Think Differently?



Even though you have a strong desire or the drive to be wealthy, your mental game will influence your action.


Do you fear of ‘losing’, especially when it comes to money? Most may take risks but when it comes to money, they take absolutely take no chances with it.


This is the employee mentality where job security and a steady pay check each month is the norm.


Please be aware that I’m not criticizing- but making a general point.
What you need to do is to create your own winning environment. Take a look closer - if you’re afraid to lose, it’s probably not your fault because you’ve been taught that way from others and the environment unconsciously.


Money doesn’t grow on trees? Assume that they do. A tree needs water, sunlight and fertilizer to grow. If you want to grow your money, you also have to give it a suitable environment.
The first thing you need to do is to avoid conversation with the people in your life who are negative financially. Hang around with people who are driven to make more money for themselves and not those who are just able to balance their income and expenses each month based on their pay check.


You might also want to consider getting yourself educated about money. That is the key. Maybe you can learn about investing or take up part time business like multi level marketing, home business or internet marketing. If investment is not a topic for you, look around your own environment to see if there are other ways you can make additional income. Maybe investing in real estates can be your cup of tea. I don’t know, it’s your life.


If you do find yourself in the right environment, are you willing to ‘work’ to be rich?
An environment is just part of the leverages you can get to achieve more. Keep in mind, if you want to be rich, you still have to do your homework.


If that’s unpleasant to be heard, then you’re just going to keep on dreaming. Sound harsh isn’t it? Well, I rather be honest and become the ‘bad guy’ then ‘helping’ you to build a castle in the sky where you’ll end up with disappointment.


To validate my point, just go to your local bookstores and check out biography books of rich and famous people. You don’t think Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Donald Trump or any other multi-millionaires became rich ‘automatically’ right?


One tip is this- no matter how rich you become, you can always have that back but you can never rewind the time passed. So make your goal a journey, but not a destination. Then you’ll experience the journey and cherish your experience- the good and bad because at end of the day, they’re all good. The bad will make you wiser and move you closer to success while the good ones, they’re just good. (smile)


You’ll appreciate those who laugh with you and those who support you through the hard times. You see, to reach your goal, you’ll experience minor goals but most missed those because they’re only seeing the ‘big’ goal. But when it’s a journey, you’ll be able to stop and pick up the flower along the way to smell.
