Build Your Life To Order ™

If you think a certain way. Likewise, you’ll get rich if you think a certain other way. I write this article to share with you a study I found online that proves this point decisively. If you are interested in attaining a mindset capable of attracting wealth, a good place to start would be my article ‘Developing An Abundance Mentality’.

The Study

Apparently there was actually a study carried out by Harvard Business School using the USA Today Publication. They ran 2 ads in the paper to gauge the response to each.

Ad Number 1

Web Designer Wanted
Full time, Full Benefits, 401k
Salary: $120k to Start
Fax Resume to: xxx.xxx.xxxx

Ad Number 2

Web Designer Wanted
Full time, Full Benefits, 401k
Salary: $18k to Start
Fax Resume to: xxx.xxx.xxxx

You might think that the first ad would attract more interest because of the much larger salary. The truth is, though, it didn’t. Only 12 People Responded to the first ad whereas 200 People responded to the second one! The jobs in question were actually the same exact position for the same company.

Why Is This So?

Well, it’s very simple. We humans short-change ourselves all the time. We underestimate our talents and abilities and place limitations on everything, especially our income. I know that if I was qualified, I would have applied for the first ad. The reason is that I think of myself as No-Limit-Person. I don’t place a limitation or cap on anything in my life. Unfortunately, this is the opposite of how most people think. You see, you will be totally incapable of attracting wealth or opportunities for wealth if you see yourself as undeserving of it. Want to be rich? Then think, feel, act and BE as a rich person is. It is absolutely true friends that you must be something before you can ever do something.

The Law of Attraction

In New Age circles, they speak of ‘raising your vibrations’ to be in harmony with what it is you want. There is nothing new in this, it simply means that your state of mind/being is the cause of all that you will have or become. Someone stuck in a poverty consciousness would never invest their money, start their own business or probably even save. They will, however, spend what they do have and often times get into debt. Remember, all causes occur at the level of thought and the effects are born out in the physical plain. Here is another little video to get you started on your new way of thinking. you can also get a free copy of the book that lead to the documentary blockbuster ‘The Secret’ here, it’s called ‘The Science of Getting Rich’. Another great resource on this issue is Steve Pavlina’s article ‘Installing Empowering Beliefs‘.

The title of this article is ‘You’ll never be rich’ but the truth is you can be. I am getting richer by the day and opportunities for more wealth are constantly coming to me as well. I, however, am providing value to others in return for this which is one of the great laws of wealth. I’ll discuss my personal experience of this in future articles so please consider subscribing to my feed here or just enter your email address in the box to the left to receive my articles by email. Here’s wishing you an abundant future.
