One Percent of the People Make 96% of the Money by Esther Bartkiw

Wealth is a predictable result. Most people have been conditioned to believe that a person must be smart and educated to be wealthy. I challenge this belief for I have met and heard of many people who earn phenomenal amounts of money and have very little formal education.

Just one percent of the population earns 96% of all the money being earned globally. While this statistic may be shocking and hard for some people to believe, it is true. Multiple Sources of Income is the concept by which this small group earns the majority of the world's currency.

This fall I began working with Bob Proctor from the hit DVD, The Secret. In 1960, Bob went from being a high school dropout to earning more then a $100,000 dollars a year by applying the principals he learned from the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Bob never stopped studying the principals he learned from Hill's book and has been dedicated to helping others create lives of prosperity through such avenues as The Chairman's Club.

Just as I do in my private practice, Bob Proctor reaches out to people and helps them to believe in and act on the greatness of their own mind. Wealth is a predicted by your mindset and the actions which arise.

Bob teaches that there are three strategies for earning money. The first strategy is used by 96% of the population. It's where you trade time for money. The problem with this strategy is that you run out of time. It does not matter how much you're getting an hour. You run out of time. And that's a problem.

Ninety-six out of 100 people use this strategy, and if they are able to save any money for the latter part of their life, they do it at the expense of living their lives. They compromise on the car they drive, the house they live in, the vacations they take and the amount of time they spend with their families.

The second strategy used to create wealth is excellent but is used by only three percent of the population, which is investing money to earn to money. This strategy is great if you have money to invest.

The third strategy is where you multiply your time by setting up Multiple Sources of Income (MSI). MSI's are not about adding another job to your list of things do. Who wants another job? MSI's are about joining forces with people from all over the world, setting up joint ventures, setting up MSI's to bring in multiple sources of passive income. When you work on a global level engaging in MSI's, which thanks to the internet and technology is easily accomplished, then earning money while you sleep is not only a possibility, it is a reality.

Multiple Sources of Income are the new economy. It's no accident that right now the old economy is changing and crumbling away. Listen to the wealthy. They all write and talk about MSI's as the key to prosperity.

What you believe you create in your life and that includes money. What you believe about money, your ability to earn it, how much is available, how easy or hard it is to earn it, will determine how you move through and weather this current economic climate.

Many people have chosen not to participate in the current state of the economy and their lack of focus and attention on it means that their businesses are flourishing or at the very least holding steady. People who focus on the weakening dollar, stock market plunges and what Lou Dobbs has to say on CNN are battling down the hatches.

How you react to this current situation is determined by your beliefs. Your reactions determine your results. If you would like a little more dough in your pocket right now, then change your beliefs.

One Good Tip to Eradicate Poverty Consciousness Forever by Dr. Liz Zed

Often the biggest obstacle to creating wealth is somewhat of a hidden obstacle. At a more advanced level it may be necessary to work with self-sabotage created by the unconscious mind.

However, there’s a relatively simple way to begin eradicating poverty consciousness forever by paying careful and disciplined attention to our conscious manner of speaking.

This requires us to pay attention to the words we speak, notice when and what we’re saying, and pay a penalty for utterances that are not aligned with a wealthy mindset. It’s a simple technique and requires only the most minimal preparation.

You’ll be using a money levy or fine as a penalty, and will be accumulating these fines, so it helps to be prepared in advance for how you plan to use the accumulated dollars. This can be a contribution to your own wealth account, or if you prefer you can utilize a ‘double deterrent’ system—meaning it’s more of a deterrent if you don’t end up benefiting from the accumulated fines. In the latter case you can ‘sacrifice’ the accumulated fines to a cause you would prefer not to see advanced!

Next choose bills, coins to stand in for bills, or just coins, whatever is a stretch for you, and put aside a stash of these to serve as fines. You’re going to need a lot, and the idea is to replenish the stash from time to time so that you don’t cheat on this exercise. Use a see-through glass jar to collect the cash contributions & deposit these every time you make a declaration of your poverty, either out loud or when the inner voice declares.

You will hear yourself say things like, “it’s too expensive”, “I can’t afford it”, “it’s not worth it”, “that’s a ridiculous price”, “I don’t have enough”, “I don’t have what I need”, “I wish I could afford that”, “how will I pay the bills?” “no one’s going to give me a chance” or any other “I’m not worth it” kinds of utterances to self or others.

Fine yourself.

Put a $100, a $10 or a dollar bill in the glass container where you can watch it grow. Put in a quarter to stand for a dollar. Put in a quarter as a quarter. Put in a dime. It doesn’t matter. Just see that it’s a stretch.

Solicit help from friends or family if you can. & ask them to help you notice when you’re talking ‘lack’ or ‘poverty’. If they’ve got issues with money, don’t expect their help because they probably wouldn’t notice anyway.

