"Life puts some of the good things on the high shelf and until you qualify, you can't reach them. To reach the high shelf, you must first become the most attractive and valuable person." Jim Rohn
To attract success you must qualify yourself by becoming the most valuable person in the world. First and foremost choose to become the person who you would like to see yourself. It is possible to qualify for big dreams because it is simple and easy to become the most significant individual if you follow certain disciplines everyday.
Bill Gates qualified himself for big dreams though he didn't graduate from the university. How is that possible? Yes, of course, that was within his capacity to aim for the big job. He first chose to become the most valuable person in the world; he became qualified and educated person in the field he loved most. There are others who have significantly grown big and achieved big results by following the same simple rules. You can qualify for big roles if you choose to become the person of high capability and value.
Your value will increase if you knowingly choose to be a great person first. Become qualified and informed first and you will be surprised to see the good things flowing towards you.
Steve Jobs is another example who qualified for the big dreams by becoming the most valuable person. He practiced and followed his interests and new path of success opened for him too.
The soccer teams get selected for the world cup only because they qualify by playing some matches outstandingly. If they don't qualify themselves first by becoming outstanding team, they don't participate in the world cup. Only those teams which qualify can partake in the match. It is obvious that you must choose to become the most qualified person, most learned and informed individual on earth so that you can reach the top level of success, wealth, health, happiness and lifestyle.
The singers and musicians are famous because they qualified for the big dreams by becoming first the most valuable person in their field. They worked hard on themselves. They refined their singing and playing skills. They practiced many times till they became what they were looking for. Become first the most valuable person to reach the things of high value and quality. You can do it too.

Shake Off negative and toxic people from your life!
The trees shed off their leaves every year in order to have new leaves for the new year in the same manner snakes too shed off their old skins to welcome the new one. For nature shaking off old things come naturally but for humans it takes conscious efforts to do that.
People must upgrade constantly their circle of friends, associates, employers, clients and those who are poisonous in nature. The toxic people affect us so much that even an exposure of brief moment can influence our thinking, believing and action. Here are some good questions to ponder about our association with such people.
1. Who are you around?
Ask yourself every now and then, who am I around? Take a stock of people who you spend your most time with. What kind of people are they? Are they negative and toxic or are they positive? The saying goes, 'show me your friends and I will tell you who you are and what you are learning and getting in life.'
Near my house there is a college and a lot of students are studying there. The students are very young yet seem to know many things. I have observed some strange behaviours among these students. Whenever I see them in groups I notice one thing, they all smoke cigarettes, eat marijuana and sniff something. There is no one student who doesn't smoke or drink. All these students go to college not to study but hang around with their peer groups and you can understand the influence they have on each other. They seem to know the consequences but they are caught up in the powerful web of negative influences that they all have ended in becoming 'the birds of a feather flock together.'
The similar circumstances exist in the offices all over the world. The working people have families, children and parents to take care of but they all forget about them and indulge in negative environment. Think deeply, who are you around most of the time? You will be like them and probably you will die the same way.
2. What are they doing to you?
When we associate with people with poisonous character, we tend to assume their personality, philosophy, beliefs, values and lifestyle. You know, they influence us and condition us so much that we begin to be like them. If they are broke, you will be broke; if they are smart and rich, you will be smart and rich; if they gossip and criticize, you will follow their steps and manners. So think about your circle of friends and associates, neighbours etc. to solve this problem.
The students who smoke cigarettes, eat marijuana etc. are doing what their friends are engaged in. After they graduate from the university they will continue in the workplace too. It is a never ending process. Instead of shaking off their negative friends they are holding on to them.
3. What have they got you reading?
People who are negative will influence you to do what they do, say what they say and read what they read. If they are angry, you will be angry more often. If they don't read books which could change one's life, then you won't read books too. Associate with positive and optimistic people who encourage and empower to pursue your dreams and goals. Go after your dreams and in order to achieve your goals learn to read some good books.
Reading books facilitate people to achieve what they want in life and so it is better to read books that could lead you to success and not failures.
4. What have they got you saying?
When you associate with negative people, your speaking style and vocabulary will be matched together because you will have acquired their skills through repetition. If the toxic people abuse and say bad words, you will follow their suits too.
The language becomes very negative and harsh when you meet people who are exposed to negative environment. They hardly show respect and politeness. Think about the young students, who are engaged in bad habits, they hardly bother to show some courtesy to throw the cigarette buds in the trash can rather they all dump them wherever they smoke.
