Because Ideas Change Lives
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. — Mark Twain
There’s immeasurable value within Mark Twain’s quote and the lesson is worth repeating. It’s not what you know that gets you in trouble, but it’s the things you think you know but are actually wrong. If you don’t question your assumptions about the world around you, then you might well dig yourself into failure.
It’s always difficult to start something new. It’s usually only when we’re forced into it that we do it, like getting a new job or new responsibilities at work. Unfortunately though, one of the main requirements to getting ahead in life is starting new good habits. Remember that everything we have and earned today is because of everything we’ve done so far.
One main reason why it’s difficult to start something new is because we are creatures of habit. We’re almost always very busy with all the chores and “stuff” we do every day. There’s also the fact that we usually can’t see a future that’s significantly better than what we have today. Think about it, a worker earning $300 a month can’t possibly dream of earning millions a day, right? But it’s possible (many workers-turned-entrepreneurs/executives have done it), and it’s looking at the possibilities that allow people to try for them and achieve more.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “many times the reading of a book has made the future of a man”, and it’s true. I would have never gotten this far in life if I hadn’t read a handful of extremely valuable personal finance and investing books before I entered the workforce.
It was thanks to what I’ve learned that I was able to consistently reduce my expenses, save a part of my income, and invest it in excellent and well-chosen assets. By doing that during the first six years I’ve been in the workforce, I was able to leave my old job and spend my time and effort on the things that I personally value. It was thanks to those books that I was able to create a bigger mission in life above and beyond “earn, spend, and survive until old age.” That mission was to teach people things that can help them become more successful.
It was because of that mission that I created this blog, YourWealthyMind.com. My previous project before that, however, was a book called 30 Steps to Wealth.

There are many, MANY reasons why people become failures, such as the lack of meaningful opportunities, lack of proper education, underdeveloped communities and infrastructure, and many more. Still, many people become successful anyway DESPITE all of those setbacks. There are several things in life that we can’t control, such as the circumstances of our birth, the state of our community, and many more. Even then, there are lots of things we CAN control, such as how we spend our time, how we use our minds, and how we plan and build our future.
We have to remember that almost everything we get in life is the result of our actions and mistakes. These are 10 of the most common reasons why most people don’t become successful, and how you can avoid them. If you want to improve your state of life and your future prospects, then you have to learn and find a way to make use all of these lessons.

You can learn just about everything from the internet nowadays thanks to blogs, videos, and more. It’s just unfortunate that blog articles need to be short so they can’t really give detailed information on the things you want to learn. Books, on the other hand, have room for more information and thus they tend to be more detailed and complete than blog articles and videos.
Long before I started blogging, I spent over two years writing and rewriting a success and personal finance book. It took that long before I was able to complete my first “good” manuscript, and I realized that the work needed to publish it would take longer. That’s why I started blogging: I wanted to help people by providing helpful information for free! It took a couple more years before I was able to continue my book project though, and finally, this is the result:
