Welcome
And so we begin our journey together...
Savour this moment because you may look
back upon it as a unique turning point in your
life. One day in the future you may even read
these words again and remember that it was
this simple (and free!) course which set you
on the path to financial freedom.
In a moment I will tell you a little about myself, just in case you know nothing about me.
But for now I would like to make a few guesses about you and what brought you here.

Where You Are at Now

Of course, I don't presume to know details of your life. But after 20 years of teaching the
secrets of financial freedom to well over 32,000 students, I have built up a pretty good
idea of what brings somebody eventually to my door.
So with your permission, let me make a few assumptions...
Before I do that I need to say that honesty on your part is hugely important. We can
all pull the wool over other people's eyes but we should never fool ourselves!
So financially, it is likely that your circumstances are similar to one of the three below.
My guess is that you are either:
1. Deeply in debt and sinking fast with little hope of getting out of
the mire.
2. Stuck with a typical level of debt which you can just about
service. Whilst not sinking, a huge amount of your life efforts are
spent on bills and on paying down your debt (mortgage, credit cards
and other loans). You probably cannot see a way out of this right
now.
3. Moderately comfortable; jogging along, able to pay your bills and with a certain
amount left over for luxuries, but you feel dispirited and resentful that there seems no way
to improve this situation.

Without urgent and immediate action, your future AT BEST

consists of a modest life, with modest income and looking forward
to a modest retirement.
1

I may not have got that exactly right of course. You are a unique and special person
something I will be majoring upon in this course. But I doubt if I'm far wrong about your
financial circumstances. A small percentage of my students are very comfortably off and
are searching for more meaning in their lives. I can help with that too.

Wage Slavery
So to continue with my guessing game, I'm guessing that employment-wise you also fall
into one of three categories.
1. You are unemployed (or retired with a minimal pension) and this is exacerbating your
poverty.
2. You are employed in a job you barely tolerate
and which is well beneath your talents and
abilities. It is also an insult to your dignity and
values. It only pays modestly.
3. You are employed in an okay job; you like it
on a good day and dislike it on a bad day. The
salary is mediocre and just about enough for you
to live a modest life. You feel a bit stuck and
cannot really see a clear progression path from here on in. In your darker moments you
wonder if this is perhaps it for life.
Again I'm probably not too wide of the mark. It is just possible that you're in a job you
absolutely adore. But this is very rare. Only one in a hundred jobs gives this kind of
satisfaction. The reason why will become clear as you study with me. Without wishing to
spoil the plot, the system is absolutely stacked against you. It is carefully honed to
mould tame consumer/producers who will accept their lot and not rock the boat.
More of that later.

Finding Meaning
Now I want to turn to meaning and purpose. Again I'm going to be presumptuous and
guess. Forgive me if I'm not precisely on target, but cut me some slack if Im close.
I'm guessing that you long ago abandoned any fancy notions of doing something special.
It may be that you had some childhood fantasies about creating a marvellous machine;
crafting something utterly beautiful; writing a powerful book; journeying to the moon;
discovering a lost tribe or any one of a thousand similar childish dreams. From time to
time perhaps they pop-up in your consciousness and you think one day... before falling
asleep again!
2

Yes, you are yearning for financial freedom, but I bet that underlying the yearning is the
desire to do something meaningful. Perhaps you haven't thought about this. It's possible
you have no idea what I'm talking about. I just want to leave that seed with you because
this is an integral part of what we will be talking about together.

Had Enough of Poverty and Powerlessness Yet?

Next I'm hoping that you are getting pretty sick of it all. By that I mean the relative
poverty, the tedium, the relentless struggle just to keep your head above water and the lack
of any real meaning, purpose and passion in your life.
If I'm very lucky, you will also be feeling angry about your situation.
That's good. I like anger (in this context) because youre going to need
plenty of it to break free. I'm not going to pretend that it's easy to escape
from The Matrix. It isn't. The entire system everything you know and
believe in has been set up to prevent your escape. So if you have a
lukewarm, half-hearted desire to be free one day then I'm afraid that day will never
come, luck to one side.
The bottom line truth is...

you have to be mad as hell at what has happened to you.

