Who Wants To Get Rick Quick And Be A Millionaire?

Only about 80% of the people I talk to say they want to be rich.

Kind of unbelievable isn't it? I mean that 20% of the population honestly answers the question "Who Wants To Get Rich Quick And Be A Millionaire" by saying no, not me, all I want is enough to be happy and live comfortably.

When asked why they feel that way the most common response is that they don't really believe they could have that much money in the first place so why get their hopes up.

Many will answer that question by saying something to the effect that having that much money would leave them feeling greedy ins pite of the fact that they could always give money to a charity, if it would make them feel better, which it won't because deep down inside they truly believe money is the root of all evil. (For a better understanding of money read my blog post "Defining Money.")

So I have a question for you...

Do you sincerely want to be rich?

By rich I mean in excess of a million dollars.

I you answered yes to the above question then the first thing you should consider is having a success coach. I mean really, if getting rich quick was something you really believed you could do on your own then wouldn't you have already done it?

In the book "Think and Grow Rich" Napoleon Hill talks about having mentors and a board of directors to help you with your plans and goals. In fact it is one of the most important ingredients and he dedicated an entire chapter to it in Chapter 10 "The Power of the Master Mind: The Driving Force."

Napoleon defines the Master Mind as "Coordination of knowledge and effort, in the spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose."

So back to my question...

Do you seriously want to be rich, in excess of a million dollars?

Then at least for the time being, let me be your success coach. I have some important information to share with you and if you're serious about being rich I know this information will save you a lot of time figuring things out entirely on your own. I would like to thank you in advance for trusting me to be your success coach.

So back to the subject of getting rich.

Did you know that these days you are not rich if you have one million dollars?

Although not pocket change, a million in the bank would merely allow you to live in moderate comfort for the rest of your life. You would have to be careful with your money. You could not be extravagant.

One million in disposable capital would give you around $50,000 a year in salary after taxes which is a lot less than a good company CEO or director gets.

If you took this salary the million dollars would slowly be eaten away by inflation until it was worth just $350,000 (today's buying power) in about fifteen years. Hardly a king's ransom, I think we can agree on that.

One million dollars buys you a crappy "matchbox" one bedroom condominium in New York City. That's all.

After you bought the condo, all the money has gone and there would not be a penny left to furnish it, pay the bills or for other living expenses. No, the truth is that these days a million dollars isn't what it used to be and the days are gone when becoming a millionaire was a crazy out of reach dream. These days it's just a good start at best.

Being a millionaire is not what it used to be. A millionaire in 1990 would be equivalent to at least ten million dollars in today's money...

ah, so now we're talking sensible money aren't we?

Ten million dollars is worth the same as one million used to be worth just a short time ago and back in the 1950s when a "millionaire" really was someone with a lot of money we can begin to get the big picture.

The point here is perspective.

Here's another point, when you've had ten or a hundred million, this level of wealth seems normal to you. To be down to your last million would feel like being flat broke - a horrific state to be in.

It is exactly this sense of perspective which aids the rich person and hampers the poor.

If you have made a few million, how do you think you view your chances of making it again if you were to lose it? A bit of a nuisance, right? An irritation but certainly not a ludicrous fantasy or crazy impossible dream. Poor people look at making a million dollars very differently because they have never done it. This is exactly why you Napoleon Hill said that you need a millionaire mentor.

So do you think people with a can do mentality and attitude manages to make another million dollars whether they have lost their first million or not?

Yes, they do.

No problemo.

In fact they often do it several times over and their success leaves clues that people who desire the same results can use to improve their own results.

So I trust you'll agree with me when I say they have the right perspective about making money.

If the answer is yes, then do yourself a favor and find out more about what I am doing that makes a big difference in my perspective about making money. What I have learned since I started on this path of being a millionaire is worth far more money to me today than the dollar value of what I invested to get my home based business started.

The choice is yours, are you busy creating your dream or making excuses for having what you currently have?

My purpose in life is to help other people get out of the rat race and get rich in life.

What Was The Secret That Really Made a Difference?

A Simple book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill?

No...well yes...but...a more precise statement would be 'new information' is the secret.

Information is valuable because it changes people's lives.

In my last blog post we talked about writing your truest desires on a card and being specific. We talked about carrying this card with you and stop wishing for it by starting to believe you can have it.

In his book, Hill said "There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it."

You become ready by believing you can do it. Every great book on philosophy and religion tells us that belief IS the essential ingredient we must have first.

William James said "Believe and your belief will create the fact."

So how do you alter your belief system? Is there some kind of god out there that will reward you for trying? That isn't how it works, there are certain rules you have to follow and if you aren't ready you won't receive it until you are. Being ready is the belief we're talking about and so the question arises...how do we get ready?

Rule #1: Beliefs are based on our evaluation of something and our repeated thoughts about it so the belief that you can change the results you are getting in life must be based on your evaluation of yourself. If the results you're after are still elusive then it only stands to reason that your evaluation of yourself must change first.

For example, we don't know or truly appreciate what an incredible miracle the human body and mind actually are.

Did you know that all of the blood in your body circulates through hundreds of miles of passages every thirty-three seconds? How about giving consideration to the thousands of electrical messages that must take place in order for you to sign your own name? Your brain is an electronic switching station that has more power than the super computers that guide space missions to the moon. The point I'm making here is the fact that we aren't taught about who and what we are. There is genius locked up inside of each and every one of us and all we have to do is bring it to the surface.

