"Time is money - stop wasting money. Personal enterprise for Prosperity can mean more free time for pleasure, an abundance of money to have and to share, or simply relief from chronic "too much month at the end of the money". Soar high like an Eagle, don't scratch in the dirt like a chicken - the view is better, you have lots more fun, and you're not eating a dirt sandwich!
Open yourself to the possibility of discovering some prosperity self help solutions.
Your 'investment' are your ideas, effort and genuine desire for a 'return on investment' that helps to make your life complete
Feeling 'prosperous' is very individual - be it bills paid with cash left over in your pocket, a secure passive income generated for the rest of your life, or simply the time to do the things you want, while someone else takes care of the stuff you don't want to do.
Ideally, you should aim for all the above. Taken one step at a time, it can be achieved with the right self help strategies for your lifestyle and roles in life.
When did lack of enough money - or time - last spoil a special event in your life? You wanted to give or do more for someone - you wanted to be able to offer your help, financial or otherwise and just didn't have it to give away? Are your special dreams on hold, because the resources you need just aren't there?
Don't worry or stress out there is an answer - step by step, with the self help tools here you can achieve your prosperity goals.
Motivate, educate and empower yourself with over 1,000 free personal self help resources, articles and downloads.

These notes are drawn from a collection of books by Randy Gage, that are just so appropriate for the Prosperity message being set here on the site, that I will use them to get the ball rolling for you. No matter how far away you THINK you are from scarcity thinking, these eye popping books will get you going back to the drawing board for some fast review work! Definitely recommend that you get every book written by Randy Gage. (Check out http://AsAManThinketh.com/ where I bought my ebooks) “Prosperity is a funny thing. Everybody knows the word, but few people understand what it really means. Fewer still know the secrets it takes to unlock it in your life. But once you learn these secrets, it’s a bold new world. Health and happiness and wealth do funny things to a person. It lets you start each day with joy and dynamic energy, it lets you close each day with peace and harmony, and it lets you live each day with adventure” Randy Gage PROSPERITY cannot exist without Money….. If you are Prosperous, you are: Two out of three ain’t bad. But it ain’t prosperity either. True Prosperity takes all three. Some rich people are sick, bitter and lonely. They are not prosperous. By the same token, if you are healthy, spiritually grounded, and have a great marriage, but struggle to pay your credit cards each month – you are certainly not Prosperous either. Prosperity is all encompassing. ====================== Your income and prosperity will be the average of the prosperity of your five closest friends. This one is so predictable it is amazing to the uninitiated. Take the five people who are closest to you in your life, add up their yearly income from last year and divide it by five, to see what your annual salary will be this year. And it doesn’t just work for money…. This is operating within several prosperity laws, and holds true in all areas. Look at the relationships, health, and happiness of those closest to you, and you’ll find that you are right in the middle. ========================= POVERTY causes people to lie, cheat, steal and even kill. There is nothing “spiritual” about poverty. The best thing you can do for the poor, starving and downtrodden, is to NOT BE one of them. =============================== Your association with money determines whether you attract it or not. Broke people usually have a negative energy and connotation surrounding money. They obsess about how they are unable to do things that require money. Wealthy people have a very positive association with money. They view it in terms of the freedom, enjoyment and pleasure it brings them. Having a negative association of money repels it from you, while a positive association attracts it to you. (Make sure that you are quite clear in your mind about how your life will be different when you achieve your financial goals. If you haven’t foreseen the improvement and embraced all the benefits and “things” that the extra money will be bringing into your life and your new life standards – you can’t manifest it into your reality. Telling yourself that you intend to “become a millionaire”, but “nothing will change me” because you will still drive the same car, wear the same clothes, and live in the same house – is self defeating.) ================================= (How do you FEEL about being or becoming truly PROSPEROUS in your everyday life? Are you programmed against rich people? Money is Bad. Rich people are evil. It is spiritual to be poor. They may be rich, but that doesn’t make them happy. Rich women are vain, vapid and superficial. Rich men are workaholics who don’t care about their family, only making money. Our media is very effective in programming us from childhood about how we should feel about wealth and wealthy people. Consider the TV shows Dallas and Dynasty. When did you last see anything on TV that showed people as Wealthy, who were also healthy, thin, happy, loving, contributing, and well balanced people you would like as friends or partners….. Why do we then soak up the image of money not bringing wellbeing?) If you are overweight and out of shape, it’s good to know that those who are very thin aren’t necessarily happy. Because let’s face it, that would really be too much. If we knew that they were thin AND happy – that might be more than we can bear! And if we know that rich people are poor parents – we can feel noble for being broke. If we learn that wealthy people are vain, stupid and cheat on their spouses – then we can justify why we never opened that business, when after that promotion, or acted on our dream. “We may be poor, but at least we are honest”. Translation to your subconscious mind: Rich people are crooks. Is it any wonder that you grow up hating rich people and subconsciously not wanting to be like them? …Once this is ingrained in you, the guilt starts. “You paid how much for that! ? ! Isn’t that a bit much?” You start to feel guilty when you buy nice things. If you have great health, or a wonderful relationship, you start to downplay them around friends that don’t have them. You hide your light under a bushel, because you want to fit in. You may start degrading yourself with self-depreciating humor around them. Did any of the guilt you have or had in the past come from the idea that if you are getting something good – it means someone else is getting something bad? That’s what (a lot of people think). It is based on the supposition that money is FINITE. Money – like love, substance and other resources – is INFINITE. All these resources can be infinitely replenished, simply by you manifesting more. ….Why is it that normally apathetic people get irate at the thought of anyone who prospers from their own ingenuity? …. Maybe they are so deeply ingrained in poverty-consciousness, that they resent people who are wealthy. They become envious of people who are succeeding. …..If you think this is untrue, I’d like you to close your eyes in a moment and imagine that it is New Year’s day and your home is filled with your family and friends. In a moment of inspiration, you silence everyone and announce that it is your intent, for this New Year, to become a billionaire! In the overwhelming silence or amusement that follows, how will you feel? Do you immediately recant and say you were just kidding to let everyone off the hook? How do you FEEL, right NOW, just thinking about it? =================================== Home is where we learn to watch television. Have you ever seen a TV commercial for a $100,000 necklace? For your own private jet? Rolls Royce? Actually you don’t see too many advertisements for anything remotely prosperous. Mainly it’s the latest $1.99 meal at McDonalds…....Beer and cola commercials abound. The irony is that the masses have their reality reflected back at them and it’s all lack-conscious, low-end stuff. It’s what they wear, what they see, what they eat. (Are you asking yourself - ) If we’re successful, won’t our friends and family think we’re bad people. They think other rich people are bad - why not us. If I tell my friends my hopes and dreams, will they ridicule me? Will they snicker and say stuff behind my back? What if I try really hard and fail, will everyone laugh? If my house if bigger than my parents, will they harbor resentment? Will they stop loving me? Analyze WHY others think the way they do – and think differently! =============== The only free Cheese is in the Mousetrap! …A big part of the price to you to becoming prosperous is becoming the kind of person that handles prosperity responsibly. Studies have shown again and again that most poor people who win large windfalls in the lottery are broke and miserable ten years later. They got the cash, but they didn’t have the prosperity consciousness. So the money never stayed, and the other elements of prosperity never showed up. Nothing comes for free. … Prosperous people never look for anything for free. They are always happy to exchange value for everything. …You become a wealthy person in your mind; then you manifest it on the physical plane, by becoming the kind of person that attracts prosperity to you. =================================== Find some Like Minded People, to share your self help journey to prosperity ….Find five people that were in a bookstore this week, and make them your close friends. ……Surround yourself with people who dream bigger than you do. …….When you get negative people out of your life, negative “things” stop happening to you. ==================================== REMEMBER: …..Bills are simply invoices for blessings you’ve already received. …...HEALTH, LOVE, HAPPINESS and MONEY are infinite…. ……True Prosperity only comes to those who seek it. ….You would be hard pressed to find someone more prosperous