HOW TO HAVE YOUR MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR EVER PAT MESITI Pat Mesiti says achieving prosperity is simple… if you follow these guidelines. at Mesiti, mindset expert and international speaker has built some of Australia’s largest people organisations. Having sold over two million copies of his books and materials, he knows a thing or two about wealth and prosperity. He says prosperity is simple, but to achieve it you need to follow some guidelines. ‘When people ask me how to get rich, I say “very slowly!” Get rich quick schemes don’t work but a change of mindset and some new habits definitely will!’ Here are some of Pat’s top tips for creating more wealth this year: 1. Look back on your financial history and identify patterns that haven’t served you well – you might not even be aware of them. Awareness is a very good start to changing your future path. Once you are aware, don’t repeat those mistakes! 2. Set goals and have dreams. You’ve got to know why you want financial freedom so you’ve got something to work towards. Paint a picture in your mind of what you want your life to look like 10 years from now, so you know why you want more than you currently have. 3. Simplify your life; need less ‘things’. Don’t buy that dress or those shoes for a quick happiness fix, because it’s not going to help you achieve financial freedom in the long run.