5. Where do they have you going?
Negative people won't let you achieve your goals. They won't let you go where you decide to go because if you want to go somewhere, they will dissuade you from doing something good.
The toxic people pull you down and break you down from going and pursuing your goals and dreams. They will instantly say to you that the things won't work and won't do much. You would tend to agree with them because you have been influenced by their attitude and thinking.
6. What do they have you thinking?
The negative oriented people think only negative thoughts, ideas and life. They don't think positive as a result they don't get what they want. It is very subtle and easy to get involved in the negative atmosphere.
Your thoughts, mindsets and attitude will shift from positive to negative. You won't think you could accomplish much in life. You will then resign to mediocre lifestyle which you will loathe later in life. You will begin to curse once you are married with wife and kids because you would be failing to achieve what you wanted. Feed your mind with good stuffs, associate with people who are going somewhere and you can move ahead in life too.
7. What do they have you becoming?
Most importantly the negative people don't assist you become what you want to become. They help you become negative and poisonous but they don't really change your life for better. The reason you should shake off old negative people from your life is that by spending your time with them you are letting them make you unsuccessful and negative. They are controlling your life and not you.
Don't give away your power to somebody who can't live a life for you. You must live your own life. But beware of what you are becoming while you associate with negative environment.
The person you become will affect you for the rest of your life because you will be reaping the same results again and again. If you think that will make you happy then you can continue to associate yourself with the negative environment. However personal experience and knowledge show that living a life like that is hard.
The best thing you can do is to shake off people who are negative and toxic because they are doing you only harm.
When you have negative people around you, you must ask yourself the important question, "is that okay? is it alright for you to associate with negative people or is it better if you shake them off from your life? The choice is yours.

Employ These Powerful Leverages To Attract Success, Money, Health, Happiness, Peace, Love & Relationship!
Successful men and women all over the world apply different leverages attract whatever they want to be, do, have and enjoy. Without the leverages, no one can expect to rise up in life. Leverages are tools to reach one's targets and one person can have as many tools as he or she wishes to employ because leverages facilitate people to accomplish their goals and mission. Here are some of the important tools to consider.
1. Learn by reading Books.
People who are prosperous, rich, wealthy and happy obtained their shares of good things of life by learning from books. They read books on varieties of subjects and they stumbled upon some secrets or laws to produce any results they wanted to achieve. They followed this tool and today they are looked upon as role models, successful and rich. They made it to the top because they read books and acquired knowledge and information, which they converted them into leverages to attract wealth, health, peace, happiness, love and good relationship.
You can too read good books which can change your life for better. There are many people who have read certain books and brought about a great transformation in their life. Books enlighten and give direction to those who read them. For example-
Rhonda Byrne the author of the secret and the power, changed her life for success, abundance, prosperity and happiness after reading a book or many books. She was enlightened by reading the book called "The science of getting rich."
Narayan Murthy the founder of Infosys company, in his book "A better India, A better World" mentions how the direction of his life changed after reading some books or documents related to computer.
Anthony Robbins too changed his life after reading certain books and today he is famous, successful helping people all over the world.
Likewise, there are many people who have changed the direction of their life after reading some books. If you start this process, you can change your life for success, money, health, wealth and love too.
You only need to buy one book or enroll yourself in a library and borrow one book to kick start off your transforming journey.
2. Listen and learn from various audio programs.
Another tool that is very powerful is listening to different audio programs, which are available today in every book shop. These audio programs are powerful leverages that could open a door for many opportunities.
Those who don't like to read books, they can learn from listening to some valuable audio books. It is a great way of learning process and it is effective. Even if you don't have separate time for listening, you can listen while driving or traveling to office. You can make the best use of your time. Today people have mobile phones and most of them are equipped with MP3 players and you can download the audio books and listen as many times as you want. You will learn more than you learned in the school or colleges. You will gain the knowledge equivalent to 5 Phds.
3. Watch and learn from Videos.
If you are an individual who can't read or listen to audio books, then you have another alternative leverage to employ for your personal improvement. Watching videos are too very effective tools to change one's life. You can watch any movies or documentaries that teach you something valuable for life. You must watch videos which are educative, informative and inspiring. You mustn't watch any movies that entertain you because if you do so you will get entertained and miss the learning aspects that could change your life for success, wealth, happiness.
