Mwah! I spent the weekend at the National Achievers Congress in London. Listening and being inspired by some world’s best speakers regarding wealth and finance. Amongst many inspiring people the one who stood out for me was Kim Kiyosaki. Kim shares a passion for educating women about money and investing. She shared her story, the first property that she bought, giving her a positive cashflow of just $25 per month. The first step was taken; she followed the same process and soon has a portfolio of 30 properties and now thousands!

Kim discussed the importance of having your dream and your vision. The one thing that can keep you going when things can get tough for you because at some point it is likely that this may get tough but I ask you ‘what keeps you going during these times?’. She shared something that really stood out for me and I wanted to share with you with my own thoughts and questions added in too. There are 3 questions that highly successful Women ask themselves:

1. What do you do in your spare time?

Are you spending this time watching Eastenders or Big Brother? Are you spending your spare time reading the negative messages from the media or Heat Magazine telling you how you must look and be? What could you be doing with that time instead? When you look back on your life will you be really proud that you spent days, months and years of your life doing these activities in your spare time?

2. Who do you take advice from?

Are you taking advice from someone who has actually walked in the steps that you want to walk in or someone you are inspired by! Or are you taking advice from someone who has sat on the sideline watching others take the steps and then pointing at the others who are taking action when they make a mistake! I can always tell the difference, did they start the conversation with ‘I’ or was it ‘I once knew someone who knew someone who’. I know where I would rather take advice from. My advice to you is to find someone who has want you want or someone who has achieved what you want to achieve and shadow them. How does this person become your mentor?

3. Who are the people that you spend the most amount of time with?

Are you hanging out with successful people, who share the same dreams and aspirations as you, people who are wealthy, healthy and inspiring you or are you hanging out with people who are moaning about being bored with life and telling you that you can’t do that and laughing at your ideas, suggestions or dreams!

The challenge for many people is that in my experience ‘dream stealers’ can come disguised as friends and family. They mean well and are often coming from a place of love however there limited knowledge or ignorance can lead to unhelpful information and we allow this to alter our decision. Find people who will inspire you and spend time with them!

In 1996 Kim & her husband Robert developed the ‘Cashflow’ board game this is something that myself and the Birmingham Yes Group team play every month of the third Thursday and every time I play the game I gain a valuable lesson in terms of how I am playing the game of life!