than a three-year-old with a big box of crayons and a coloring book., Above Quotes and excerpts by Randy Gage ==================================== Now for some practical self help ideas: One self help strategy to improve your cashflow and time available to you is to BARTER for more of both:- The concept of barter is thousands of years old and was the primary way goods and services were exchanged before currency was ever invented. .... By using barter he acquired electrical work, tables, chairs, menus and a state-of-the-art telephone system. Ryan says, “I use cash for perishables, liquor, wages, rent and taxes. Everything else is up for grabs. We don’t spend cash unless something is unavailable through barter.” You can barter individually or through a barter exchange group. Regardless of how you choose to barter, there are some fundamental rules that you must follow in order to be successful: ...... If you want to go through an established organization, there are many local, state and national trade associations you can use to take advantage of the many benefits of barter. The concept is that members of these trade associations “sell” their products and services at their prevailing prices for 100% trade dollars. ..... There are a few exchanges that will actually give you a line of credit so you can start trading right away.... for full article go to: HOME PAGE | Self Help Blog | Free Self Help Books 1 | Latest Self Help Articles | Famous Quotes | Self Help Jokes | Newsletter | Jim Rohn Coaching | 12 Pillars of Success | Contact Us | Disclaimer | Link Directory | Self Help Content Guide

The following pages are about understanding, making and keeping more money. I have two very simple objectives: to give you a summary of what I’ve learned about money over the past 30 years, and to give you specific steps so you will take action.
By taking action, you can avoid or get out of debt. By taking appropriate action, you can manage money and use it to create wealth. And the truth is, even if you make lots of mistakes, you can still accumulate a fortune. Wealthy people make far more mistakes with their investments than most of us – they just recognize them sooner, adjust quicker, and are always taking action to move forward. As long as you take action, you will get results.
......But, if you want to reduce your credit card debt, invest wisely, make more money, and have more in your pocket at the end of the year, then this is for you! Let’s get going!

Chapter 1 Where To Start
Get Serious About Your Money
What is the most important aspect of getting your finances in order?
For years I would write my bills down, figure my income and subtract the bills from my paycheck to see what was left. It was a real good start but by payday it was either forgotten or something would happen to mess it up.
It finally dawned on me that the way I was going about this wasn't going to work. What I came up with was a little surprising, at least to me. I had been trying to solve my problems without being willing to make some major changes that needed to be made. I really wasn't serious about fixing the problem.
Before you sit down and try to develop a budget or decide what your future plans are, you need to decide if you are willing to follow it through to the end. If you aren't, you will be just spinning your wheels.
Here are few questions you need to ask yourself:
~~Are you willing to do without the joys of what those credit cards can buy?
~~Are you willing to have your family sacrifice as much as you do?
~~Can you make the hard decisions that will be necessary?

ONE: Tax Advantages in a Home Business:
To be eligible for business deductions, your business must be an activity under taken with the intent of making a profit. It's presumed you meet this requirement if your business makes a profit in any two years of a five-year period. Once you are this far along, you can deduct business expenses such as supplies, subscriptions to professional journals, and an allowance for the business use of your car or truck. You can also claim deductions for home related business expenses such as utilities, and in some cases, even a new paint job for your home. The IRS is going to treat the part of your home you use for business as though it were a separate piece of property. This means that you'll have to keep good records and take care not to mix business and personal matters.
No specific method of record keeping is required, but your records must clearly justify any deductions you claim. You can begin by calculating what percentage of the house is used for business, either by number of rooms or by area in square footage. Thus, if you use one of five rooms for your business, the business portion is 20 percent.

Small Business IdeasSMALL BUSINESS IDEAS: Low cost prosperity self help Enterprise and BUSINESS IDEAS suitable for people in all walks of life
In these times, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get by or make ends meet with just one source of income.
Thus, more and more people are investigating the possibilities of, and indeed, the idea of, starting their own extra-income businesses.
