Want To Whip The Competition – Read This First
One of the key components of the formula is to possess a creative mindset rather than having a competitive one. Because by doing so you become more aligned with the forces that will attract your dreams and desires.
Wattles describes this alignment to be harmonious with the purpose of life, which is the further expansion and growth of life itself. That we are all here to create and not compete for what has already been created.
In today’s society it is clear to see why many would be on the competitive plane of thought. From childhood we are conditioned to see what is around us, the limited “visible supply”. We read and see the news of scarce resources; and how talented individuals in the competitive plane become very rich in the business world.
It is then this mindset of lack and limitation; and that riches are amassed by gaining at the expense of someone else, that Wattles describes as ultimately preventing these individuals from being truly rich.
Because by having these pre-dominant thoughts on the screen of their minds, it is also what they are attracting towards them. That sooner or later the Universe will create a situation where these riches will be taken away in the same manner they were obtained, by the competitive dealings of someone else.
Bob Proctor from the movie The Secret has an analogy, which describes this particular situation.
Imagine that you are having a marvelous pie for dessert. And the pie is cut into 8 pieces to serve to everyone at the table. The slice of pie is so good that you really want another piece. But by wanting more you are going to take a slice from somebody else.
Now in order to attract situations of true wealth we must be a creator. And by becoming and thinking as a creator you will get and attract what you want, but in such a way that when you get it, every other person will have more than he has now.
So back to the analogy, instead of taking pie away from someone else, to be on the creative plane, we need to think about making a bigger pie. Which then satisfies your need for more pie and at the same time providing more to everyone else.
Wattles explains that creation is always possible. We need not fear that the best of what we want or need has already been taken away from us. This is because the Universe is limitless and it can create the things or situations we need in order to obtain what we desire.
He asks that we just follow his formula, The Science of Getting Rich, for all who do, will create great wealth.

Where Should We Get Our Money?
This very much reminded me about the time I first learnt Robert Kiyosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant. But Bob's take on it really added another dimension to this whole concept for me.
To re-cap, from Robert's teachings, I understood there were 4 ways an individual can earn income (legally, without winning the lottery or marrying into it). They are namely employment, self employment, business, and investment.
Now to be able to retire rich without having to trade time for it, one must have his/her income, come from either a business or investment. From this we can see that it would probably be best to start out with a business first, as investment usually requires some amount of financial backing to start. You can see this in the fact that 74% of those who were regarded as wealth, created it through a business of their own.
Bob's
version, has 3 strategies an individual
earns income. These include employment,
investment, and lastly multiple streams
of income.
No guesses , where Bob has created his
wealth. It is through multiple streams of
income. He told us during his talk that
he had so many different sources of
income, he has had to get somebody, whose
job it is, to keep track of all the
sources of income.
Now, not all these streams are of the
same size. Some are smaller and others
bigger. The point is to have lots of it,
such that even if you just had small
streams of income, the accumulation of
which, would create you tremendous
wealth.
With Bob's addition, I have been able to
appreciate the concept of income
generation to a new level. I have known
that business was the way to go. But now
my awareness has grown. To accept that we
shouldn't just stop at one business. We
should aim for several.
I already have a business of my own. But
what I like best about The SGR Program is
that it allows me to generate a new
stream if income. One that doesn't take
too much time. Which allows me to explore
other opportunities to develop other
streams of income.
Why Focus On Money First?
Money on its own is neither good nor bad. It is a means to an end. However, there is an urgent need for teaching the laws of creating money to the world.
Take any group of 100 people at the start of their working career and follow them for 40 years until they reach retirement age and here's what you'll find, according to the Social Security Administration:
-
- Only 1 will be wealthy
-
- 4 will be financially secure
-
- 5 will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to
-
- 36 will be dead
-
- 54 will be dead broke - dependent on the meager Social Security checks, relatives, friends and even charity for a minimum standard of living
That's 5% successful, 95%
unsuccessful.
These, of
course, are US statistics. In the rest of
the world, especially the developing
world, the situation is far worse.
It is an unfortunate truth, but, the lack
of money in an individual's life, limits
that person from living his/her life to
its fullest potential.
Note that I am not suggesting in any way
that greed and the hoarding of money is
any complete solution. As financial
freedom is only one of many factors to
truly create a wealthy life. In my mind
there needs to be a harmonious balance
between the below factors to be wealthy:
-
- Finance and Career
-
- Physical Health
-
- Emotional Stability
-
- Social Friendships
-
- Love
-
- Spirituality
But given the statistics above, as a starting point, educating people about creating money is of chief importance. And I am not talking about the kind of education we would normally get via High School, University, or Graduate School education. If that were the case, we would definitely see different statistics.
Sharing and showing people specialized education on how successful and rich people, and on how they got that was is key. By teaching and helping people to create money, it provides them options and the ability to develop the remaining areas of an individuals' life to create true wealth.
With The SGR Program, I know that we will be able to accomplish, not only the task of educating people about creating wealth. But also provide people with an easy and practical way to create income through its affiliate program. It all starts by just sharing this information with others.