Fine yourself every single time you notice. Then what you’ll soon notice--if you’re new to this practice--is that you’ll start off slow, & if you continue to practice you’ll be fining yourself multiple times a day--or hour--at an alarming rate. Keep the practice up for as long as you can.

As the jar bulges with cash you will be able to substitute conversations of poverty consciousness with conversations of wealth consciousness. Finally, your outer circumstances will begin to reflect your new prosperity mindset back to you.

If you have a subject that makes you uncomfortable when you think about it, it means there is strong desire related to it. Which means it really, really, really matters.

So finding a way to think about it and feel good is your work. But it is equally effective to think about anything else and feel good, and let it in.

You don't have to think about money in order to let in money. You just can't think about lack of money, to let in money

Law of Attraction Lesson - How to Manifest Money by Bryan Appleton

One of the most common questions and complaints that I run across with people learning the law of attraction is, they don't seem to be able to get the hang of being able to manifest money with the law of attraction.

While money is not the only thing that you can learn to attract with the law of attraction, it tends to be about the number one reason why people get so interested in learning about the law of attraction.

You have to understand that there is no magic money that is going to just end up getting deposited into your bank account or your wallet. While it is an interesting thought, you will pretty much never find anyone that just has money magically appear into their lives without some reason for it manifesting.

Here is a quick law of attraction lesson on being able to manifest money:

1) Write down an exact amount of money that you would like to have manifest.

If you need to, think small at this point, when you are starting out. Some will say a $ 20 bill is good, while others will recommend $ 100. Whatever it is, write it down and look at it long enough to get a mental imprint of the amount that you want to be able to attract or manifest.

2) Start to focus on HOW you can bring that amount of money into your life.

Don't just think about lottery wins, contests or any other forms of chance to manifest money. Think about the skills that you possess, the things that you can do, the services that you can provide for others, etc. Many people get bogged down trying to win contests and lotteries with the law of attraction, and they forget about the many more practical ways that they can manifest money.

3) FEEL how good and happy it will make you to know that you can manifest money with the law of attraction.

Feelings and the way that you feel about money are important with both the law of attraction and your ability to manifest money. If it feels good, you are much more likely to attract it, as this is what you really want. A lot of people have bad feelings attached to money and they push away the possibility of being able to manifest more money.

This is just the start, but you have to start somewhere if you really want to manifest money with the law of attraction. It's not just going to appear from the clouds above unless you do something to make it manifest.

TOL:-

What's the point of becoming very rich only when you are 60 ?

If you want to be rich, do it early.

Only then will you be able to have the chance to enjoy your money and to also do something good with it.

[iam802]

err... what if the person's life not so smooth...and only become rich at 60?

Maybe he has been trying all his life.

[kennynah]

[winston]

Yes and that happens to some people.

Nothing they can do about. Better to be rich at 60 than to be poor at 60

But if you have a burning desire to be rich, aim to be rich while you have more time in front of you then behind you

In China, the biggest denomination is RMB100. In Singapore, I think the Sin$1000 note is still in circulation. Very soon, big brother would like everything to be done electronically so they can monitor all transactions ..

Sale of 500-euro notes banned in criminal clampdown

Currency exchanges across Britain have stopped selling 500-euro notes because 90 percent of them were linked to serious crime, tax evasion and terrorism, police said on Thursday.

The largest-denomination euro note, worth around 425 pounds, was secretly withdrawn from sale a month ago, following a voluntary agreement by bank wholesalers.

Since then, officials have been watching the market to see how criminals have changed tactics.

They have been expecting to see drug smugglers, people traffickers and other top-level crime gangs struggling to launder their profits as a result.

The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) said there was "no credible legitimate use" for the note, which is not a member of the eurozone and retains the pound sterling as its currency.

"There is no doubt that the main UK demand for the 500 euro note comes from serious organised criminals," said SOCA deputy director Ian Cruxton.

"This is a bold and welcome move which will cause substantial disruption to criminals' ability to move and launder large quantities of cash ....The 500 euro note is really the note of choice among criminals," he told the BBC.

A senior official at Soca's Financial Investigation Unit said an eight-month inquiry revealed the notes were inextricably tied to serious crime.

"Our analysis found that only about 10 percent of 500-euro notes sold in the UK retail market were used legitimately," he said.

"We anticipate criminals will be moved out of their comfort zone and will have to use other mechanisms for moving cash. That in turn will draw attention to their activities and offer up opportunities for law enforcement."

The high value of the note means 20,000 euros can be hidden in a cigarette packet, while an adult male can stuff and swallow up to 150,000 euros.

Border officials are now on the lookout for criminals going to France to buy large quantities of 500-euro notes.

On Wednesday, the new coalition government said it would not join or prepare to join the euro during the five-year parliament.
