Ok, so everybody would like to be rich, or at least richer. There are numerous ways in which this can be done, however there are certain things you must do and understand first in order to be able to maximise your potential for getting rich. Contrary to what you might think, I am not going to give you a list of money making ideas or schemes. Instead, I am going to talk about how to begin changing yourself into a person that is able to be rich….Interested? Then let’s begin.

First of all, understand what true wealth is and the true nature of money. Everyone knows that being rich means nothing if you do not have your health. This is obvious. However, you are rich right now in so many ways that if you tried to count them you would be here for a long time. (Which incidentally is no bad thing). So look around you. Really take a look. Everything you have makes you rich. Your clothes, table, chairs, roof over your head, certainly your computer. How many things have you got? Every single one of them is worth something, and I don’t just mean monetary value. The value of something is how much good it is doing for you.

Ah money – that tricky trickster. Did you know that it doesn’t actually exist? Money as a noun is a bit of a misnomer really. Money is actually a representation. And what does it represent? It represents the transaction of value, and value can be any number of things – it can be pleasure, time saving, travel, freedom, information etc. So if you decide you want more money, then what you are actually saying is that you want more valuable transactions. When you look at it this way, then suddenly there are more paths to the place you are trying to get to.

Fall in love with what you already have. You can always set yourself goals for more, but the first important thing you must do is to start appreciating what you have that makes you rich right now. This puts you in the right mindset for receiving more things that you can be grateful for. Everyday, make a point of giving thanks for as many things as you can think of. Your fingers and toes, the food on your plate, the grass outside, the door to your house. It doesn’t matter how small. When you have practiced this for a while you will start to realise that you have more and more things to be grateful for with everyday that passes.

Negativity is the absolute enemy of progress. If you pay attention to yourself through out the day I bet you will be surprised at just how many times you are negative. It’s the little throw away comments that go unnoticed. ‘Well at least it’s not raining’ – what a depressing thing to say! ‘The morning’s dragging on a bit’ – tired of life are you? Pay attention. Be positive 100% of the time and I promise you will be amazed at what starts to happen…

Wealth is around us all the time, without fail. The world we live in is a world of abundance. There is plenty for everyone, despite what you might read in the papers or hear in the news. Not only can you get more wealthy, but everyone can.

Understand that it is value, not time that will get you more money. By this I mean that exchanging man hours for money (as in a regular 9-5 job) is the least efficient way to earn money. Why? Because there are only a limited amount of hours that you can work. However, exchanging value for money can bring in earnings any time of the day or night for as long as the thing has value.

What do you know about that could help other people. Knowledge is power, and it gets a fair price! What skill sets can you pass on that are valuable to other people. The web is a great way to sell what you know to people from all kinds of backgrounds, and once you set it going can continue to earn you money even when you are asleep.

So, I hope you have found this useful. It’s good to know that there are steps that can be taken everyday towards getting richer, is it not?
