If you're serious, and by putting up the post you've shown yourself as being open to ideas and tips which is hugely important, read all the good stuff. Go to the library and get out motivational/inspirational books, you'll be amazed at what you get out of them. Go to the business section of a bookstore and browse the motivational books there, pick a couple that fit with your way of thinking and buy them. They will be the best money you ever spend. Start with "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Surely one of the greatest books ever written.
Read the financial sections and columns of the papers, not just the raw data and headlines about things you can't do anything about, but good columns by financial wizards (Noel Whittaker as an example) on financial management and wealth strategies.
Be willing to take calculated risks with your money unless you have that much that you can afford to lose it on a gamble.
Be open to new ideas and look out for opportunities and if they come up, grab them, don't die wondering.
If there's something holding you back from doing what you want to do or being where you want to be in life, take the steps to change that, things do not change on their own. You only get one life, make the most of it.
Don't believe that anyone with lots of money has never really worked hard, it just doesn't happen unless they're born into it. Working hard means different things to different people though.
I am fortunate enough to have gone through great changes and a "reinvention" as the term goes, Don't be afraid to do it.
The Mustang will come, but take stock of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
I hope this hasn't come across arrogant or as a lecture, it's just what I firmly believe in and what has worked for me.
You asked!
Best of luck.
