Many of us daydream about how to become a millionaire and wonder what it would be like to become wealthy but it is not possible to realise our dream and become wealthy by just thinking about it. If we really want to change our financial situation there are a few steps we need to take to realise our dream and to attract wealth.
We need to remember that most wealthy people did not build up wealth by buying a lottery ticket or by being left a fortune by relatives. They created it by having the right mindset and by finding the right business opportunity.
We too can create wealth for ourselves if we accept that we have to make some changes in our lives in order to succeed. This can be achieved in the following ways:
Educate yourself to succeed
Education is critical in all markets of life but from a young age we are only taught how to go to school, get a job and obtain a degree. What we are not taught is how to start up your own business to create our own wealth. There are no wealth building classes.
It is important to remember that only a small part of the population are wealthy and of those most do not work for someone else. They have created their own wealth often by starting up their own business. Most wealthy people are entrepreneurs like Donald Trump.
There are several ways that you can educate yourself to create financial wealth. There are wealth seminars that teach you ways to become wealthy and how to invest that wealth to reap the best rewards. There are also wealth building business systems available which provide invaluable training on how to create wealth. Many will also provide a mentor who will offer one to one coaching to help you succeed in business. Whichever approach you take it is crucial to invest time into educating yourself as that time invested will improve your chances of success and help you to achieve your goals.
Adopt a million dollar mindset
In order to strive to become a millionaire it is crucial to change your mind set to that of a millionaire. The first step required to achieve this is to align yourself with successful people who will pass on invaluable advice on to you on how to succeed. This is crucial to enable you to start creating wealth. Most wealthy people haven’t become successful without finding a mentor to teach them how. The formula to change your lifestyle goes beyond wishing and wanting to become wealthy. There is a need to change your thought process and mindset to achieve your goals.
To further acquire the millionaire mindset it is important to follow the examples that they set. One important factor of a millionaire is that an average millionaire does not look like a millionaire. True millionaires live below their means. They do not display high social status. Many live in average neighbourhoods and drive average cars. Indeed the millionaire’s motto is that “you aren’t what you drive.”
Most people work hard, make money and spend well whereas millionaires spend their money on investing in themselves via business training, software, tax and legal advice. As in a football game millionaires enjoy the excitement of the offense which is the making of their money but realise that it’s great defence, which in their case is saving and investing, that leads to success. Their philosophy is to sacrifice high consumption today for financial freedom tomorrow.
They also become wealthy in their own right. They do not rely on financial help from their family. Indeed 80% of millionaires are first generation millionaires who have made money in their own right. Many were immigrants who worked hard to learn and to generate wealth proving that anyone can succeed to change their lives. Most millionaires also don’t believe in passing their wealth automatically to their children believing that those who are given less are motivated to accumulate more on their own merits. They have the mindset that if you provide fish for your children they will eat for a day whereas if you teach them to fish they will eat for a lifetime.
Find your niche- choose the right opportunity
In order to become successful it is important to choose the best opportunity available to you. The wealthy become successful by finding a niche for themselves. The majority of wealthy people are self employed entrepreneurs. It is a fact that entrepreneurs are four times more likely to become millionaires than those who work for others.
It has become much easier to become an entrepreneur and to start a successful business
than it was years ago. Modern times have provided more platforms and avenues to create wealth. We now have a worldwide web which offers many opportunities to start up a genuine business using the internet. It is possible to take advantage of these global opportunities by researching internet businesses. These home based businesses offer the convenience of creating wealth from home.
Knowing how to succeed in business on line or off line is a matter of becoming a master marketer and learning how to prosper. Successful business owners know how to effectively market their product and service and many will offer to mentor others on their success.
It is important to remember that the wealthy have not become wealthy without stepping out of the ordinary. They have dared to step out of their safety zone to try something new. Change is essential to anyone wanting to succeed and a combination of skills and mental attitude along with the desire to succeed is what will create wealth for you.
