have never met a millionaire that did not have these three things: leadership skills, sales based business, and a winner's mindset. These are fabulous skills that can be taught, learned, and practiced. No one becomes a millionaire by accident. On the contrary, millionaires are developed over time simply due to the fact that they are making very different daily decisions that most people. These are decisions about their character, thoughts, and being in the right businesses. Fortunately, we all have the capacity and skills to become a millionaire! Unfortunately, most people will just coast through life trying not to think too hard, work too hard, or be uncomfortable.
I do NOT believe that anyone from as early as King David to as recent as George Bush could have achieved their level of success (whether or not you agree or disagree with their philosophies) if they had not had these three elements in their lives. In fact, I hesitate to even say elements because, in reality, elements are natural; and yet, these three keys are not natural, not the norm, and certainly not the popular thing in our culture.
Bottom line, if you deeply desire to be a millionaire, which you deserve and CAN handle, then you need to commit daily to developing your leadership skills, having a winner's mindset, and being in the right sales industry (residual income). Your character is what is developed through repetition and practice. It's what you do when no one is watching. Me, I'm reading self help books, thinking and dreaming like a millionaire, and writing articles for this website. Ha!
Some of my favorite quotes are listed below to help you start out on your own personal journey to greatness. It requires reprogramming your brain, recreating your own self-image, and redefining what you say your future will be. Your reality right NOW is a product of your thoughts and choices in the past. What you think about, concentrate on, and put into action today is what your future of tomorrow will hold. Does your future look like an exciting path for you that you cannot wait to walk forward towards? Or is it filled with self-doubt, dread, and fear? It is your choice to start changing your future right NOW, not just in the big things, but even more in the tiniest of all things: your fleeting thoughts.
People can tell you what they think, but you must chose for yourself what your thoughts and reality will be. If you want to be a millionaire, let me tell you, your thoughts will seem crazy to others. They will not understand you. They will tell you to get your head out of the clouds. But you just smile and keep on dreaming your dreams, thinking your thoughts, and working daily towards your goals. One day soon, you can invite them all over to your villa overlooking the ocean. Believe me, then they will want to know exactly what you think.
"Greatness is not where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it--but sail we must, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
"Leadership is an action...not a position!"
"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make touch decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. She does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of her actions and the integrity of her intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles...they don't flock, you find them one at a time."
"Leadership is INFLUENCE...nothing more nothing less. ~John C. Maxwell~
"God does not ask for your ability or inability, He asks only for your availability." ~Mary Kay Ash~
"The credit belongs to those people who are actually in the arena...who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions to a worth cause; who at best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, fail while daring greatly...so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
"Believe in yourself. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face...You must do that which you think you cannot do." ~Eleanor Roosevelt~
"When you have done all you can and you can't do anymore...your only option is to become more!" ~Karen B. Ford~
"Some people dream of success...while others wake up and work hard on it. The race goes not always to the swift...but to those who keep on running."
