Developing Prosperity Consciousness
The starting point of all riches is the
development of a prosperity consciousness. You must become
a financial success in your thinking long before you achieve it in your
reality.
Both poverty and riches are the result of a state of mind, and the
most important single step you ever take on the road to wealth and financial
independence is the decision to change your thinking, to impress into your
mind an unshakable belief that you can and will achieve your financial
goals. This must happen before anything else happens.2
Do What You Love To Do
If you're not doing exactly what you love to
do, get out now and find something that captivates you.
"I was lucky I found what
I loved to do early in life," says Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple
Computers. "Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We
worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a
garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just
released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I had
just turned 30... Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.
Don't
lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I
loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for
your work as it is for your lovers.
Your work is going to fill a large part
of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you
believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you
do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all
matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep
looking until you find it. Don't settle."
Steve Jobs' 12 Rules of Success
-
Do
your best. Do your best at every job. No
sleep! Success generates more success.
So be hungry for it. Hire good people with passion for
excellence...

Decision as the Key to Transformation
Decision
is the key to transformation. In his classic work, "Think & Grow Rich",
Napoleon Hill stated that 98% of people are in the jobs they have through
indecision, i.e. because they never made the decision about what
they wanted to do in their
lives in the first place. Indecision explains why many people feel that
they have a life purpose, but have no idea what it is...

Earn Ten Times As Much
By
Brian Tracy
There's an exercise for you; imagine that it's
possible for you to earn ten times your current annual wage. If you're
earning $25,000, imagine for a moment that it's possible for you to earn
$250,000, a 1000% increase.
Don't
Sell Yourself Short
The first reaction of most people to that
exercise is to smile briefly and then to begin thinking about why it isn't
possible. One man said to me, "If you knew how many years it's taken for me
to get to what I'm earning today you wouldn't be suggesting that I could
earn ten times as much."
Never A
Good Excuse
Mark Twain once wrote that there are a thousand
excuses for every failure but never a good reason. The tragedy of the
average American is that whereas his or her main preoccupation seems to be
money, or the lack thereof, the average person has the inherent potential to
earn far more than he or she is doing currently.
Is the manager earning $250,000 per year ten
times as smart as the manager earning $25,000? 10 times as experienced? Does
he or she work 10 times harder? Of course not. None of these are physically
or mentally possible, but there are people in every business earning many
times more than others with the same average age, experience and
intelligence.
The Results Are In
In fact, a few years ago in New York, a
thousand men and women were selected at random and tested for I.Q. Between
the one having the highest I.Q. in this sample and the one with the lowest,
there was a difference of only 2 1/2 times. But between the person earning
the most, who by the way, was not the one with the highest I.Q. and the one
earning the least, who was not the one with the lowest I.Q., there was a
difference of 100X in income.
Action
Exercises
Here are two things you can do to start
increasing your income.
-
Identify the highest earning, most
successful people in your field and find out what it is that they are
doing differently from others who arent doing as well. Copy them every
day.
-
Set a goal to double your income over the
next two or three years and then figure out what youll have to do to
achieve it. Get started!
Creativity
The benefits of functioning more creatively are
enormous. It helps you get promoted faster, and enjoy greater status,
prestige and recognition. You can only earn more by producing more or of
better quality or cheaper or faster or differently and this requires
doing things differently,
using creativity...

Brainstorm with Other
Successful people have formal and informal
brainstorming or masterminding
networks. Napoleon Hill, in "Think And Grow Rich," pointed out that this was
a common trait among the millionaires that he studied. Put several people
together who have a common interest or goal. These gatherings have proven
very powerful. It's a natural breeding ground for breakthrough ideas.
The Power of Small Victories
By
Mike Litman
What I'm sharing with you is what worked for
me. And now it's worked for thousands of other people that I've coached.
I believe in small steps, small victories,
progress, growth and momentum.
'Inch by inch everything is a cinch' is one of
life's greatest pearls of wisdom.
Here, read this great quote from William B.
Storey, a railroad tycoon from decades ago.
'Have confidence that if you have done a little
thing well, you can do a bigger thing well too; and remember that the little
thing must always precede the bigger.'
Powerful.
Remember, you don't have to get it right, you
just have to get it going.
Here's what has allowed me to help a lot of
people and build a multi million dollar company at 32 years old.
