“My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil.” -- Paul Getty

This is really funny but actually, it’s also true.

Paul Getty makes the observation here that “working hard all day” alone isn’t going to do the trick – to get THAT wealthy, you have to “strike oil” once in a while.

That’s luck, fortune, finding something precious that other people need and want.

Conversely though, it also works the other way around.

If he just struck oil but DIDN’T work hard to maximise on what he’d found, would he have been that wealthy?

Well we know the answer to that – of course not. A fool and their money are soon parted, as they say, and most likely, you end up without wealth OR the deeds to the oil filled plot of land if you don’t do your homework.

Here’s our 60 second reflection exercise.

What is YOUR OIL?

How do you prospect for it, and how single minded are you in pursuing the finding of this?

Have you found it already and you’re just in the stages of “rising early and working late”?

And what other oil is still out there for you to find …?

58. Understanding Money

This is a spell. Read it out ALOUD, three times is the charm.

A powerful force
in the world of man
I open myself
to learn all that I can
I now lay aside
all I thought that I knew
and I learn all there is
bright and true, fresh and new
I don't judge any longer
free myself of the old
and I call on the force
and the power of gold
tell and teach me and reach me
so that I might
use this power for all
that is good, that is right

By the future and past
by the sun and the rain
by the stars and the sunrise
that will come yet again,
let my knowledge and wisdom
of money now grow
this is my will, so now make it so.
