I wrote this post a year ago, and since someone said I should air it again, here it is. (Yes, I'm that easily influenced! :)

---7 Ways To Riches---
What I'm about to say here is totally opposite to everything you've been told to believe when it comes to getting mon-ey.
My views and action steps here will get some folk hopping mad.
Especially with expensive Xmas on our doorstep.
I don't care.
Because you need to realize we are all being manipulated to achieve less than we're really worth.
And once you see how that's happening, you can change your life dramatically.
Even in these negative times of jobs, housing and gas price stress, you can change your life around 180 degrees in an instant, and live happy.
A rich mind is just a mindset, and I'm going to tell you what I do to rise above these current problems.
I started thinking about this when I recently came across one of many websites that seeks to pull me down to the dull level of the unthinking masses... people who are unable to think for themselves and who use the popular media to do their thinking for them.
I got mad.
Because success in any field is not made by the average Joe doing average stuff. It is made by the contrarian thinker who takes action, who ignores the media viewpoint to become wealthy beyond the rest of their neighborhood.
Could you change your mindset and realize your true worth?
I have done it, and I'll tell you how.
Sometimes it takes a little motivation - like completely ignoring people who suggest you can save a penny here and a cent there by buying soap powder in bulk. Who also say you can become a millionaire by wasting your life putting 10% away in a compounding account and waiting 30 years.
What! I can't wait 30 minutes for my wealth. I could die any minute. All those years wasted for nothing!
I'm tired of well intentioned do-gooders trying to make us scrape by on a penny... to convert us to their own poverty thinking.
Here’s some of their twisted thinking:
- Stop buying cars, they say, it will drive you broke with depreciation and running costs. As for expensive cars, they aren't necessary, you only need to get from A to B, right? Wrong! People treat you differently when you drive a quality car (Notice I said 'quality'. It doesn't need to be expensive, for now. Even a 20 year-old Mercedes in nice condition will do). A quality ride is a magical experience. Ask anyone who has ridden in a Rolls Royce. Why should you settle for less! People with low self-esteem can drive anything. Notice they also dress poorly and have worn out shoes. Owning a good car is essential to boosting your well being. A car liberates you, and defines you. Taking a train or bus will just keep you grounded in poverty thinking.
- You only need a 1,000 sq ft home, they say, and wow - look what you save on maintenance and taxes. Wrong! I gladly pay a small fortune for my large house upkeep because I'm enjoying every minute of it. I happily make the financial sacrifice. Know what defines the rich from the poor, apart from money? Space. The more you have, the better you live.
- The best things in life are free, the saying goes. Nope. Your family - the best 'free' thing we all have - will still visit you in your rundown slum in a swamp on the edge of a nuclear plant development. But wouldn't they prefer to play tennis on your double area courts, take a hike round your 200 acre wooded back yard, swim in your Olympic size pool? You bet. Your family will still love you for free, rich or poor. So why not aim for rich?
Are you proud of having the biggest pile of grocery vouchers in your street? Are you overjoyed when you score a bonus point on your loyalty card? (Just 999 points to go for a free egg whisk!) Do you forage the local tip for stuff you can use in your own home to save buying it?
Get real.
Free stuff is good for meeting low expectations.
Listen, penny-pinching depresses you and keeps you at a low level of achievement.
When you're on the breadline, everything looks like bread. When you live at this lower level, your mind shrinks to adapt to it.
By contrast I have a rich mentality. So I never do these things:
- I never look at the petrol pump prices.
- I never know what food costs. I just buy what I need.
- I never worry where the money will come from. It always does.
- I rarely question the price of things. But I will try for a bargain where I can. Saved 10% (that's $20,000 I got back) on my recent new Lexus by buying clever.
- I always pay a good tradesman their worth without a quibble.
The point is this - you and I are not going to get vast millions by spending on a $2 lotto ticket each month. You need to change your mindset and earn more so you can buy more tickets.
More tickets means more chances.
It's time to step up to the plate and go for gold! Here's some crazy ideas for you to get started earning and thinking big in your new life:
1- Buy an expensive watch.
