Default Business: 3 Secrets of Physics that can make you Rich

Isaac Newton was the greatest physicist of all time.





However, many people don’t know that while Newton was born into a poor farming family, he died a very rich man. In fact, Newton was appointed Master of the British Mint, in control of all the money created in Great Britain.





You can find all the details at http://www.newton.org.uk , the virtual museum of Isaac Newton.





How did Newton, who was born to a poor family, end up being one of the richest men in his time in Great Britain? Could the seeds of Newton’s financial genius be discovered in Newton’s Laws?





You’d be surprised at what you could learn, and at what you can APPLY directly in your life.





Let’s review Newton’s Laws. You may have seen them in school, but don’t worry if you haven’t. I’ll explain what’s needed as we go along.





In physics, Newton’s Laws are the laws of motion, of how things move.





It turns out that we can also apply these laws to movement in your life, how you can get from where you are NOW, to where you want to BE.





First, here are Newton’s Laws the way that physicists understand them:


[*]The Law of INERTIA. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
[*]The Law of ACCELERATION. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to force acting on the object.
[*]The Law of ACTION/REACTION. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.




These may not mean much to you now, but they soon will.





Use these Laws to move from where you are now, to where you want to be. Here’s how.





*






Law One: The Law of INERTIA




"If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going."



– Professor Irwin Corey





The Law of Inertia says that any body will keep going in the direction it is going, unless a force is applied and energy is used to change its direction.





Or, if a body is standing still, that’s where it will stay unless a force is applied and energy is used to get it going.





Let’s say you kick a soccer ball towards the goal. That ball will keep going in the same direction, unless someone – like another player – applies force to change its course. That force could be in the form of a kick or stopping the ball with his or her foot, or the goalie blocking the ball with his hands.





Another situation could happen as well. You might kick the soccer ball, but it is traveling so that it will miss the goal. However, a kick or a header by one of your team-mates could make that soccer ball travel in the right direction again, towards the goal.





Your life is like that soccer ball. Are you headed towards your goal? If you are, then that’s great. But if you’re not, then you must apply ENERGY to move yourself to head towards the goal again. SOWPUB can help give that soccer ball a nudge in the right direction.





Without using some ENERGY to change your direction, you’ll keep heading where you’re heading. A person who’s not heading towards the goal means that he or she won’t get there. That’s why you must expend ENERGY to make sure your life is heading towards your goal.





Some people are not even heading anywhere at all. They’re like a soccer ball that’s just sitting still, going nowhere. To get it moving towards the goal, you must give that soccer ball a KICK, expend some ENERGY and get it moving again, to overcome INERTIA. SOWPUB can help you to get moving.





*






Law Two: The Law of ACCELERATION






The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the FORCE which is applied to
the object. Acceleration means how fast something is speeding up. If you’d like to speed up your wealth acquisition, then you must keep adding force.





Let’s say you’re driving your car. Suddenly, on a level stretch of road, you slide the car into neutral. Your car will keep coasting along at more-or-less the same speed. The only way you can make the car go FASTER on a flat road is to put it back in gear and hit the acceleration. That is, you have to apply FORCE. That’s what the Law
of Acceleration says – unless you apply FORCE, you can’t move faster.





In order to get to your destination faster, you must hit the accelerator and apply some
FORCE.





Here, your life is like your car. Unless you apply FORCE to your life, you won’t reach your goal faster. To reach it faster, you need to apply this FORCE in your life.





The FORCE you can apply in your life is the power of KNOWLEDGE.





With the right knowledge, you’ll find the short-cuts, and avoid the dead-ends. You’ll reach your intended destination much faster. Apply FORCE to speed up your trip to reach your goal, by applying the power of KNOWLEDGE, like the kind of knowledge you’ll find here at SOWPUB.





How do you get the right knowledge? Many successful people have a habit of reading all
they can about how they can get where they want to go. If that means making more money, then these people have read every book imaginable on creating wealth. And not only that – they also seek out knowledge directly from people with proven successful track records in making money.





One of the best and quickest methods to achieve what you need is given by the PYRAMID OF ACCOMPLISHMENT in the Square One Workshops.





But don’t make the mistake of just theorizing without doing. Discover the right knowledge, and then APPLY it, and you’ll find one of the shortcuts to success.

Law Three: The Law of ACTION/REACTION






For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.





When you fire a gun, you feel the force of the recoil. The bullet flies out the front of the gun. The equal and opposite reaction is the backwards kick which you feel when you’re holding the gun.





Another example is the jet engine. Jet engines push air very fast out the back of the engine. The equal and opposite reaction is the force that pushes the whole plane forward through the air. The force is powerful enough to push a Jumbo 747 all the way from one continent to another.





In life, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Call it what you will – the law of Karma, or the law of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."





This law teaches you not to cheat. A cheater or con-man will find that the law will rebound back upon him or her, and he or she will suffer the consequences.





But it also tells us that if you treat people well, you will benefit. To RECEIVE, you must first GIVE.





People value different things in different ways. You must be sure that what you are giving is valuable to people. You could start making hula hoops, but if nobody wants hula hoops, they won’t value it.





But if suddenly there’s a craze again for hula hoops, then they will value it highly.





Give people what they will value. That’s how to use the Law of Action/Reaction. The more valuable what you give is, the more you will receive.





To find out if something is valuable to people, you must do some market testing. You must be sure that there is either






(a) already a significant unfulfilled hunger there for what you want to give, or





(b) that there will be an INCREASING hunger for what you want to give, that the trend is going in the right direction.







If you keep this in mind, you will be using the Law of Action/Reaction to discover that by giving something of value to people, you will receive.

Recap





Here’s a recap of the 3 Laws of Physics that could make you Rich, phrased in a way that you can directly apply it to your life:


[*]The Law of Inertia – Expend some ENERGY to make sure you are heading in the right direction, towards your goal. If you’re not moving at all, use some energy to get over your inertia.
[*]The Law of Acceleration – you can get to your goal faster by applying a force, and that force is the right KNOWLEDGE.
[*]The Law of Action/Reaction – GIVE what is valuable to people in order to GET. You can find out what's valuable through market testing.




Read over and apply these in your own life, and I guarantee you’ll do better than you were doing before.






Do you have a story which illustrates any of the above principles? I'd love to read it.... :)

Best wishes,

Dien Rice
