What Do You Want From Your Money?

What do you want from your money? Think about that for a minute. It's a loaded question, a difficult question, and a question with an infinite number of answers. But it's a question you need to address.

Some of it won't be easy. It's important that you understand that up front. Setting financial goals means making at least some temporary decisions (and I say "temporary" because you'll certainly revise them along the way) about not just your money but your life. It means thinking about how big a family you want to raise, how you wish to retire, and whether your aging mother should live with you or in a nursing home. It means dealing with the queasy subjects of who should be the guardians for your minor children and how and when you need to write a will.

But the payoff will be enormous. Just think about how good it would feel to have a plan in place to deal with all the "what-if" scenarios in your life (what if I lose my job, what if I get divorced, what if I become disabled, etc.) And the rewards won't just be emotional. Once you leap in and get hold of your finances, there are a number of small moves you can makes that will pay off big in the wallet.

Change Your Programming

Our self esteem is the result of what we are programmed to believe. Our conditioning, from the day we were born, has created, reinforced, and nearly permanently cemented most of what we believe about ourselves and what we believe about most of what goes on around us. Whether the programming was right or wrong, true or false; the result of it is what we believe. It all starts with our programming!

It is our programming that sets up our beliefs, and the chain reaction begins. In logical progression, what we believe determines our attitudes, affects our feelings, directs our behavior, and determines our success or failure:

1. Programming creates beliefs.
2. Beliefs create attitudes.
3. Attitudes create feelings.
4. Feelings determine actions.
5. Actions create results.

That's how the brain works. If you want to manage yourself in a better way, and change your results, you can do so at any time you choose. Start with the first step. Change your programming.

The Key to Progress

Crawford H. Greenewalt, president of Du Pont, in a speech called "Key to Progress—the Uncommon Man" has said, "Just when we will realize (the) promise of the future and how far the new developments will take us depends on how well we are able to recognize and encourage individual achieve­ment. We cannot move very rapidly if we shut the door on our ablest people by absorbing them in the lifeless tomb of mediocrity.

"Try as we will, we can create no synthetic genius, no composite leader. Men are not interchangeable parts like so many pinion gears or carburetors; genius, as John Adams said, is bestowed 'imperiously' by nature upon an individual. And behind every advance of the human race is a germ of crea­tion growing in the mind of some lone individual, an indi­vidual whose dreams waken him in the night while others lie contentedly asleep.


"We need those dreams, for today's dreams represent to­morrow's realities. Yet, in the very nature of our mass effort, there lies this grave danger—not that the individual may cir­cumvent the public will, but that he will himself be con­formed and shaped to the general pattern, with the loss of his unique, original contributions. The group nature of business enterprise itself will provide adequate safeguards against public affront. The great problem, the great question, is to develop within the framework of the group the creative genius of the individual.

"It is a problem for management, for public education, for government, for the church, for the press—for everyone. The stake is both the material one of preserving our most produc­tive source of progress and the spiritual one of insuring to each individual the human dignity, which is his birthright.

"I know of no problem so pressing, of no issue so vital. For unless we can guarantee the encouragement and fruitfulness of the uncommon man, the future will lose for all men its virtue, its brightness, and its promise."

Brainstorming is one way we can discover the uncommon man and his ideas. It can help solve the great problems of life. It can be used to solve the vast problems of science, of government, of philosophy.

Most of us use only a fraction of our brain power. We can no longer afford that great waste. We must learn how to mobilize all our creative force to solve the fundamental prob­lems of our world.


This, then, is the mission and the charge to each of us: we must develop our own creativity and our own subconscious, so that we can make a telling contribution to the progress of our civilization.

In learning how to do this, we shall all be explorers of an area that is hardly known.

No one yet really knows how the mind functions, why it is so very much more than a giant computer reduced to portable size. Each of us can, however, probe the limits of this world.

This book is not an end. It is a summing up of the present art of brainstorming, but it is a beginning and an inspiration to discover what we can do with our brain power to make our world a better one.

Try brainstorming—and find out how to think up ideas that make a difference in your life and our world.
