7 Secrets of the Millionaire Mindset-Ask anyone, "do you want more money?" and the answer is usually "yes!" More money can mean many things: freedom, fun, adventure, escape from bills, no more worries, a brand new BMW. Whatever it is we want, money is often the means to get it.
Why is it we don't have everything we want? We are definitely smart enough - we have after all sent a man to the moon, should we not be able to make a few extra thousand dollars? We certainly work hard enough - statistics have Australians working 40-60 hours per week. Americans have barely two weeks annual leave per annum. There is no lack of work ethic here.
So what keeps us from achieving the wealth we truly desire?
Is it lack of knowledge? No - there are thousands of books and articles on how to build wealth and there are thousands who have done it before - it is achievable. The answers are out there, for anyone to access.
Is it lack of desire? Surely not since most people express a true craving for more cash and can see the real benefits of building wealth.
The distinction between those who make millions and those who do not is not about intelligence, drive, work ethic, knowledge, skill, opportunity, or even luck. The difference lies almost entirely with beliefs and attitude. These distinctions boil down to seven basic secrets of what I call the "Millionaire Mindset".
Secret #1: Beliefs about Money
Millionaires have specific beliefs about money and wealth. This is the most fundamental and most important aspect of becoming (and staying) a millionaire.
Millionaire beliefs include:
* I deserve to be rich.
* There is more than enough wealth to go around.
* When I grow rich, so do others.
* I grow rich by adding value to people's lives. I do this by providing services, knowledge, or products that enrich others.
* Creating wealth is enjoyable and fun.
* If I desire it, I can achieve it, attract it, possess it, enjoy it.
* I am the captain of my own ship.
* I am not alone - in building wealth, I have many partners who assist me in the design, implementation, and administration of my products and services. We all benefit from the growth of wealth.
* Nobody suffers as a result of me being rich.
* Wealth brings the opportunity to assist others.
* I am very grateful for everything I have in my life already.
* I am on this planet to enjoy my life.
