With 2009 just around the corner, there are three powerful tips I'd like to share with you that'll not only make 2009 your best year ever, but will lay the essential groundwork for abundance and prosperity beyond your wildest dreams for you and your loved ones in the years to come.
Here they are:
Powerful Tip #1 - Get your health in order.
In his book "The Art of Money Getting or Golden Rules for Making Money", the infamous P.T. Barnum wrote:
"The foundation of success in life is good health: that is the substratum fortune; it is also the basis of happiness. A person cannot accumulate a fortune very well when he is sick. He has no ambition; no incentive; no force. Of course, there are those who have bad health and cannot help it: you cannot expect that such persons can accumulate wealth, but there are a great many in poor health who need not be so."
How true...
Good health *is* the very foundation upon which wealth is built.
As a matter of fact...
As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it in his book "The Conduct of Life":
"The first wealth is health."
Because, as he went on to explain:
"Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve any one: it must husband its resources to live. But health or fulness answers its own ends and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men's necessities."
Hmmm...
Just about says it all, doesn't it? :-)
The bottom line is...
Just as it'd be far easier for you to build a house when you're healthy than when you're not...
Wealth, success, happiness, and love are a whole heck of a lot easier to "build" when you're healthy than when you're not.
It's that simple. :-)
Powerful Tip #2 - Decide what you want to be when you grow up.
Let me ask you...
When you think of Bill Gates, what do you think of?
Software, right?
When you think of Warren Buffet, what do you think of?
Investments, right?
When you think of Michael Dell, what do you think of?
Computers, right?
When you think of Donald Trump, what do you think of?
Real estate, right?
When you think of Sam Walton, what do you think of?
Discount stores, right?
When you think of J. K. Rowling, what do you think of?
Books, right?
When you think of Ray Kroc, what do you think of?
Fast food, right?
When you think of Wayne Huizenga, what do you think of?
Garbage, right?
When you think of Oprah Winfrey, what do you think of?
Television, right?
When you think of Tiger Woods, what do you think of?
Golf, right?
Now...
Think about it...
Besides having "a lot" of money, by most anyone's standards, what do *all* these "rich" folks have in common?
The answer?
Simple...
They all made their "money", at least initially, just as all great fortunes have been made, in *ONE* business or profession, *NOT* ten different businesses or professions, *ONE* business or profession.
In other words...
They got rich by deciding what they wanted to be when they grew up, choosing the *ONE* business or profession they wanted to be in, and then they focused on that *ONE* business or profession until they "made it".
Therefore...
If "riches" and "wealth" are what *you* want...
That's *exactly* what you must do as well!
Decide what it is you want to be when you grow up...
Choose the *ONE* business or profession you want to be in...
Then focus *exclusively* on that *ONE* business or profession until you "make it"!
Powerful Tip #3 - Spend more high-quality time with your loved ones NOW!
I can't even begin to tell you how many people have emailed me, over the last several years, telling me they wanted $1,000,000 so they can spend more time with their loved ones, more often than not their children.
Yep...
I can see it now...
There they are in one room, beating their head against their computer monitor trying to figure out how to make $1,000,000 on the Internet, while their son or daughter quietly sits in another room wondering why mommy or daddy won't play with them.
Ridiculous?
Sure is.
Farfetched?
Not in the least.
As a matter of fact...
Sadly...
That's *exactly* how the vast majority of people spend their entire lives...
Don't you be one of them!
Here's the deal...
You don't need $1,000,000 to spend more time with your loved ones.
As a matter of fact...
You don't need any money at all to spend more time with them!
All you need is to make the commitment and the time to do so.
With that thought in mind...
I wish you and your loved ones the absolute best of holiday seasons and a wealthy, healthy, successful, and happy New Year!