The movies like "The secret, The compass, Try it on everything" etc. could enlighten your mind to start with. They are effective if you believe they will work for you and if you are doubtful and cynical then they won't work for you. Remember all tools can work miracles for you if you believe them, feel them to be real and think that they are true for you. Don't listen to others who say or comment that they don't work. Yes, may be it didn't work for them but don't go by their opinions because it may work for you, who knows.
4. Attend and learn from live seminars.
Many of you, I guess, have university degrees and are proud of having the certificates. I am a gold medallist myself and I know what it feels to have one. But that is not everything. Academic education is different than what you learn when you attend the live seminars. In the seminar, experts and experienced men and women in respective fields, teach and share the wisdom pertaining to the real life and real education that could change your life.
We don't learn what we want in the schools and colleges.The seminars give us everything that we want to know about certain areas of life. There are many successful people who conduct seminars and you can attend any one and benefit from that. When you attend the seminar it will be an enlightening moment for you. Once you are enlightened, you will be inspired and empowered to take the action to realize your objectives.
5. Learn from guides, coaches, mentors and role models.
The final tool is very important in life. You can't achieve success much, if you don't have correct people in your life. You can't do much, if you don't associate with people who encourage, motivate, guide, empower, coach and mentor you directly or indirectly.
This leverage works when you have found your own guides, coaches, mentors and role models in areas you want to improve or succeed.
Jim Rohn, the famous American business coach, philosopher and businessman, changed the direction of his life when he met a man who became his mentor. His mentor was successful, rich and happy and Jim Rohn eventually became successful too.
There is power and magic in having your own guides, coaches, mentors and role models. Find out who do you admire and love? Who do you want to be like? What do you want to do that others have done? What do you want to accomplish that others have already achieved? How do you want to live that others are already living the lifestyle?
These are some of the important tools you can employ to attract success, money, health, happiness, love and relationship. You can't miss if you apply them daily but you can miss success, money, health, happiness, love and good relationship if you don't follow these disciplines. Tools are recommended and explained to you and it is up to you to apply in your life. There is a saying that says, 'we can take the horse to the water but we can't make it drink.' I have presented to you some life changing powerful leverages, hopefully you apply them and take steps to attract good things that you desire.

Are You Letting Others Steal Your Dreams?
"Don't let anybody steal your dream." –Dexter Yager
Each one born into this world has a dream, a purpose and vision to accomplish. Having a dream is not a crime rather not pursuing one's dream is a kind of crime.
When you were little kids, you shared your dreams with parents, relatives, friends, neighbours, teachers and others. You always thought your dreams were real and possible to reach. But people with whom you shared your dreams, reacted differently. Some right away encouraged you to follow your dreams, some others thought you were only kids so your dreams didn't matter much while others just stole your dreams by discouraging you.
People live and die with their dreams unfulfilled and unaccomplished because they don't have confidence and courage enough to pursue their dreams. So it is good to ask a question today, are you letting others steal your dreams? Have you followed your dreams and have you already achieved them?
Who steals your dreams?
When you share your dreams with parents, siblings, relatives, friends, teachers all of them either they allow you to go after your dreams or they just steal your dreams. You can be so innocent to share all your desires and dreams with others thinking that they will approve and encourage you to pursue them. But it is not the reality. The truth is that when you talk about your dreams, your parents, friends or teachers sow the negative seeds of impossibility and take you off the right course.
I remember a teenager who shared with me her dreams to own the ice-skating amusement park in the countries where there is no snowfall. She sketched how to make snow through out the year and how and why people would visit the park. Above all it was her dream there was nothing wrong or right about it. When I listened to her dreams, I was impressed. I quickly encouraged and told her that the dream was great. The dream emanated from her heart and she believed she could realize it. I then asked her to share the same dream with her mom so she agreed to tell her mom. She was excited and motivated enough. She didn't have any idea what her mother would think and tell her about the dream.
One day the teenager told her mother about the dream but she didn't get an encouraging response. Her mother told her that the dream was impossible, it needed huge capital and she didn't have any money and the dreams were so unrealistic that she wouldn't be able to realize it in her lifetime.The teenager gave up her dream immediately when her mother didn't think possible. The next day I asked her whether she had spoken to her mother about her dreams and she said yes but her mother thought the dream was not possible so she gave up.
