The Journey Begins ... ...

I want to become a millionaire!
I want to be rich!

Sounds familiar? Know of a friend who said those words to you before? If you have, I'm not surprised. I was once one of those who used to go around saying those words to the people around me. I wanted to become a multi-millionaire. Heck, I even wanted to become a billionaire!

That's the problem!

I only wanted to become a millionaire. If we desire to become massively successful, it cannot be only a want, it has to be a must!

'What's the difference between saying want and must?'

A huge difference!

My mentor taught me something which has made a profound difference in my life. With this concept alone, I went from earning an ordinary salaried income to grossing a five-figure income every month. Ready for this concept?

Your results are a result of the actions you take
Your actions are a result of the decisions you make
Your decisions are a result of the mindset you have

Mindset --> Desicion --> Action --> Result

Going by the above principle, what's the most important determinant in your Financial Success? Yup ... Mindset! Mindset is a single word, but to fully understand and exploit the power of your mind would take many days! I'll be delving deeeper into this most important topic of mindset in the next few days. In the meantime, a simple explanation for mindset would be the way you think and your mental programming. This in turn is affected by your values and beliefs system.

'So what's the difference between saying want and must?'

Simple ... Where are your words formed before they are verbalized? In your vocal cords? Close! Rewind further ... where are they conceptualized?

Bingo! In your mind!

So if your mind is only wanting to succeed, would you succeed eventually? Maybe.

But if you tell your mind that you must succeed. Would that increase your chances of success? Definitely!

What you say depends on what you think. And what you think determines your eventual success! So the next time you catch yourself thinking or saying 'I want to succeed'

STOP!

Don't sabotage your success by only wanting to succeed, you have to tell yourself that you must succeed! I know some of you may be laughing at this. Or some of you may be skeptical as to whether this really works. Trust me ... It does!

What have you got to lose by making this one small change? Nothing!

What have you to to gain by making this one small change? Plenty!

Make this small change in the way you think and speak and you will start to see noticeable results. But it doesn't happen overnight. You have to give your mind time to acknowledge and integrate this change into your belief system. You have to make it a habit to replace all the 'wants' in your thoughts and words into 'must'. And you need 21 days in order to effectively form a habit.

So from today onwards, make a decision to replace all the 'I want' to 'I must' and begin to welcome the wonderful results you will start to experience in your Journey to Success.

I MUST become a millionaire!
I MUST be successful!

Sounds simple right? It's often the simple things in life that make a huge difference in your life if you actually implement these simple changes in the way you do things.

'Financial success is the result of doing simple, specific things over and over again until you achieve the financial independence that you desire'

It doesn't matter which industry or field you desire to excel in. It doesn't matter how you want to make your fortunes. The fundamental principles of success are the same across all vehicles of success.

Whether you are looking to succeed in Business, Internet Marketing, Financial Planning or climbing to the top of the Corporate Ladder, once you master these principles of success and apply them, you will find yourself progressing up and forward in your life!

So end your day today by making 3 decisions:

1. Decide you MUST make a difference in your life
2. Decide that life CAN be better for you
3. Decide that you MUST give yourself an opportunity to know how learning all these Success Knowledge I'm sharing with you WILL make a difference in your life

It is my sincere wish that whatever I've shared with you today will begin to make a noticeable change in your Journey to Financial Success.

Something else that my mentor shared with me ...

Whenever you read or hear something beneficial to you, ask yourself these questions:

  • If I had known this concept earlier, how much more money could I have made applying this concept?
  • Now that I've learnt this concept, how much more money am I going to make utilizing this concept?
  • How am I going to do it? List down 3 specific action plans.

Remember that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself!

By asking myself the above simple but profoundly useful questions everyday, I started to attract tons of additional income! Ask yourself these questions everyday and let the power of questions go to work for you!

Ok, that's all for today. In my next post, I'll be sharing a formula for success.

'You mean there's actually a formula for success??'

Yes there is. And I'll share it with you in my next post. So stay tuned!
