives.

Are all these “creative geniuses” just naturally possessed with special knowledge and skills that the rest of us “mere mortals” could never possibly hope to obtain? Much evidence seems to in fact suggest…that we are all capable of incredible feats of creativity and inventive genius. We may have only just forgotten how to tap into our own natural creative talents and skills.

Perhaps the only thing that separates us from the rest of those “creative geniuses” out there is our own lack of knowledge concerning the development of our innate creative abilities and genius potentials. With this thought in mind, it becomes vital that we truly learn how to develop our creative minds and genius potential.

Not only is true creative ability available to anyone who is willing to develop it, but due to it’s importance to our inner spiritual essence…learning how to manifest our innate creative talents is probably one of the most important skills we can develop as individuals!

It could even be argued…that we come closest to God and our inner spiritual essence when we are actively expanding our minds with creative thoughts and experiences

Many teachings and religions today say we are all creations of God…and were in fact, created in God’s image. These same teachings and religions also state that God is the Supreme Creator, who’s immeasurable creative abilities were responsible for the design of stars, planets, and everything thing else both physical and non-physical. With all of this said…it’s not a large stretch to assume that each one of us also possess the ability to create.

Many creative individuals often report going into another state of mind…as they actively pursue their innate creative talents and genius potentials. Many of history’s most celebrated geniuses have reported these same special moments in time…as they have birthed a new thought or invention that ended up having a profound impact on the world.

Perhaps many of us enter a different mindset during these creative times because we are in fact…entering a primordial part of ourselves that has been there all along. During these times of active creative pursuits…we can truly connect to our inner spiritual essence because we are engaged in activities that could have profound effects for everyone around us…and connectedness with everyone is where our inner essence (or souls) reside.

Now is the time to truly tap into your own creative talents and genius potentials. The world desperately needs your valuable thoughts, inventions, and other manifestations of an active and creative mind

With all that has been discussed…it is vital that each of realize just how creative and intelligent we all truly are. In reality, at our core…we are all incredibly creative beings forever yearning to explore new thoughts, experiences, and ideas for new and better ways of doing things and exploring the world and universe we are all a part of.

We really could create the world of abundance mentioned above…but it will take the combined creative abilities of everyone to truly make it happen. Each one of us possess special gifts, talents, and thoughts…that could have incredible effects on science, technology, medicine, arts, and a multitude of other areas of life that can have wonderful benefits for us all.

Now truly is the time to rediscover your own “hidden” creative abilities and genius potentials. The world is waiting for your own special contributions…regardless how big or small they may be!

Discover the Power of Multiple Streams of Income

by James Noyes

Throughout history we have seen economies go up and down. Even today…we are experiencing a major downturn in the economies throughout the world. When the world’s financial condition worsens, it has a negative impact for most of us on an individual basis also. The average wage earner and small business owner starts to feel the pinch…with layoffs and lower buying power and sales.

So what should we do to help hedge against an unstable economy?

One excellent tool the Wealthy have used to shield themselves from the down swings in the economy is the powerful concept of developing Multiple Streams of Income. Individuals who have learned this valuable concept…realize that even if one part of the economy is soft, there are still other avenues available for generating income.

Whether through building multiple businesses, creating something that generates royalties, or through various investment vehicles such as real estate or stocks…many of the Wealthy have built multiple assets that bring in a steady stream of income. These forward thinking individuals have truly learned how to hedge against weak economic times…and prosper enormously during the good times.

As we examine this powerful concept of creating Multiple Streams of Income, we start to realize that perhaps generating our financial resources through one income stream may not be the best plan. Many try to overcome the problems associated with a down economy by working multiple jobs…but perhaps there is a better way. (and easier!)

Using the power of Multiple Income Streams to both overcome a weak economy and help provide more free time to pursue all of life’s other desires

Learning how to generate income through the development of multiple assets is the best way to overcome a weak financial situation…and insure yourself a steady stream of income without the exhaustion associated with trying to work multiple jobs.

Even the highest paid professionals such as doctors and lawyers are limited in just how much income they can generate…and they are just as susceptible to a financial downturn as everyone else when there is a weak economy. The simple truth is that we can all only work so many hours in a day or week regardless of how much money we may make an hour.