This is how your dreams get stolen by your own people whom you trust, respect and love. Similarly thousands of dreams have been stolen all over the world without being fulfilled. Your friends too steal your dreams by telling you why and how the dreams are not possible. You believe them and compromise with your original dreams. You then try to fit in anywhere though you don't like them.
How you let others steal your dreams?
You let others steal your dreams by not believing yourselves, your ability and talents. You think others know more than you so you believe their comments and opinions accepting them to be true. The teenage girl believed her mother because the girl loved and respected her mother.
We must share our dreams with people who we think are good and positive. Even if we share with others, let's keep in mind all that others say matter less than what we say to ourselves in the silence of our heart. What others say are their opinions and views. We mustn't be carried away by them.
There are people who are very strong in giving their opinions and comments but they are not good for you.You must do your own research and study to modify or correct your dreams. Others don't see what you see so they won't have any idea about your dreams. You know better and more than they do so please follow and pursue your dreams till it is achieved.
When do others steal your dreams?
Your dreams are stolen when you are not confident and when you don't believe yourselves enough. Others steal your dreams when you share with anybody without much thinking how others reaction would affect you. I guess you must be strong and firm in your dreams. You mustn't give up by all means though you may not realize them immediately.
Others steal your dreams when you don't value your ability and talents. You need to consider your dreams, purpose and vision important. So share with people who will encourage and motivate you to go after the dreams.
Others kill your dreams when you don't learn continuously how others who are successful realized their dream. You must cultivate a habit of learning and educating yourself from all 360 degree angles.
Why you must follow your dreams?
There are many reasons why you must follow your dreams. One of the first reasons is that your dream reflects your true self and your real lifestyle. The dreams represent who you are and what you are. So you must pursue them.
The world is filled with people who have pursued their unique dreams and there are others who didn't pursue them. Those who didn't pursue their dreams died and went to the grave without realizing them. There are many examples of people who have pursued their dreams and accomplished them. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Colonel Sanders, the Wright brothers, Henry Ford, Mahatma Gandhi, and many successful men and women who you can learn from.
Never ever give up your dreams because you can realize them at an appointed time. You will reach your goals and realize the dreams that you have. So don't let others steal your dreams. Dream killers are many but those who make them real are few so better make up your mind to pursue your dreams till it is done. Believe that you will succeed in realizing your dreams.

You let others steal your dreams by not believing yourselves, your ability and talents. You think others know more than you so you believe their comments and opinions accepting them to be true. The teenage girl believed her mother because the girl loved and respected her mother.
We must share our dreams with people who we think are good and positive. Even if we share with others, let's keep in mind all that others say matter less than what we say to ourselves in the silence of our heart. What others say are their opinions and views. We mustn't be carried away by them.
There are people who are very strong in giving their opinions and comments but they are not good for you.You must do your own research and study to modify or correct your dreams. Others don't see what you see so they won't have any idea about your dreams. You know better and more than they do so please follow and pursue your dreams till it is achieved.
When do others steal your dreams?
Your dreams are stolen when you are not confident and when you don't believe yourselves enough. Others steal your dreams when you share with anybody without much thinking how others reaction would affect you. I guess you must be strong and firm in your dreams. You mustn't give up by all means though you may not realize them immediately.
Others steal your dreams when you don't value your ability and talents. You need to consider your dreams, purpose and vision important. So share with people who will encourage and motivate you to go after the dreams.
Others kill your dreams when you don't learn continuously how others who are successful realized their dream. You must cultivate a habit of learning and educating yourself from all 360 degree angles.
Why you must follow your dreams?
There are many reasons why you must follow your dreams. One of the first reasons is that your dream reflects your true self and your real lifestyle. The dreams represent who you are and what you are. So you must pursue them.
The world is filled with people who have pursued their unique dreams and there are others who didn't pursue them. Those who didn't pursue their dreams died and went to the grave without realizing them. There are many examples of people who have pursued their dreams and accomplished them. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Colonel Sanders, the Wright brothers, Henry Ford, Mahatma Gandhi, and many successful men and women who you can learn from.
Never ever give up your dreams because you can realize them at an appointed time. You will reach your goals and realize the dreams that you have. So don't let others steal your dreams. Dream killers are many but those who make them real are few so better make up your mind to pursue your dreams till it is done. Believe that you will succeed in realizing your dreams.