Most of these part-time endeavors are started and operated from the comforts and privacy of these people's homes.
Most of these people are making the extra money they need - some have wisely and carefully built these extra income efforts into full-time, very profitable businesses - while some are just keeping busy, having fun, and enjoying life as never before.
The important thing is that they are doing something other than wait for the government to give them a handout, to improve their lot in life - and you can do it too!
The fields of mail order selling, multi-level marketing, and in-home party sales have never been more popular. If any of these kinds of extra-income-producing ideas appeal to you, then for sure, you owe it to yourself to check them out.
But, these aren't the only fields of endeavor you can start and operate from home with little or no investment and learn as you go.
If you type, you can start a home-based typing service; if you have a truck or access to a trailer, you can start a clean-up/hauling service; simply collecting old newspapers from your neighbors can get you started in the paper recycling business; more than a few enterprising housewives have found success and fortune by starting home and/or apartment cleaning services; if you have a yard full of flowers, you can make good extra money by supplying fresh-cut flowers to restaurants, and offices in lucrative personalized coffee mug business.
What I'm saying is that in reality, there's literally no end to the ways in which you can start and operate a profitable extra-income business from your home.
The first thing you "must" do, however, is some basic market research.

Some more quotes and excerpts from Randy Gage:
Goal setting and Planning:
Vision brings your prosperity to you much sooner.
Prosperity is manifested in the mind first. You can stumble across random blessings, but true and boundless prosperity comes as a result of envisioning it first.
(Note from Editor: Cut out or create pictures, symbols, samples, of the things you dream about having in your life of abundance. Stick them onto a display board. Randy calls his the "Dream Board", and suggests you hang it where you can see it every day.
I use a “Discovery Journal” that I put the photos of things that trigger feeling of wellbeing and pleasure in me. Pictures of luxury cruise liners, new cars, shoes, jewelry, house improvement items, new hairstyles, gardening ideas, ANYTHING that I can “look forward to” in the future.
This also helps me to discover what my wish list IS or will be, nowdays…. I have such an abundance in my life already, that the usual “survival level” stuff I had on my lists for years was surpassed long ago, so what do I plan for now? Mostly just fun stuff and contributions.)
Affirmations, goal cards, and other devices that enhance and strengthen your vision have the same result. You actually program your subconscious mind with the desired goal. And once something is programmed in your subconscious, it HAS to happen.
=====================
Visualize your successful, abundant life by Starring in your own movie!
Write the script for the story of your best, ideal day. The more that you can really SEE your abundance, the more likely you are to attract it.
So for example, let’s suppose your vision is to be the number one sales producer for the organization you work with. You write that movie.
So you might pick the day of the annual convention, where you will receive your award. Starting with waking up in the morning, you write out your day.
So you might talk about the smell of coffee downstairs that you wake up to. Feel the breeze coming in the window, and hearing the dog bark with happiness when you come downstairs. You would describe the breakfast you ate, and the conversation you had with your partner.
You might mention the red Lambourghini with the leather seats that you drive to the hotel where the conference is being held, and the tumultuous ovation you receive, when you go on stage to get your award. The key here is that you involve ALL OF YOUR SENSES, and paint the picture as vividly as you can.
Stuff that would be minutiae in a real Hollywood script is very important to you. So don’t hold back on any details. If you are having homemade strawberry jam with the cream cheese on your cinnamon raisin bagel for breakfast – write it down!
You want a compelling and thorough journaling of your perfect day; the day you want to manifest. You want to see it, hear it, taste it, smell it, tough it and FEEL it. It is only when you experience prosperity in your mind and heart first, that you manifest it on the physical plane.
Keep this script someplace like your planner, briefcase, or purse, so you have it handy every day. Read a few paragraphs at every opportunity. When you get stressed out during your day and feeling overwhelmed, read your script.
====================================== …..Only acknowledge your limitations for the purpose of overcoming them.
……Be the number one investor in your dream.
…..If you don’t invest in you, why should anyone else.
……Spend more on your personal development than you do at the coffee (or donut) shop.