On top of the added financial security it brings…having Multiple Streams of Income also allows us more free time once the income streams have been created. Once we have created multiple assets capable of generating the income we need to cover all our normal expenses to live on…we can then work on either building more assets and/or pursuing those other hobbies and passions that are important to us.

As with anything good, there is usually a price to pay…but if we do it right, we can make the whole multiple asset building process rather fun!

With all that has already been said…it’s also very important to realize that some initial extra time will need to be devoted to creating these new income producing assets before we can begin to enjoy the fruits of our labors and creativity. Building a business, writing a book, finding the right investment property, or coming up with the next great invention can all take time to do. (with little or no financial returns generated during the creation process) The simple truth is that if you try to build assets that fit your own interests best…you will find the whole asset building process actually fun!

To truly enjoy the process of developing Multiple Income Streams…it’s very important that we truly discover what activities interest us the most, so we can use our interest and strengths to build those powerful assets without it really feeling like work. While there will always be some aspects of the asset building process that are not as fun as others…engaging in positive actions that are related to our goal of creating Multiple Streams of Income can really be a stimulating experience.

Once our strengths and interest have been determined…it is then time to really gain as much knowledge as possible about the multiple assets we are building

As we begin building Multiple Income Streams, and even if what we are doing is considered somewhat fun to do…it will still require some time and energy to develop the proper knowledge and skill sets necessary to be successful in our pursuits. Success in any endeavor really boils down to creating a vision of what we wish to accomplish, obtaining the knowledge and skill sets necessary to complete the task, and providing the necessary actions required to bring our vision to completion.

With that said…it is very important not to just try and build assets without gaining as much knowledge as possible concerning the asset we desire to create.

Building businesses, writing books, creating music, or inventing new things all require specific knowledge and skills to be successful. Fortunately, there is an enormous amount of valuable information available for basically any type of business venture…or any other asset development projects we might want to pursue.

Stay ahead of any financial downturn with a full arsenal of assets that can provide Multiple Streams of Income…and also provide the free time to pursue all those other dreams and desires you want to achieve in life

Life really is all about living to the fullest and enjoying time with all those you love and wish to spend more time with. Developing a variety of income producing assets is an excellent way to provide the financial resources and time to truly live an Abundant Life full of wonder, excitement, and contentment.

If you truly utilize your own unique strengths and skills during the asset building process…you will find each day and activity a true adventure. You may never “work” again…and still enjoy the fruits of having multiple income producing assets working to provide Financial Freedom even during the tough times.

5 Easy Ways to Enhance Your Creative and Genius Potentials

by James Noyes

Most of us have yearned to be more creative. Perhaps like many, after seeing a new invention or concept come out…You have said to yourself “I thought about making that same thing!” or you said, “I was wondering about that same thing!”

Most of us have also experienced those special moments when we have been battling a problem in our minds…and then we have one of those “ah, ha” thoughts where the right solution just seems to come from nowhere into our minds.

The simple and wonderful truth is that we are all incredibly creative…and the power of genius lies in each one of us

With all that said, it is very important to both ourselves and the rest of the world…that we truly learn how to tap into our innate creative and genius potentials. In truth, there is probably no other activity we could do that brings us closest to our true divine essence.

Due to the importance of developing our natural creative talents, and enhancing our genius potentials…lets examine some concepts on how to do just that. While there are numerous methods and techniques for developing creativity and natural genius, listed below are five important ways to enhance your creativity and genius potentials:

Truly come to realize your own incredible creative powers and potential for genius
Gain as much knowledge about as many subjects as possible
Learn how to develop new perspectives that come from an open mind
Learn how to truly use your imagination and the power of visualizations
Learn how to tap into your superconscious mind through meditation and quiet contemplation

It all begins by accepting the fact we are all creative beings with own genius potential

First and foremost in our quest for more creativity and genius is to truly accept who we really are. We are all parts of the Ultimate Creator…designed to be co-creators of this world we are a part of.

Many may find the previous statement a bold one…but nevertheless, that is who we are. You can’t change what you are. You may choose to ignore what and who you are, but it is still a part of you.

Many argue that the more incredible feats of creativity and genius are only afforded to a few select individuals of the past and present world we are a part of. I would argue that maybe these “natural geniuses” learned how to tap into powers that were always there.