The Five Laws of Money, Abundance, Prosperity, Freedom and Happiness!
People who have more money, abundance, prosperity they know well the laws of money. The wisdom of the ages do provide us with a helping hand to live a prosperous, rich, free and happy life. We may have traveled much, learned much, laboured much and earned much but if we have little money then we have been following unwise advice.
People have more money when they know the five laws of money and adhere to them. However wealth that comes quickly goes the same way, as the saying goes. George S. Clason said, "wealth that stays to give enjoyment and satisfaction to its owner comes gradually, because it a child born of knowledge and persistent purpose."
These five laws of money are important and meaningful today more than ever for people who are messed up in life with regards to money transactions. It can help the young people who are just stepping into the real world and the couples or singles who are already in the world experiencing tough times.
The First of Law of Money
"Money comes gladly and in increasing quantity to those who will put one-tenth of their earnings to create an abundance for their future and that of their family."
If you plan to pay yourself first one-tenth after every paycheck consistently, invest it wisely and follow this plan minutely, the plan will bring you future prosperity. Set aside that percentage of your income as yours to keep. Those who do keep one-tenth and don't spend is good for their families. But those who spend it are indifferent to their families. And still those who have not saved anything are unkind and disloyal to their families.They don't seem to love themselves and their lovely families.
The Second Law of Money
'Set aside the seven-tenths of all you earn to provide for you and your family a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, cars to buy, vacation and entertainment to have so that you don't miss any enjoyment and pleasure.'
Keep in mind that you should not spend more than seven-tenths of what you earn for these essential things of life. You must live upon the allotted portion and never use more or buy what you may not be able to pay for out of this portion. This is a great secret for those struggling financially.
"Money works and labours diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable jobs."
Many of us know that only humans must work. It is not so today. Your talents, skills, ideas, thoughts, plans, qualification, training, money, patents, royalties, dividends, interests and profits etc can work as hard as you leverage them according to your capacity.
Money is a willing worker. It is ever ready to multiply when opportunity comes. It is a known and accepted fact that those who have the habit and discipline of setting aside a portion of their total income, nice opportunities present themselves for more profitable investment returns.
The Third Law of Money
'The two-tenths of all you earn should be divided honorably and fairly among all your creditors who you are indebted.'
When you divide equally the two-tenths to pay back your debts, any amount of debts could be easily paid without much pain and stress or struggle. Your banker won't threaten or blackmail you if you come up with a proposal to pay every month or quarter some fixed amount. You must write down all the names of people from who you borrowed money for your personal needs and allocate the money fairly. Mark my word, in due time you will have paid back all your creditors.
"Money clings and protects the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of wise men who deal with such investments themselves."
Money stays with the wise owner but flees the careless owner. The wise owner learns as much as he can from other experts and follows his own gut and intuition to discern its truthfulness.
The Fourth Law of Money
Money slips away from those who invest it in businesses which they are not so familiar with or which are not approved by those skilled and wise people.'
The inexperienced owners or those who don't educate themselves about the financial matter, lose their hard earned money in mutual funds or stock markets. Mutual funds and pension funds are not the best investment portfolios because they are highly risk oriented. You don't have any direct control over your investment. You handover your money to the third party and pray for the money to work hard for you. When the stock market crashes, you can do nothing than to sit and cry over the loss.
The Fifth Law of Money
'Money flees those who force it to work hard and bring impossible earnings and dividends or who follow the tempting advice of frauds and schemers or who trust their money to their own inexperience and romantic desires and fancies.'
If you have followed these five laws of money, you can have abundance, prosperity, wealth, freedom and happiness. Be true to pay yourself one-tenth, pay seven-tenths to run the family, and pay two-tenths to all your creditors fairly to pay off your debts. Once you have paid back all your debts, your burden will be light and you will feel energetic and free to live a great life once more.
Remember, 'in the strength of your own desires lies a magic power. Follow this power with your knowledge of the five laws of money and you shall be able to inherit almost everything that your heart truly desires.

To be rich and financially free follow 'the Law of Opposites'!
"Find out what most people are doing and then do the exact opposite". Jamie McIntyre
People who succeed are those who do just the opposite of others or do things differently. To be successful you must learn to follow the law of opposites to see a great difference in your life. Let's explore some of the opposites.
Mind your own businesses than others.
