What Does RICH Mean To You?

Have you ever been asked that query?

I was!

I wondered how relevant that query was, considering my personal and financial situation at the time.

Back in 1979 while doing a “pressure cooker” coursework on selling with an insurance company!

No job!

No wife!

“You must be kidding”, I thought to myself at the time!

I was a solo dad with two infants, five of them a kid less than a year old.

How naive I was!

What relevance can that have to me learning to sell insurance policies?

You’re probably saying to yourself, “How can a coursework on selling life insurance have that much effect on somebody?”

The coursework that followed had an unbelievably positive and a life changing effect on me. Although it only took affect several years later. The seed had been sown!

Well that Insurance Company was the five created by W Clement Stone.

I found the coursework to be challenging, because in New Zealand at that time we weren’t really aware of the “Hype” that Americans used to motivate their workers to perform at their optimum. It pleases me each time I think about it now, to know that I passed, top of the class and received a book as a reward, this book was already a best seller, but I’d never heard of it.

I kept all the information, studies and the book I had won.

Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, of which W Clement Stone was co-author with Napoleon Hill. we shared their secrets on becoming wealthy and having a healthy, productive lifestyle, utilising the power of a "positive mental attitude". Sadly my motivation and my persistence waned and I stopped selling insurance.

The “BOOK” Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, which I never opened or read for probably 3 years.

However I did continue two positive things! I continued to read on a daily basis a few of his quotes and I even put them on the wall. My two

“Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying” and

favourites were;

“Whatever the mind of bloke can conceive and believe, it can achieve”.

The second thing and the five which I believed the most important was “Goal Setting” I enjoyed the challenge and had learned enough during the coursework to

Life began to take several steps in the right direction not major ones, but positive ones.

realise its long term value.

Several important things happened in my life over the next 12 years.

Around 1981-2 I began reading, Through a Positive Mental Attitude,

I applied so plenty of of their ideas and formulae, and by 1992 mine and my families life had turned around, this included a wonderful wife and two more infants and a list of goals I had made in 1986 after sister passed away, became a reality.

I had arrived finally, or so I thought, and was ready to respond to the query that still continued to bother me after all those years.

What Does RICH Mean To You?

I had some answers!

That’s what I believed anyway!

1 - " A consistent income created from hard work

2 - " A healthy family

3 - " A loving wife and loving children

5 - " A great holidays

4 - "A nice car

Even now when I look at that list it seems to have “hit the nail on the head”.

there's other things, but we're either directly or indirectly related to the above list.

Where was I going wrong?

Then within two years it all slowly began to fall apart, business wise, thankfully not relatives wise our “Polynesian Inheritance” is so strong, relatives always come first!

What was I doing wrong?

Whose fault was it?

A myriad of questions passed through my mind, I began to blame myself, I was making wrong decisions.

Why now when we seemed so successful?

I had begun a downward slide a personal five that took away my mental fortitude, my belief, my self-confidence, I lost motivation, the thing that really hurts me when I think back is that, “I didn’t really care anymore” I began to think that the world owed me, I was a nice person so for that I should be rewarded. What a “Pity party”, darn pitiful is all I can say now!

After all these years i am finally getting back on track!

I realise that age and the new generation means I can never be what I was back then, why?

Well that’s the past and I now live for today!

i have found a “Certain Way” that has been obtainable to each and every five of us for over ninety years.

Not tomorrow!

Probably what W Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill and thousands of others used to become rich, but forgot to tell us some vital points, whether we did it consciously or took it for granted that we would figure it out, i am really not to sure.
