In another article I wrote, entitled Become Successful by Thinking Differently, I talked about the story that the Barbarians would tell and how in the story Odin changed into someone else just by thinking differently. I suggested that you also start thinking differently about things. Have you done it? If not why? A bit harder than it seems, huh? "The Barbarians Guide to Success can help, but I thought I would give you some more advice on that right now.

First you must realize that you already have what you want. Do you want to be wealthy? Well what if I told you you were in the top 8% of the wealthiest people on earth. What if I told you that by getting this email you are proving to be distinguished from 99% of the worlds population. By reading this email, you have a leg up on over two billion people in the world already. Some of you already know what I am talking about, but those of you who don't, are you scratching your head yet? How 'bout these stats?

* If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

* If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pains of starvation ...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

* If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

* If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 70% of this world.

* If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

* If you have a computer, you are among only 1% of the worlds population that does.

So, as you read this you are among the 8% wealthiest people in the world. Puts a bit of a spin on what you thought before huh?

Oh and what about reading this article, well if you can do that you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all. That's right. You have the ability to read. At least some spare change, some food in the frig, or some in the cabinet.

You, my friend, are rich!

Now, admittedly, this takes into account non-industrialized nations, and that makes these stats a bit deceiving, but what that means is that you live in a great nation, that is full of wealth. You just need to grab it.

Now remember, you are already rich, you just need to get richer.

I know this is much lighter than many of my articles, but everyone needs to lighten up and just feel good once in a while.

The fact is that silly little things like this do help make you feel better, but you need to get down and dirty and in the trenches to really make a success of yourself. It doesn't hurt to have some help from someone who has been there. A good coach can be invaluable, and I highly recommend finding one. I also recommend finding good books that, not only give good advice about success, but also addresses the mentality of success. If you ask the most successful people in the world they will tell you any kind of success is 99% mental.

That's why in my book The Barbarians Guide to Success I address the mental aspects of what I did to increase my income by 833% and fall deeply in love and get married to the woman of my dreams all in 2.5 years Make sure that anybody you work with understands how to help you change the way you think at a core level, otherwise all the work will be for naught.

With that I will say:

Get the Barbarian Mind Set and keep it. Stay tr to yourself and your family, the rest will take care of itself.

Welga! Everte
