In his book "What I didn't Learn at School But Wish I had" Jamie McIntyre
mentioned: 'My millionaire mentor said, "Mindset represents 80% of success.
Strategies only equal 20%. Therefore, if we neglect mindset it is going to
hold us back from financial succcess." I often believe that the reason why I
have excelled financially in the past eight years of my life, where many
other people around me who have had the same opportunities have not, is
because I developed my mindset. My world has changed mainly because I have
changed. That is exciting because the faster we change our mindset, the
faster we will create the things we want.'
Mindset is very important and crucial for our success. With this in mind, we have compiled some articles that can help us in creating a mindset for success.

5 Ways to Attract More Success - by Colleen Kettenhofen
Take responsibility for the choices you've made in life. No matter where you're at, accept that you are where you are as a result of your choices. Then you can effectively move on to finding your passion, fulfilling your dreams and earning multiple streams of income. I know of highly intelligent, highly educated people who will not take that first simple step.

Is it Bad to be Rich? - by Jeff Smith
Do you often dream about not having to rely on other people for your financial well being? Yet, as much as we secretly dream of being rich and even the wealthy lifestyle, we are often confused by our motivation for such good fortune. I'm sure you'll agree, wealth for pure wealth sake can be perceived as greed and that's one of the most negative words of the 20th centuries.

At the turn of the millennium, more people are starting to realize that the world is wealthy. The power of today’s system allows one to find ways to achieve financial freedom without the critical essence of hard work. With smart work, there is a different sense and approach to life. Sadly, the current educational system is left with classical teaching. Most of the things that we learn in college refine us to work hard and work for money. With the number of new degrees and graduates cropping up, most of them still get stuck with 20th century thinking. Thus, people who seek financial literacy in the 21st century know what the trends are and act on it with a positive mindset.

Avoiding Impulse Spending
Impulse spending will not only put a strain on your finances but your relationships, as well. To overcome the problem, the first thing to do is learn to separate your needs from your wants. Advertisers blitz us hawking their products at us 24/7. The trick is to give yourself a cooling-off period before you buy anything that you have not planned for.
Spend Wisely to Save Money
Have you ever noticed that the things you buy every week at the grocery and hardware stores go up a few cents between shopping trips? Not by much…just by a little each week but they continue to creep up and up. All it takes for the price to jump up by a lot is a little hiccup in the world wide market, note the price of gasoline as it relates to world affairs. There is a way that we can keep these price increases from impacting our personal finances so much and that is by buying in quantity and finding the best possible prices for the things we use and will continue to use everyday… things that will keep just as well on the shelves in our homes as it does on the shelves at the grocery store or hardware store.
Investing Basics
Too often, people invest money with dreams of becoming rich overnight. This is possible – but it is also rare. It is usually a very bad idea to start investing with hopes of becoming rich overnight. It is safer to invest your money in such a way that it will grow slowly over time, and be used for retirement or a child’s education. However, if your investment goal is to get rich quick, you should learn as much about high-yield, short term investing as you possibly can before you invest.