As we study the material and information in 'personal development' we discover principles like those taught in Napoleon Hill's book and this information causes us to re-evaluate ourselves and become more familiar and aware with whom and what we really are. As this journey of introspection continues we start to change our beliefs of what we can do and gradually at first we discover, then we actually start to believe we can do what we've set out to do.

Rule #2: You have to take actions that on the surface would appear to be radical. They may even go against the grain o conventional wisdom. Did you know that 1% of the world's population earns 96% of the world's money? Why is that?

If you studied 100 people who set out to make real change in their life you'd discover; one will make it, three more will do 'ok' and the rest are out of the game entirely...so why is that?

They ignored rules #1 & #2

You've got to understand that as you start down the road of personal development you'll begin to discover that most of the information we were taught about ourselves, how things work, how we work and how to accumulate wealth is incorrect. This discovery will challenge your thinking and many people will simply refuse to accept it and quit...but...it's still the truth.

Here are two examples: first we're told you have to have a formal education to get ahead in life and second we're told you need to have some kind of business experience to be successful as an entrepreneur. Neither of these is correct or I wouldn't be writing this article today.

Although I attended college I didn't have time for book learning, life got in the way and I found myself spending time on things that kept a roof over my head. My only formal business experience came when I jumped out of the pan and into the fire when I opened my own Real Estate Business at the age of 24...without any formal training what so ever.

It wasn't until I started studying myself and changing my belief in my own abilities that things in my life began to really make a change. I discovered exactly what Hill wrote in his book when he said "it takes no more effort to aim high in life to demand abundance and prosperity than is required to accept misery and poverty."

Rule #3: If you're going to win in life you've got to e ready to take a lot of flack. The people around you will see you moving away from them and where you're at and they will criticize and laugh at you. They will try their hardest to keep you exactly where you're at. They do this subconsciously because they notice you making changes and they feel somehow left out or less adequate. Deep inside they know they should looki at themselves too and they get really uncomfortable with that idea. Some people even get irrational, almost violent (verbally) about it.

As you start to read and study the principles and materials of personal development you'll begin to change in almost every way and you'll separate yourself from the masses.

Rule #4: Take massive inspired actions immediately upon your desires.

In my last blog I mentioned getting emotionally involved with your statement of desire. Hill said "hand over the thought...to your imagination" in other words, you've got to see it, feel it and believe it and actually become the actor in your own movie of your own desire in your mind. "See what your imagination can and will do to create practical plans for the accumulation of the money through the transmutation of your desire."

What he's saying is that when you get this idea and become emotionally involved and can see in your mind's eye the fulfillment of your desire it's going to do something inside of you and change will begin to take place.

"Do not wait for a definite plan through which you intend to exchange services or merchandise in return for the money which you are visualizing...begin at once to see yourself in possession of the money demanding and expecting...meanwhile your subconscious mind will hand over the plan or plans you need." for the accumulation of this money.

You see, with your imagination working as we've described above, it alters the vibration you're in and your physical body literally changes how it resonates within the universe. Vibration is the natural law of the universe and it's this vibration that is the law of attraction at work and Hill is telling us about it. The laws of the universe are so precise we don't have any difficulties using them to build space ships that can land on the moon with the kind of precision of a fraction of a meter and second. Don't you think they can work for you too?

You must get emotionally involved and get your imagination working for you understanding your imagination is attracting the universal energy and it is setting up a powerful force of nature that will work for you.

Hill said "Be on the alert for plans and when they appear, put them into action immediately. When the plans appear they will probably flash on the screen of your mind through your sixth sense in the form of an inspiration. This inspiration may be considered a direct telegram or message from the infinite intelligence, treat it with respect and act on it as soon as you receive it...failure to do this may be fatal to your success."

As you do these things with integrity (what you do when no one else is looking) and take the inspired actions, your friends, neighbors, co-workers and others will begin to question your behavior and actions. Take no never mind of them because they have no idea what you're up to and why you're doing what you're doing. In fact they will most likely and quite inadvertently sabotage your efforts, especially if you take them into your confidence. You may even begin to question your own sanity but stay the course or the changes you seek will avoid you.

Be prepared to do anything honest to earn money and take action on your desires. Usually these things will at first seem impossible and most unreasonable but don't let their appearances fool you or stop your efforts because only these inspired actions will bring you the changes you seek.

Remember that if you could do this on your own, you would have already done so. You MUST follow these rules and this process. Divine order which is inspiration of the universe has no logical progression until AFTER we are standing there and looking back.

Rule #5: Get one or more mentors to guide you. Learning is a lifelong process and the best way to acquire this new information is to find a program or programs that include mentors who have been there and can teach you what they have done. Look for people who actually use these principles and don't just give them lip service. Make the decision and don't let anything de-rail your determined efforts.

You must stay tuned into this kind of information and realize that not many people will study 'personal development' the way you are and you've got to separate yourself from the masses. You can either follow the plan that wins or you can follow the plans of the masses (you were already on).

If you already knew how to achieve your own goals you would have already done so. The fact is you need to acquire more information and learn something new if you are actually going to achieve you own goals. This is an investment in yourself. You must have the desire to see it through and be the best you can be and follow these instructions, they work every single time.
