Wealth File 5 - Millionaires Mindset

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I’m back with another Wealth File! Here is a short introduction for those who’ve just joined my series.

I’m reading the book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Eker. He has found out 17 ways of thinking and of taking action, which are essential if we want to get really successful and wealthy. He calls these ways of thinking “Wealth Files”. Throughout my journey to a Millionaires Mindset I’m sharing these Wealth Files with you.

Wealth File #5:

“Rich people focus on opportunities.”

“Poor people focus on obstacles.”

More Millionaire Wisdom:

  • Rich people see potential growth, while poor people see potential loss.
  • Rich people believe that, if worse comes to worst, they can always make their money back. Poor people expect to fail; they lack confidence in themselves and in their abilities.
  • Rich people focus on the rewards, while poor people focus on the risks.

  • People who only see the obstacles, they are mostly unwilling to take risks, but if no risk, there is hardly a chance for a reward. We must not just take decisions by guessing – that’s indeed a big risk. Before taking decisions it’s important to inform ourselves, do researches and find out certain facts. But we can’t do researches for weeks and months, we have to act faster than that and take that calculated risk, if we want to get successful.

In the end it’s always about getting started. Successful people trust that once they get in the game, they can make intelligent decisions in the present moment, make corrections and adjustments along the way.

Stop preparing, it’s time to get started now!

Actions which leads you to become a Millionaire:

  1. Get started! Whatever you have been waiting for,forget it! Begin now from wherever you are with whatever you’ve got. Go for it!
  2. Practice optimism: Think positive – reframe problems into an opportunity.
  3. Focus on what you have – and not on what you don’t have.
    “Your field of focus determines what you find in life.”
    Make a list of 10 things you are most grateful for in your life and read the list aloud. Then read it each morning for the next thirty days. That will make you appreciate what you have got even more.

Speak out following Declaration loud and clear to yourself, to underline your intention:

“I focus on opportunities over obstacles.”

My own experiences:

WA is a wonderful opportunity – it’s such a great help for us who wants to start an online business from scratch. I’m extremely grateful to have found this platform which provides us with such valuable knowledge, tools and a helpful community. I’ve been procrastinating for too long now. It’s really time to getting started for real, to take the big step and reach out to my target audience out there in the internet space.

In general I’ve got a positive attitude, but I’ve been too hesitant. I think things over too long and prepare and prepare and prepare. After having read this Wealth File I’ve decided to stop preparing and finally move on to another height within my business intentions. “Begin with whatever I’ve got”, that’s it!

Remember:

YOU CREATE YOUR SUCCESS, ONLY YOU, SO BE AWARE of your THOUGHTS and TAKE ACTION.