What they have done to you, yes and what you have allowed to be done to you, for we
are not only in the blaming game, looking at outside forces to excuse our mediocre lives.
We need to look ourselves squarely in the mirror and place a portion of the blame on
the person staring back at us.

Tired of Get Rich Quick Trash?

My final guess concerns the route you have taken so far in
your search for financial freedom. Im guessing that you've
tried a few things and none of them have worked. It is also
likely youve spent a fair bit of money in pursuit of financial
freedom. If this course is your first port of call, then
congratulations because you have saved yourself a fortune!
But it is far more likely that youve paid good money for
books, CDs, DVDs, seminars and courses all purporting to show you how to become rich
and... none of them have made much difference.
Again, honesty here please. It's tough to realise youve wasted maybe thousands of
pounds with very few tangible benefits to show for it. That's okay. Chalk it up to
experience. You never need to spend money on get rich quick promises again. This was
all part of the illusion you subscribed to in the past. You're on a different track now.
3

The Course Style

Now a word about my advanced Beyond Wealth financial freedom teachings.
This course is very different. For a start it is written by a genuine multimillionaire. Most
other courses and make money products are written by broke people trying to scam a
few quid from the gullible. Harsh but true. The gullible are seeking instant cash for no
effort the marketers are happy to oblige them in their fantasies. Put like that it is
ridiculous isn't it? Yet people continue to fall for it and part with their hard-earned cash.
Because I've made my own fortune already, I have the luxury of being able tell it like it
is, even if I think you will find it unpalatable. In other words I don't have to keep you
sweet because I need your subscription money!
That gives me an amazing amount of freedom to train you quickly and point you in the
right direction without worrying about stepping on your toes. The result is that I write in a
fairly hard-hitting style. I'm not trying to be arrogant writing like this. I am passionate
about waking you up for reasons I will explain in a moment. I also think you need to
wake up urgently. You don't have unlimited time to make it. The pace of change is
accelerating and we are moving into a whole different world financially speaking.

It's a world in which the middle income earners are going to be

systematically stripped of their wealth to pay down the debts of the
profligate and pander to the demands of the masses for handouts
and protection.
Its happening right now, as you read this. That means you urgently need to protect
yourself and find a way of becoming free as soon as humanly possible. If you don't
take this step, you will be facing a very stark old age. That may seem a long way away to
you at the moment but let me tell you it comes around fast. And anyway you won't have to
wait until then for the pain. It's highly likely youre feeling some already and I can promise
that it will only accelerate unless you take decisive action.
One final point on style. Normally my lessons are approximately 50 pages, single
spaced. I have been persuaded that this is just too long. We live in an information-rich
culture and people simply do not have the attention span they had even 10 years ago. Im
sad about that but cannot change it. So I'm making these lessons fairly short.
I hope you approve!
There are twelve lessons which form this Financial Freedom Fighter Course. The first
lesson is free and this is the one you are reading now.

One of the main purposes of this lesson is to make sure we are both on the same sheet of
music. Its possible you have not heard of me and so you need to convince yourself you
are with the right teacher before proceeding.
Imagine yourself at a junction where many roads meet,
and you are unsure which way to take. Think of this
course as orientation on the correct path.

Advanced Course
If you pass through this introductory lesson, you will be
eligible to take the advanced Beyond Wealth course.
This is where your wealth training begins in earnest. You
will be allowed a copy of the limited edition Beyond
Wealth bible a beautiful faux leather-bound book containing The Teachings. It has
been called The world's most expensive book on wealth creation. You will also be
enrolled onto the advanced course and receive the advanced training lessons and a lot
more besides.
After completing the advanced Beyond Wealth course, you will be invited to access the
final level. This is by my personal invitation only so please don't worry about it at this
stage. If you gain access to this higher level you will also be invited to meet me
personally.

Who Am I?
Now with those preliminary thoughts out of the way, let me tell you a little bit about
myself and my background in case you have never heard of me. I'm doing this for one
reason (after all, there are few things more boring than other people's autobiographies!).
You can skip this section if its of no interest or you know me already, but I put it here to
convince you that you are going to learn from someone who walks the talk.
In fact there are two things you need to know before considering studying with someone.
1. Do they walk the talk or are they full of hot air?
2. Is this person one in a million someone you could not possibly emulate or someone
incredibly lucky?
I hope point 1 is obvious. Particularly when it comes to learning about making money,
you don't want to be learning from a broke person! You may have already read one of my
books or courses, but in case you havent, let me make a straight statement of fact. I am a
multimillionaire. And I started from nothing.

