Definition of J.O.B. is Just Off Broke

“Money to money”, is what my mother always said. History lessons on the “Making of the English Working Class” and books like “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists” confirmed her Millionaire Money reality in my mind. It was not possible to become rich unless you were born to money, or became a celebrity.

I came from a relatively poor family where money was a huge issue daily; albeit, we had become wealthy enough for the annual holiday to Wales through my parents’ sheer hard work! I live there now, possibly because it was the only time of the year I felt like I was surrounded by riches – although not of a monetary sort, but definitely natural riches!

I have also spent much of my adult life, carrying the mindset of my father – “get a good education and you will be made for life”. Well that was only partly true; trouble is we worry about the formal education of children and forget that we are meant to be ‘Lifelong Learners’. Truth is, Bellamy’s lessons in nature on TV were as valuable as any education which got me a paid job. My formal education never earned me the riches wildlife gave me that’s for sure!

But I digress…the point is, that for twenty years of my adult life, I have got up at a fixed time every day, worked like a dog and drove home, often too exhausted or still too broke to enjoy the fruits of my labour…. All of that time, out of the corner of my eye, I watched the millionaires who had all the money and the fun…….and whose lives were a mix of intrigue and jealousy to me.

So I did what many poor people do to cope with going without. I counted my blessings instead of my pennies and got on with keeping the house and garden, which I now ploughed all of my energy and limited finances into….growing fruit, to keep down my shopping bills and fighting off slugs and snails competing for my veg, staying on top of the latest house-owner calamity!

After a life-changing car accident, it seemed almost overnight my perspective started to change. I started to read different books whilst I was recovering. … OK, reader, I feel the need to say for the record at this point, that I am a caring humanitarian at heart; I believe in the greater good, shared humanity, justice and equality as far as it can go. Yet here was I starting to read about the “entrepreneurial mindset” from the likes of T. Harv Eker, and listening to those I had always considered selfish, materialistic, tax evading, thieves of the public purse to the detriment of those in need. How come I was starting to agree with some of their views of the world?

For months as I continued to improve my financial literacy , I discovered that so many millionaires are actually just people with a passion who were driven and persistent in making their dream a reality. When the market was ready for what they had to offer and their passion for what they promoted came together, they made a killing. This is the point at which my mother was right… when they had spare investment finance , they put their money to work for them, ‘leveraging’ even more wealth.

Now that I too was ready to find a new way to make a living for myself, I had to consider new options. As I was now passionately committed to being a wealthy woman in retirement, there was only one option…drum-roll please…I had to BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR! Yep, little ‘socialist’ me wanted to make money and make the best of the capitalist economy I was part of!!! Survival money was no longer enough. My dreams had got bigger…

And I hope you are wondering how a person can apparently change direction so dramatically. Have I sold out? Well, here’s why; not only did I want a retirement in poverty, I also wanted to make more money to SHARE MORE OF IT AROUND. Of course I also want buy myself some well-earned freedom of time to enjoy my good fortune … but an entrepreneurial mindset does not just mean making money for money making’s sake. Wealth is a tool for good as well as bad.

But, Rome is not built in a day, right? And I am pretty used to set-backs, so I have definitely got one of the cucial entrepreneurial mindset traits and that’s tenacity…that dogged determination to persevere in order to get what I want once my mind is made up…against the odds if necessary.

So, then…how does someone like me make millionaire money and create my own wealth, despite lack of hereditary wealth or family support to count on, let alone any capital?

I started with spending what little money I had on the education in financial literacy that I never got in school. I bought books by: T. Harv Eker , Robert T. Kiyosaki, Stephen R. Covey and then Stuart Lichtman…..

And this…I sincerely believe is where ‘the change’ in my mindset really started…I had thought that how to make millionaire money was a mystery I would never understand…except, now I know different. To become wealthy still can be a process even whilst the rich continue to get rich and the poor continue to get poorer.

Stuart Lichtman has proved this to me in one single exercise… Picture this: It is my brother and sister’s birthday one week before the magic materialised for me. I was determined to stay positive that day for them, making mental efforts not to let the fact that I was nearly a month into my business and had not made one single sale yet put a downer on my enthusiasm on their day.

That morning, I got stuck into what seemed at first like a ridiculous and humiliating materialisation exercise in the first of a series of Stuart Lichtman’s mindset training ebooks I bought. 12 sides of A4 later, with the same few sentences written 100 times repeatedly, I focussed on being positive for that day, even if I needed a little help to do it! I chose the right guy, that’s for sure!

