When it comes to making money, some just seem to effortlessly bump into money making opportunities and begin to achieve incredible levels of financial success. Everyone else (yep most of society) never seem to unlock the difficult yet rather simple code of financial success. I am not talking holy grail here, just some key distinctions in behavior and habits.
Here are two key reasons why some have figured out how to transcend (or rise above) financial mediocrity and capitalize on money making opportunities.
1. Ask the right questions.
They ask the right questions first of themselves and then others to gain the right answers to move them to the next level. How do they know which are the right questions to ask? They identify their “what.” For example, they ask themselves what their purpose is, what their intentions are, what they want to experience and what they want others to experience by them following their purpose and passion.
Asking “what” brings clarity, understanding, and opens doors once believed to be closed. Once the clouds have parted and the path becomes clear, one can see and feel (you know…that gut feeling) the right questions to ask. Again, I’m not talking voo-doo here, just simple clarity. W live in society where gadgets, information, and entertainment often distract us. Turning off the TV, Internet, and iPhone to stop and gain some clarity can be difficult, yet powerful.
Here are some powerful questions as food for thought:
“What can I do to give, right now?”
“Where can love more?”
2. Gain an Understanding
Those who have transcended medocrity and become financially free, wealthy, rich, or however you define it, set their goals and make financial decisions from a state of understanding rather than bravado.
They gain a deep understanding of their own purpose in life, their passion, and the lifestyle they want to live. They make decisions from this understanding and then design their money, assets, businesses or investments around it.
In contrast, most people rooted in mediocrity find jobs, strive for more income, buy cars, save money and then try to fit their lifestyle around these material things. The average person is in motion, working hard and striving for a better life, but held back because of their false confidence. They are fearful.
They are fearful of:
Losing their job/income. Being poor!
Not being able to enjoy life. Working too hard and long.
The stock market not performing.
Outliving their money.
Starting a business and failing. Making mistakes.
When it comes down to it, a lack of understanding people has people stuck in financial mediocrity. This lack of understanding of one’s purpose in life prevents them from changing their financial results.
To understand how to transcend financial mediocrity and align with money making opportunities, you first must gain an understanding. Understand?