In fact I had less than nothing. My debts, excluding mortgage, were the equivalent of
100k in todays money. When I decided I was angry enough (and boy was I pissed) I
became a Financial Freedom Fighter.
I vowed to blast free from poverty and into wealth. I achieved that and now I am going
to share those secrets with you, if you want to follow my path as thousands have before
you.
I know you can do this because I am not a special person. I am no better than you. Not so
long ago I was fixing cameras for the BBC at Television Centre in London. But all that
changed when I got mad and decided to fight.

If youre ready, I will share with you what I learned becoming a

multimillionaire.
You can then apply it to your own life and have a genuine shot at becoming free, just
like me. I never need to work again thats what financial freedom means.
I wonder if you've had the experience of a friend or relation advising you on money?
Maybe they were advising you not to get into this or that business, or which investments
to avoid. Yet their own lives hardly reflected financial prowess!
Yes people are full of opinions and will endlessly give you advice, whether you want it
or not. If you wanted to become a millionaire, I hope you would at least listen to
somebody who was made a few million and you would completely ignore someone who's
never managed to amass more than a few thousand.

Unmatchable Guru
Point 2 is a little bit more subtle. It may be that the person
walks the talk and has indeed made several million pounds. Good
for them. But when you look at their background, talents and
abilities, you find someone you would struggle to emulate. The
person has a first-class mind, two first-class degrees, brilliant
financial acumen, not to mention a family situation or
background which propelled them to almost inevitable
success. Plus a heaping helping of solid good luck and possibly a
nice chunk of cash to get started with!
Many of my students have commented in the past that one of the reasons they chose me
as their mentor was because of my ordinariness. Err... I think that's a compliment...!
So this next short section is aimed at convincing you that I walk the talk and that I am a
pretty ordinary sort of bloke. In other words if I can do it, so can you.
6

If you are new to my teachings and would like to

know a few things about me, please read on
That way you will know a little about me and my vision so you
can judge if I have anything useful to offer you...
For the last 20 years my passion has been helping people to
achieve financial freedom. I will explain why in a moment. Over
32,000 people have received my personal training, aimed at
showing people how to get to a stage in life where they never have to
work again. I hold over a thousand testimonial letters, many of which can be seen here:
http://www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comments.html.
Many of my students have become millionaires as a result of my help although this isnt
something I promise!
I assist people mainly through my writings. My best-selling
titles include The Midas Method; Seven Secrets of the
Millionaires; The Inner Circle; The Way of the Warrior; Real
Life, 77 Tips to Help You Become Wealthy and several
others. My books and courses have sold hundreds of
thousands of copies in a dozen countries worldwide. I also
train people one-to-one in seminars here in the UK where I have charged as much as
3,000 per ticket!
My background was fairly modest. Whilst not poor, both of my parents worked full-time
in jobs to support us and money was always tight.
I grew up in Weston-Super-Mare, and went to the grammar school there (recently
demolished). I wasn't a great student: I was usually in the bottom half of the class.
However I managed to scrape seven O-levels (mediocre
grades) enough to go on and do A-levels. Again I scraped three
of those with very modest grades (B, C, D) but they were
enough to get me into Reading University where I studied
electronics. I graduated from there with a 2.2 in 1974.
The Beach at Weston

I mention all this just so that you know I had no silver spoon in
my mouth, neither did I have any particular talents or abilities certainly no more than
you have, I feel sure. I hope you agree that whilst not a total dunce, my school career was
hardly stellar!

