With the wealth that still exists in our world today, why is it that so few people get to share in it? What is going on that limits us to sharing in only a fraction of the wealth, and what can we do about it?

When Jamie McIntyre was dead broke and sleeping on a friend's couch, he had time to contemplate his life and the world around him. Jamie was curious why there are some people who start with nothing and manage to become millionaires, while others, who seem much more intelligent, often with a higher education, yet in terms of financial success fail, their lives are filled with hard work and struggle.

What is the difference between those who succeed and those who don't? Is it a matter of luck that some people acquire great wealth? Perhaps these people buy more Lotto tickets, or they marry into money or inherit it. Or is there more to it than that?

Jamie McIntyre
Success Coach, Self-Made Millionaire, Successful Investor, Author, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and Educator
Starting 12 years ago, Jamie McIntyre took less than 5 years to become a self-made millionaire. In the last 8 years as a world leading educator and success coach, he has touched the lives of over 225,000 Australians and New Zealanders, and now people worldwide, producing many millionaires in the process and helping thousands retire early. By using the same techniques as Jamie applied to his life, as taught in the 21st Century Academy from 20 of the Academy's selected speakers, you too can become financially free in a surprisingly short time.

Only 3% of the population become what we call financially independent, which means that at age 65 they are able to stop working, but continue to live in a basic manner. It doesn't mean they're rich. It just means they have enough money to support themselves, usually less than $35,000 p.a. Only 1% of the population at age 65 will become what we call "rich". The ABS classifies "rich" as having a net worth in excess of $1 million dollars. There are nearly 200,000 millionaires in Australia, but even then, do these people necessarily have the lifestyle associated with a "millionaire"? Many of these millionaires have earned the title because their property is worth a million dollars. These are the millionaires that still lack time, money and unfortunately for them TIME + MONEY = LIFESTYLE and they fail to have both.

It's clear that this so-called "success" formula most of us have been taught isn't working. Should we look at this as evidence it is highly unlikely that we're going to succeed and say, "What's the point of really trying? The people making it must be really, really lucky". That's what most people would do, but you'll find out that Jamie isn't like most people!

Jamie began to look for role models or mentors who had succeeded in the areas he wanted to. He realised that he needed to have mentors who had produced phenomenal results in their life. One of these shared a major success secret with him, and that was "If you want to succeed, you need to figure out what most Australians are doing and do the exact opposite". Jamie calls this the "Law of Opposites". Once you start using this formula, the decisions you need to make in order to succeed, become simpler and more clear-cut.

Apart from the information these mentors shared with Jamie, they also impressed upon him that he needed to act on the information they gave him. Jamie says, "You may think information is power, but until you take action on that information, nothing will happen. Once you learn how to apply the information and do so, your life will begin to improve faster than you ever thought possible!"

Financial success isn't just about making money, it's what you do with your money that counts. Jamie learned how to keep that money, manage his cash flow and turn that money into more money. In other words, learned how to make money even without any, ideally having it come in whilst you're sleeping.

Because once you can do that you can free up your time, have the lifestyle you choose, get on with living your purpose and spending time doing the most important things in your life.

Many people also feel guilty about being wealthy. Jamie did, until he realised that it's possible to become wealthy by helping others. He could feel good about it, still grow spiritually as a person by ensuring he applied universal laws and principles and abided by the laws of Karma.

When you look at the universe or physical plane, you can understand that it wasn't designed for only a few people to be rich. If we divided all the wealth up in the world among all the people, in fact, everyone would be a millionaire. The systems though have been designed so that only a few people have the wealth. To pull yourself out of the systems you need to put in a certain amount of energy, have focus and apply effective and proven financial strategies to break free.

If you're like the majority of Australians the answer would be no!

Jamie realised that if the school system isn't teaching people how to succeed, then how will people ever live their dreams? If you haven't already read a book called, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", by Robert Kiyosaki, then it's highly recommended you get yourself a copy. Most people would agree it's a good start on the subject of money. What the author talks about is that school is designed to teach us how to work for money. In other words, we're taught how to get a job. Nowhere in our school life are we taught how to have money work for us to give us our much wanted freedom.

