Wealth Rule #1: The Law of Belief
You act in a manner consistent with your beliefs, especially your beliefs about yourself.
The first step to becoming independently wealthy is to believe you are destined to be a big financial success. When you are absolutely convinced that you are a “financial success in the making,” you take actions that make it come true.
If you wait for someone else to make you wealthy, your future wealth is out of your control.
If you have doubts about yourself, you will limit yourself. You will not take the actions you need to become wealthy.
Everyone who is better off than you started with the believe that they would do well. They have also learned and implemented the other 14 Wealth Rules. You can do the same.
Decide that you are going to make yourself independently wealthy.
NOW!
What do you believe will happen with your financial condition in the future? Do you hope you will become rich? Do you worry you might end up broke? Do you have no idea?
The fact is this: your expectations will determine your fate. Whatever you believe or expect will happen IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
If you constantly worry you will have no money, that is probably what will happen.
If you are just waiting or expecting someone or something to make you wealthy, you can kick back and entertain yourself. If they do not come through, you will not be wealthy.
Because your actions match your beliefs, the best belief you can have is that you are destined to be a big financial success. When you are absolutely convinced that you are “a financial success in the making,” you take steps that make this come true.
