How the Rich and Famous Obtain Their Wealth and Live Their Dreams

Everyone wants to be successful and many people want to be rich. They stand in the background and watch the Bill Gates, the Robert Kiyosakis and the Oprah Winfrey's make it in the world and they wonder what it is that makes people rich. In each case, these people seem to have had an idea that made them money. They climbed the ladder of success with no problem. But they all made it to the top and we wonder how it happened.

Most people think that the reason people are wealthy is because they had a great idea and they ran with it. Others think that the secret to wealth is saving money and investing wisely. You can put in the search terms, "how to be wealthy" into your favorite search engine and you will find thousands of ideas for how to become wealthy and each one will probably be an investment into network marketing.

The point is that anything that you do can eventually build wealth for you, but the way the rich and famous did it was more basic than what is described here: the real secrets to wealth have more to do with attitude, commitment and behavior which are sometimes difficult to achieve for the average person.

What We Know

After researching this issue for a long time we realized that although the rich and famous do have ideas and do create wealth there is no magic crystal ball that tells them what to do. When you talk to them they all say a variation of the same thing. In every case, we talked to the individuals said it was attitude, commitment and behavior that were the reasons they were wealthy. Once they had these three things in place they were able to make good decisions about how to advance their careers and how to move their lives forward.

Commitment and How it Works

In each case the rich and famous start out by committing to what they want. They make a firm decision about what they want and they look at all aspects of it. You might say that they create a plan that says what they want and they detail it from start to finish. They decide what they want and in the amount of time they want it within. They leave a lot of this information to change like the how of getting it. Some wealthy people created a picture of what they wanted by cutting out pictures from a magazine and putting it on poster board so they could look at it often. Other people took inspirational quotes and put them around. They did everything they could to reinforce their commitment on a regular basis.

The Attitude Of Wealth

Each person said that they had the attitude that they were already wealthy. They looked around at the things they wanted that they would have once they had created their wealth and they opened their minds to accepting the wealth. They said that in wanting wealth and accepting it are two different issues. They keep their attitude on the fact that they had a right to have what they wanted and they combined this with their commitment and their behavior towards it.

Behavior

In every single case each wealthy person began certain behaviors that promoted wealth. They talked to financial advisors ahead of time, they saw themselves with lots of money and they did whatever came to them as inspiration. They learned to think differently. Suze Orman, financial coach and author said in her book, 'The Courage To Be Rich', that thinking was as much a part of the work towards wealth as anything else: "The way each of us thinks and feels about our money is the key factor in determining how much we ultimately have".

So the point that everyone makes here is that if you want to be wealthy you have to start thinking differently about money. You also have to stop stressing about it and do the things that will promote wealth. Some of our wealthy people earned money through stocks, others through small business and other ideas but everyone agreed that the only reason they were wealthy was because of their attitude, commitment and behavior.

Finally, all the people we talked to had some sort of understanding of gratefulness. They each said that being grateful for what they had and continuing to be grateful for those things that showed up, whether they labeled it as positive or negative, was a big part of how their wealth happened.