Even if you own nothing else, get a good watch for the simple fact that it will inspire you. It's a mobile symbol of your expectation. Every time you look at it, you'll think about the good life it represents. That constant trigger will give you incentive to get moving, get earning more, spending more on lotto. A few years back I bought my wife a Omega watch to match mine. Hers is a Cindy Crawford model with umpteen diamonds worth three times the value of mine. Mine is an Omega Constellation, a more modest watch. I'm not a flashy person by nature. Interestingly, whenever I look at her watch, I think about what I need to do to drive up my own income further.
2- Fill your wallet with cash.
What's the amount of folding paper that scares you to have in your wallet? $50? $200? $500? Choose the amount that makes you nervous, and keep it in your wallet. Guess what? After a while, you'll start to feel good about it. You won't be worried about being caught away from an ATM or bank. You'll be able to negotiate with sellers - offer them either a creditcard, or a lower cash amount. You'll be surprised how low you can go with cash. But the best result of this move is that you'll feel rich, very rich. Cash is king. It's tangible. Just don't flash it about :-)
3- Live beyond your means.
There's nothing that inspires me more than to get up each morning and find ways to get a bigger mortgage. I'm living in my dream house, but I have a better one lined up. Just need a few million more to acquire it. And having a big commitment makes me work smarter, buy more lotto tickets. Don't listen to
Suze Orman or any other number of 'sensible' financial advisors who dispense ordinary advice. They're only trying to bring you down to the masses way of thinking, and keep you poor and compliant.
4- Don't have a rainy day reserve fund.
What's the point of having money if you don’t use it? It's useless sitting there, gathering a tiny few percent in interest. Instead, take out a creditcard with a limit that allows you to live for 6 months, and keep it in a safe place. Don't ever use it unless in an emergency. That's your rainy day fund, and it only costs you $35/yr. Better than having $10,000 in savings which could buy you any number of fancy things right now. We've got two, and I'm putting a third one away as I speak. It's a great feeling.
5- Change your job to sales.
Working for $15/hr? That's peanuts. You're exchanging time for money and you'll never climb out of the pit. Because what happens when you run out of time to work? Simple - you limit your income. Say you work in a widget factory and can produce 1 widget an hour. You get paid $15 an hour to do that. How are you going to increase your income? You can't! Sell the widgets instead. If you sold 10 widgets at $100 each - hey, that's $1,000 an hour! Could you sell 100 widget? That's $10,00 an hour! See the difference? Unlimited thinking is the key.
6- Write your goals daily.
Set extreme goals and confirm them in writing EVERY DAY, in the morning - to set the pattern for the day ahead. Do one thing towards your goal each day. Remember "The Secret"...that book that swept the world a while back? Though much of it was marketing twaddle, one of the most important parts was the goal setting through writing. For some reason the mind works on your written desires and brings them to fulfillment. It works for me all the time, and I don't know why or how. Like me, just do it and believe it will happen.
7- Tithe.
Tithing works. It doesn't have to be money you give away. You can also quit your unused possessions. We gave away a perfectly good clothes drier recently to my wife's church, and someone right now is giving thanks for it. Money is just more convenient. Here's how tithing really works. Forget the spiritual rubbish about 'the universe' giving stuff back to you because you tithe. The reality is that by giving money or stuff away, you are subconsciously acknowledging that you are in fact wealthy enough to do it. That is an important boost to the ego, and before you know it, you're doing more, taking more risk, living more fully. The fear of not having enough wealth is driven out when you give money or items away with a glad heart. It works on YOU.
Why am I suggesting these wacky 7 strategies?
Because unless you are able to play more than the average $1/week that most other lotto players spend, you're going nowhere fast.
The more you spend, the faster your odds improve.
It's simple maths. Accelerate everything in your life and you get there faster... whether it's success in your sales job, or winning lotteries.
Should you take any of my advice?
Only a privileged few reading this are mentally capable of using this information wisely. The rest will end up poorer and in debt. And blaming me for it.
Is that you? Only you know.
If you have any doubts, or lack vision, give up now. Keep buying your $1/week lotto ticket and maybe win it back, or maybe not. At least you'll be safe and secure and your life will be comfortable in the rut you're in.
To sum it up:
- - You need to increase your income to be able to afford more lotto tickets.
- - Even if your winnings are slow to start, at least your income will be working towards getting you to most powerful position in the world - your own independence and personal freedom.
- - Ignore conventional thinking. It will severely limit your earning opportunities.
Up to you now!