After graduating in electronics, I landed a job at the BBC repairing studio equipment.
After a few years of that I realised I was getting nowhere. The debts were mounting up
and I could barely pay my way.
I drove a scrap yard on wheels, a rusty old minivan with gaping holes in the wings. It
used to fill up with water on a rainy day!
I also lived in the roughest area of town (Reading, Berkshire).
There were cars up on blocks, dumped fridges in the front
gardens and frequent 2am drunken brawls and that was just at
my house!
Here is a photograph of the actual terraced house I
lived in (the one with the skip in front)...
Again I am mentioning this just to show you that I
probably started in a worse situation than you. I won't
bore you with any more life history, but you need to
know something important...
I took a life-changing decision back then in that terraced house and it's one I've
never regretted.
Quite simply I decided to become financially free and then become a wealthy man. At
the time I had no conception of how I might achieve this. I was an oily rag engineer at
the BBC on a middling salary, but I took an important decision which changed my life.
Are YOU at the stage where you are ready to make some life-changing decisions?
I vowed back then that if I ever did become rich I would help others out of the mire too.
Well, my dream came true and I made millions. So that's what I've been doing for the last
20 years. Yes of course I get paid for my services, but I enjoy what I do and it is also my
passion which is why I keep on doing it long after Ive made my fortune.

Why I have This Passion

You may be reading this because you believe that having me as your mentor can help
you to achieve a similar result. Certainly I would be very pleased to guide you to your
own financial freedom just as I have done for thousands of others. But you need to be sure
you are choosing the right teacher (Ill also be checking I have the right pupil, please be
clear about that!).
It's fairly likely that you're reading this with an open mind on who this Stuart Goldsmith
bloke is, and whether he has something to offer you. Youre maybe not sure if you are
even going to continue studying with me.
8

Youre probably giving me a trial.

To help you in your decision about becoming my student, let me tell you why I'm doing
this. You may find my reasons a little bit unusual and they may even put you off.
My passion isn't actually to help you to become wealthy
thats a mere stepping stone.
It is human freedom that I am passionate about. In
particular... your freedom. I need you to be passionate about
that too of course, otherwise I can't help you.
You see, I believe the country and the world are in a bit of
a mess right now and only free humans can sort it out. War,
poverty, famine, naked greed, environmental disasters, debt crises, disease,
overpopulation... I could go on and on as a list is a very long one. I believe that you have
something unique to offer which will be a small part of solving one of these problems. If I
free you up from wage slavery, Im gambling on you doing something worthwhile
with your new life. That is entirely your choice of course, and my gamble.
I also believe that most people live in a bubble of illusion never achieving freedom, not
really understanding whats going on believing the media, politicians, adverts, religions,
films, TV living powerless dream-lives of quiet desperation.

Wasted Lives
Most people's waking lives are squandered in work, consumption
and entertainment. The work is usually some tedious or pointless
job which they do just to pay the bills. The entertainment is often
to ease the pain of such an impoverished existence. People behave
like docile consumer/producers who, like a spent battery, will
be discarded when they have outlived their usefulness.
I hope that is not too uncomfortable for you!

You have so much to contribute, so much to give, so much that the

world is desperately in need of right now but the harsh truth is
you struggle to give it because of your slavery.
To put it simply, by the time you've done your 40-50 hours a week you dont have the
spare time or energy to do much more than relax and entertain yourself. This is what I
mean by slavery.

Joining me, means vowing to break free of slavery, just as I vowed all those years
ago.
So I have an ulterior motive for showing you the way to financial freedom. It is to
release you to be all you can be. Then, finally you will be free to shine. At last you can
step out into the light as a free man or woman. That's why I do this.

Ego Games
I should say straight away that if you're seeking
my guidance on money in order to treat yourself
to a new Porsche, two holiday homes, a wardrobe
full of designer clothes, a stupidly expensive
kitchen, jewelry, watches, trinkets and so on, then
I'm probably not the teacher for you.
Of course I want you to have a comfortable life.
I live a very comfortable life myself! But I don't
Very pretty Im sure. But this Rolex will set
believe the purpose of money is to buy silly toys,
you back 350,000. The ultimate ego
indulgence! Think what else you could do
to lord it over others and to indulge in greedy
with that kind of money!
consumerism to assuage ones ego. I have done
all these things in the past by the way so I'm not preaching! Money is much more
important and serious than that. Im hoping you are above such greedy trivia.

