Do you make lots of money by making things happen,…or….do you struggle through life and just make excuses? Search your soul for the truthful answer to that question.
If you need additional income, then go get it. The money is always available, but you have to go after it. It is not going to just float into your bank account by accident.
Look we live in a free country, The United States of America. You are a free American living in a free country. Our economy was established and still is to a large degree founded and continues to operate under a financial/economic engine known as the Free Enterprise System. The foundational building block of that system is the small business.
Unlimited opportunity to start and build a business of your own and become a participant in the Free Enterprise System is everywhere around you. But, remember that $ucce$$ does not attack. You have to get up off your “rusty-dusty” and go out and make something happen.
Effort always must precede Results.
The United States of America was established in 1776. That was over 237 years ago as of this writing. Making money was the same type of adventure and required the same type of skills then as it does now. The only real difference, of course, is that there is far and away more money to be made today than there was in colonial times.
The real drawback, the real hindrance, then as well as now, remains to be with the individual, his desires, ambition level, and his willingness to work for an extended period of time. You see, together with technology and the speed of doing things today as compared with yester-year, and the type of business vehicles being used to generate wealth,… all else is pretty much the same as it was when America started out. Of course the size and cost of big government, the legal system, the income and other tax structure as well as inflation are significantly different….but….those items simply effect the profit margins,…not the ways and means to be used to create wealth. Those ways and means needed to create wealth is my topic of this discussion.
Napoleon Hill was a great man of our American past. He studied all of his life as to how and why the wealthiest people of the world created their fortunes. He published his findings in a book entitled Think and Grow Rich. Millions of people read the book and many complained that as far as they were concerned it held no valuable secrets, at least that they understood. When pressured by the general public and the press to disclose the secret of becoming rich and wealthy, disgustedly Mr. Hill quipped,….“The secret is in the title….THINK….and Grow Rich.”
The human mind is the most magnificent of all God’s creations. Nothing that man has ever been able to concoct or build can even come close to the capacity and complexity of the human brain.
Sadly, most people don’t ever learn how to properly and efficiently use their own brains. Rarely do they even ask their brains to do anything more than to repeat today that which they used them for, yesterday. God created and gave you your brain to serve you and help you to create and fill the desires of your heart,…your spiritual heart,…your brain.
God created the world and all that is in and on it. That includes man. He provided him everything he will ever need to live a long, happy and well provisioned life. He gave man everything that he would ever need or want. But God left it up to man to obtain and use that which he was given. He left it up to man to figure out for himself how to obtain the blessings and rewards God had created and made available to and for him. God created and gave man the nut, but God will not crack it open for man. He left that task up to man to figure out for himself.
Now the truth is that you do not know what you do not know. Therefore it is up to you to learn and become familiar with what you need to know in order to empower yourself to be able to go out and create and build your wealth. You have to educate yourself, you must read books, periodicals, other forms of written data, or learn from other people who have the knowledge you don’t have and who will teach it to you. You have to find those people. It is your responsibility to find them. No one can do it for you. My suggestion is that you begin to earnestly seek them out by asking lots of questions, keeping your eyes open to good opportunities, and paying attention to the people who come into your life as you go about your daily activities and business.
Keep at the forefront of your thoughts, the notion that your brain was designed as a self-servo mechanism. God gave you a brain to govern and control your life and activities. It is His primary way of communicating with you. He gave you His Power and His Might and His Abilities so that you might be able to use them to fulfill your own needs…what ever those needs may be.
I am often asked, usually by skeptics who have money problems,… how is it possible for me to make such a statement, as I made above, with any degree of authority? I would be glad to answer that question with the maximum amount of authority. I make the statement to you, the man or woman asking it, because God said it in His Holy Word! That is all of the authority I need!
The Bible says in The Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 8, verse 18, NKJV:
(18) “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
That’s It Period!
Oh friends, listen to me. Draw close to God. Be obedient to His instructions. Read His Holy Word daily. Begin to associate regularly with people who know more than you do. Get your life right with God so that you may become obedient to His ways of living. Put yourself into a good position to where God can bless your life.
You do these things and I promise you that you will get God’s attention. I promise you that things will begin to improve in all areas of your life.
Peace and love to all of you……..Poppa Bear
