PS - I invite you to share this post with your friends and family.  I promise you they will thank you for it.

I usually limit my blogging to 3 days a week, but this morning I was so inspired by what I just finished reading I wanted to share it with you right away.

As I mentioned yesterday, I read between 4 and 6 books a week.  I recently completed a book called “Increasing Your Financial IQ - Get Richer By Getting Smarter” by Robert Kiyosaki.  In my opinion it is a must read for any resposible adult.

The excerpt from the book I read in an article this morning is what inspired me though.  I have adapted it here:

“Learning at an early age that we all have money problems - no matter how rich of how poor we are - is an important lesson.  Many believe that if they had a lot of money, their money problems would be over.  Little do they know, having lots of money just causes even more money problems.

The world is full of people who win millions and then end up deeply in debt just a few years later.

Money alone won’t solve your money problems.  That’s why giving poor peopl does not solve their money problems.

Hard work won’t solve money problems.  The world is fileld with hardworking people who have no money to show for it; hard working people who earn money yet grow deeper in debt needing to work even harder for even more money.

Education won’t solve money problems.  There are plenty fo highly educated poor people.

A job won’t solve money problems.  There are millions who earn just enough to survive but cannot afford to live happy and satisfied.  Many people with jobs can nto afford their own home, adequate healthcare, education, or even set aside enough money for retirement.

What CAN solve money problems is financial intelligence.  The truly financially wealthy take on financial problems and know that solving them will increase their financial IQ.”

I write a great deal about the personal and spiritual growth necessary to experience true and complete success. 

I know from personal experience that having lots of money does not, in and of itself, create the gratification and accomplishment of success.

As I describe in my free reports, “The Secret to Astonishing Entrepreneurial Success“, and “The Secret to an Abundant, Joy-Filled Retirement“, once you find you purpose, you must get into commited action to fulfill it and realize the successful and abundant life you desire.  

I also note in these reports that you will want to do a skills assessment and create an action plan to develop the skills necessary to maximize purposeful accomplishment of whatever you are truly and passionately commited to.

Developing your financial IQ is part of the action process. 

As I wrote about in my article yesterday, there is a champion within you. 

Let me encourage you to take on the Goliath of financial ignorance to accelerate your personal success.

Have an amazing day. 

Gratefully and Sincerely,

 Steve

“Your Success Champion”

PS - Please feel free to comment on this or any article.  I am always open to hearing what you want to know about.

PPS - I will be back on Friday with the next of the 4 Success Saboteurs.

Many of you know I am a great admirer of Tim Ferris’ book “The 4-Hour Work Week“.  It had a profound impact on my views of living successfully as an entrepreneur.

If you have not read it, you should do so immediately.  “The 4-Hour Work Week”

While browsing about Tim’s blog site this evening I stumbled upon a great interview with Michael Gerber.  Years ago a friend of mine recommended Michael Gerber’s book, “The E-Myth Revisted“. 

It was the first of a long line of books I devoured on the topic of creating entrepreneurial success.  The “insights in this book have given thousands of entrepreneurs new control over their businesses” - Success Magazine

In his most recent book, “Awakening the Entrepreneur Within” Michael Gerber “examines how to recalibrate the scale of objectives and other facets of the core entrepreneurial experience.”  This is the context of the interview with Tim. 

There is really no point in me trying to sumerize the interview here.  You should go read it for yourself.  It is great.

Click here to read: “Escaping the Entrepreneurial Seizure: Interview with Michael Gerber“.

I particularly liked what Tim says is the advice Michael gave him:

“Don’t hedge and don’t think small.  I didn’t hold back material for a sequel, I aimed for the top of the top, and I credit Michael’s advice as, in part, responsible for the subsequent success of the 4HWW.  It was that recalibration of ambition that made it all possible” Tim Ferris.

So why is this on my blog?

Here’s why:

While Tim takes the principles of successful entrepreneurship to entirely new levels, the basic premise of Tim’s outrageous success is really pretty simple.

By following a few simple, yet key entrepreneurial success practices, he gets to do what he loves to do, while allowing others to contribute to his success by doing what they love to do.   He does not “go it alone”.   

He not only finds and engages great avenues to outsource those tasks and activities he does not enjoy doing, but surrounds himself with great coaches and mentors to help him remain clear and focused.

As a result, he enjoys the wildly successful, limitless, and abundant life he wants.

Tim is a beacon for what is possible for you.  He is a true champion of success.  Enjoy!

You probably know that Joe Vitale is a mentor of mine. 

In fact, it was my experience in learning from Joe that inspired me to create Champion Success Coaching and document my Champion Success Principles in my forth coming book, ”A Champion’s Principles”.

I have experienced all kinds of miracles in every area and aspect of my life through out the past 18 months, since meeting Joe and learning more about the simplicity of universal law.

I have experience a miraculous cure of what is commonly understood to be a genetic condition called hemochromatosis.  Through the power of intention and clearing memory with Ho Oponopono, my blood iron levels dropped precipitously to optimal levels without performing any of the prescribed phlebomies (giving blood). 

That I am who I am, doing what I am doing, right now, is a MIRACLE.  You might wonder why I say that.  Well, as is often the case, Joe has a great explanation of mircales and what they are on his blog.

Go take a look:  http://blog.mrfire.com/secret/what-is-a-miracle/

The truth is that miracles are everywhere all the time:

“Miracles:  You do not have to look for them.  They are there, 24-7, beaming like radio waves all around you.  Put up the antenna, turn up the volume - snap…crackle…this just in, every person you talk to is a chance to change the world.”  Hugh Elliott

You can and should Expect Miracles each and every day. 

Want more evidence?

Read this short document “Glory In The Highest“.  It is an excerpt from a book entitled “Pronia Is the Antedote For Paranoia - How the Whole World is Conspiring to Shower You With Blessings.” By Robert Brezsny.

Then, reflect on your day today.  How many miracles can you find?

How many will you look for tomorrow?

Think about it and tell me what you think by commenting.
