How Personal Grooming Attracts Wealth
By Michael A Thomas

I was just recently in the barbershop, getting my weekly trim, when I happened to get in a discussion with some people in the shop.

We all agreed on the old adage, “When you look good, you feel good.” I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, but something hit my mind on a deeper level.

Learning about the law of attraction, I know that when you when your thoughts and emotions are positive, they will beget positive things for you. You will then be more of a magnet for more positive things.

I thought about how this applies to personal grooming. After a haircut, you look good and feel good. It gives you the feeling that you can do just about anything and succeed.

In contrast, when you haven’t gone to the barber in a while, or even after a few days of not shaving, your mind tends to get into a lax state. When you look in the mirror, it gets reinforced…until your next trip to the barber.

Ever since I realized that top-notch personal grooming helps attract positively, I made sure to schedule weekly haircuts and shaving every day. It definitely makes a big difference.

Personal grooming helps you attract wealth because it helps to have positive thoughts and emotions. Transfer those positive thoughts and emotions to desiring money, and you put the process of wealth attraction into motion.

Wealth Magnetism Basics: What’s Your System for Building Wealth?
by Michael A. Thomas

Implementing a system for building wealth is not as difficult as it may seem. It will take work to perfect, but it can be done.

To give you an example, try tying your shoes. You’ll notice that you usually tie them in the same way, every time. That’s a system. Your mind has been programmed perform a task a certain way, and you follow it until a different system for that task is implemented.

Your mind works in the same manner with your system for wealth magnetism. Although you may not have thought about it to date, you currently have a system in place for building your wealth. The question is, does it need some tweaking?

Here are some basic guidelines for any system of wealth:

Define what you want:“When it comes to building wealth, there is no one correct way. You have to establish in your mind exactly what you want to achieve before you can take any action.

Make your goals specific as possible. You cannot build wealth by saying “I want to make lots of money.” If you want a late-model Ferrari and private jet, or if you want to take vacations when you feel like, so be it. The clearer the picture is in your mind, the better.

Develop an action plan: This is a crucial part of building wealth. How are you going to make your money? How are you currently generating income? Do you have any debt? If so, how do you plan to pay it off? These are just a few things that need to be addressed in your wealth action plan.

Save, Save, Save: This is an oldie, but goodie. To build wealth, money cannot be burning a hole in your pocket. It turns out mom was right…

Discover: There are many different avenues to do so. From investing to starting your own business; find one that works for you.

These techniques get you started on the right path. Like any journey, you will not always follow the path exactly. The key is, however, to keep moving forward.

Wealth Magnetism Basics: Overtime is Overrated
by Michael A. Thomas

In my younger days, I could remember my dad having to go to work early in the morning, and not returning home until late at night. When I was in middle school, I sometimes wouldn’t see him for days at a time because of his schedule.

On some holidays, he would sometimes pick up an extra shift, so after Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, my brother and I would be watching sports, and my dad would be headed to work.

It was no secret that my dad worked hard for his money. He put in a lot of overtime hours to make sure the bills were paid, and that his family resided in the suburbs. He wanted to provide a better life for his family. And I wholeheartedly appreciate that.

He always taught me the importance of doing well in school, so that I was able to get opportunities he never had. But there was one thing, try as he might, he could not teach me.

You cannot become wealthy trading hours for dollars.

The concept is simple: You can only work so many hours in a day. At some point, you have to eat, sleep, and handle other personal business. In those situations, when you don’t work, you don’t get paid!

And let’s not even talk about people on salary, where you work some hours, and you’re NOT getting paid. But let’s not open up Pandora’s Box…

In any event, trading time for money usually is a losing formula, because someone else is determining your worth. You get paid according to the average pay grade for the position, in that the industry, in that part of the country (or world in some cases).

You want to be able to afford more of the finer things, get a little more vacation, or just keeping the creditors off you, so you decide to put in a few more hours at work. But what you may not realize, is that overtime is actually making you more broke in the long run.

Overtime is overrated for a few reasons:

1.The overtime money tax. You get a little more money, but Uncle Sam takes a much bigger cut than usual.

2. Your social life dwindles. I have done the overtime thing before, and trust me, it is not fun. You can’t hang out with friends and family if you are always working.

3. Rich people don’t trade time for money. Watch Vh1 when they run shows about the ridiculously rich. They always seem to have a lot of free time on their hands

If you need to pick up a couple extra shifts to pay the bills, do it. But if you are working overtime to get some extra money, come up with a new plan. There are more than enough opportunities make money.
