Wealth Is Created With An Idea

You can have all the money you want, if you know how to make use of an idea.

Every money making opportunity starts with an idea. The monitor screen you are looking right now, the keyword in front of you, the internet browser software you are using to read this article, even the blog and the post you are reading right now, was once an idea in somebody’s mind.

Let’s face it, everyone wants to be rich, everyone wants to be a millionaire and everyone wants huge money. The main problem with most people is that they don’t know how they can create the wealth that they desire.

Have you ever heard of this guy called Moe Siegel? Moe is the founder of the Celestial Seasonings tea. Before he created all his wealth, when he was picking seeds and herbs, he would tell his fellow friends, “Someday I’ll have a tea company to rival Lipton.” Everyone always said, “Yeah, sure, sure.”

Well, he started by selling his little teas to health food stores. Then he began expanding, and before long he was selling them to every chain in America.

The moral of the story is this, did Moe start with money? Did he start out with big factory or warehouse? Did he have a giant corporation behind him? Was he negative?

The answer to all the questions above is NO! So what does this mean? It means that creating wealth start from an idea, a vision, a goal, or a dream.

If you don’t believe this, simply read the biography of every successful person and you will find that they all started with absolutely nothing. In fact, many of them started broke. All they have is an idea and a vision of making it big.

If you are going to be a millionaire, you must start with an idea, nurture it, cherish it like helpless little baby. It will grow. You’ll have other idea flash into your mind that will tell you how to can do it. Then you do it!

This is the real secret how to create wealth!

Do you still skeptical about the statement that wealth is created from an idea or a vision?

After going through this favorite story from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, I believe that you’ll agree with the statement…

It’s wintertime in Cincinnati long ago. A cold wind chills the crowds hurrying along the busy street. A young boy, at the age of around 11, has stopped outside the building that houses the city’s newspaper, the powerful and respected Cincinnati Enquirer.

One figure particular has caught his eye: a burly man in shirtsleeves seated at a central desk. An unlighted cigar is clamped between his teeth. His desk bristles with scraps of typescript impaled on spikes. Papers overflow from wire baskets. But power emanates from that desk, and the boy in the street can sense it. He knows that this man is in command.

A policeman saunters past, twirling his nightstick. And the boy turns to him, and ask, “Officer, who is that man in there? The one with the eye shade and the cigar?”

“Him?” The policeman answers. “He’s the editor, sonny. The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, that’s who he is.”

The policeman moves on. Finally the boy goes down the street, looking just as he did before. But he is not the same as before. He is changed. He’s no longer aware of the cold wind or the hurrying crowds around him. Inside his head a scene is forming - not just a vague or casual daydream, but a vision of the future that has all the reality, all the intensity of the present.

Intuitively, the boy knows that sooner or later what he is visualizing will come to pass. He is sure of it. The scene in his head is a replica of the scene he has just witnessed behind the plate-glass window, with one all-important change. The occupant of the editor’s chair, thirty years hence, is himself.

This boy is Roger Ferger, a poor youngster with no connections, no advantages, nothing except an image so powerful that it will bend all the laws of probability until they conform to an even stronger, though hidden law.

This is how you can create wealth, with an idea and a vision in your mind. Ideas are everywhere. Once an idea comes across your mind, write it down. If you think that you’re not creative enough and you don’t have any money making ideas, don’t worry, a vision will do the job.

So do you have a vision? Have you ever came across a sport car on the road that truly caught your attention, and then you said to yourself, “One day I’m going to own it.”

Well, that is a vision. I believe that everyone here has a vision. If you think that you don’t have any vision, it is most probably because you’re not aware of it.

Pay close attention to what you think everyday. Find out what you really want in your life, look for your vision and start to develop that idea.

Having an idea of generating wealth is not enough, you need to focus all your energy on making that idea or vision comes true. Too many people dangling in nowhere because they just dream of becoming rich, but they never really take action to make their dreams come true.

Remember, nothing is going to happen automatically. There are reasons for everything that happens in your life. So make the dreams of yours, the ideas in your head, the vision and the goals you had in your mind the reasons for you to be rich.