95% of world population work for others minding others' businesses than their own while 5% of people work for themselves and mind their businesses. This is how the world is operating today by the law of opposites. It is like the king who would always think about maintaining his own power and dominion over his people and enjoying the greatest benefits of life than his own people.
To become rich and financially free, you must do the opposite things to your counterparts. When you choose to do things differently than others you gain an edge over others. By following the law of opposites you can create lifestyle of your dreams. We must see what are the opposites that affect us so much.
Profits are better than wages.
By experiences and knowledge we know that working for profits mean more than wages but how many people do really care enough to pursue this path. Those who pursue are the people who have become rich, successful and wealthy. They followed the law of opposites and did just the opposites. When majority of people worked hard to earn wages, they chose to find ways to earn profits so that they could realize their own dreams.
Being a bank is better than a customer.
When you loan the banks your money in the form of deposits they consider it as savings and pay you less interest; on the other hand, if the bank gives you a loan, they lend you with high interest rates. Who has got more edge? Obviously, it is the bank. The banks are there not for the customers but for the banks alone. They play by different rules than the customers. But how many people really would like to do just the opposites? There are only very few people who understand the laws of nature and the human world.
Formal education and Self-education.
The academic education provides people jobs and jobs in turn provide a living. If people don't work at jobs they won't be able to feed themselves and their survival will be bleak. But people who seek self-education, they get inspired and empowered to make a fortune for themselves. The large number of population values formal education while few value self-education. Those who do the opposite gain much in life.
Pay oneself first or pay others first.
After getting the pay, people have a choice to make whether to pay for oneself first or pay others first. Those who understand the law, they prefer to pay themselves first one tenth of their income than the others who don't pay themselves first rather pay for everyone. If you want to become rich and lead an abundant life you must do just the opposite. Pay yourself first one tenth of your total income. The rich follow this honestly.
Acquire assets first than liabilities.
The rich know that assets that bring money in their pockets are more important than the liabilities that take money out of their pockets. They spend their time, energy and money in acquiring assets that would bring constant cash flow through out their lives but the poor and middle class buy liabilities that don't ensure future financial freedom. The rich understand the difference between the good debts and bad debts and follow accordingly.
Life would be transformed if we did things differently than what we used to do. If you have the habit of wasting your time and you decide to make use the best use of your time, you can easily see a great change coming on your way for better. Learn to think differently, talk differently, read and learn from others, take actions and you will be a great success in your life.

The Cures for the Empty Bank Balance! (Part three Concluded)
In the first and second articles I highlighted some of the cures for the zero bank balance or lean purse. We all of us have desires and ambitions for wealth, prosperity and abundance. There is nothing wrong in having those desires and ambitions as long as we pursue with good sense. We need to adhere to these cures in the time of recession. These cures have personally helped me tremendously and I am richly rewarded by developing my skills and powers. Hopefully, they do for you too.
1. Find out what you love and work with diligence everyday.
2. Pay yourself first one tenth of your total income to achieve financial abundance and fortune.
3. Pay others second the nine-tenths of your total income
4. What do you desire the most assets or liabilities?
5. Teach yourself to control the unnecessary expenses on your desires.
6. Make your money work and multiply for you.
7. Protect your money and treasures from loss.
8. Increase and Develop your ability to earn.
"Work harder on yourself than on your job. If you work on your job you make a living, but if you work on yourself, you get a fortune." Jim Rohn
This is one of the most vital remedies for a lean purse. It is important to talk of things within the human minds which can work for or against our success. Your desires and ambitions should be strong and definite to earn first in small sums, then in larger ones as you learn and become more capable.
As you refine and improve yourself in your vocation so will your ability to earn increase. May be you need to cultivate more interest in your work, more concentration upon your task and more persistence in your effort. It is said,"The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn." The person who seeks to learn more of his craft shall be richly rewarded.
Jim Rohn was right when he said, "To have more than you have got, you've got to become more than you are." To have more, to earn more, you must become more skillful, more knowledgeable, more educated and more refined to attract more abundance. Wealth rarely comes to people who don't become more to earn more. For instance, poor people remain poor because they don't become more qualified, skillful and valuable to the market place to attract more prosperity.
So remember to improve yourself first to attract more wealth so that you can control how you want to live. The remedy for an empty bank balance is to cultivate your own powers, skills and become wiser, become more qualified and valuable.
