Financial literacy and proven ways to attract abundance in your life are usually excluded from most schools' curriculum.
So, I want to share with you a few simple techniques you can use right now as a teenager that will help assist you in the future.
1. Wealthy Mindset
The beginning to all great wealth is the changing of your mindset from one of poverty and scarcity to one of extreme wealth and prosperity. This begins by feeding your mind with prosperous images and changing your self-talk. Instead of telling yourself you cannot afford things... allow yourself to be in the flow of abundance and believe there is truly enough for you and everyone else. We definitely do not live in a Universe that is lacking in anyway... just look at nature. There is abundance all around you!
2. Pay Yourself First
You must begin to save at least 10% of your current income from your job. If you don't have a job... go out and get one... or think of ways you can earn extra money. This money will become a seed that you will nurture and grow with time. You will never have true prosperity if you cannot discipline yourself with saving a certain percentage of your money each month.
3. Tap Into Your Divine Destiny
When you discover what your passion or calling is for life... the money will follow. You must make the decision to be paid richly for your passion. Just finding your passion will not guarantee prosperity. Now... how do you figure out what your destiny is? Begin to move your body with physical exercise and listen to the inner voice. This is your Creator trying to give you specific directions for your life. Remember... always think of serving others and the rest will take care of itself.
4. Invest Seed
Take the money that you are saving and plant that seed in fertile soil. Fertile soil may be in the form of starting your own business, investing in real estate or investing in solid stocks. There are many areas in which you can invest your money and allow it to multiple.
5. Create Abundance
Bring more value to the marketplace and you will surely become wealthy. Let me share with you a great story that describes what I'm talking about. There was a little boy who lived down the street from me and he decided to make some extra money for the summer. So one day he found a beat up old wagon at a neighborhood garage sale. He took it home and spent a few days fixing the tires and cleaning it up. After he had painted the wagon, it looked almost brand new! He then sold the wagon... after he counted his money... he realized he had doubled his money. This is a great example of bringing more value to the marketplace. You don't have to use wagons... you can fix cars, houses or even businesses.
6. Gratitude
I want you to go outside and take a walk for about 30 to 45 minutes. While you are walking and breathing the fresh air... give thanks for all the wonderful blessings you have in your life right now!
Be thankful now while you envision what you want in life... this simple exercise will attract what you want into your life. Quit thinking about what you DON'T want in your life. This component of one's success and abundance is often overlooked but please don't forget this step. If you do... the wealth you create and attract will soon disappear. Always give thanks for your life and all that you receive.
7. Action
This last strategy is actually the most important. You must take action TODAY!
If you just sit around and visualize the wealth you want to attract, you will not be in a position to receive it if you're not doing your part. Action takes one from being a dreamer to one that will attain all of their goals.
Be one that receives and achieves their goals!
If you will embrace these "7" wealth building strategies, I know you will achieve all that you want in life and you will have peace and contentment as well.
The person who is always worrying about how they're going to pay the bills cannot truly enjoy all that life has to offer.
Be disciplined with these strategies and remember to have some fun along the journey!
