How to think like a millionaire

If you’ve ever read any books about very successful people, you’ll understand that successful people do not think like normal people. They don’t settle for mediocre. They don’t react negatively to situations. And they always understand the importance of knowing where they want to be at any point in their life.

When I first read Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, I was introduced into a whole new world of thinking. I finally understood how the mind’s of the most successful people operated. After I read that book, I got into a bit of Anthony Robbins and learned about neuro linguistic programming. If you’ve never been introduced to NLP, most of it is based on rewiring your subconscious over time, and eventually you can change the way you perceive yourself and the way you view everything in your life. This is something everyone should learn about.
Lately there has been a lot of talk about the book, The Secret. I checked it out, and decided to actually order the DVD of it since I found it for pretty cheap. I’m a visual learner, so DVD’s are always better for me than books if I can find em. If you don’t have much understanding of how the brain works, or if you’ve never read any NLP or Tony Robbins material, you should definitely check out The Secret. It’s basically a VERY easy way to understand what you need to do in order to become successful in all areas of your life. The main ideas of the DVD are as follows…

• The Law of Attraction works in every aspect of your life. Positive thinking people will always expect good things to happen to them, and in return they’ll attract many more positive things in their life. Negative people on the other hand attract negativity in all areas of their life, and build up stress that is not needed. This applies to your health, wealth and relationships. Negative people continue to attract negative people, surroundings and ideas into their lives.
• Thoughts become actions. If you can visualize something and actually feel it happening. It will happen for you eventually. You don’t have to know how they’ll happen. You will find a way to make it happen.
• Vision boards are golden. This was a very small part of the DVD, which was talked about by an entrepreneur. He creates a board with pictures of the ideal life he wants to have. This could be houses, cars, family, money, girlfriends, hobbies….whatever…. Everything you want in life, take some pictures of it, or cut them out of magazines and put them on a board and place that board in your office. Every day make sure you look at your vision board and FEEL the feelings and thoughts associated with the stuff on the board. If you have a new car on it, picture yourself driving that new car with the windows down on the open road, and capture the FEELING that the car gives you. I just made one in my room and I’ve started to look at it every morning.
• Be thankful everyday for what you have in your life now. If you do not fully appreciate everything in your life, you’ll always want more and never be satisfied. Take 5 minutes every day to truly appreciate what you have.

I highly recommend checking out The Secret and Think and Grow Rich. The results will speak for themselves.
