The Steps to Getting Rich - How to Get Rich

Our society (western civilization) is completely caught up in the idea that getting rich is either good or bad, as opposed to the idea that being rich is natural. Consider this, if there were more rich people in the world, and less extremely rich people in the world, more people would be “out there” impacting the world. It seems banal, but we as a group must get this: we live in a rich society and yet most Americans are in debt and broke. But we’re the hardest working people in the industrialized countries.

Rather than pursuing money, cars, houses, and the etcs - because we could have those - if more people were rich we could help our struggling friends, help people in distant lands that drink unsafe water, and invest in the greater good of other communities. Think about it, which country of people is considered the most generous? Americans. We like sharing, giving, helping. Well, imagine what would happen if more of us were rich. As I mentioned, sure the driveway would have an extra set of wheels, the closet will fill out, and our name would be on the list more frequently at nice restaurants.

And that alone would provide more jobs; but what’s more, we would take better care of our struggling parents, we would donate more money to local schools, and we would take more time to slow down and enjoy life. Guess what, the famous people that some of us envy, some admire, and some despise - they donate a ton of money.

It is a fact of nature, whether guilt or generosity, people like to share and help out.

For this reason, it is time that those of us who are capable start changing our mindset to become rich. Our comfort zones need to be tossed out. The security we feel needs to be challenged. It is time we become rich. If not for ourselves, then for the people we love, and for the people we will never get to love.

For many people, becoming rich is something to be cynical about, and they carry around the old thinking that money is bad. They’ve simply found a reason to give up, and they’ve found a way to feel good about giving up.

When in fact, the steps to getting rich are simple, but not easy. Keep reading: I know many people think there’s a lottery ticket waiting somewhere, and in ways there is. But bear with me. Let’s do a little exercise to learn why being rich is not easy, but simple.

Write on one piece of paper how much you earned last year. Place that in front of you. Write on another piece of paper how much you want to earn this year. Place that behind you. There’s the picture of your financial outlook. You cannot see your goal, you do not know it exists. It does not matter that it is behind you, what matters is that it is not in your field of experience. It’s not a dream, a belief, or a goal.

But that can be easily changed.

For the sake of experiencing a powerful step forward in your personal development, consider this. Take the piece of paper in front of you and pick it up. Shake the paper. Take another color pen and draw a car next to the money, then a house, then the clothes you wear. Take another color of pen and draw in all your friends, family, the people associated with your earnings (co-workers, boss). Next, make a recording of your voice and what you think of work, and play that back while shaking the paper and seeing what’s on it.

Do you see what’s happening? You have completely forgotten the piece of paper behind you. And we have not even scratched the surface yet regarding the experience of the paper in front of you. We have not added emotion, smell, movement, and hours and hours of repetition. Imagine a mountainside of new fallen snow - that’s the goal behind you. Now imagine that same mountainside after a day of skiers and snowboarders on it - that’s the paper in front of you.

So now you see all your affirmations, goal setting, dreaming, planning, massive work ethic, trying and trying all lead to one thing: struggle.

We live in a world of gravity, so quit trying to put everything up. Step back and let the natural order of things bring your riches. What does that mean? As you will all learn, I’m a doer. I don’t do theory, fluff, hype, content, or any that wishful thinking. I go inside and change the program, and then I go on about my day and let gravity work.

Call it what you will, but there is a power that runs this Earth. Ever seen two Grey Whales mate on TV? It is simply not possible. It cannot be done. Imagine yourself hitting a hole in one on a golf course, and then doing it on the next hole - aint gonna happen - and that’s the likihood of Grey Whales mating. Whales of that size - think 50 feet long and 33 tons - same weight as 33 of your cars and same length as eight of your cars lined up - in the water, having to swim - do you see this? This is a miracle. It is not possible.

Let me give you another example of the not possible on this planet - rattle snakes. I’ve seen lots of them and I cannot believe they can survive. They can only survive in temperatures between 55 and 90 degrees. Okay, so that happens in the southwest of the US, right? Wrong. That happens during the day in Spring and Autumn, and at night in the Summer, and never in the Winter. So they must live vertically: up on a rock, and then burrow down. How do they do it without suffering through other temperature variations? They manage the transitions. Which you are experiencing now. Then, they hibernate. What happens when the weather changes? Do they get an upcoming report? No, the temperature in the desert drops 50 degrees in a 24 hour period. Then rises 40 degrees, then drops 45. This animal has to eat and regulate its temperature to survive. It is not possible that these animals could exist. This is the same as people flying.

Well guess what, they do it, and so can you. You will learn here that those transitions the snake must make on a daily basis is the way you will be rich now. As in now. You will learn techniques that take energy and work - on the inside - and you will start to grow like you did as a kid. And that’s the key: time to start growing again.

Take that piece of paper behind you, place it on top of the piece of paper and in front of you, and realize that that’s the key. Simple from where you’re sitting; very hard to do for some simple reasons.

Folks, if you think you can go out right now and run a 4 minute mile you’re nuts. Will you just for a minute practice a little humility and be kind to your self. At the same time, accept that your beliefs, values, behavior - not to mention everything you drew on that piece of paper - are there to support where you’re currently at. The system is working beautifully to make you feel secure and strong - at your peril, I might add. But the way we were designed is brilliant. It works perfectly. What we do here is use that system to get what you want.
