All you have to do is look at the front page of any newspaper to realize that money is at the top of everyone's list of concerns these days.

No one has enough and everyone's compaining about the prices of everything. But yet, the rich just keep getting richer no matter what direction the economy goes. The rich never worry about their jobs. The rich take their vacations, retire well, and really enjoy life. The rich never have to sweat it out and barely get by, like most people.

What's the secret?

Well, I can tell you it's not because these people were born to the right parents, had a fancy degree, or were 'luckier' than everyone else. And it's not buying every "how to make a fortune at ____" book or video course.

I can tell you in my case, when I was a kid, for quite a while, in our main bathroom, there was no toilet... just a 5 gallon bucket. Imagine that... and it WASN'T during the Depression.

Because plenty of poor people rise to levels of incredible wealth. And there are even more stories of people born rich and privileged, who lost it all in a flash. One bad decision after another, after another, after another.

So when our Think Right Now research department tore apart the daily thoughts, attitudes, core beliefs and actions to discover what helped poeple who grew up to be the most successful money earners, savers and investors in the world, we discovered...

> Only 19% received any income from a trust fund > Less than 20 percent came from inherited wealth > 91% never received a dime of income from a family business Surprised?

That's why if you really want to become just like the greatest wealth-builders in the world-those who have more money than they could ever spend, it always starts with their beliefs, attitudes, and actions regarding money and investments.

Examine them, and it will take you about three seconds to see why the most successful people, money wise, have so much financial abundance - while Average Joe is mired in ever increasing debt.

>> First, people with true wealth think of themselves as financial "winners".

The rich believe they are destined to be financially independent, it's part of their self-image. The rich truly believe, way down inside, that a high net worth is their destiny. And nothing can stop them from achieving that goal. It is a core belief that can never die.

>> Second, they make the most out of the resources available to them.

Many people who make average salaries are able to retire rich. How? Because they make it a habit to save money every month - even if its only a $20 bill. Most people who are self-made started slowly and invested more as their profits grew.

>> They beat back threats to their hard-earned wealth.

People with financial abundance have a certain 'street smarts' when it comes to investing their hard-earned money. They listen to their gut and know when something doesn't "feel right". They can smell a 'get-rich-quick' scheme a mile away, and stick with proven financial strategies they understand.

>> They act quickly to minimize losses.

Many people I know who are battered by the stock market leave their money there, hoping if they "wait just a little longer," they'll recoup their investment. But the rich know that could take years to happen - if at all. So its better to cut losses, learn lessons, and move on.

>> Finally, wealthy people have one single mantra when it comes to purchasing power: "what's in it for me." Oh, I know, I'm going to get hammered with emails about that one. Hey, I'm just telling you what the most financially successful people do. Self-made people always got their eye on what they can gain. It does not mean they are selfish. On the contrary, research shows that self- made millionaires give away more money than anyone else.

But it's the WIIFM mindset allows them to have the money to give away in the first place.

They don't buy something because of the designer label. Savvy people buy products only for the benefits they provide. If you want more dough, you should know that most self-made millionaires don't collect material things; it just doesn't interest them. Instead, a high percentage of the rich buy only what they need, and don't waste money on unnecessary luxuries.

Even Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the world lives in a very modest home, not a giant mansion. Now, imagine if you were programmed to think and become wealthy, too? Imagine if you were able to earn more, keep more, and invest like a pro.

Imagine never again chasing after the elusive buck, or living from paycheck to paycheck. Sounds impossible to you now. But take it from me: If it sounds impossible, it will be. When it sounds possible, it will be.

With the right tools, it can and will happen for you. It starts when you replace those deep-rooted beliefs and actions that sabotage your financial success with powerful, wealth-building attitudes that will transform your life like nothing you've ever experienced before.

Love,
Mike
