DEVELOP A WEALTHY MINDSET
http://sourcesofinsight.com/the-8-steps-to-wealth/
Having a wealthy mindset is the first and most important step, because it is the foundation. What you believe about wealth is your reality. If you don’t believe you can become rich, you can’t. If you believe you can, you can. It’s that simple, but it’s not easy.
There are many pieces to having a wealthy mindset. You must make a decision you will become wealthy, have persistence, change your mental blocks, live outside your comfort zone, visualize the end in mind, and have an attitude of gratitude.
Making a decision is the starting point that propels you into action, but you must be decisive and committed. A recent example is Donald Trump. When he was asked what would happen if he lost his all money, he responded, “I’m always going to be rich and that’s that. Next question.” As you can see, he has zero doubt. He is decisive and committed to being rich.
Many people start on the road to wanting to become rich, and then they give up.
THAT is exactly what separates the rich from the non-rich. Persistence. Losing faith that you can do it is a common problem with those who are not rich. They never really believed they could do it, so they sabotage themselves and sell their stock low, quit their dream, stop writing the book, declare bankruptcy, etc.
One example of visualizing the end goal in mind is the actor Jim Carrey. Before he was famous, he took a check from his checkbook, made it out to himself for $10 million, and put a date on it a few years into the future. He carried it in his wallet and looked at it every day. A few years later, he reportedly was offered $10 million for a movie role at almost the exact date he had written on his check!
I’m not saying all you have to do is think about it. If you’re starting a journey, you must take the first step to get going. You can always revise your path later if you get off course. Don’t expect success to happen in a straight line, or perfectly, or that it will be easy. You will be tested to see if you are willing to do what it takes to get rich and in so doing, you have to face fears, get out of your comfort zone (which creates major mental blocks), and improve yourself and your skills. Just get started!
