SHARPEN YOUR FINANCIAL EDGE BY
CHANGING YOUR ATTITUDE
Everyone has advice and ideas about
how you can handle your finances and the way you treat money. Some
say to save at every opportunity and watch every penny, some say pay
off all your debt first before you even think about investing, others
advocate that you live within your means, and all of these strategies
have Merritt, and can even propel you forward. But think for a moment
what really motivates you, what drives you to grab your finances by
the throat and corral them into submission, to bend to your will and
carry you on your desired path? A better standard of living for you
and your family, are you tired of living from substandard point of
view? well what ever motivates you to change your attitude it is
always best to have as much understanding and knowledge as possible
so lets explore some mantras of the rich,who knows maybe you can find
a “take away point” that can help you turn that corner to
financial independence.
Having the attitude that you are the
master of your own future and you do not have to fall prey to the
status qua is vital. People with this mindset are more likely to take
responsibility for their lives, their success's as well as their
failures and are more prone to learn from their mistake and failures.
They will normally examine what they did wrong and make improvements
and adjustments. They don't blame others or make excuse but find
results which leads to them becoming successful and accomplishing
their goals.
Having a “CAN DO” attitude can be
the difference of waking up in the morning with a purpose and getting
fired up for the day ahead or waking up in the morning and throwing
the alarm clock at the wall and hating the day you were born and
pulling the covers back over your head. Persons who believe that what
they do has an impact on the world in real time are more likely to
work hard to change their circumstances. While some may have a
“victim” mentality when they awaken to the fact that they can
change their circumstance nothing makes them more angry and
determined to change their attitude toward wealth.
No one wants to be lead buy a person
who has a lacking self-confidence and is weak in making the tough
calls. But those who are confident, even over confident bordering on
the fringe of arrogance has the ability to draw the masses to his
point of view. People gravitate to those whom have strong conviction
about their point of view because they are strong and willing to take
risk and stand back up after a failure to try again. If by chance
they stumble or even fall the manage to do it gracefully. They own up
to the circumstance and move one by their head and shoulders down and
work hard to prove themselves again.
Many of use have a fixed perspective
about our abilities, and some may even think that they are not smart
enough gain wealth. They see themselves as stupid and ignorant but I
think it is more related to fear, fear of failure, fear of losing,
fear of being ridiculed by their piers but if a person can over come
these fears and negativism they can overcome all the regrets and
fallacy's. The only thing that should matter is where is the best
place to put that investment dollar that will give me maximum return.
Proceed without regrets and be a
little anxious about your money. Having this attitude will give you a
healthy availability about your money and keep you motivated to
strive to protect it and your earnings. To show vigilance is better
than overspending or gambling it away. Many take unnecessary risk
when they come into extra money or money that isn't earned from work
like a tax return or an inheritance but that money is the same as any
other money and should be treated with respect. Spend those dollars
as you would any other dollars you may acquire.
