Plan To Become Wealthy


You are about to change your financial future.

You've thought about change before, but never before have you had the feeling that you're ready for it now.

You recognize that if you don't change now, the odds will begin to turn against you. With each passing hour, day, and week, your chances of changing the direction of your life from one of financial struggling to freedom will diminish.

Take a look around you. Think about your family, friends, and colleagues. They want what you want - higher income, less stress, more fun, and enough money in the bank to quit working so hard and enjoy life.

You and they have the same basic wants, but the chances that they will achieve their dreams are small...and getting smaller every day. That is not true in your case. The difference: You've made a commitment to change.

But committing to change and changing are two different things. Unless you take action now, a year or two will pass by and you'll find yourself thinking, "What happened to that promise I made to myself? Why didn't I do it? How come I'm at the very same place, financially, that I was back then?"

Why It's So Important To Seize The Day

Let me tell you a story...

At an AWAI seminar, the publisher of a natural health newsletter business asked the participants if they wanted a shot at writing a professional promotion. Eight students raised their hands.

This was their big chance. All they had to do was follow up after the conference and they'd be on their way. Their long-held dreams of becoming professional freelance writers would become reality.

Here's what happened, according to the publisher:

"They were all very eager to get started. I expected a rush of emails and packages with everything they had ever written, including grocery lists and letters to their mothers...but...only one person has ever contacted me."

Eight people had this gold-plated opportunity to realize their dreams, yet only one actually did anything about it.

It seems astounding when you think about it. (And,by the way, the one student who did reply is now making more than $100,000 per year as a full-time freelance writer.)

Don't make that mistake yourself.

The Time To Start Is Right Now

I spend a good deal of my time mentoring people. Over the years, I've developed a pretty good sense of whether those I coach will succeed.

One thing I look for - probably the most important thing - is their time frame.

I know from experience that virtually everyone who puts off change will not make it. When I hear someone say "I'm going to start after Christmas" or "next month" or "on Tuesday," I think, "Like hell you are."

For when it comes to change, the sure sign of failure is procrastination.

Even setting a starting date of tomorrow is a bad sign. People who really, truly want to create a real and permanent change in their lives want to start now. That's how I feel every time I get on a new project, start a new business, or kick off a new exercise program. I know I've become tired with the status quo. I've figured out a way to make things better. That newness excites me.Why should I put it of?

When I catch myself saying that I'll begin at some later point in time, I know I'm in trouble.

Think about your own experience. Think about how many times did you put off starting until some convenient point in the future? And when you did, how many times did you fail?

So, are you ready to begin building wealth now? Right now?