Money is for buying your freedom and then putting your dream out
into the world and making it a better place.
Of course if I help you to make money I cannot dictate what you do with it, and neither
would I presume to do so. With the money I helped them make, many of my students
failed to see further than a fancy watch and a few five-star holidays. One even bought a
helicopter! I just want you to know where I'm coming from so that you can assess if
you want to continue your studies.

The Definition of Financial Freedom

Now that you know little bit about me, one of the first things I should do is to define
financial freedom. After all we need to know what we are aiming for!

I define financial freedom as having enough income, without

needing to work for it, to cover your chosen lifestyle forever
(barring dramatic changes).

10

I added the dramatic changes bit to cover any unlikely

scenarios such as you suddenly requiring 1 million in
medical support due to a serious injury, or a meteor
striking your house etc.
As an approximate rule of thumb you need between half
a million and one million pounds in spare cash to
achieve this status in the UK (so we do not count our
home equity).
When you have this amount of money you are free at
last (basically because you can live off the interest). Your
days are finally yours to do with as you see fit.
Maybe you've always wanted to travel the world, learn to paint, play the piano, write
poetry or study quantum mechanics. Well now you can. Maybe you have wanted to devote
yourself to quiet contemplation or meditation but have been too busy. Well now you can.
If you have a dream, you can now start to think about putting your dream out into the
world. You may not know what this is yet... and why would you? Nobody told you it was
possible or allowed. They wanted you consuming and producing, not having fancy
dreams! To achieve your dream you may need some more money over and above this
financial freedom figure. Some dreams come with a small price-tag, some dreams
come with a very large price-tag. I can show you how to get this money too.

Are You With The Right Teacher?

So to summarise, you are with the right teacher if:
1. You want to learn from a genuine multimillionaire with over 32,000 satisfied students
spanning 20 years.
2. Youve ever thought you were worth more, that you could achieve more, do more, be
more free, wealthier, more powerful but that something seemed to be stopping you.
3. You are struggling for money, by your own definition.
4. You are feeling a little bit bleak about the future. You're probably okay but life
seems a little bit ho-hum and you're wondering if it's going to be like this forever.
5. You've tried a few things, spent some money and nothing seems to have worked.
6. You value your freedom over and above the greedy acquisition of more things (cars,
kitchens, sofas, gadgets, second and third homes etc.). You would rather have your life
back than a second car. You would rather have your days free than have the liability
11

of a holiday home. You would rather work a two-day week than have a wardrobe full
of designer clothes and a drawer full of trinkets and baubles. I'm not saying these
things are mutually exclusive. I'm just testing you for your preferences.
7. This is really important. Something nags away in the back of your mind. Something
you long to do. Someone you long to be. Some project worthy of you. This may stem from
childhood. I'm talking about a desire which might manifest itself as a heartache; a longing
to live a more meaningful, more fulfilled life. You balk at prostituting your days in
slavery to outcomes which do not serve your values.
If this last point has absolutely no resonance with you whatsoever, and you honestly
have no clue what I'm talking about, then I think you should consider abandoning your
studies with me at this early stage. I'm not looking for fully formed dreams at this point.
I'm after an inkling, an urge, a buried desire, an emotional twinge in response to what I am
saying.
8. Whilst not mandatory, I would also be pleased to hear that you are somewhat
disgusted by the state of the world the greed, corruption, environmental damage,
grinding poverty, injustice, creeping Big Brother statism, death, disease, religious idiocy
and general mayhem. I'm hoping you long to do something to make things better rather
than worse, but haven't until now because (unsurprisingly) you feel a little impotent and
are not really sure how you can help or change things.
If this doesn't resonate, Ill settle for you wanting to help your close friends and family.
If neither of these things resonate, and you are solely interested in filling your boots,
building our own ego empire and getting loadsa money for yourself to greedily consume
as much stuff as you can, then again respectfully, you may want to reconsider studying
with me.
9. Finally, it should be really getting to you. Your situation. It might even be making you
angry. You are at a stage in life where you are prepared to give up your illusions, get
your sleeves rolled up, and really learn from someone who has been there and done
that. In short you are ready for change. Desperate for it, maybe?

