‘Wanna know what Wealthy People are doing to Thrive in this Economy?
By admin | October 7, 2008
My Wealthy Friends Agree… Making money in this economy is a matter of Vision, Mindset and Knowledge. Does your chest constrict with fear every time you hear another report about how our economy is spiraling out of control? ‘Wonder whether or not you might get sucked down with the financial crisis whirlpool? Do you worry about where your business and investment portfolio will be next quarter? OR… Do you want to know how to soar above it all, Make money and help others in the process?
My wealthy friends all agree on three points regarding how to make money in these “down times”:
1. It’s a matter of having a vision.
2. It’s a matter of mindset. If you think that you’re going down, you’re right. If you think that you’re going to thrive, you’re right.
3. It’s a matter of applying specialized knowledge.
With the right plan and precise implementation, you absolutely thrive in this economy!
‘Wanna know how?
1. Don’t listen to negativity, and don’t listen to the naysayers. Yes, they might be losing money, and maybe people in your industry and people in your community are losing money, but that doesn’t mean that everybody has to lose money. Many people are thriving and will do so ten-fold during these “tough times.”
2. Find people who are thriving, and learn from them. Not just people who talk about it, but people have done well in both up times and down times. People who are ethical and authentic. Ideally, look for people in your industry. If not, go outside of your industry (in fact, as Dan Kennedy suggests, sometimes you MUST go outside of your industry so that you don’t do things like everybody else in your industry is, especially if they’re not thriving).
3. Go back and revisit your grand plan and vision. See the end result, and plan backwards to now, step-by-step. ‘Any adjustments need to be made? Well, get to them then!
4. Ask yourself, how can you add leverage and velocity to your business plans? In other words, look beyond the standard ways of doing business and expanding, and find new ways.
If you an info-preneur and can create one product a month, who or what can you use to create 2 or 5 products a month?
If you’re marketing, besides adding clients yourself, how can you accelerate your client acquisition process (think strategic partnerships!)
As somebody I respect recently said,
“We’re still transitioning from the industrial age to the information age… we’re still growing. Those who can learn and transition faster, will thrive. Those who don’t will stagnate and deteriorate. ”
5. As with Plato Oracle of Delphi, Socrates and the door that Neo (from the Matrix) chose to enter: “Know thyself… and you will possess the keys to the universe and the secrets of the Gods”
Inspired by a friend, I’m reminded just how powerful “Knowing thyself” really is, because when you know yourself, you’re led to the people who are meant to further teach you (or for you to teach them). Dig deep to find out more about yourself. Meditation is one great way to do this. When I meditate, besides bringing some peace to my life, I am led to people who are not only successful at what they do, but who present a sense of authenticity, joy and vision for themselves and the world.
Over the next few days, I will be spotlighting some of these people- both men and women. These are people who are thriving in the stock market (yes, even today, with it dipping 500 + points), thriving venture capitalists (yes, even today- yesterday in fact- still getting money from banks for businesses and investments), increasingly-successful marketers, entertainers and more…
People who are talented in bringing out the best and “Wow!” in others… Bottom line, I’ll be bringing to you people who are kicking butt and taking names in many fields simply because they know how to stick to, believe in and work towards their visions.
Take a few moments today (and every day hereafter) to meditate, find and enhance your:
* Vision
* Mindset
* Knowledge
If you’d like a little help getting there quicker, my friend Lynn Rose, has a free download of here of her “Guided Visioning Process for Realizing Your Goal or Dream“.
I first experienced this guided meditation-leading-to-vision process live with Lynn in one of her “Wow! Factor” Workshops, and it was and still is one of the best “visioning” sessions I’ve ever experienced! I use her audio version now whenever I need to get in my most powerful space, re-claim my vision and get into the mindset to find the knowledge I need to move forward!
Remember, to do and be like wealthy people today find positive and successful people, create and enhance your vision, hold on to a powerful mindset, and learn and apply specialized knowledge that will cause you to thrive tenfold too!
Happy Visioning!

I couldn’t agree with you more Jennifer!
First of all, people need to understand: “Your thoughts control your life!” If you constantly focus on your woes, your financial struggles, the stock market going down, etc., whether you want it or not, those things will materialize and continue to burden your life. There is actual science to “The Law of Attraction” and “Quantum Physics” and when you understand that everything in the universe is energy…even your thoughts (if you focus enough energy on them) will become reality whether you want them to or not.

Thank you Shelley and Zrii for your comments. To further confirm Zrii’s comments, Bruce Lipton goes into great detail about the science behind belief in his book, “The Biology of Belief.” When you read it, it will further forever change how you think about your own thinking!
