what is wealth?

What is wealth? Are you wealthy? Do you want to be wealthy? Do you know where to begin?

I’m wealthy, and I’m going to tell you how to be wealthy too. I’m going to make it easy for you too.

2 months ago, I watched a documentary called The Secret and I talked about how it changed my life. It improved my income, improved my relationships, and I’m just happier in general.

The small things:

- Within a few days, I was receiving small amounts of unexpected money. The vet decided to delete a $40 bill just because they like us.

- Our bank sent us a $53 gift card for gas.

- I received a $40 refund from my dentist because my insurance ended up paying for more of my visit than planned.

The bigger things:

- I earned $2,000 of additional income in one month from design projects on the side. Let me point out that I’ve been a designer for 9 years, and that’s the most I’ve ever made in one month from independent projects.

- I doubled my income in sales from AdamMale products in 2 days. Check that: 2 DAYS! The only thing I did different was focus very intensely on earning more money.

- I have a handful of people interested in my design services that I will be working with very soon.

Relationship related:

- My relationship with Rodney has improved incredibly. We’ve become closer than we’ve ever been in 6 years. We’re together 16 hours a day and we hardly ever fight. We’re more loving, more sensitive, and more involved with each other.

- My relationship with my homophobic brother is showing signs of improvement too. We socialized with him and his wife over Christmas and actually had some really interesting conversations. We haven’t tackled any heavy topics, but I think this is a start.

So what is different?

I’ve changed the entire perspective that society and culture have ingrained into my head. I no longer view money as something that’s dirty, greedy, and hard to attain. I love money because I know that ever dollar has come to me honestly, through good intentions. I don’t participate in any business activities that seem shady. Most of all, I have accepted that I can have anything I want in life and my success is going to continue to grow rapidly.

You have to believe, without an ounce of fear or doubt, that you can do anything. Most millionaires were not born that way. They come from average households and work to achieve what they have. If they can do it, I can do it.

Also, when it comes to love, family, and relationships, I’ve learned to believe that there is no limit to the amount of love and happiness I can achieve. It doesn’t matter how rough things are, or how difficult they seem, we are all humans. And humans have the amazing ability to change.

How do people get there?

It does not matter what your current situation is, you can start being wealthy right now. Wealth is not just money, it is abundance, it is health, happiness, success, love. Wealth is having a large amount of anything. I don’t care if you’re stuck in a dead-end job. I don’t care if you’re in a failing relationship. You have a choice every single second of every single day.

You have to start by realizing what you really want. Let’s take money, for example. Say this:

“I am a money magnet. Money flows to me continuously from multiple sources at all times. There are unexpected checks in the mail coming to me right now.”

Say it all the time, make a part of your internal dialogue. You will receive unexpected income. It started out small for me, but it’s growing drastically and it’s only been a few months. All I had to do was change my mindset.

More to come:

I’m going to be writing more about the techniques I’ve learned. I’ve actually learned a lot in a short amount of time. But for starters, if you haven’t watched The Secret, GO DO IT! You can watch it online for $4.95! That’s less than some people spend on coffee in a day.
