I’m going to step back, or maybe to the side, or a convention article on an internet marketing site for a minute to share something I can’t believe I never gave any thought to. Something that all of us take for granted everyday, but that we have the ability to change should we all chose to. This is the realization of belief systems.

Follow me for a minute here. How is success in this industry often defined? Money.

Money is a belief system. A $5 bill is worth $5 because we all believe that is its worth. It’s actually not worth anything, it’s just a piece of paper, but we believe it’s worth five dollars. I’m sure you’ve heard in books like The Science of Getting Rich and Think and Grow Rich that when you seek to benefit everyone success will find you. As many marketers will tell you this is completely true. So how does this relate to the belief of our money system?

When we use it in this fashion we grow ourselves more spiritually than materially in an attempt to help everyone. Success is created around us in what we believe it should be. In this case it’s money. As Napoleon Hill elequently pointed out his rules can apply to anyting, not just monetary gain. As an experiment I want all readers of those books and this article to pick something that they want that is not monetary and use what those books teach to get it. It’s personally changed my life and where I am now is now where I imagined I’d be even a year ago.

I digress. The fact is is that we all want something that doesn’t exist in an imaginary world. We all want ‘money’ through the ‘internet’. Neither really exist. I know “The Secret” has came out recently touching on one of four laws, the Law of Attraction. That your desire and energy will create or attract what you want to yourself basically. It’s curious, when I see who has succeeded in this industry and who hasn’t. Those who have grasped early on that the benefit of others creates benefits for you.

Let’s back up for a minute. Think, if everyone all at once agreed that we didn’t want to use money anymore it would have no value. If noone wants it, it’s got no hold over anyone. Money is an abstract force that comes to you when other things are completed. Those with large bank accounts are probably rolling their eyes now at that statement at how money can’t be abstract, but if everyone but you decided they weren’t using money anymore it wouldn’t matter how much you had. They don’t want it, you’ve got nothing of value. What creates that money and makes it find its way to you is through doing things that will benefit others.

Noone wants to buy something that is worse than a previous product, they want something better. The product is trying to benefit the most people as possible. This is how it sells if you’re selling it. By making things better what you want finds you. For some this is money. Money always has a way of taking care of itself in my circumstance so I always point my desires at other things, which take some time, but do get to me.

It basically boils down to: benefit any many people as possible + work + what you desire is = success.

That’s it.

Remember, we could topple our money system tomorrow if we all chose to. No wonder so many people define success so differently. Perhaps it’s not the strongest force out there after all.

P.S.: If you liked this and benefited from this, please send it around. I’m open to good, bad, indifferent comments as long as people read it.
