You'll notice that I advocate a philosophy around here that I like to call "Spiritual Materialism." Spiritual Materialism is a philosophy that holds man to be a combination of spiritual and material factors. These factors are only conflict when the principles behind them are improperly understood. When properly understood and combined, they lead to a general state of happiness within one's

Socialism. It's created some of the worst tyrannies known to the history of man. The USSR. North Korea. China. Cuba. Vietnam. Hundreds of millions of human beings dead, all in the name of an ideology which claims to value the common man.When one points this out to liberals, they invariably whine that socialism in itself is a good idea and that the governments in question weren't/aren't

A friend of mine impressed me today.This friend of mine is an avid fan of Disney. In particular, he loves Walt Disney World, so much so that he hopes to build a long term career there. Against the recommendations of some of his friends and family, he applied last year for the Disney College Program as a custodian. This guy is very intelligent and probably could have picked his jobs a bit more

As some of you more conspiratorial-minded readers might have surmised, I am a Freemason. I'm very proud of that fact -- the Masonic brotherhood is one of the greatest organizations I have had the honor of belonging to.Many people have peculiar ideas about Freemasonry. At its heart, it's a benevolent fraternity mostly composed of men of high principles. It is not a secret society, nor is it a

Time is money. The saying is old and clichéd and yet few things in life are as true. How often do you stop to think about the value of your own time?Most people's time is worth very little. This is reflected by the fact that they do not make money for that time. If you take a moment to examine the reasons as to why this is so, the answer becomes apparent -- they spend most of their time doing

Glenn Beck. The man is a polarizing figure, to say the very least. Love him or hate him, one cannot deny that he is a very successful man. I believe that success seekers can learn a lot by both studying and applying some of the methods he has used in his own life.Glenn Beck represents a wonderful dual application of both principles I had mentioned yesterday: hustling and leverage. His success

I'm going to tell you a little secret. Pay close attention; this secret is vital to your success.You can't get wealthy without other people.Let's face it. None of us lives in a vacuum. We live in societies and are defined by the relationships we build with others. Sure, you could go out and live in the woods all by yourself, not depending upon a single soul. Are you taking any supplies with

I'd like to take some time today to talk about a subject close and dear to my heart. It's an oft-maligned subject that often finds itself under attack by political demagogues of all stripes. Those with power often hate it because it enables others to gain power through their own efforts without help from those same elites. I am, of course, talking about Capitalism.Capitalism. The word evokes

Yesterday I came across a blog post from a couple years back. It's an evaluation of how Ramit Sethi successfully built up a faithful following several years before releasing his book. It covers many of the principles he used, all of which are worth studying.The dirty little secret behind Ramit Sethi's book launchI've said it before. If you want to be a success you absolutely must learn to

The topic of today centers around some of the most important advice you'll ever receive. It seems so simple yet most people never give it even a second’s thought.Find a way to make a living doing something you love.Now, before we get started, I'm going to tell you what not to do. Don’t go out and quit your job today. Many of the immediate concerns that hold you back from pursuing your passion

Today I would like to take the time to examine another fundamental of wealth building: cash flow. What is cash flow? Few concepts are more important to fully understand than this one. It doesn't matter what great idea you might have to build your wealth. If you don’t understand the basic principles behind cash flow you're doomed for failure. You find a way to pull in a six figure income

America is truly the golden land of opportunity. For over two centuries, men and women have been immigrating to this great land seeking to make names for themselves. American history is full of stories about those whom, through hard work and patience, paved their own way from rags to riches. You and I both know that you're looking for the same thing. Everyone wants to make money. It's

For the better part of ten years, Robert Kiyosaki has been at the top of the "wealth creation" industry. Starting with the publication of his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, he and his associates have built themselves a terrific wealth-creation machine which rakes in millions of dollars every year. Some, however, have accused the man of being a scam, a glorified con-artist who has built a fortune off

In one of my posts yesterday I spoke about the importance of creating wealth within your inner world as a prerequisite for manifesting wealth in the world around you. I'd like to expand upon the importance of that concept for you today.We spend much of our lives being programmed by the society around us. Society programs us to believe that we amount to very little and that we're worth what it

I found what I considered to be an excellent blog on the topic of wealth creation -- Ramit Sethi's I Will Teach You To Be Rich. At first glance his site appears to be a marketing scam. After raking through the voluminous information he has to offer, however, I can plainly state that there is much there that is worth your time. He offers it for free and appears to take a very ethical approach.

There's a very popular concept out there right now. You hear about it in books like The Secret and in the writings of Abraham-Hicks. I'm talking, of course, about the Law of Attraction.It's a simple principle. It basically goes like this: what you have and what you put out into the world are what you'll get. It's not a new idea by any means. It has, in fact, created wealth and happiness for

If you've seen one of them on a forum you've seen a dozen. I'm talking about those perpetual naysayers, the atheists. They're the backbone of everything liberal in this society. They claim to be "skeptics" but, unlike true skeptics, their skepticism does not extend to the modern secular dogmas which define our society. Question those and they'll treat you as though you're an idiot simply for

After receiving quite a bit of email regarding my last two posts I feel it's necessary to expand on a couple points I've made.First, when I speak of trusting in God, it's not my intent to make it sound as though just any old god will do. There is God, and there are false gods. The True God spoke to Abraham and gave Moses the Ten Commandments. The True God sent the prophets to the people of

In Part One I spoke about the dangers of liberalism and the dangerous effects that secularist materialism will inevitably have on your potential for prosperity if you make the mistake of buying into it. Liberals can be wealthy, but it's the type of wealth one earns by taking advantage of others because one believes no one is watching from above. Their game is all about gaining and holding power

We live in difficult times. Big government policies at all levels of our government have led us to skyrocketing debts and a collapsed economy. Democrats are particularly pleased by this state of affairs, as they lick their chops to save impoverished America through socialism and increased government spending. Despite Tea Party victories during the November elections, the GOP stands poised to
