BUILDING TRUE WEALTH – DR. DAN’S THREE ECONOMIES

BUILDING TRUE WEALTH – DR. DAN’S THREE ECONOMIES

 

Thank you Paul Williams and Tracey Jackson for having blessed and enriched us all with the new website “Gratitude and Trust ”.  I look forward to reading the 2014 release of your book as well. I am honored and grateful again in accepting your invitation to become a Gratitude and Trust guest author.

In this first writing I plan to share some simple secrets of building true wealth. I hope by the time you finish reading this that you will agree that there are three and not just one economy. I know you will agree that what I call ‘Buddy Bucks’ and ‘Soul Bucks’ are worth way more than any government currency I refer to as ‘Caesar Bucks’. I will also further simplify, “The Best Currency” section introduced in my last book, “Analyzing Monsters.

 

Dr. Dan’s Three Economies

Again true wealth comes from what I call the three economies. The three economies are not of equal importance. The least important economy is Common Governmental or Financial Currencies like the dollar or euro.  I refer to this economy as “Caesar Bucks”. It is extremely sad to me that too many people desperately chase after this singular ‘wealth’ their entire life and never balance their life or bank account with the two other more important currencies. The second most important and valuable currency is what I call “Buddy Bucks”.  Buddy Bucks are acquired when one is a friend and friendly to others.  Positive socialization, helping and being helped by others in a non-codependency fashion epitomize wealth in Buddy Bucks.

The most important economy and primary source of wealth is acquiring “Soul Bucks”. Soul Bucks are earned by assisting self and others to better define and understand a power greater than self. Mindful meditation allows us to listen to God or a higher power. Praying enables us to talk to our higher power. Many of you reading this may realize for the first time that you are already real a millionaire or billionaire already in Buddy Bucks and or Soul Bucks if not yet in Caesar Bucks.

 

How do I Become a Millionaire

When I went into pre-med. “I was shocked into reality as I discovered how cold and detached most practitioner’s day to day operations really were from their patients and most certainly families. I decided to enter what seemed to me at the time, the kindness based field of positive thinking and psychotherapy instead.”

“I was blessed to begin working with populations no hospital or physician wanted – substance abusers and the true medical lepers of the day – the dual diagnosed or individuals with co occurring illnesses! The rehab process reminded me of the care and sacrifice so prevalent in my seminary experiences. Because of our sick model of medicine these still epidemic patient populations are filling jail and prison cots as well as non rehab hospital beds as never before. Death by sleeping pills alone is topping 500,000 per year.

The costs to our families and society will continue the tsunami of cruel denial destroying on our nation and world for that matter. The only true cure for substance addictions even today is to never use or become dependent in the first place. Having failed that, getting great help and early whole family recovery is the best option. By the time a family becomes chronically enmeshed in their addiction process, the revolving door corrections and hospitalizations waste and deplete our limited fiscal resources.

 

Are You In a Toxic Trance?

Again I have analyzed that most people have self suggested (hypnotized) themselves into what I refer to as a toxic trance. Toxic Trance victims repeatedly tell themselves that they are damaged or victims of some person place or thing. They cannot become happy, successful or wealthy because…  I have become the world’s leading dehypnotist by repeatedly suggesting (hypnosis) there be no use of toxic phases. The toxic phrase, ‘Yes But” alone drowns the wisdom, advice and compliments of others almost before they speak. Total abstinence from toxic feelings, emotions and phrases is essential. My 24-hour rule, “thank the other person for giving you attention and think about their advice or compliment for 24 hours before commenting, discounting or talking over what another has shared with you.

 

I’m Into Survival Now

So the day comes when you and others realize you and your family are millionaires in the three economies. Now you can relax and enjoy life?  No – remember one begins the enjoyment process immediately each second leading up to meeting any measure of a millionaire. One of my favorite cartoons from the New Yorker illustrates an older, well dressed, and very rich (Caesar Buck) appearing gentleman slumped over in his overstuffed chair. A vast French garden can be noted in the distance beyond huge open French doors. He is speaking up to two well-dressed businessmen. The rich old man moans, “I’m well beyond making it – I’m into survival now.”  The lesson here is to understand that challenges remain no matter what ones social status or wealth is.

 

“You will never be recognized as a prophet in your own village”

 

Ask any top salesperson or experienced multi level marketer and they will suggest you avoid selling to family members. Family members will follow your lead if you show individual success and happiness by working on yourself. Paul Williams and I demonstrated decades ago this whole family, “You change first and demonstrate your happy and healthy lifestyle so others will want what you have” in the film “Family Intervention”.   My first wife never believed I would make much money or be successful as the world’s first (and only) clinical and stage Dehypnotist or Builder of Millionaire Families. Why you ask do I care what my first wife believed?  Well I care because I am still married to her and so far she is right. Please help me help you become successful in all we do and keep contact with Gratitude and Trust. True Wealth is reflected in your inner core (Buddy and Soul Bucks) not your external Bank account (Caesar Bucks).
