Three Unusual Tips To Boost Your Prosperity
Achieving your goals becomes easier when you have a tailwind pushing you in the right direction.
If you live in a big, opulent city, you're going to think about money and business. If you live in a tropical beach town, you'll probably think about exercise and fitness. And if you live in an area with no positive influences, it's going to take enormous amounts of willpower and self-discipline to stay the course build your dream life.
Here are three unusual but effective strategies to give yourself the tailwind you need to help you build wealth and think rich…
1. Set A Big, Whimsical Goal
Rolex, Lamborginhi, Ferrari…
Unless you’re already into cars or watches, these are extremely generic goals.
You’ll get far more motivation out of setting a personalized and unique goal than picking a generic benchmark.
Here’s a personal example, I want to try breaking the sound barrier in a supersonic military aircraft. This isn’t really a status symbol the way driving a Ferrari is, but it’s something that personally excites and motivates me.
Your goals should feel the same way, oddly specific but deeply connected to who you are.
2. Fill Your Home With Aesthetic Items
Surround yourself with things that elevate your environment. Art, objects that matter to you, views that make you feel alive.
The mafia knew this when they were building Las Vegas. They didn't construct boring, utilitarian casinos. They engineered lavish environments evoking Ancient Roman palaces, Egyptian splendor, and colorful medieval castles. These designers knew that when a place looks luxurious, people adjust their behavior to align with their surroundings.
My writing office has a beautiful, sweeping view.
Walking into the office is exciting and I love sitting down and getting to work. Earlier in the year, I was traveling and spent a month in an apartment where the window looked out on another building’s brick wall. Sitting down to write felt like a chore and I constantly caught myself procrastinating. The environment worked against me.
Your surroundings are either a headwind or a tailwind.
Decorating your work area to match your goals helps subtly influence you toward achieving them.
3. Live In The Nicest Climate You Can Afford
Living in a cold, grim environment with grey skies and freezing windchill is miserable and expensive. You pay with quantifiable costs, like heating bills. But you also pay with opportunity costs, like being forced indoors for months at a time.
Living somewhere tropical and warm is often cheaper, and better for you mentally, than staying in a cold climate.
It's easy to be an optimist when you're consistently enjoying palm trees, sunshine, and endless blue skies. Likewise, being able to walk outside at any time of the year and go for a swim is a great way to reduce stress and boost creativity.
Like having an aesthetic office, living somewhere nice motivates and excites you.
Trading options and then hopping in the ocean to swim with sea turtles is fun. Working on your own business and then going outside and seeing wild, tropical birds feels good. Even if you’re making slow progress towards your goals, living in a nice environment always gives you the sense that you are on the right track.
Conclusion
Having personalized goals that excite you, surrounding yourself with beauty, and living in a motivating environment gives you increased focus, creativity, and momentum for pursuing your wealth-building goals.
And even if you aren’t wealthy, yet, you can use these strategies to feel wealthy as you build your net worth.
Implementing these tailwinds also makes the journey fun, something that helps keep you on-task and makes it nearly impossible to give-up on your big-picture monetary ambitions.
