Wealth Comes Before Money
I had a great experience in Dallas, Texas last week. I attended a two day advanced leadership and communication workshop. This training gave me a new perspective on my personal aim and mission. I not only saw people whose lives have been made better, I heard stories of transformation and personal accomplishments against all odds.
My personal aim is to uplift and to heal. Uplifting is helping others learn to control the direction and outcome of their lives. Healing is restoring the individual to integrity. This is the impulse that drives me. My focus in on helping others improve their personal economy, engage in extreme self-care, and maintain balance in five areas of their lives.
Although I want to help everyone who needs my help, I enjoy working with those who:
1. have a strong desire to make a difference in our world. The question that these people ask themselves is, “how many people are winning in life because of my contribution?” If you’ve ever asked yourself this question and you want to do something to help others win, join me.
2. have a strong desire to make a personal economic change for the better. One aspect of healing is to help people heal financially. I thought about this while listening to the many stories of financial transformation. There were so many stories of going from financial ruin to financial well being. Are you satisfied with your current level of income?
3. Are already living some aspects of a lifestyle of health and sustainability. When a person can fully live this lifestyle in the midst of all the troubles, worries, discouragements, and challenges that life brings, that person is already a health millionaire. Being a health millionaire aids you in becoming a wealth millionaire and allows you to compete for high achievement with those who are in good health. If you are not in good health, you will not be able to create a sustained focus on wealth building activities.
In the words of J. Kennedy Shultz,
“The rich are not rich because they have money. They have money because they are rich. They rise up from poverty to wealth, not because they get money, but because they first get smart about and receptive to wealth. They start with nothing going for them but their mind and the way they are using it.”
