Everywhere you look there seems to be someone offering a way to get rich quick. Whether it is the mega super jackpot prize draw in lotto or the next new work from home business system they promise is that you can live the life of your dreams with no effort on your part.
How many people do you know that have become instant millionaires? I am willing to bet your answer will be none. If you read the papers you will hear of people winning the lottery but if you follow up on their story, in most cases you will find they are worse off than ever after a year or two.
One of the reasons people fail to stay rich after winning the lottery or making a lucky sale or two in their 'business system' is their attitude to wealth. Money is their goal and once they have 'money', they stop working.
The wealthy people who remain wealthy never stop working. The difference is they enjoy their work because they are creating value- not just making money. They enjoy contributing and building value to the world. Their work is their life, not just a means of making money.
If you intend to get rich, you need to change the way you think about money. Money itself is not important. What you want to create is wealth. Wealth is created by supplying value. Value is something that meets a need. The most basic needs are survival, safety, security, love, affection and expression.
If you can create value by meeting one or more needs then you will be wealthy. One of the side effects of wealth is money. So forget the get rich schemes and create value for people and the money will look after itself.
