A Matter of Perspective

by

If the only tool you have, and know how to use, is a hammer, then you

tend to see every situation as being a nail or some other thing that

requires hitting.

The problem that faces most people, when they go about deciding to build

their prosperity, is that they only have a few tools at their disposal.

These tools may not be the correct (or best) ones and so they keep

hammering away and wondering why it is not working.

It often confuses me that people will continue to use tools that do not

work or, at best, are inefficient. Not only that, they accept advice on

what tools to use from people who, themselves, are not prospering.

For example, many people (and maybe you) accept advice from their bank

managers or accountants about how to create wealth. Before you do that,

why not ask them for their financial statements. If they really know how

it works, then they should be the proof.

It seems to me that the easiest way to figure out what the best way to

succeed at anything is, is to look at what those who are already

succeeding are doing or using.

Forget the common knowledge and common sense. What is common is that most

people do not achieve the levels of abundance they desire. If you desire

to have uncommon success and prosperity, you will have to be and do the

uncommon. To end up with an exceptional life, you must be exceptional.

Opt out of the norm.

Examine the lives of those who are succeeding. Then figure out what they

do, what tools they use. And, this does not just apply to financial

success. If you want to be a successful mountain climber, pay attention

to what the best mountain climbers are doing. There is no point in taking

advice from the average hiker, is there?

I just returned from St. Kitt’s where I sailed over to Nevis for lunch on

a 65-foot yacht. The owner and I had time for a little 3-hour chat about

building prosperity. His current project is a $500 million hotel and golf

course development.

Guess what? He considers his most valuable tools for creating wealth, not

to be doing specific things (except maybe going sailing so he can have

quiet time), but rather in building and holding a certain mindset about

possibilities and in creating specific goals.

In other words, being is more important than doing. The most important

tools, he repeats what so many successful people have told me before, are

the quality and consistency of your thoughts and belief.

You have heard me say it before and you will likely hear it again.

" Prosperity comes from belief and thought. " So does paucity. Believe what

you will. Think what you will. Create what you will. Allow your beliefs

and thoughts to be governed by the common and you will end up with what

is common.

What thoughts and beliefs are you holding? These are the primary tools

you use to build your future. If they are not serving you, why hold onto

them? Quit hammering away with inappropriate tools. Change.