The more of those nine points you find yourself nodding in

agreement with, the more likely it is that I can help you.
In contrast, if, after reading those points, you feel they do not describe you, then now is
the time to part company. If, like an impatient child, you want money right now and you
are anxiously scanning these pages for the instant cash secret then again I respectfully
suggest I can't help you. There are plenty of get rich quick marketers out there who will
be delighted to take your money.

12

When I get into the hard-hitting stuff in the next few lessons of the advanced Beyond
Wealth financial freedom course, you are likely to become hot under the collar and angry
with me if we are not on the same wavelength right now. I can then expect a stiff email or
a letter written in green biro on lined paper telling me I am so, so wrong, or pleading for
something you can make 20,000 from by next weekend!
I'm also hoping that what youve read so far has reassured you.
I hope this is obvious, but you also need to allow a little time to achieve financial
freedom. You have spent years or maybe even decades getting into your current stuck
situation. Youve worked at it, youve created it, youve crafted it to perfection. You owe
it to yourself to allow time to turn the corner and head for sunnier shores.

What Money is For and What it is Not For

You will have noticed that the primary function of this initial lesson is for you to count
yourself in or out. Even though it's free, I don't want to waste a lot of your and my time if
my message doesn't resonate with you.
To complete this weeding-out process, let me tell you what I think money is for and what
it is not for. I have touched upon this already but this usually sorts out the serious from
the dreamers, in my experience.

Your Freedom is Everything

I've already hinted at this when I said that my passion was not only to make you a lot of
money. My passion is your freedom and money can buy you that.
This is how I multiply my efforts in line with my own values and vision. I have released
thousands of people from wage slavery.
Although I can't dictate what they do
with their newfound money and
freedom, it is my belief that when
people's creative energies are freed up,
they are able to contribute to making
the world a better place. At the very
least, because they are happier, they are
usually not hell-bent on consuming
their way through the planet!

13

Putting it simply, my game-plan is to do what I can personally to

make the world a better place, but also to multiply my efforts by
releasing thousands of others to follow a similar path if they choose.
I hope that doesn't sound grandiose. Im really quite realistic about what can be achieved.
But I also think you are either part of the problem or part of the solution. In the past I've
been a big part of the problem. These days I try to be part of the solution.
So how does that affect money and your financial freedom?
I have very clear ideas about what money is for.

I believe many people fail to generate wealth because their reasons

for wanting it are very shallow.
In other words they don't have a big enough why.
It is possible, even likely, that you want a lot of money right now. If you're anything like
my previous students, it is also highly likely that after youve paid off any debts, you want
the money for stuff. That usually equates to bigger houses, faster and shinier cars, new
kitchens, sofas, conservatories, even swimming pools, or dare I say it, helicopters! Not to
mention a holiday home or two; wardrobes stuffed full of expensive clothing; fancy fivestar holidays; truckloads of consumer toys iPhones, iPads, HD flatscreen TVs, 10k
surround sound systems and on and on and on for we are never satisfied no matter
how much we buy.
In case you hadn't noticed!
Let me repeat that I'm not against living comfortably and even having a few toys if you
really must. It depends on the percentage of your wealth that these things consume. For
example if you have 10 million, and the kitchen is looking a bit weary, then spending
30,000 on new kitchen may be justifiable if your imagination stretches no further than
this (although these days I would spend 10k on the kitchen and invest 20k in some
deserving project). But if you have 50,000 in savings, then spending 30,000 of it on a
new kitchen is utterly ludicrous. And as for taking more money out on your mortgage for
your new kitchen well I hope I hardly need say anything about that!
Also you need to start waking up and realising what a new kitchen (or whatever else
you have in mind) represents. There is a vanishingly small chance that you need a new
kitchen because your present one lacks the facilities to feed you and your family. It is a
racing certainty that you desire a new kitchen to show off or just to tell yourself that
youre living the dream. The same is true of all status possessions of course.

If you have 3 million in the bank and your car is five years old, by all means buy
yourself a new BMW if it pleases you. The amount of money it will cost is almost
insignificant to you. But if your salary is 30k a year and are looking to spend 37k on a
fully loaded BMW on finance, then this makes no sense whatsoever. It is a pure ego play
and one that is contributing to your ongoing poverty. That car, of course is not an asset, it
is a liability.

