hen George W Bush said: “This is an impressive crowd: the Have's and Have-more's. Some people call you the elites. I call you my base.” It is always wealth that forms the 'base' of everything ranging from winning friends to being friendly with winning!

Money will only make you more of what you already are. It's an amplifier. If you're a giving and caring person, more money will allow you to amplify your giving and caring. If you're currently greedy or selfish, having more money will just make you more greedy and selfish. If you now frivolously spend every rupee you make, even if you somehow manage to become wealthy you won't keep your wealth. Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. The anologies cited here are true. you tend to team-up with what you are and go on to expand in that direction! The question now is: WHERE does wealth creation begin? the answer is in the title of this article. That's why it's so important to get your life and thoughts in order before you become wealthy. You need to work on your financial mental programming before you work on financial gain. Your mind needs to be trained to think like wealthy people think so you'll act like wealthy people act.

A few words... What is smart thinking? We all know that investing in yourself is smart. However, knowing how to invest in money is smarter. The only way to do this is to empower yourself with the right information and education. This is what makes you better. BETTER! Now that is such a smart word! All efforts must lead to making your life, lifestyle, work, work-style, relationships, and surroundings better. Learn to communicate diverse thoughts aimed at making yourself better... a better human, a better colleague, a better friend, and a better ideagenerator. It is the wonderfully evolving charm of 'better' that has the power to bring all your dreams alive! What will make you better? The answer is simple... keep yourself motivated – always! There is an article on motivation in this newsletter...do read it and let me have your opinion. Have a great time reading the words... and do send ideas on what else to include in ‘The Learner’. This newsletter is for you, after all.

Convince yourself that having wealth is a good thing! Truth is that all those moments where we felt helpless and disoriented, it was a lack of wealth that did it. An unaffordable dream-vacation, missed health check-up at the best hospital, and sending your child to that college abroad are all simple examples. Choosing to pursue financial wealth now, you're insuring yourself against future unknowns as well as creating a future for your present. However, remember that the way to wealth originates from the humble ganglions and synapses that float in the painless cerebral fluid that most of us call the brain! Wealth begins from your thoughts. - an article by Arvind Passey

The Learner

Is wealth a matter of intelligence or inspiration

Motivation is not just a hot buzz word that is bandied around by pedagogues! To be a superstar, each of us must aim to remain motivated and make serious attempts to retain it. Staying motivated is simple when you use these steps. Have faith in yourself and like yourself. Like every good thing in life, the initiation is always with YOU! Remember that your life starts and revolves around you, your faith, and your involvement. On a broader perspective, if everyone has faith in his or her own self the results will be pleasing. This is possible only when you like yourself and the way you accomplish deeds. Set rational, inspirational and quantifiable goals that challenge you. You must have seen the TV advertisement that shows a boy aiming to be a tennis player and later he realizes that his talent lay in playing cricket. This boy turns out to be Dhoni! Now that is an example of rationalizing your target. Performance, if it isn't measurable and based on reality, can tend to give impressions that may not give you the fastest and surest progression. Create a vision for your goals. Create a mental picture of yourself as reaching each goal. What will it look and feel like for you? For example, if your goal is ‘wealth maximisation’, you can study the insights from the right mentor (BIFM), be a part of a group that helps you win the markets (BLB Ltd), look for tips on the internet and through meaningful discussions, and remain focused! Each of these steps will also exist as an image within you and reinforce and strengthen your desire to fulfill your goal.

will generally retard your progression towards your aspired goal. Identify a plan and develop action steps. Goals and aims remain mere abstractions in the absence of a concrete plan! Stay in action daily moving forward towards achieving your goal. Do something every day to keep the momentum going. Think positive! This movement has to be in the real world, which is based on the identification of a tangible and viable plan. Remember that plans are successful only if they are made up of small, achievable steps. Let learning be a continuous process. Read books, articles, listen to tapes or watch movies to build new learning around your goal. New learning brings you to insights which are very powerful. All those happy chemicals- adrenaline and serotonin are stimulated and rush to your brain filling it with excitement and motivation. The key to success and motivation is continuous learning and reaching new insights. This is exhilarating plus its good exercise for your brain. Seek the

When you feel overwhelmed, focus on your goals in solitude. Recall the mental picture of your goal again and again. Write out your goals again. Writing is very powerful and helps you re-align yourself to your aspired aim. It helps you clarify and embrace your goals. Remember what's really important to you and why you want it. The feeling of overwhelm is caused by lack of decision. Putting off making decisions affects your ability to stay motivated. So start making decisions. Remember that feeling overwhelmed by any situation is because of procrastination in decision-making and

support you need. Identify resources that will help you reach your goal and achieve success. Ask for support when you need it. Celebrate each accomplishment as it is important to stay motivated. Search for mentors who have both time and inclination for involved discussions that are based on intelligent expertise. Search for mentors who can really help you get to your dreams!

To conclude, it must be said that reading is beneficial once a certain degree of implementation is initiated. How soon 'not now' becomes 'never' is what every aspirant must be careful about. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what! Get started NOW! With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful. Start now, practice these steps and you will be amazed at the results. Have fun and good luck. (An article by Arvind Passey)
