Myth no 1: Millionaires work 10 times as hard as the
ordinary man in the street.
Number 2: Millionaires are more intelligent and better
educated than you and I.
Number 3: Honest people don't get rich.
Number 4: You need money to make money. Most millionaires
have "begged and borrowed" to get started. Some have
even been bankrupt and fired.
Financial prosperity and or a fulfilling life well lived are goals we
can all achieve if we understand the principles of success.
The main attraction of money is FREEDOM to choose your
desired lifestyle. Earning a great deal of money should not be
for it's own sake. I really believe that most people are too busy
earning a living to stop and think about how they could get rich
and solve their moneyproblems...and that is the reason why
they haven't been able to do so.
Do you ever think through your particular situation?
Do you like what you do for a living? Millionaires love their
occupations. Work is leisure, your hobby. Most millionaires
continue working long after becoming millionaires.
Don't give yourself a choice, an exit. "Put your back to the
wall" and "burn the bridges behind you". I had no other
options here in "Sleepy Hollow" and the internet is my "tool"
to reach out to the world and achieve my personal goals.
ACQUIRE THE MENTALITY OF A MILLIONAIRE: Most
people don't believe there are secrets to wealth - they
believe rich people are just "lucky". Most people don't
believe they can ever become rich. BELIEVE that you
can and crave it passionately. Use your IMAGINATION.
Think and act successfully.
BELIEF is the key.
Have FAITH.
FOCUS ON A GOAL. Write down the amount of money you
want and how much time you'll allow yourself to acquire it. In
order to achieve monetary wealth, you need an amount and
a deadline to aim at. This is the magic of a quantified objective
working on the sub-conscious mind. Because...if you don't
know where you're heading, chances are you'll never get
anywhere. What do we ask from life?: 99 out of 100 people
don't think about it.
So write it down.
DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
Develop the right ATTITUDE and LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES
everywhere.
They are right there within reach.
Then BELIEVE, TRULY BELIEVE, YOU CAN REACH YOUR
TARGET.
Stretch yourself. "The greatest limitations are those man imposes
upon himself". Therefore, the greatest obstacle to success is a
mental obstacle. Do things differently and ignore the objections
of "rational" people.
Set yourself an objective initially that is reasonable, yet bold (within
reach, but ambitious... so you are forced to extend yourself to reach
it). Most people are overly conservative and too scared to dream.
Expand your mental boundaries - don't be a creature of habit with
your mental limitations.
Tap your inner resources: "Character is destiny". I've certainly had
to do that here in "Sleepy Hollow" through relying upon the powers
of the human imagination, after being dropped out of the sky her
ten years ago!
DESIRE best sustains your thoughts. The more passionate your
desire, the quicker it will happen.
Benefit from the knowledge ("the pearls of wisdom") found in
books, like this one (plug plug).
Read books and keep repeating positive words. Repetition
of affirmations really works by imprinting positive thoughts in
the mind. NEVER GIVE UP.
Mastering our own destiny and fulfilling our potential as
"human beans"
, our dreams is our ultimate purpose in life. In so doing, I
also believe we can (no WILL) glorify God, the Great Creator.
Find your passion and extend your goals. Love what you do.
Find work that satisfies you and you will have found your
passion.
I love researching and studying the human mind, then applying
the principles to see whether they DO work. MASTER THE
UNCONSCIOUS (SUBCONSCIOUS) MIND: Accept it as the
truth and you will. If you have faith that you will accomplish
something, you will. The more you internalise it (a fancy term
used by those rather weird 'psycho types') which simply means
making it real within you), the more powerful it
becomes. "You can do very little with faith, but you can do
nothing without it."
- Samuel Butler
Your unconscious mind is extremely susceptible to the power
of words and it can be easily influenced. Words like "can't"
engrave themselves in the unconscious; so that negative
thoughts and feelings become your self-image. To become
rich you have to create a new self-image. Self-image depends l
argely on your expectation about who you're going to
be.
So work on your SELF-IMAGE. Believe in your uniqueness
and ability to make your own special contribution to the world
no matter how small, or how dull, or unintelligent you think
you may be. Everybody has some unique talent and there
is no other like you in this world. There is a seed of greatness
in each one of us - a precious resource to achieve
something unique in our lives.
SO PLANT THAT FIRST SEED ON YOUR PERSONAL
PATH TO GREATNESS TODAY.
Good Luck