No Hairshirt!
I'm not preaching asceticism or minimalism.
Very far from it. I live in a 1 million house and
always drive a new car so I can hardly preach
minimalism! But here's the key point: these
things represent only a modest percentage of
my wealth. In other words they are sensible in
proportion to my total wealth.
Go for it... IF it represents a very small

not live extravagantly. I do not have holiday
homes (although I have had two in the past); I only have one car; I rarely buy new clothes
and I do not eat in fine restaurants or take 20k holidays. I eat simply, rarely drink and do
not smoke. I could go on, but my point is not to be holier than thou, it's to say that I have
unmasked all these indulgences for the ego games that they are. So have many other
multimillionaires by the way. You would be surprised at how many of them live quite
simply. George Soros is a good example.
Let me say again that Im not preaching. In the past I've wasted hundreds of thousands of
pounds on all kinds of trivial toys in an attempt to boost my ego and make others think
more highly of me. How very sad! But I'm wondering if this is a little part of your story
too? The cost of acting in this way is truly mind-blowing. Far from helping you towards
financial freedom, these ego toys keep you in debt and poverty which is what the
marketers want of course!
So it won't come as a surprise to you when I tell you what I think money is NOT for:

It is not for bigging yourself up; bolstering your weak ego; trying to feel
superior to, or better than others; wanting to get one up on people, to show
them that you are something really special because you have all this money. It is
not for generating jealousy in others so that you can feel smug and look down
upon them. Money is not for indulging in mindless consumerism basically
filling any little want that pops into your mind by going out and buying it. It is
not for greed buying anything you want, when you want it, indulging your
15

whims and fantasies. It is not for buying self-respect, or the illusory respect of
others, or even trying to buy salvation from existential angst or release from the
fear of death.
All of these things and more are what people traditionally waste money on and this
is why they stay broke and powerless. Mostly they are unconscious about why they
behave this way.

People are manipulated and programmed by the advertising and

media industry whose sole existence is to make big money from
people's naive stupidity.
This, of course, is why people go shopping with no clear idea of something they
genuinely need. A more pathetic pastime it is hard to contemplate!

What Money is For

Having covered what money isn't for (in my humble opinion of course) let me now say a
few words about what I think money is for.
Some want money for security and survival. Some want it for comfort. Some want it for
lifestyle and status. These are very little whys and not worthy of your greatness. They
are survival whys. They are ego whys. They are comfort whys.
Of course the money you make from being my student will buy you comfort and
security, theres nothing wrong with that, but you are also bigger than this.

You are more magnificent than these poor aspirations but you do
not yet realise it.
It may be that you stay asleep never realising it. We shall see.
Some want money for space just to be free and to explore their inner world. This is the
beginning but not the end of wisdom.

Some want money to make the world a better place and aid their
fellow travellers. This is wisdom.
You may question the assertion that survival is a trivial reason for wanting money. It was
not always so in our past, and is not so in many poorer countries today. But here, in the
first world, it is almost trivially easy to get your basic survival needs met.

What consumes the bulk of your precious time is striving for

luxuries, comfort, status and prestige.
16

Okay let us now turn to this business of how much money.

The two main levels of wealth are:

Level One: Financial Freedom. Your life has been handed back to you.
You have enough money to live modestly without ever having to work again. You're not
rich, you are merely free. However, this is a very enviable state and one enjoyed by less
than 5% of the population.

Level Two: Beyond Wealth. You are financially free and have enough money to
live exactly the sort of life you choose. You also have enough to put your dream out into
the world, if you have one. You are engaged in work that is meaningful, purposeful, and
which almost certainly aids your fellow travellers. This brings immense happiness.
The 12-part Financial Freedom Fighter course aimed at getting you financially free and
then showing you the way to Beyond Wealth.

Why do You Want Money?

You need to decide at this early point in your studies what you want money for.
Again be honest with yourself. If your imagination doesn't stretch much further than
some luxury toys, then fine, that's where you are at the moment and we can work
from there.

The why precedes the how.