It took me a whole week to realise that within my first month of being in business, I got my credit that day….and the funny thing was…..I didn’t even realise it because I was so used to reading the ‘Debit’ column on my bank statement, I unconsciously moved what was a credit into the ‘yet another drain on my expenses’ column! Not until seven days later, did I see it for what it really was!

This simple occurrence, described by a friend as ‘coincidence’, lifted the mystery of making millionaire money into the light of science of the everyday for me…AND made an IMMEDIATE AND REAL MATERIAL CHANGE TO MY BELIEF in the POSSIBILITY that I could BECOME WEALTHY if I used the strategies Lichtman recommends… It was like magic! One small shift in material circumstances made the difference to my mindset . It reinforced my commitment to keep going.

At the time of writing this, I have hardly really begun Lichtman’s mindset training but, I am so excited I want to run up and down the street, knocking on doors to tell complete strangers!…As that is actually excitement taking over, however, instead I am calmly going to share with anyone reading this the truth contained in the first of the books that came with Stuart Lichtman’s series of e-book courses on how to get whatever you want FAST (not just money).

That truth I want to share is this fact: making millionaire money is neither a mystery nor impossible; it is a science and Stuart Lichtman’s book series are just one way to learn to master it’s principles and how to practise making your desires become real…

Now, if you are sitting there letting this wash over you, or thinking “so what?” as my friend did, I am going to ask that you to do just this one thing… remember when you were a child and the world was still full of magic ?…..Remember, when you got so engrossed in make believe, you forgot who you were and where you were?

Well, that is kind of how I feel about what is happening in my world right now. What’s more, I not only want more of it, I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH AS MANY OF YOU AS POSSIBLE who are also ready to learn to earn and work on your mindset!


Personal result: a "seven-figure opportunity!"

"As an African-American amputee from San Diego
who became an Olympic ski medalist, I have been exposed
to some of the greatest goal-setting techniques known to man.
When I heard about Stuart Lichtman’s new method, I was a little cautious.
But this is like nothing I have ever seen.

"As a result of using this program and
eliminating some unconscious blocks I didn’t know I had,
I have recently been presented with
a seven-figure opportunity. Every day new opportunities
are flying at me. My biggest problem is how to handle
all the new business."

So, if you are curious about what the “entrepreneurial mindset” means, or about how your life would be different if you had more of what you wanted out of life, or maybe you wonder sometimes about chance and coincidence, even as you wrestle with your scepticism … Well for the sake of that mini-you person, who still lives right there inside you…or for that little person who still wants to go to the sweet shop / the safari / home of your dreams, but cannot afford it, or for that matter, your family, today is as good a day as any for you to test the science of making millionaire money and taking a step towards turning whatever it is that you really want into reality!

The process starts with taking off the dog tag saying who you think of yourself as and opening books to shift your poverty mindset. If you have questions about whether reading Stuart Lichtman’s series of e-books will work, that’s understandable, I would question too in your shoes and rightly so. BUT if you have read this far, you have some reason why you are interested in this subject. So why not stack the odds in your favour and give yourself a 98% chance of getting what YOU want this one time? (This by the way, is Lichtman’s success rate with thousands of people so far!)

IF you are ready to exercise your mind and broaden your bank account and options in life generally, make a commitment to improving your mindset. Making millionaire money is only part of the equation, mindset is the trick to maintaining your goals. Nobody achieves anything alone for long; we need our reality to be supported and validated by others. Lichtman has done this for me and more.

Whatever you choose to do, decide to take some action towards achieving your financial goals. You only have one life. Achieving financial freedom by committing to developing your mindset and improving your financial literacy are huge steps towards immunising you to the impact of contemporary economic structures – which as time goes on may in all liklihood prevent you from ever achieving your dreams of real fulfillment for your future and your family.

The global economy is getting tougher for the majority to survive, but you can learn how make it easier on yourself to build your goals and make more money,or go and get what drives you. As time is your only real enemy, Stuart Lichtman offers a tool that can get you closer to where you want to go faster.

Don’t be deceived by the title here; this is a series of ebooks covering the most important areas of anyone’s life. Stuart Lichtman has changed THOUSANDS of peoples’ lives; he is changing mine. If you’re ready to ramp up your efforts, this “>mindset training is for you.
