The Science of Getting Rich – a great little book!

So much of getting rich (or not) relies on our own attitudes, beliefs and habits of mind.  Each person has their own unique journey to make towards their abundance, and it takes more than simply finding the right product or right system.  The mystery of what is inside me which makes my life run the way it does has puzzled me more than the relatively simple mechanics of learning any new system ever could!

I’ve just downloaded and been reading “The Science of Getting Rich”.  This is an old book, written in the early 1900’s, and yet the concepts fit right in with current thoughts being promoted in “The Secret” and other empowering books and movies.  Somehow the author has covered the issue from all angles, so that whatever your obstacle is, you have a chance to see it and do something about it.  I am so happy to have had this book cross my path at this point.  It is giving me the next pieces of the puzzle.

If you feel that you have worked hard enough and are not getting the results you want, I suggest you click and get yourself a free copy of “The Science of Getting Rich“.  Maybe it will hold some pieces to your puzzle too.

How to find success on the internet

Why is it that 97% of internet marketers fail? What sets apart the other 3% which allows them to “win”? And how can we become part of that 3%?

(This is a statistic which is commonly spouted by internet marketers. I don’t know if it is a true statistic, or not, but for the purposes of this story let’s just say they are true. The exact number doesn’t matter.)

From what I can see on the traffic exchanges, there are a lot of people looking for the magic key which will unlock the door to success, and just as many touting their particular product or method as the answer. Yet each proposed solution ends up becoming just another thing which people compete to promote, while the statistics seem not to vary.

What if the key to success is not in finding the “right” approach or the right product? What if all those things which people try so hard to implement and understand are only secondary? What if most of us are looking in the wrong place for the answer?

I don’t know who the “typical” internet marketer is, though I have heard that internet marketers are amongst the richest group of consumers on the internet. Maybe we’re not that rich, just really, really optimistic, eager and hopeful to the point of imbalance.

What is it that makes people jump into the unknown waters of the internet and decide they can make huge money here, when they couldn’t do it in the physical world?

Are we over-reaching ourselves?

Perhaps it is time to look within and find our balance.

There are stories on the internet of “kids” of 21 who have suddenly made a fortune with this or that. I won’t argue and say the claims are false. Maybe some are, probably others aren’t. So if a 21 year old can do it, why is it so hard for others? I know why. A 21 year old is fresh and new, they haven’t yet been dumped on their ass a hundred times in a hundred ways by life, until they no longer have the confidence that they can create or sustain anything. For the battle-weary, the first and most important challenge is to build up our confidence in our own ability to create what we want. This can best be done by taking small steps and seeing results along the way. It is not helpful to make grand and heroic gestures in the hopes of making huge amounts of money. That money will come once we rebuild ourselves from within, and not the other way around.

So, if you choose to be part of the 3% who “succeed”, begin with patience and tolerance for yourself. Develop your trust in yourself again. Know that you too can find success, one step at a time.

Wishing you success,

p.s. Success is doing what you want. This means that only you can decide whether you are successful or not.
