Success means doing the best we can with what we have.
Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph.
Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.
If we do our best, we are a success.
Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

THE FIRST THING TO DO WHEN YOU GET YOUR PAYCHECK
(by: Malcolm P)
There is ONE money-making skill that will *very*
easily double, triple, or even quadruple your
success with financial independence... and I am
not kidding.
I'm talking about the skill of LEARNING HOW TO
PAY YOURSELF.
So you want to be a millionaire?
You want to be a millionaire but you've got
debts to pay and everyone's telling you to pay up
first before you even dream about getting any
wealthier. And now you're labouring everyday
just to pay your debts with your pay check and
then play with or save whatever's left of it.
Does this remind you of your financial life?
If it does, then read on to discover the biggest
mistake you're making, how you can correct it, and
how YOU TOO CAN GET WEALTHIER SOON!
LEARN TO PAY YOURSELF
Yes, that's right: pay yourself. And no, that
doesn't mean opening up a savings account where
you only earn about 2% interest. Paying yourself
means investing. You don't have to invest right
away but you have to have reserve money for an
investment.
Every month, set aside a certain, specific
amount of money to paying yourself. You should do
this consistently, NO MATTER WHAT. Make it a
priority over everything else - your mortgage,
rent, whatever. Just make sure you keep that
same amount of money from your paycheck every
month.
It's not really important how much you start
with. You can start with, say, $10 a month or
even 10 cents if you're really strapped. After
all, you can always increase this amount when
you've already got enough money. The important
thing is to start right away and make it a habit.
Pay yourself and then pay whatever you can
with your debts; not the other way around.
So, how is this different from a savings
account?
A savings account is more or less static. It
hardly earns interest at all.
But if you think of it as an investment account
- as money only to be temporarily saved and then
invested - then you're talking about a big
difference. An investment goes a long way. The
interest you get from it could double your money
in no time.
And sometimes all you really need for a good
investment is a few thousand dollars. Once you've
saved up enough money, hire a wealth coach
or mentor to guide you in choosing a wise
investment for you.
Soon, you'll see why investment is better than
a savings account.
If you always pay yourself a little with your
money and use it for money-making assets, you
can probably even use the investment to pay off
your debts sooner than you think! What's great is
that even after you've paid off your debts; your
investment will just keep on growing and growing
and growing!
Think of it this way: every month that you
don't pay yourself are months wherein you're not
creating wealth. This means you'll stay in debt
longer or just keep the status quo. Little
changes in your financial habits go a long way
and can alter your financial status more than you
think.
After a few years, you'd be so glad you didn't
wait until you've paid off your debts. Getting
wealthier means acting today. It's time that you
take control of your financial future. Start
paying yourself, you deserve it!

Wealth File #3:
Rich people are committed to being rich.
Poor people want to be rich.
Have you ever heard the saying: "the number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want?" In my experience, this is absolutely true!
Commitment comes from knowing exactly why you want to become rich. Rich people are clear that they want wealth and they are unwavering in their desire. They are fully committed to creating wealth. As long as it is legal, moral and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to create wealth.
By the way, when you read that last paragraph, if a little voice inside your head said something to the effect of "Rich people don't care if it's legal, moral or ethical," you definitely need to attend our Millionaire Mind Intensive program! You have no idea what a detrimental way of thinking this is! Stop what you are doing and click on the link at the bottom of this page.
Most people would never truly commit to being rich. If you asked them, "Would you bet your life that in the next ten years you will be wealthy?" most would say, "No way!" That's the difference between rich people and poor people. It's precisely because people won't commit to being rich that they are not rich, and most likely never will be.
It's interesting to note, however, that once you do commit, the universe will bend over backward to support you!

When asked his secret, he said, "Everything changed the moment I began to think big."
I refer you to the Law of Income, which states, "You will be paid in direct proportion to the value of what you deliver according to the marketplace."
It is important to know that 4 factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply, demand, quality, and quantity. In my experience, the factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is quantity. The quantity factor simply means how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace?
Another way of stating this is: how many people do you actually serve?
Small thinking and small actions lead to being broke and unfulfilled. Big thinking and big actions lead to both money and meaning. The choice is yours!

Wealth File #4:
Rich people think big.
Poor people think small.
One of our seminar trainers went from a net worth of $250,000 to over $600 million in only 3 years. When asked his secret, he said, "Everything changed the moment I began to think big."

Wealth File #5:
Rich people focus on opportunities.
Poor people focus on obstacles.
It comes down to the age-old question, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" We're not talking positive thinking here, we're talking about your habitual perspective on the world. Poor people make choices based upon fear. Their minds are constantly scanning for what could go wrong in any situation. Their primary mind-set is "What if it doesn't work?" or, more often, "It won't work."
Middle-class people are slightly more optimistic. Their mind-set is "I sure hope this works."
Rich people, as I mentioned in a previous e-mail, take responsibility for the results in their lives and act upon the mind-set, "It will work because I'll make it work."
Rich people expect to succeed.

Wealth File #6
Rich people admire other rich and successful people.
Poor people resent rich and successful people.
Poor people often look at other people's success with resentment and envy. They snipe, "They're just lucky," or whisper under their breath, "Those rich jerks."
You have to realize that if you view rich people as bad in any way and you want to be a good person, then you can never be rich. It's impossible. How can you be something you despise?
The Huna people of Hawaii have a philosophy that says, "Bless that which you want."
If you resent what people have, you can never have it.

Wealth File #7:
Rich people associate with positive, successful people.
Poor people associate with negative, unsuccessful people.
Successful people look at other successful people as a means to motivate themselves. They see other successful people as models to learn from. They say to themselves, "if they can do it, I can do it."
Rich people are grateful that others have succeeded before them; drawing up a blueprint to follow that will make it easier to attain their own success. Why reinvent the wheel? There are proven methods for success that work for virtually everyone who applies them!

Wealth File #8:
Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.
Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.
Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad (a book I highly recommend), points out that every business, including the business of writing books, depends on selling. He notes that he is recognized as a bestselling author, not a bestwriting author. One pays a lot more than the other!
Rich people are usually leaders, and all great leaders are great promoters. To be a leader, you must inherently have followers and supporters, which means that you have to be adept at selling, inspiring, and motivating people to buy into your vision. A skill otherwise known as selling.
Generally speaking, it is the leaders--those who can promote themselves and their products or services--who are able to amass great wealth.
