The wealthy and successful think differently than the masses. It’s really quite cut and dry. They have already created millions; it’s part of their everyday life. There are no belief issues… the proof is in their bank accounts, investments, and assets. You see it in the clothes they wear, the cars they drive, and the vacations they take. There is a confidence about them and they are able to sleep at night, knowing that their affairs are in order (not to say wealth eliminates all problems, but it provides opportunity).
So, you may ask the question of how does one think and operate as the person who has already attained wealth, when they are still broke?
To reach the goal of thinking as a wealthy and successful entrepreneur, and finding your financial thermostat you MUST understand the following:
- You will never outperform your self-image.
- You cannot earn more than you believe you are worth.
- You will settle for exactly as much as YOU think you are worth.
- You are the only one that can determine what you are worth.
At this stage, many people ask, what does this mean? How do I know where my financial thermostat is set right now?
To attain the mindset of the wealthy, in a nutshell, you MUST do the following (and of course this can be expanded on, but then my post would be longer than it already is):
- STOP listening to your broke family and friends. Consider the next time these people try to dissuade you from becoming an entrepreneur. Chances are that they don’t have the results you want!
- Consider hanging out with others who mastermind the idea of wealth creation.
- Set your financial thermostat where it is uncomfortable, and keep it there until it is comfortable. At that point, move it to a new level of discomfort. For example, never let yourself accept $50K per year if you think you are worth $50K per month.
- Shorten your learning curb by doing things that contribute to your relentless pursuit of growth and development as a maketer, leader, mentor, guide and coach. These things could include books, CD’s, training, coaching and conferences.
- Do self empowering exercises like making a decision to quit your job in 30 days…all successful people take action, especially when it is uncomfortable. So see if you feel a bit apprehensive about writing that resignation letter. Write it and date it for 30 days from today. Then place a stamp on an envelope and address the envelope to your employer. Place the envelope in a place that can be seen many times per day.
It is the decision to take action that puts the wheels in motion. The true test will be if you actually believe in yourself. Here is the most important part of your decision to take action…EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN. Plan on it; tell yourself repeatedly that you are in the process of attaining this goal. You are one step closer to the net worth you deserve.
What if…the things that you think are "to good to be true", could actually happen. Crazy unrealistic things. Things that you dare not even say out loud, because you are afraid people might laugh. Pick a crazy obnoxious dream that could never happen, but yet it could happen. Write it down and then EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN. Still have your doubts? Ask Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Elvis Presley, or any Astronaut. Plan Big and EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN.
Lets look at Donald Trump as a great example of how different his mindset is. Late night talk show host, David Letterman interviewed Donald Trump in June 2006 on his show. Letterman asked "The Donald" what he would do if he lost everything and had to start over from scratch. Trump’s response was that he would find a great network marketing company and get to work. When he received some hisses and boos from the audience, he looked out at them with complete and total authority and responded, "That’s why I’m sitting down here and you are all sitting out there."
