Introduction...

Accept the challenge and go for your dreams. We invite you to join us on this journey from where we are now to this utopian state we refer to as wealth. What is wealth and why would we or should we want it? Define wealth for yourself by picturing your perfect life. Get very clear about this vision. Perhaps it is being able to stay home with your family and enjoy being a part of your children’s lives. Maybe you have some
project you want to do…write a book or start a foundation for retired racehorses. Maybe you want to make big deals happen…the bigger the numbers the better. You want a seaside mansion and a winter home in the mountains close to the ski slopes. Whatever your vision is you absolutely can and should have it.

Our world is not short on prosperity. There is plenty for everyone. For you to have more, someone else does not have to have less. What prevents us from having wealth is the willingness to not have it. We want wealth but we don’t want to do the things required to acquire it. We accept the status quo rather than embarking on a journey involving change. After all, change can be scary and uncertain.

As we become wealthy how will our lives change? How will our becoming wealthy affect those around us? Will we have the same friends, do the same things, and have the same desires and basic needs? Will people still like us? How will we know when we have achieved wealth and how will we measure this? These are
just a few of the questions that come up as we consider embarking on this journey. At this stage fear can immobilize us. Accepting our current life with unfulfilled desires seems less painful than the possibility of
failing in our efforts to have and be something more.

This journey is for people willing to accept the challenge and go for their dreams. Those of us sharing this information aren’t there yet. We are on the path with you maybe just a few steps ahead. Wealth, to us, is the process of developing assets that produce enough income to pay all your bills and achieve your dreams, whether you work or not. If this definition doesn’t have much meaning to you, hang in there. It should after you finish this journey. You will begin to see why you can’t just get a job, work hard and earn enough money to buy your dream.

Having a financial education is the foundation for being wealthy. The first part of the journey is dedicated
to building that foundation. You will learn the different ways that money flows to you and how to make the necessary changes to get your money working for you. This picture is what wealth looks like on the outside, what everyone can see. This aspect of wealth helps us pay our bills and put more money in the bank than
we take out each month

The second part of the journey is about what wealth looks like on the inside. Nobody sees this but us. The inside of wealth is about facing our fears and having the courage to expand and grow personally. Deep inside our hearts and souls is where dreams are born. Having a dream to nurture gets us up everyday and carries us through life’s ups and downs. Take away our dreams and we are just going through the motions of living.

What about Enlightened Wealth? What if in the process of becoming wealthy we made the world a better place? The path to enlightened wealth is about creating win/win deals for everyone. Network marketing is one example of an entire business system founded on gaining wealth by helping others. As we gain, we have even more to share. We hope this short course will help you make the transition from where you are now to where you want to be a little easier. We hope you will learn to use your money as a powerful tool to create your life vision and to help others do the same.