In other words, we're taught only one part of the equation and not the other. The concept of how to have money work for us could be taught to 10 to 18 year old's at school in a short time frame. It would make a big difference in their life. Jamie believes our education system has planted seeds of failure, frustration and financial disaster in our societies. Unfortunately, we see evidence of it everyday.

"If You Want To Be Rich and Happy Don't Go To School", became an international best-seller by really challenging people to question the value of our own education system and ask, "If the education system is so great, why then do most people end up financially as dismal failures in their life?" Wouldn't you agree that it's a fair enough question?

Jamie identified that our education system is often outdated having been designed two hundred years ago in the 19th Century. So immediately we can see a challenge with that

Jamie began to see the need for a 21st Century education in his life. He actually searched and travelled the world to compile and develop for himself an education that would have him excel in today's fast changing world. Because no university existed to teach such a valuable and much needed education. Jamie had to invest over $100,000 over a three year period to access people who had produced outstanding results in different aspects of their lives. He was studying through seminars, personal mentors, interviewing successful people, researching hundreds of books, basically whatever it took. His research paid off though as Jamie's life completely transformed over a period of three to five years. From being $150,000 in personal debt, he became a self-made millionaire whilst still in his twenties, founding several companies, massively improving his health and importantly his relationships to live his dream life. He was able to model and learn from multi-millionaires, entrepreneurs, investors even highly acclaimed success coaches, such as Anthony Robbins, world renowned economist and presidential advisor, Paul Zane Pilzer, and leaders such as General Norman Schwarzkopf of Desert Storm and Marketing Guru Jay Abrahams.

After producing outstanding results in many areas of his life, Jamie decided to fulfil a promise he made to one of his personal mentors. This promise was that after successfully applying the knowledge and strategies to his own situation, proving they worked and transforming his own life, he would pass them on to others. This is how 21st Century Academy was born, in December 1998, after Jamie had achieved many of his desired results. The Academy has now become a multi-million dollar educational organisation impacting on over 225,000 peoples' lives, providing a 21st Century education designed by Jamie to educate others. Unlike many educational companies 21st Century has a proven track record of graduate success over the last 9 years, and is preparing to become a Public Listed Company.

21st Century Academy runs seminars and provides Homestudy Programs to teach everyday people worldwide how to become successful in all areas of their life, using 21st Century strategies and skills that Jamie and others have successfully applied to transform their lives.

Jamie will amaze you with the simplicity of the strategies he used to create financial independence in such a short time span. Jamie's teaching style ensures you will understand these strategies and leave with the knowledge and belief that you can apply them to your own life. This is why Jamie is considered one of the greatest 21st Century communicators and educators in Australia. He will cover concepts like:

•  Why 95% of people repel money and don't even realise it.

•  How to legally print money and develop cashflow even without any money to start.

•  How to become an Outcome Focused, Purpose Driven, Action Oriented individual.

•  How to establish a definite plan and date when you will never have to work for money ever again.

What is unique about 21st Century Academy's seminars, unlike many others is they don't just focus on one area, e.g. financial strategies. They also recognise that emotional intelligence and the correct mindset are critical otherwise many people fail to apply the valuable financial strategies. They also realise that financial success is just one important area of one's life, so they want to ensure your focus is on lifestyle and quality of life as ultimately that's what most people desire, not just money.

Then when it comes to all the financial strategies you'll learn they don't just focus on one area like property and neglect shares as they both work well together. They also teach you skills to increase your active income and cashflow management, so you can access more money for investing, and how to turn the Internet into a powerful investment vehicle to generate passive
income and how to build businesses.

Then after the Homestudy Program and/or 4 Day intensive seminars they don't just leave you by yourself like many organisations do. They provide you with a multitude of resources and contacts you'll have access to continue your journey with such as Licensed Sharebrokers, 21st Century Accounting, 21st Century Finance, 21st Century Insurance and 21st Century Property Sourcing.
