There are three core beliefs you must adapt in order to achieve financial abundance. Stuart Zadel discusses the third and final belief in this post.
Alright. We’re going to get to the third belief you need to adapt to achieve financial abundance. Napoleon Hill and Andrew Carnegie said this: “Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve.” What’s the keyword there? It starts with B.
Belief.
WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE …
Here’s the truth: you wouldn’t conceive it if you didn’t have the ability to do it. But the belief is actually the key. How many of you actually – or I’ll show you this first – these are the garbage bins in front of my apartment in Cronulla. It’s where I lived for about 20 years when I had my gym.
Here’s the truth: you wouldn’t conceive it if you didn’t have the ability to do it. But the belief is actually the key. How many of you actually – or I’ll show you this first – these are the garbage bins in front of my apartment in Cronulla. It’s where I lived for about 20 years when I had my gym.
Now, I used to hate taking the bins out. I never thought it was my responsibility. I hardly made any rubbish! Living by myself, and I was very minimalist. So why do I have to take out the bins? Like I got one bag in the bin, I’ll just take it out on the street when they’re already out. I just have a very negative attitude until an entrepreneur, a great guy called Wade Paul in Cronulla.
This guy was the most up person I’ve ever met. He was always on his toes. He’s an entrepreneur, and he was always positive and had high energy. He said, “Stuart, I take my bins out all the time for my whole block.” He said, “All the old ladies love me. They bake me cakes. Everyone loves me, everyone knows me.” He’s just a wonderful guy. At that moment, one conversation with a smart guy changed my world. And from then on, I started taking out all the bins for everyone in my block.
… IT CAN ACHIEVE
Now, up until that time, we had a stratum. We had yearly stratum meetings and Deidre Burgess, my Strata Manager then said, “Stu, this bin stuff that’s going on in your block, you don’t need to do that anymore.” I said, “What do you mean? Just let everyone else do it?” She said, “No. There are these couple of guys that have started out a new business and all they do is they take the bins out for you on rubbish night and they bring them back in when they’re done. And I think that they charge like 50 bucks a week per unit block.”
Now, I want you guys to think about this. How many of you think there’s an extra $100,000 right under your nose now for you within the next 6 months? How many of you don’t think that’s true? Yes, don’t be definite on that one. So, I want to share with you these guys’ wealth strategy? Because this is highly complicated and technical. So, I need you to pay attention.
WHAT THE BIN COLLECTORS ACHIEVED
They come around to our apartment block on a Monday night. They go away, they do it for a few unit blocks, and they come back Tuesday morning. But this is where the magic happens. That’s their entire business strategy. And Deidre said to me, “Stuart, these two guys, 50 bucks an apartment or whatever it was obviously in the area where there are lots of apartments and all that sort of stuff. 50 bucks an apartment. They have no car, they have no office. Two guys.
Let’s say they’ve got 50 bucks an apartment, let’s say they do 100 apartments because there’s hundreds of apartments around the place. What’s that times 50? How much?
$5,000.
100 times 50 is $5,000 just on a Monday night to Tuesday morning. They have no car, they have no office, they have no overheads. Multiply that by 52 weeks a year. So these guys are making over $250,000 a year from the most basic idea.
Now, you know what your problem is? You guys are too intelligent. You guys are overthinking this thing. A quarter of a million dollars within 12 months working two days a week. You guys work 5 or 6 days a week, some of you 7. These guys, 2 days a week, have 5 days off and they’re out-grossing you by a margin of about two to three in most cases. That is phenomenal.
And so our third belief that you have got to get is right here.
THE THIRD KEY TO FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE
How many of you have ever had a business idea or invention in your lifetime that you’ve not acted upon? How many of you have one of those? Cool.
What’s worse? How many of you have had a business or an idea that you’ve not acted upon but somebody else has and you see them in the media or in the news and you said, “That’s my idea! You stole it!”
How many of you have ever done that? That’s even worse, isn’t it?
How many ideas people thought like getting honey out of the beehive over the last couple of centuries? And those guys did it.
Here’s the thing, in every active genius, you are saying your own rejected thoughts. You said at one time, “That will never work.” “If that could work, somebody would’ve already done it.” Isn’t that right?
So, the third belief that we’ve got to have, it’s very simple, very few words.
It’s abundant.
It’s possible.
And the final line is, it’s possible for me.
It is possible for ME.

If you’re going to say it like that, at least paraphrase it and say, “I think” or “As best as I can tell right now.” Don’t hang it out like that.
