People who want to be rich fall into all sorts of temptations and traps.

How Happiness Attracts Money

By Christopher Westra
Excerpt from I Create Millions

Do you know there is a strong correlation between money and happiness?

Yes, you heard right. No, money does not bring happiness - the correlation goes the other way. Happiness brings money!

Yes, those who are truly happy now always attract more abundance into their life.

If you think that anything outside yourself will cause you to feel a certain way, then you are suffering under an illusion.

The universe wants you to understand that you are the creator of your emotional life. You can decide to be happy now, and happiness is what you really want.

You don't need money to be happy. As long as you think you need money to be happy you will push it away because of your desperate craving.

When you are already happy, then you don't need money. You simply desire increased abundance for yourself, your family, and the entire world. You can surely have it then, because you have learned the lesson.

Stop searching for the magical arrival of an ideal and perfect day. Enjoy the flux and flow of this very day.

The present moment is the only time you can be happy because now is the only time that exists. Be happy before you get money. Be happy right now!

Actively enjoy the blessings you receive, and cultivate a welcoming and happy attitude towards everyone. You only want money to buy things. You think these “things” will make you happy, and more secure.

Choose to feel the way you want to feel right now, and then you can have anything you want. You achieve manifesting power when you know the secret.

The secret is that you manifest first in the inner emotional world of faith, and then in the “outer” physical world you can touch. Go forth and choose this day to be happy.

Who Was the Richest Person Who Ever Lived?

The emperor of Mali lived on top of a 14th century gold mine so prolific that it probably made him the richest person who ever lived.

By JOHN STEELE GORDON

So while we cannot translate Mansa Musa’s wealth into modern terms with any specificity, Forbes Magazine’s researchers had no hesitation in calling him the richest man who ever lived, and ballparked his modern-day net worth at $400 billion.

The Biggest Lie: 'It Takes Money to Make Money'

By Dr. Steve Sjuggerud

"Congrats, Steve, you just made $100,000 today," the lawyer said.

I had just bought a property… cheap. The lawyer figured I could sell it for a six-figure profit right away.

A friend of mine heard about this deal and said, "Well… it takes money to make money."

I was surprised he said that, actually… To me, this little phrase is one of the biggest and most dangerous lies out there… It is a convenient excuse to simply not try to succeed.

It's like the old joke:

"Lord, I've worked hard all my life, why couldn't you have just let me win the lottery?"

The Lord replied, "Why didn't you just buy a ticket?"

You have to try. And it doesn't "take money to make money"…

In my last real estate deal, one of my business partners put up no money at all… Instead, he's putting in "sweat equity."

He's doing most of the work on this project, adding value to our investment. I'm sure he will come out with a six-figure profit when we sell. He could even make a couple hundred thousand dollars! Remember, he put zero money in.

So in his case, it didn't "take money to make money."

His situation is not unique in real estate… A common deal goes like this: A young guy comes up with an idea to make money. He finds a property he can buy for $100,000, put $20,000 into, and sell for $150,000. The problem is, he has no money.

So he finds an old guy with money, and they agree to split the profits 50/50. If the deal goes according to plan, they both walk away with a $15,000 profit.

He had the only two things you need: an idea and the willingness to roll up his sleeves and make it happen… He did everything from finding the old guy and convincing him to invest, all the way through to selling the property.

In both examples, the young guy didn't even have any risk in the deal.

Real estate deals are an easy example. But it doesn't "take money to make money" in other areas, either…

A young friend of mine came up with a simple idea. He launched a website that focuses on – get this – forklifts! It's like Hotels.com, only for heavy-duty equipment. If you need to buy or rent heavy equipment, you can locate… through his website… the pieces you need that are closest to you and at the best prices.

It's not the sexiest-sounding business… But it's a great idea. It cost him next to nothing to set his website up and call equipment owners to get them onboard.

Now he earns a commission from every sale or rental. Life is good. He doesn't work for "the man" anymore, and hasn't for years. And he's making more money than ever.

It doesn't take money to make money. You just need two things:

1. A great idea.
2. To roll up your sleeves and make it happen.

You can't underestimate either of those things. The amount of effort and commitment required will be extraordinary. But that's the way it goes. You're trying to break out of the ordinary. So an ordinary effort won't cut it. You will need to sustain an extraordinary effort.

This is hard. But it's how you make money.

It is much easier to give up. It is much easier to say, "It takes money to make money," and never try. It is much easier to complain that you'll never win the lottery, without buying a ticket. (You know what I mean.)

Don't ever catch yourself saying, "It takes money to make money."

It doesn't… It takes a great idea and the willingness to make it happen.

Now get to it! You can do it…

"More good is achieved in pursuit of the profit motive, by a huge margin, than is achieved through wealth confiscation and redistribution or by outright charity.

If you personally, really want to "do good" for the world, get rich or richer, by creating something that acts as an economic engine."

How Singapore's billionaires amassed their wealth

Singapore is one of the richest places in the world with a stunning 155,000 millionaires. Which means approximately one in 35 people you see every day are millionaires. They're not really a rare breed anymore.

We have just 30 billionaires on the island - a far rarer breed.
