<strong>Making</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Million</strong><br />
wealthy." I hope what I am showing you in this book will teach you how to make greater<br />
wealth <strong>and</strong> more money than you can spend in a lifetime, even when you have none to<br />
start with.<br />
Wealth is how you perceive yourself <strong>and</strong> your world. It's your central vision, your<br />
purpose, that which drives you at your central core. Get the core right <strong>and</strong> wealth will<br />
flow automatically. Like the high-jumper who reached his limit <strong>and</strong> couldn't get any<br />
higher, we need to take the coach's advice: "Get the heart right. Throw your heart over<br />
the bar <strong>and</strong> your body will follow." There's a secret here. I'm giving you the Sunday<br />
papers on Saturday morning. I am telling you the winning Lotto numbers before they're<br />
drawn. Tune in <strong>and</strong> listen to this secret <strong>and</strong> you'll win Lotto every other draw. And you<br />
won't even have to buy a ticket.<br />
Wealth is simply the Principles <strong>of</strong> Abundance put into practice. The more we apply the<br />
principles, the smoother our life runs. We get what we give, <strong>and</strong> so, as we give, we<br />
achieve greater <strong>and</strong> greater success. What do we do with it? We create more<br />
opportunities to give. We build. We create resources for our community. We create jobs.<br />
We build housing <strong>and</strong> factories <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> subdivisions <strong>and</strong> retirement homes <strong>and</strong> shops<br />
<strong>and</strong> holiday resorts <strong>and</strong> power stations <strong>and</strong> transport facilities. The enormous taxes we<br />
pay, we pay willingly, to build roads <strong>and</strong> schools <strong>and</strong> hospitals <strong>and</strong> airports. Why? For<br />
ourselves? So we can stuff our face with more cream cakes? So we can make money to<br />
show <strong>of</strong>f <strong>and</strong> brag to others about our vast possessions <strong>and</strong> put them down? No. To be <strong>of</strong><br />
value to others. We create wealth for others, out <strong>of</strong> love. We've been given great wealth<br />
but we have to use it wisely or we'll lose it. You only get to keep what you willingly give<br />
away.<br />
Over the years I've had some contact with people from indigenous communities in<br />
Australia <strong>and</strong> Canada. The pendulum <strong>of</strong> colonialism has in recent years swung in their<br />
favour <strong>and</strong> the government has, as a salve to our collective conscience, legislated to<br />
compensate for past wrongs by opening their check books <strong>and</strong> giving them money. In<br />
Australia we have given our indigenous communities sit-down money <strong>and</strong>, now,<br />
significant parcels <strong>of</strong> l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> money. But we haven't helped them to turn that money<br />
into wealth, <strong>and</strong> without good stewardship this largesse will be dissipated. The<br />
government will say "But we gave you money." And the rednecks will say: "I told you<br />
so".<br />
There is a saying. It's not original, but I believe it to be true: If you took all the money in<br />
the world <strong>and</strong> evenly distributed it, within 24 hours it would start to go back to the way it<br />
was, <strong>and</strong> within 5 years you would hardly notice any difference to the way it always was.<br />
Why is this so? It has to do with attitude. If you have the attitude <strong>of</strong> wealth then money<br />
accumulates. If you have an attitude <strong>of</strong> money, you'll spend it <strong>and</strong> it'll be gone, regardless<br />
<strong>of</strong> how much you start with. This is <strong>of</strong>ten expressed as: "To he that has, more will be<br />
