Seeing Yourself In Billionaire Status
Currently in the United States there are about 3 million millionaires. That is equivalent to about 1% of the entire population. So, statistically speaking 1 out of every 100 Americans is a millionaire. Could you be one of the coveted 1%?
Look even more closely and you will see that there are 360 billionaires in the United States. Can you see yourself as a billionaire?
The amount of people who are joining the class of super rich is growing daily. Once you become a millionaire you are only three orders of magnitude (1,000) to becoming a billionaire. So the difference in a millionaire and a billionaire is 1,000 million dollar sums of money.
Can you put yourself in that equation somehow? The magic number of steps it takes to reach millionaire status is ten. By figuring out where you are on the ladder and which steps you have left to complete you too can become a millionaire. Lets review them one by one.
1. You Must have a Vision
The first step is seemingly simple but is where many people go wrong. You have to have a dream, and your dream has to be in full color. Having a dream for yourself and your family is having a vision of where you want to be in your future.
Make your dream seem real in your head, keep the vision of what you want at the forefront of your mind at all times, take the steps necessary to make your dream a reality.
Lots of people walk through life static, never thinking they could achieve more. But you can and you have to dream it to become it!
Motivation is not enough; you have to be motivated to dream yourself through the creation and implementation of your vision.
2. You Must Have a Strong Why
So you want to be a billionaire? Why? This is not a trick question. Because if you dont know why " if your why is not strong enough, you may never make it to the first six-figure level.
Make sure your why is bigger than you are (bigger than your mere wants). Once you get up past the six-figure level (monthly or yearly, either one) and move ever higher, believe it or not, things will begin to bore you. There must be a higher calling that compels you to keep moving ever upward. Locate your why!
Find Good, No GREAT Mentors
You do not have to be a pioneer. There are tons of people who have done this before you and they have a lot of lessons in their experience.
Many of the really successful ones have shared their challenges or tips in easily accessed forms of media. There is no need to try and blaze a new trail, just follow the one that works.
4. Locate an Income Vehicle That Can Produce 100K per Month
Lets face it; you arent going to get rich selling $15 and $20 items. You need to find a means to making money that produces a big price tag and is a coveted tool that people will want.
There is an avenue that exists that will help make your dreams come true. Think about growing and earning your business on the big time level.
5. Create Leverage with Network Marketing (people working for you without the headache of employees)
It was oilman J. Paul Getty who stated: I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
It is easier and makes more sense to earn 1% of 100 people than 100% off of your own efforts. Oilman J. Paul Getty coined that phrase and look where it got him.
This is valuable insight that will allow you to utilize the talents and efforts of others for your own betterment. Many network marketing opportunities exist which offer the individual entrepreneur an incredible venue for finding the efforts of others for your own use. You must include this in your plan.
6. Use Your Head When Investing & Stay Out of Debt
Middle class people work for money. The wealthy make their money work for them. Middle class people pay interest (in debt up to their eyeballs). The wealthy have interest paying them.
Think about it, the wealthy know how to get paid interest on their money. Find a reasonable, steady investment that offers consistent rates of return and low risk. Learn from the wealthy how to put your money to work for you and mimic their behaviors to be successful.
7. Healthy Person Wealthy Person
Lets take another quote from J. Paul Getty The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him- and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.
Wow, that being saidyou can live your business life one way and be the opposite in your personal wealth and health. You are today the combination of all the choices you have made in your life.
Your body is the vehicle that will maintain you through it all. You must treat yourself well physically and mentally in order to succeed in life. Good health leads to a good mind and that is the number one tool to being a good business man.
8. Strive for Excellence
To strive for excellence does not mean you must be perfect. But it does mean you must do everything in your power to be the best you that you can be. This is closely related to #7, in that you cannot abuse your mind and body and still achieve greatness. Nor can your make half-hearted efforts in your endeavors.
You must always strive to be the best you can be in all venues of life. Half hearted efforts in any category will sabotage your plans. As you strive for excellence, pursue your dreams with excellence as well. Pretend you are an Olympic athlete and this is your sport.you are going for the Gold!
9. Dream; Envision; Meditate
This step is similar to Step#1. While the utmost importance of course is always to have a dream (noun) you must never forget to dream (verb) as well. Using imagery tools to keep the dream in close proximity is an effective means of helping to make it happen.
Some useful tools are image boards, goal maps, dream boards but any vehicle you choose to solidify your dream will allow it to manifest in your life. You can write it in a journal, on index cards. The basis is to always see the dream coming true and look toward how you want your future to be. Focus on your intention and it will be.
10. Never Never Never Quit!
You may experience times when things arent going as well as you hoped. You may hit a bump in the road or be frustrated but as long as you dont quit, you havent failed. Failure is only when you throw in the towel and stop trying. Things will happen that force you to make decisions, change directions or adjust your outlook and goals and these are only to be expected.
Keep your thoughts positive and always keep on trying. As long as you do that, you are never a failure. Failure is not about making mistakes, failure is about quitting!
Remember that whatever you can believe and conceive you can achieve!
