If you want
success and financial freedom and to lead a life of wealth and abundance, your
accountant won’t be able to help you, nor will a financial planner: they are
still trading 'time for money.' Dreaming and buying lottery tickets won't help
you either: that's just a fantasy and wishful thinking.
Are you in a
job you hate with a very low income?
Are you in
debt thousands of dollars and below zero?
Do you spend
long hours surfing the net looking for answers?
Have you
recently been laid off with a dwindling savings account?
Are you
retired and your pension is not enough to live on or enjoy life?
Then you have
something in common with some of this planet's most famous and inspirational
self-made millionaires. Most of them
have been there before you. So who can help you? They can!
Would you
build a house without a plan, drive somewhere new without directions, go on
vacation without knowing where you are going or making plans? NO! That makes no
sense! But most people lead their lives this way! - with no clear idea of
exactly what they want to achieve, no idea of how much money they wish to make
and no blueprint for life. How can something that is so absolutely necessary
for success be ignored?
Remember the
old adage: “Keep doing what you've always done, and you'll keep getting what
you've always got!” This is so obviously true but most people don’t seem to do
anything about it. If you don't like
what you've “always got” then something must change before you can step
out and reach new heights of success.
What does
wealth and success mean to you? Choices - and freedom! Imagine the satisfaction
of never having to look at a price tag again: what would your shopping spree
include? Don't worry if some things seem out of reach right now. Just relax and imagine the comforting feeling
of having wealth and success! Set some specific goals: what do you have a
burning desire for: more money; more time; better health; more fun; or all of
these and more?
One problem is that many people are fearful of stepping outside their comfort zone: what if it doesn't work? If you feel yourself thinking this way, just remember that you’ve done it all before and succeeded:
When you were
a baby, did you give up trying to walk after a few falls? When you learnt to
ride a bike and crashed, did you throw away your bike or get back on and try
again? Did you focus on drowning when you learnt to swim? Did you focus on
rejection on your first date or on enjoying the experience and working out how
to get a second? When you decided to have a baby, did you focus on the pain of
child birth or the joy of holding your beautiful baby?
We must watch our focus. We have to shatter the pattern and break out of the bondage of trivia - stop wasting your time and efforts on things that don’t further your path to success. The pattern: too much TV- how many hours do you watch it a week? What other activities do you do that could be a waste of time and keep you from your journey to success: how do you spend your time on a plane or train trip? Use these times well by spending them with some entrepreneurs and millionaires who can teach you the way to abundance!
Always carry a good, thought-provoking book by one of them with you
and a pen or highlighter to mark things you want to work on. Have a good selection of educational DVDs or
MP4s at home and CDs or audio files for the car. Start every morning with
motivation and energy: a workshop and action steps to take. Now is the
time to take the steps to learn from millionaires if we want success and wealth.
As Anthony
Robbins said, "In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take
control of our consistent actions. It's
not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do
consistently."
Christine Couch, the author of this adapted article, knows only too well that it is the dream and goal of so many people to become successful and wealthy. When you study and look at the characteristics of millionaires the same attributes show up repeatedly. We need to model ourselves on them if we want their results.
