This Simple “Litmus Test” Predicts Your Future Wealth…
This test
is really interesting if you follow my strain of thought carefully.In just a minute I’m going to share a simple 10 second test that will predict your future wealth.
If you recall at the beginning of the year, I posted the Sigmond Freud Priority Test to enable us set our priorities right for the year. This time, this test will enable you predict accurately your future wealth.
This “test” been an extremely accurate gauge of future wealth or over 50 years, and was originally invented by Confucius over 2500 years ago!
It has successfully predicted people’s future wealth with breathtaking accuracy.
Ok! Let’s hit
it!
Step 1: You are going to take a quick look around your
house for the next 2 minutes.
Step 2: Identify
the top ten (10) items that you think would possibly enhance your wealth and
those that could possibly diminish your wealth.
Step 3: Pick out the Most Significant item in each
group (Top 1).
Now, here’s
the trick.
If the
wealth-enhancing items are “bigger/more in number” and the other
wealth-diminishing items are “smaller/less in number,”...
You are
going to be successful and probably rich.
If your items
are in the reverse, it is more likely that you might end in financial
mediocrity.
Did you
figure it out yet?
Have you
guessed the top two (2) items in the different categories to look out for?
The answer
is simple. The items
to look for are: the size of your Library
vs. the size of your TV. That’s it!
If your
library (this includes: musical instruments, work studios, digital
work/business-related material, etc) is bigger/more sophisticated than your TV,
one could easily predict wealth and success in your future.
This is
especially true if your library is heavily stocked with non-fiction titles,
non-entertainment, non-leisure material. You know, “how to” books and courses
on subjects like time management, investing, business systems, relationship building,
networking, real estate, stocks… And so on and so forth.
Because
invariably, the richest people I know (who make 6, 7 and 8 figures per year) …
All have
small TVs… And HUGE libraries.The richest of the rich have NO TV set at all!
Jim Rohn said: “Poor people have big TVs. Rich people have big libraries”
I love that quote.
Confucius
said it this way 25 hundred years ago… “No matter how busy you may think you are, you must
find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.”
Ouch!
But it is
the truth. You can (and should) apply it to yourself. Just that,
you may not necessarily need to take the 2 minute house tour method as it
doesn’t always work anymore
The best
thing for YOU:
Just fill
your electronic device with nonfiction goodness. And use it. It’s the
surest (and historically proven) path to future prosperity.
So here’s
the simple test for yourself.
Is your TV
bigger than your non-fiction library?
Do you
spend more time watching mindless prime-time programming than you do on
cultivating your brain with life-changing information?This isn’t about judging you. There’s always a time and a place for entertainment. But overdosing on frivolity can be more ruinous than most people realize.
The middle
class is typically strung out on their “TV fix” every weekday night. Like mesmerized
zombies. Meanwhile the wealthy are learning new ways to be more productive… And
honing skills to improve their value to society (and make more money in the
process).
Is it any
wonder the rich keep getting richer? And the middle class stays mired in mediocrity?
Here’s what
to Do If You Failed the Test…
Don’t
worry.
Even if you
fail the TV test, you can easily reverse the results. Start by grabbing some
great non-fiction books this yuletide season, with the days/weeks off work and
holidays.
Replace
just one of your favorite TV programs with a half-hour or hour of reading,
learning something new, engage in some profitable, healthy, mind-developing
activity.
At first
it’ll feel like you’re missing out on something big. You’re not. Soon you’ll
eagerly look forward to your “learning time.” Get into that studio and cook
some music; Turn that oven/microwave of yours into a mini bakery/pastry-making
machine! Do something!
And I
guarantee you won’t miss that silly sitcom or reality show (that isn’t even
reality at all).
Seriously.
Which activity do you think will have a bigger impact on your future life and prosperity?
If you want
the prosperity of the rich, you know the right choice.
Enjoy the
best of the season!