By that I mean that step one of your financial freedom program is to work out why you
want money.
Most people want to launch straight into how and this is where they go wrong. They
are desperate for money, greedy for money, yearning to be rich. That makes them easy
prey for any fast cash hokum aimed at separating them from what little they have.
This is a practical course, not just dry theory. I can only help you to the extent that you
are willing to take action based on what I tell you. If you are reading this for light
entertainment, you will not change your financial circumstances.
So the first exercise I want you to do is to write down the list of things you want money
for.
To aid you in this, just imagine you've won the lottery and you're sitting down to work
out what to do with the money.

Please don't skip this exercise. You'll get out of this course exactly what you put in.
I don't have a magic wand to make you wealthy. That's more mystical thinking, similar
to the idea that you can attract wealth to you like a magnet! You cannot. That's more
fodder for the gullible. It certainly sells CDs, DVDs and books though! People absolutely
love the message get wealthy by doing nothing. They can't get enough of it. Theres
18

nothing they like better than being told they can channel wealth just by visualising riches
which will then manifest in their lives. The authors of these programs are laughing at
these people!
No, in order to make a significant change to your finances you're going to actually have
to do something. Sorry about that! In my experience this is another huge parting of the
ways.
The harsh truth is...

Many chatter about wanting wealth but are not prepared to do

anything at all to make it happen in their lives.
They are looking for others to make that happen for them.
I'm hoping you're different. I'm hoping you realise it doesn't work like that.
Make a start right now by doing that simple exercise. Don't put it off until later. It's too
important for that.

Finally
As I said earlier in this lesson, I do not want these releases to be too long. I'd like you to
be able to read each one in well under an hour.
Its main purpose is for you to see if you like my style and want me as your teacher; also
to find out if you are serious about becoming financially free, or if it is a mere pipe dream.
Serious people invest in their training.
Let me finish by saying there are several reasons why you are not free and not wealthy.
The Beyond Wealth teachings expose those who seek to enslave you and keep you
powerless and poor. Knowing this allows you to take avoiding action. They do this out of
unconsciousness, not enmity, but you still must protect yourself, just as you must protect
yourself from a physical assailant. You will be shown how to leave them far behind as
your true power is released to guide you to the wealth and freedom which you seek. You
must also conquer some inner demons and these teachings will show you how.
Due to programming since birth, most people have defaulted into becoming greedy and
lazy. They want money for no effort so that they can buy more ego and status-driven
consumables. And... they dont want to DO anything or RISK anything to make that
money. In short, they are deluded and are dissipating their life-energies. Soon they will
die having achieved little of note and leaving the planet in a worse condition than when
they arrived.
19

They are trapped deeply in the debt and credit illusion with the result that they sacrifice
their lives in the (usually fruitless) pursuit of cash and consumables. Their lives consist of
work, survival and entertainment (the bar, TV, sport, internet, shopping, eating out,
holidays, computer games, etc.). In this way they drift and dream their lives away
whilst rushing towards death.

If this is even a tiny bit your own story, you are with the right
teacher and together we can work at putting you on the path to
financial freedom.
The rewards are huge. Apart from being completely free for the rest of your life, your
real reward is self-respect. If you get the fickle, temporary respect of the herd or your
friends, then that's a bonus, but don't count on it for long!

You will look back on a happy life of achievement whilst others

recall a lifetime of impotent drudgery.
Most importantly, you will be fulfilling your true potential, and this is the greatest
pleasure a man or woman can experience. I believe it is really difficult to do this until
you become free from worker-drone drudgery. Youre just too tired after work has
sucked the best out of you.
The rest of humanity is content to live way below their potential, and this is the greatest
misery a man or woman can experience. So really it's a choice between a life of poverty
and misery or a wonderful life of wealth, achievement and the power to make a
difference.
Your choice.
You have started on the road to power, wealth and fulfillment, just as others have before
you. These teachings can guide you to a rich and satisfying life in which you fulfill your
true potential and become everything you were born to become.
To do that you need time (freedom from wage slavery) and money (most dreams come
with a price-tag).
Dont you owe it to yourself to have a shot at it?

I am not going to heavy sell this to you. Youre either ready to make a dramatic change
to your life, or youre not.
I look forward to guiding you to the wealth and freedom you seek.
