Inside Out Wealth

In 1998 I began a modeling project on Wealth Building. A simple question drove the research. I simply wanted to know how the first-generation self-made millionaires did it. What were the key factors that enabled them to become wealthy, make a fortune, and attain the financial independence that so many of us would like?

The original phase of the project only took 10 months. I interviewed a few millionaires and then began reading the literature of the field. I then began my first trainings and tested the application of Neuro-Semantics and NLP to Wealth Building. In was in that way that I field tested the ideas and concepts. In the process I learned a lot, but more importantly I applied the Wealth Building Principles to my own life. In the first two years, I doubled my net worth, then doubled it again in the past two years. I went from having two rental properties to 8. In that same time, my income has tripled.

While there are numerous secrets to building wealth, I can tell you that none of them are Rocket Science. In fact, you already know many of them. And if you don’t know them, you can discover them within a day or two by reading a few basic books. But, the million dollar question is this, Will you be able to get yourself to incorporate them and actually put them into practice?

The likelihood is that you will not. The great majority of people will not and do not. Why not? Because of a central occupational hazard for humans―we know more than we do. It is this Knowing-Doing Gap that stands in the way of most of us. This is true for wealth building as it is true for relationships, business excellence, fitness and health, etc.

This is the problem with 99.99% of all the books, tapes, workshops, and trainings in Wealth Building. While I love and read and use the materials of the key players in the field of Wealth Building, there is zilch in those books and trainings that actually enable people to incorporate the principles, rules, and secrets. The feeling is always left, “If I just buy the next book, then I will get it!” “If I sign up for one more training, then I’ll get it!” And I would not want to be the one to blow the whistle on this or to suggest that these people and programs might have a vested interest in getting you to do that, so I won’t.

I’ll just say this― Discovering how to bridge the Knowing-Doing Gap and learning how to truly implement what you know, how to take it from Mind and put it into your Muscles … this is the very heart and the most unique thing that the Meta-States of Neuro-Semantics offers. And when you know that― then just about any expertise and excellence can be yours!

Knowing How to Implement Knowledge is truly Inside-Out Wealth

When you know how to take great ideas, inspiration concepts, and state-of-the-art models and install them into your very neurology and make them your neuro-semantics, then you are 90% of the way to any excellence or expertise that you want.

After all, the greatest knowledge and models and skills in the world will do you squat if you don’t use them!

The secret of wealth building that Napolean Hill, Dale Carnegie, the authors of the Millionaire Next Door, Robert Kiyosaki, Suzie Orman and many others emphasize that we have to first think wealth. This highlights that wealth is built from the inside out. They have that part right. “Do what you Love and the money will follow” is a general concept in the right direction (general, but not quite fully adequate, it’s missing some things).

Wealth is built from the inside out and we have to know how to get it from our heads into our muscles. That’s the part that 99% of the books and trainings miss. But now, in Neuro-Semantics―we include that part.

Wealth that’s holistic, balanced, ecological and inevitable begins with a wealth of mind and emotion that glories … absolutely glories in the ability to see and create value, to create value first for self, then for others, and then for everybody.  It is this kind of true internal abundance that cannot but explode externally with the actions that add value and makes us valued everywhere we go.

Wealth is created by the entire mind-emotion-body, or neuro-semantic, system which sees opportunities, seizes opportunities, gives, enriches, has a grand time … even when finances are tight.

Wealth has to start with an attitude of multiple states and meta-states that come together to create a marvelous gestalt … a gestalt that we create in the Wealth Building Training that’s based on the principles of Internal/External Wealth. It’s an attitude that uses the state of frugality to squeeze all the good things about of everything … that doesn’t need more and more money to be happy .. but that uses happiness to make more and more money. That’s the frame. Hector Quintana was at the training in Monterrey, Mexico (Feb. 2002) and wrote this about the training.

“These new feelings are awesome. I feel more energetic every day and I also offered to some people I know to coach them for free in order to help them develop belief changes like saving money … developing a business and gain a sense of joy when confronting challenges without losing alertness in front of problems … “

He went on to describe several things he has already done at work and with others in “the joyful game of marketing valuable things to others” that has opened new doors of opportunity.
