If You Want To Be Rich Do Something Worthy

It is all over television and the internet. We are bombarded with it every day. Get-rich-quick schemes, the next big thing that will make you money; do not buy into it! If you chase money, you will never have any. Instead, do something that matters. Money always follows those that are following their passion. Dr. Thomas Stanley points out in The Millionaire Mind that all deca-millionaires (those with a net worth of $10 million or more) have at least one thing in common - they are all doing something they love. If you want to become rich do not chase money. The money will come to you if you take the time to find out what it is that you like doing, develop a plan of action and begin doing it. Srully Blotnick completed a twenty year study of 1,500 business school graduates. He grouped them into two categories: 1) those who said they wanted to make money first so that they could do what they really wanted to do later after they had taken care of their financial concerns and 2) students who pursued their true interests first, sure that money would eventually follow. Of the 1,500 graduates in the survey, the money-now category initially comprised 93% or 1,245 people. The students who first wanted to pursue their interests made up 17%, or 255 graduates. After 20 years there were 101 millionaires in the group. 1 came from the first category and the remaining 100 came from the second. Are you chasing money in your life, or are you doing what truly matters? Studies show time and time again that those who do what really matter come out much further ahead in the end.
