DANIEL ALLY
As a millionaire, I've learned that most people want to know the truth about wealth.
Many people believe that the only way they can become a millionaire is if they marry it, inherit it, or save it. While they have a point, the only people who become millionaires are the ones who earn it.
That's right, most millionaires aren't lucky people who randomly found their paths or have been born into it. Instead, they are ordinary people who selected a large goal and worked steadily toward it.
There's no easy way to become wealthy, but there are many options to earn your fortune. Whether you're starting a business, developing a high-end career, investing your money, or become a professional entertainer, you must develop a millionaire mentality.
When the mind is ready, the money will come.
No one can achieve wealth by harboring erroneous thoughts. Instead, you must constantly battle the enemy in your mind to find the wealth of your dreams. Moreover, the secret to your wealth is to manifest righteous thoughts and deeds as you accomplish your biggest goals.
1. Practice integrity.
Many people think they must sacrifice their integrity to become a millionaire. They assume that rich people cheat on their taxes or swindle people to become rich. Actually, it's the exact opposite. You can only become a millionaire if you practice integrity. Money only comes to those who can be trusted with it.
Integrity is the cornerstone to developing a millionaire mentality. Like a thoroughbred horse galloping past the finish line, only winners with integrity can sustain reasonable speeds for long stretches of time. If you've entered the race without integrity, you will fail to win the ultimate trophy of wealth. Practicing integrity is the backbone of truth wealth and prosperity.
Integrity is telling yourself the truth. Honesty is telling other people the truth.
2. Become social.
Since the new millennium, social entrepreneurs can make tremendous financial strides by expanding their influence. Oftentimes, fame can be a prerequisite of wealth. Nowadays, you can strategically build a following while attracting a large number of people to your services. Becoming influential can dramatically increase your wealth.
Instead of reaching out to people, you can have people reach out to you. Many influential people are constantly fed opportunities because of the value they’ve added to their fans. Furthermore, you must have the right team with the right strategy if you want to consistently see results in the financial column.
3. Pay the price.
A woman walked up to a grand pianist and said, "I'd give anything to do what you do!" His rejoinder was simple, but pungent: "Yes, except 20 years at 8 hours per day." The key to success is straightforward--pay the price. Those who pay now will be able to play later. Conversely, those who play now will to pay later. Either way, your life demands a payment.
Depending on your desires, you can set the wager of the price you'd like to pay. If you want massive success, you have to pay a massive price. If you want a modicum of success, you have to pay an infinitesimal price. Moreover, becoming a millionaire is a steep price that requires great risks. Those who pay the price by abiding in their daily habits will receive long-lasting success. Are you willing to pay the price?
Everything we do is a reflection of who we are.
4. Control your mind.
If you want to develop a millionaire mentality, you must have complete control of your mind. By feeding your mind with seeds of positivity, you keep the noxious weeds away from infiltrating your mind. While most people on the internet indulge in miscellaneous information like 'memes' and other short-term distractions, you should constantly be seeking new ways to properly entertain, inspire, and educate your mind.
The average person doesn't know why they do what they do. For instance, a formerly obese woman told me this truth, "I used to eat so much every time I had a bad thought. Little did I know that I was 'eating away my emotions.'" When you control your thoughts, you master your feelings, which can lead you to take the best actions. Where are your thoughts taking you?
Remember this sequence: Thoughts>>>Feelings>>>Actions.
To change your reality, you must change your mentality.
5. Acquire skills.
You need the skills to pay the bills. In our world, many people relish the term 'jack of all trades, master of none.' Jacking up a new trade isn't going to make you rich, but mastering one will. Money only comes to the practitioner of excellence, not the amateur who performs with average ability. If you want to be a millionaire, you must become an expert at what you do.
Challenge yourself by seeking to acquire the necessary skills to achieve your desired wealth. Generally speaking, the richest people on earth have the most skills and are known for their expertise. Here's a simple guideline: If you're putting in at least 8 hours per day to intensively craft your skill, your expertise should make you a millionaire within 5 years, assuming your industry has a high-profit margin.
The marketplace is always conditioning ambitious people to become better.
6. Master your language.
Our level of income is largely determined by our level of communication. However, it can be challenging to cultivate your language when most of the people around you are murdering it. Since we borrow our language from those who haven't fully appreciated it, we must be conscientious when taking deliberate steps to change it.
Poor speech cannot be hidden. Like bad breath, the person with uneducated speech is usually unaware of his or her problem. Those who are lazy with their language must suffer the repercussions of lost opportunities. Failure to wield your words correctly will keep wealth away from you. Everyone should keep at least a dozen English books in their homes. Personally, I read the dictionary at least ten minutes per day.
Words are the tools that release the heavens of our mind.
7. Follow the truth.
An ancient prophet once said, "The truth will set you free." Fortunately, our results tells us the truth about ourselves. It reveals what we've learned, what we've done, and how much we've served. What are your results saying about you? Whether you like it or not, those results will give you feedback on what you may need to change. The prevailing truth stands the ultimate test of time.
Your wealth is the sum total of your entire contribution to society. Your rewards derive from your level of service to the marketplace. If you don't like your rewards, find a way use the truth to create better results. If you do like your rewards, use the tonic of truth to reach a higher level of results. Ask this question: How will I deliver more value to more people in less time?
Your rewards are determined by your contribution to society.
8. Never compete.
"Competition is a sin.'' - John D. Rockefeller
Most people feel like they must compete to stay ahead. However, competing actually keeps you behind. Competition forces you to copy someone else’s style instead of creating your own. Over time, competition will wear you out because you’ll always try to be better than someone else, rather than being yourself After all, if you’re trying to be everyone else, who will be you?
One day, a prospect advised: "We're shopping around with other companies. We'll get back to you." Instead of worrying about if I would get the business or not, I called them back immediately, "Look, if you're shopping around, I don't want to work with you." Startled and perplexed, they asked, "You mean you're willing to let us go if we check with your competitor?" Within an hour, I closed my biggest deal of my life.
9. Respect money.
Most people don't get money simply because they don't respect it. You often hear people saying, "Money isn't everything" or "I don't need the money." Because they've downplayed the value of money, they won't have much of it. Financial rewards are attracted, not pursued. What are you doing to attract money to your bank?
Money deserves respect. To respect money more closely, you must be diligent in your financial affairs. This means that you've developed the following habits: saving money, paying your bills early and willingly, knowing the account balance(s), communicating with your spouse, budgeting, etc. When you respect money, you will be able to have more of it. If you can take care of $1,000, then $10,000 will come your way.
"Those who are faithful with little will be faithful with much.'' -Ancient Phrase
10. Aim higher.
Earning $1,000,000 per year is the same as earning $100,000 per year. The difference is in how high you've aimed and your degree of intensity toward your goals. If you set goals big enough to break records, win honorary doctorates, and reach the highest tax-bracket, you will most likely to achieve them. How high will you set your goals?
Most people don’t aim high enough because they are caught up in the daily grind of life. They’re too busy running into the trees, instead of retreating to the mountaintop to catch a glimpse of the entire forest. Take a moment to see the bigger picture. Set your goals so high that they scare you. If they don't scare you, they won't prepare you!
If you believe in yourself, everyone will believe in you.
To develop a millionaire mentality, you need to constantly dwell on improving yourself on a daily basis. When you find the appropriate solutions, resolve to take action toward your dreams. Always change your approach and seek new ways of becoming the best at what you do. Your biggest goals will stretch you to become more of who you are. See you at the mountaintop!
