Wealthy people think differently about money. For the wealthy, money is a long-term asset. For the less-than-wealthy, money is a persistent short-term problem.
Do you think of money as a short-term problem? Most people do: "If I could only make more money, I'd be okay!" "If I could get a raise, all my problems would be solved!" "If I could win the lottery, I would be set for life!" If you think about it, though, you know none fo this is true.
To build wealth you must think differently about money, you must treat money differently. I'll help you understand this. In most cases, when working people start their own business, get a raise or find a better-paying job - or even win the lottery - it’s not long before they are in the same trouble they were in before, only now the debt is larger, the mortgage bigger and the problem harder to deal with. This is why so many people ride a seesaw over money.
Do you know someone like that? (Yes, Frederick! That's me. Please help!)
Let us understand from the start — You don't need a 10-day program or a 30-day program. You need a Rest-of-Your-Life program!
You don't go to a gym, exercise for a week and think you will then be fit for the rest of your life. To be fit for the rest of your life you have to exercise for the rest of your life. You don’t shower in the morning and expect to be clean for the rest of your life - you have to shower every day for the rest of your life. Money is no different. And I think you know that instinctively.
In my book, "So, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? " I tell my story and explain how I found out that there are no secrets to this question of building wealth. I have learned that we already know how to become wealthy. We know how to be successful! But most people don't become wealthy even though they know what to do!
To succeed in life and in business, you must apply the principles you already know. According to Napoleon Hill ("Think and Grow Rich" ), three important principles can be described as follows—
1. Define what it is you want. Write it down, be specific and decide how you intend to achieve it.
2. Prepare a plan to achieve your goal and be persistent in following that plan.
3. Know why you want to achieve that goal. This isn't always easy to determine, but you must have a big enough desire to carry you beyond the setbacks you will undoubtedly meet along the way.
Decide WHAT. Decide HOW. Decide WHY. Then get on and do it. Make a plan then surrender to the plan! If you will let me mentor you with that as a basis, you could accomplish anything you decide to accomplish.
