Change the Way You Think and Live a High Income Life
Posted by: | Comments
Most people laugh at the idea that living a high income life is possible for them, seemingly at the flip of an internal switch. It is hard to think that they could be living the life they dreamed of by following a simple plan and changing the way they think.
Most of us are at places in our lives where a few small changes in us would drastically alter our lifestyle. Unfortunately, we somehow think that we are too old to change the way we look at problems. We even fear changing so much that it paralyzes us in other areas of our lives.
Even the thought of changing how we view things sends us into a panic, but it is most necessary to make corrections in our selves after self-reflection. Self-reflection is a difficult task to master. It is also a very necessary tool in accomplishing one’s goals.
First, change how you see or think about goals and goal setting by understanding that the purpose of setting goals is to accomplish them. Instead of becoming a goal setter, become a goal accomplisher. This will be the beginning of changing how you see things. Read More→
Dispelling a Myth That Will Help You Get Out of Debt
Posted by: | Comments
There are many reasons that most of us have debt. Some debts are unavoidable, like your home mortgage, or car payment. What is common are some attitudes we have about debt, and what is acceptable. Changing the way we think about carrying debt can ultimately help us get out of debt.
One of the most common myths about money and personal finance is that we can or should buy something because we deserve it. We have this false sense of entitlement in regards to our spending that causes us to create debt problems. We think that since we work really hard for something, we deserve to buy it regardless of cost.
This myth can be particularly challenging for those of us who have a tight financial balance. If you are someone who has difficulty saving but generally manages the rest of their finances well, you may buy things on credit and create unnecessary debt. Read More→

Posted by: | Comments
You’ve said I CAN’T. Others have said I CAN’T. You have a sense of what that means. But, what EXACTLY does it mean? It has two possible meanings. But, note that it only has one meaning at a time. So, when someone says to you I CAN’T, they mean either one thing or they mean the other thing. Let’s learn them right now.
The first possible meaning of I CAN’T is “I am unable”.
Examples of when this would be applicable are:

… I can’t defy gravity
In summary, I CAN’T has the meaning that “I am unable” when it refers to that which is physically impossible, or when it refers to that which you have not yet learned how to do. This meaning of I CAN’T is simply a statement of fact. Read More→
Destroy Procrastination and Get Out of Debt
Posted by: | Comments
When you can’t get out of debt, the world seems like a cloud is following you each and every day. It’s hard to focus, and you can’t seem to find a way out. To get out of debt, you probably think that procrastination is your problem. You go about trying to kill the procrastination by forcing yourself to do things that you find dreadful or don’t have the skills to do.
If you want to get out of debt, start identifying the activities you do that keep you in debt. The things that make you procrastinate from paying off the debt. Do you continue to work at a job that you despise? Do you keep going out to dinner because you don’t like to cook? Do you feel a sense of entitlement to buying things because you deserve it?
These are all things that won’t help you get out of debt. They are the causes of procrastination. If you have a job that you don’t like, start looking for one that you do. I had a friend that had a marriage that was on the rocks, and they were unsuccessful in life. He had come to a crossroads that required him to make the decision between taking a high paying job at an office or taking a job that didn’t pay as well doing graphic design with a small company.
