Change Your Mentality, Shift The Paradigm, Become A Millionaire

      So, you've probably read a lot of books, been to some seminars and bought a million CDs on how to get rich quick only to find out you would have been better off investing that money you spent on CDs and seminars elsewhere because there's no such thing as "get rich quick". Thankfully,  this post will help set you on the path to making millions (hopefully). P. S,  it's free (Thank me later)

Millionaire mindset 

     First and probably the most salient is self belief. If you can't believe in your own dreams,  how do you intend to get others to believe in it?  Some people have to be rich in this life,  everybody can't be poor or average. So, the question here is,  if there are people that are destined to be millionaires,  what stops you from being in that bracket, in that millionaire league?  Nothing ( except you intend to be more than a mediocre millionaire). Everybody has their story, everybody has their challenge,  everybody has ups and downs.  The key here is to take these challenges and turn it into motivation.  Tell yourself that you're uncomfortable with where you presently are and that you want more.  

     Don't just think big,  think massive!  : Visualize your dreams,  have an end in mind, make it to that end and then push past that end.  You can only go as far as your eyes can see so make sure you have really large eyes. Have dreams so big,  so massive that they scare even you.  Set a goal,  have a plan,  five year plan,  ten year plan,  whatever.  Just have something to work towards, something to drive you.  Something you'll see on a daily basis . Shoot for the moon so even if you fall,  you'll land In the clouds,  at least,  that'll be a better starting point. 

      Determination and resilience : If you back down at the very first, or second,  or third, or fourth (OK,  you get my point) sign of defeat,  you are not made for greatness.  Failures give us experience,  experience gives us a spring board for a better beginning, a better beginning sets us on the path to greatness . Tell yourself  that you won't leave a certain place or stop a certain task or quit something until you have achieved that goal.  Learn to work non stop for long arduous hours.  Focus is paramount and distractions should be avoided.  

     Minimize the amount of small, semi irrelevant decision to me made on a daily basis.  Let's face it,  you're only human, you're only a mere mortal and there's such a thing as mental fatigue ( yes, it does exist.)  take time out to plan your day, week or month. The amount of small decisions you have to make in a day like what to eat, wear etc will be reduced.  Conserve that mental energy for the bigger decision with greater implications 

     Invest in yourself, then take the profit from that investment and reinvest in yourself.  The greatest investment you'll ever,  ever make is yourself. Read books, listen to relevant audio and seek out mentors (successful ones)   in whatever field you intend to go into.  However, don't just limit yourself to your field,  aquaint and familiarize yourself with other fields.  The world is rapidly changing,  you need to be well rounded. 

     Age is only a number : A great mind is not a gift of age,  I've seen old stupid people.  Embrace your youth and and maximize the experience that comes with age.  You're never too young to be rich, you're never too old to be great.  The moment you start to use age as an excuse,  you'll never get past the level you are and gravity will be waiting patiently to take you lower than that level.  It's inevitable. 

     Finally,  take time out to enjoy. There's only so much your body can take.  In order to avoid breakdowns ( mental and physical),  spoil yourself a bit some days.  You're only human after all.
