Secrets Of Self Made Multimillionaires In The World
-
Decide on your own to be a self-made multimillionaire
The decision has to come from you as a person. It must be your own decision to be a self-made multimillionaire. Moving from nothing; no money just ideas and hard work to create wealth that probably cannot be destroyed in a lifetime is really not easy to come by in this life.
2. Get Rid of Poverty Mentality
Money abounds in this world; there is no shortage of it at any point in time. There are only shortages of people who have the right mindset about money. You must first become a self-made multimillionaire in your thinking before it can be able to materialize physically.
Perhaps you have heard the saying that money is located on thorns, those sayings that encouraged a sense of fear and scarcity, self-made multimillionaires never entertain such thoughts.
3. See it as your duty in life
Money is not the only thing that motivates self-made multimillionaires, the need for the market environment to accept their contributions is the greater motivation. While these self-made multimillionaires want wealth always, they are driven more by the need to contribute consistently their potential.
They don’t ever lower their standard and targets when things get rough. They raise the bar on themselves because they are already seeing what they can achieve with their money, company, community, and charities.
4. Have people of like minds in your circle of friends
You should always have people that are likeminded. It has been scientifically proven that we are always a reflection of the people we always surround ourselves with. I have been studying the lifestyle of self-made multimillionaires, what they read, how they invest, what drives them and how they stay motivated and excited.
Making out time to study them, makes you be in close contact with these self-made multimillionaires and eventually, you will start thinking like them.
5. Work like a multimillionaire
The rich have a different way of seeing time; they buy it while the poor people sell it. The very rich know that time is more valuable than money itself. They hire people to do things that they are not good at or not productive in doing.
People who are financially successful are consumed by their quest for success and they work really hard to the point that they feel and know that they are winning and not just working.
6. Think more about investment
The self-made multimillionaires think more about investing their money than they do about spending it. They know that the tax laws always favor investing rather than spending.
You as an ordinary individual buys things that are liabilities while the rich in contrast, buy things that produce cash flow, appreciates and offers write-offs year after year.
7. Have multiple flows of income
These self-made multimillionaires never depend on a single stream of income. Creating multiple flows of income doesn’t just make more money come into your coffers, it also protects you from the risk that comes with just a single stream of income
It will surprise you to know that wealthy people also want you to be wealthy too. It is really a great mystery to them that people fail to be rich like they themselves. They have the opinion that they are not special and that wealth is available to anyone who wants to focus and persist.
There are two reasons why the rich want others to be rich; one, for you to buy their product and services and the second is that they like to hang out with fellow rich people.
