    Andrew posted an interesting comment. He says, “Whatever the secret maybe you will have to be smart enough to relise that it is flawed by the very fact that if everyone watches it and everyone watching is wanting wealth, it has to come at the expense of someone else, your wealth.”

    I think he is right. There are so many get rich quick schemes and books. Most of the time they only help the author to get rich.

    Unless you come up with a hugely unique idea or product or win lotto, there is no way to achieve quick success. Any successful project or business requires constant hard work.

    well, i think that Andrew is not “so right”, but it’s not unusual because he thinks in a way most of us learn to think.

    we have learn to think that wealth is limited and in order for us to be rich we must make another or someothers poor. but this is not how things work…

    as a programmer i can spend, lets say, 10 hours to create a programm that i will sell for 1000$
    and lets say that my hour costs me 500$. do i have make the buyer poorer because i took from him 500$ more?

    lets now say that he uses my program and by using it he earns 300$ more each month. in a year he earns 3600$ more, much more money than he pay me for the program.

    what is the trick here? it all comes down to a saying from Wallace D. Wattles:

    “Give everyone more in use value than
    you take from him in cash value.
    Then you are adding to the life of the world
    by every business transaction”

    there is no limmited wealth. we limit the wealth of the world by providing poor services. but we adding to the wealth of the world every time we offer good services.

    Not everyone wants wealth. Forget what you know. Become what you want. Make yourself.

    The programmer example is fine, but there’s a simplier one. If I take some wood and make chairs, I now have more wealth than before. Who lost wealth? Further, if I sell those chairs in a free marketplace for $500, I now have something worth more to me than the chairs ($500) (or else I would not have sold them), and the buyer has something worth more than $500 (or he would not have bought them). So now there’s even more wealth in the system, I’ve got more wealth than the chairs are worth, and so does the buyer.

    Another example is if I run an apple orchard, and my neighbor is a beekeeper. If we trade some of my apples for some of his honey, we’re both better off - wealth is created.

    The old idea that the economy is a big pizza, and if one person takes all the slices then you’re left with nothing but the box

    The secret is that we have the power to create our own realities and we always have. The power of your mind. Do some research on the law of attraction. It works. I believe.

    It’s true that you make yourself and all that, but there is NOT unlimited “wealth” in the World. The economy of the entire World depends on raw material such as wood, agricultural resouces, industry and so on. These things cannot produce higher than a certain level, therefore the amount of “wealth” in the World is limited.

    There was some snack chip company in the US that had a campaign where their slogan was basically “Eat all you want, we’ll make more.”

    There is indeed virtually unlimited wealth since it also includes services. I get my hair cut, wealth is created. I cook dinner for my wife, more wealth is created. Further there is virtually unlimited additional refining done to anything else. Somebody makes a chair, somebody else carves out some nice stuff on it, somebody else finishes it, somebody adds padding, somebody adds a gizmo to the feet so they don’t splinter, etc. And there’s no practical limit to how many trees we can grow.

    Further the premise that somebody else loses wealth when I create more is almost as old and outdated as saying the Earth is flat. Read Ludwig von Mises, Adam Smith - heck read Trader Vic Sperando. Even grab an Econ 101 text. Publishers and authors have a great deal going where they update their textbook every couple years, so collge students can’t resell all their textbooks when they finish the class. So you can get a slightly older one for might cheap. And guess what? You’ll be creating wealth by buying one. You’ll get some more info that’s worth more than the few dollars you spend, and some broke college student will get a couple bucks for beer. And the party store and college student will also create wealth with the beer for money transaction. Then the party store and distributor will do the same.

    Why, you’ll be creating a chain of wealth creation.

    But I won’t argue with you. It amuses me to leave you to your belief.

    I think the knowledge is important. Not everyone is open to receiving it and are too ignorant to believe there are such things called principles of wealth. State of mind is important, it relates to the attractor factor. In order to be wealthy, you have to create value. There are lots of network marketing businesses out there helping those who want it to create wealth for their families so they can help others to the same and create a chain reaction. Not everyone is open to this notion. I am Currently with an exciting and dynamic group right now focusing on personal development and its been a ride so far.

    Put it this way, if everone isnt seeking wealth and improvement, then why the interest in this site. If you need someone to tell you a secret to a better life and if that is your excuse for not being where you want to be in life, then your already a loser, hanging around for this is only gonna get your disappointed my friends.
