What’s your Millionaire Mindset ? Achieving
Success
by Nikola
Grubisa
Myth No.
1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work If this
were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard
for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this
isn't true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the
middle-class. If you
witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day's work in your
youth, you probably learned that money wasn't a sufficient reward for all
that effort. People who work "just" for the money often have debts
because they comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things
they lack when working. Myth No.
2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn't work and you shouldn't ask for
money for doing something that is enjoyable. Check this
with millionaires. They all have so much money that they don't need to work
anymore. Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge, satisfaction,
fullness of life, activity, fun ... and all are connected to a love for their
work. If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do something
else that would make them much happier and that enables them to realize their
dreams. In fact, if
you don't enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it! However,
just because you enjoy your work doesn't mean you shouldn't get paid for it -
in fact, that is the ultimate goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so
it never feels like you are at work! Myth No.
3: You need to be in the right line of business to amass wealth Do you
think so? This must mean that all the people who are involved in the same
business are millionaires. Of course, this isn't true. In each business there
are winners and losers; winners abound, even in businesses that consist of
distasteful (to most) or "impossible" work like sweeping the
streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory, pumping gas, selling
newspapers, etc. On the other hand, there are just as many "losers"
in businesses like selling real estate, management or being a stockbroker. Myth No.
4: You need the right education to make a fortune Are the
most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all! In this case,
university professors would be the wealthiest people on earth. Ask them about
their salaries, if you get the opportunity. The truth is vastly different -
the wealthiest people are those who can convert their knowledge (or
education) into money, in the best possible way. They can be highly educated
people (like inventors, scientists, etc.) or almost ignorant. Being
formally uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job or the
inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a person to success - they
can easily be experts without having a formal education. Myth No.
5: It used to be easier Statistics
show an increase in the number of millionaires in the world every year.
Talking about the "good old times" only offers comfort and a
convenient excuse. If you look around, you'll see there are people who
behaved the same way in the "good old times" as they do now, yet
their success has been recent. With technology and progress come new ideas,
desires and needs and there are more business opportunities appearing daily
to serve them. Myth No.
6: I'm too old (young) If you
research the life stories of some of the most successful people, you'll see
that this isn't true at all. Some became wealthy early in their lives
(perhaps from the stock market), while others found their fortune in their
old age. Ray Kroc, was more than fifty years old when he bought and made the
first McDonald's. Myth No.
7: I don't have enough money to start. You have to spend money to make money. This is no
different from any other excuse or "myth." Like the others, it's
obvious this one isn't true either. Many have made their fortunes starting
from scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their garage and yet,
they developed business empires that are worth billions of dollars today. The
other elements of success are far more important than having seed money to
start a business. But yes,
often money helps and it certainly doesn't hurt. Like everything else
discussed in other myths: it probably helps, but it is not always necessary. Myth No.
8: I'll begin when I know everything Do you
believe that you will know everything someday? Or even that you'll know
enough to ever be "really prepared now?" The more you learn, the
more you see what you still need to learn. Success and obtaining wealth is a
dynamic process. Even if you "could" come out of the gate knowing
everything there is to know, some of those elements will change immediately
and many will change rapidly. If you don't decide now, nothing will happen.
Live and learn. Some
millionaires have even allowed themselves to go bankrupt and then (even
faster) recreated their wealth, sometimes even greater than before. Money
itself isn't the obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy. If you're
really good in your business, don't worry, because someone that will offer
you money (a bank or business partner) will appear who will appreciate your
talent knowing you are a very good investment opportunity. But you can't sit
around waiting for this - make it happen. Exercise
"taking action" as much as you can. Make your workplace better or
more efficient. After all, even if someone else signs your paycheck, you
really work for you. Even if you are an employee in a large corporation - it
isn't your corporation - but it is the only corporation through which you can
prove what you are capable of right now. All of us
have what it takes to become a millionaire! Born winners, yet few of us know
how to take advantage of and cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our
own mind! No one can
ever grant you greater potential than your heart already holds…you need only
discover its contents to find the one true path to your success in life. Born
with the seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always come from
the inside! You will discover a new, deep well of fortune – yourself! __________________________________________________ Nikola
