All millionaires know what they want to achieve and how they can achieve it - this is how they can tap into huge wealth.
This is what is called the millionaire-mind set.
But how do millionaires find out what they want and then how to get it?
They ask a series of questions…
The following seven vital questions will steer you towards achieving your very own millionaire mind-set.
How?
The answers provide you with goals and steer you into knowing how to achieve those goals.
Just read through them and I’ll explain what to do in a minute.
Question One: What is your vision for your personal and business success?
Extra help: You have to have a vision. Success and money need a reason why. Just to say ‘I want to make a lot of money’ is not good enough! Consider what your true vision for your life is. Why do you want to be in business and what do you see as a result of being in business? Money, yes. But what do you want it FOR? (I submit that buying a lot of silly and expensive toys is not a good enough reason…) This may surprise you, but you cannot say: “Oh, I’ll wait and get the money and then I’ll answer that question.” No, no, no. It doesn’t work that way. Please trust me on this one. Your ‘reason why’ is the thing that will get you out of bed in the morning!
Question Two: What are your short-term and long-term goals?
Extra help: We need goals as our road map. We need goals to show us where we’re heading. We have to know what we’re going to do today, this week, next week, next year and even five years from now. You have to get in touch with short-term and long-term goals. Big goals can only be reached by breaking them into smaller goals.
Question Three: How big do you want to get?
Extra help: How big would you like your business to be? It’s important to look at the pro’s and con’s of growth. It’s not all fun and games. It’s not all happiness to get big. There is a lot of work. So how high is high for you? This is a question you must answer. You cannot drift into business not knowing where you are headed.
Question Four: What does success really mean to you?
Extra help: Success means different things to different people. What is your definition of success? What does it really mean to you? Is it just money…. Or something more? What?
Question Five: What would you do, what would you get, who would you be if you had millions of pounds and money was no barrier?
Extra help: It isn’t enough to say you want to be a millionaire. You have to ask yourself ‘why?’ What would you spend it on or use it for? What would you do with your life? Would you spend every day basking on a sun-drenched beach or would you get bored with that? Is there something you want to do to help others which money would assist with?
Question Six: What do you love to do now that doesn’t take money to enjoy?
Extra help: Ask yourself what do you really get a kick out of doing that isn’t making money for you? What hobbies do you have?
Question Seven: Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve success?
Extra help: Do you realise that you pay a price for anything that you want in life? It doesn’t have to be a hard price – but sometimes it is. It doesn’t have to be agonizing but there is a price to pay. Will you do whatever it takes to achieve the success you want?
Before you answer the questions, there are two vital pieces of information you need that are at the heart of making money and that make clear the puzzle of how to become a millionaire.
The first is this:
Your life has to have some purpose!
And the second issue that is at the heart of making money…
To be successful you have to love what you do!
see you tomorrow
