Wealth

I've read many books, article, anything that has crossed my path on this subject. I've know the basics since my twenties but for some reason I'm still unable to put what I know into practise.
I have learned more about wealth over the years but still am a "wannabe" instead of an "I am". What part of the thought process changes that since all resources confirm that you must believe that you are capable of creating great wealth to do so.
So, wealth challenge #1: change my beliefs concerning wealth.
How? You say.

• Past: look at past and finish what needs finishing - organizing papers; looking at past mistakes and finding positive lessons; closing chapters so as to move forward; find out what I truly believe deep down in my psyche i.e. do I really believe that "life is hard then you die"?
• Present: what can I do today to change things? So much good advice out there, which one to pick first to try?
• Future: What do I really want? How much? Why? What will I do with it? I guess I had better set up a plan.