Both Socrates and Plato, a couple of the world’s greatest philosophers…believed that real truth and knowledge was already available to everyone…is all we needed to do was reclaim those truths for ourselves to gain wisdom.

While there is no denying that some individuals come into this world better attuned to their innate creative abilities, it is vital to realize that the rest of us “ordinary” individuals can indeed enhance our own innate creative talents and genius to levels matching and even exceeding those ascribed to those more fortunate “natural geniuses”.

Gaining as much knowledge as possible is a key component in our quest for developing more creativity and genius potential

Creativity in a nutshell, is really about taking information from various disciplines and recombining that information into a new idea about something we wish to create or solve. With that said, it makes sense that we should try to gain as much knowledge as possible about a variety of subjects.

A simple study of some of histories greatest geniuses such as Leonardo da Vinci and Dr. Albert Einstein reveals that these individuals possessed vast knowledge on various subjects, and many of these subjects were not even part of their respective “specialties”.

Along with developing their knowledge bases, renowned geniuses such as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edision, and Leonardo da Vinci also learned to develop techniques that enhanced their innate intelligences and memories…that allowed them to focus on and comprehend a multitude of facts and sensory input.

When we view the world with an open mind…we start to develop new perspectives that can greatly enhance our creativity and genius potentials

Most of us have all heard the term “Learn to think outside the box.” at one time or another. What this simple term means is that sometimes we need to think beyond what is considered “normal” in relation to whatever problem we are facing.

Learning to think outside the box is really about developing a more open mind…and realizing there are many ways to approach and solve a problem or design a new way to do something. When we go into something with an open mind…many times that frees us to develop new perspectives about an idea or concept we’ve been thinking about.

When we learn how to see unexpected relationships in things and make unfamiliar connections…we begin to unlock truly new ideas and concepts that could have profound effects on our ability to create something extraordinary.

With that said…it is also important to note that many of history’s greatest geniuses believed that any new idea or design should be made as simple as possible. Einstein once said “Things should be made as simple as possible, not simpler.”

Use the immense power of imagination and visualization to jumpstart your creative efforts

Along with increasing our knowledge base, intelligence and memory, and looking at the world with an open mind…learning how to utilize the power of our imagination and visualization skills is imperative in our quest for developing a more creative mind.

Having an imaginational spirit is vital for true creativity. Many adults lose the imagination skills they possessed so naturally as children. Learn to daydream again…and enhance those daydreams and imaginational thoughts through the power of visualization.

When we engage true visualization in our creative thoughts, the end results become much clearer. Learn to employ as many senses as possible when daydreaming or contemplating a solution to a problem or design.

Engage and tap into the subconscious and superconscious minds…to acquire vast stores of valuable information that can be used to enhance genius potential and creative talents

As stated earlier, all the wisdom and ultimate truths are already available to us…we just need to learn how to tap into this vast reservoir of valuable information. Because of the source of this immense amount of information available to us…it will usually require us to go beyond our conscious minds to acquire this knowledge.

Meditation and quiet contemplation are both excellent ways to quiet the mind and allow this “new” information to come forth into our conscious minds. When we quiet our minds, we can then tap into our own vast storehouse of knowledge (our subconscious minds)…or we can even tap into what has been called the “Universal Mind” (our superconscious minds)…to bring forth new thoughts and ideas to help solve a problem or create a new design.

Another excellent way to utilize our subconscious and superconscious minds is to use meditation, daydreaming, or quiet contemplation to interpret our dreams. One excellent example of using dream interpretation to help solve a complex problem comes from none other than the great Dr. Albert Einstein himself.

Once while daydreaming, Einstein found himself riding a sunbeam out into the universe…and found that his eternal travel actually brought him right back to where he had started from. From his dream, Einstein intuitively assumed that the universe must be “curved”…which became the basis for his now famous Theory of Relativity.

You really are incredibly creative…with vast genius potential

By now you may be starting to see your own creative talents…and the fact that we all have genius potential in some (or maybe many) disciplines. Hopefully you are beginning to realize your true divine essence, and that through some simple methods, techniques, and ways of thought…you too can develop your full creative and genius potential.

While we have touched a little bit on how to enhance your creativity and genius…there is still a vast amount of information and techniques available for further development in these areas.

With that said…I encourage you to go out and start creating. I think you will be amazed at what you can accomplish and bring forth!
