The visionary Brian Tracy found that the following concepts and qualities ultimately lead to the person doing them to become a self-made millionaire regardless of who they were.
Cause and Effect
There is no causeless effect. That everything happens for a reason. If you can think of a desired effect, then you can find someone who started off without that effect, did something and ended up with that result. So you go and do what they did and you end up with the same effect. Success leaves tracks. If you get into those tracks and follow them you will end up where they are.
Nothing works the first time
Most people give up before they try. Once they fail they move to someday. Someday I am going to save money, someday I will do this and that. Whatever it is you are attempting will work after a few attempts that ensure you fully understand what it is that works and what doesn’t.
The person you need to become
The most important thing is not to become a millionaire, it’s to become the person you have to become to become a millionaire. To achieve something you have never achieved before you have to become someone you have never been before.
Qualities
Fact about these qualities is if you have them your success is virtually guaranteed. If you don’t have them they are learnable and lead to you becoming a vastly better person.
#1 Dream big dreams.
If your life could be perfect in the next five years what would it be? Dream list is a good way to start. You pick up a piece of paper and let your imagination run. 500 goals might be a reasonable number. It might just happen that you set off the law of attraction. You attract people, circumstances, resources, ideas etc. that move you towards the goals and move the goals towards you.
#2. Do what you love to do.
Find out what you like to do and find a way of making a living out of it. Something you love to do gives you energy, motivates you..probably what you meant to do since you were young.
#3. Commit to excellence.
All people who are successful are into what they do. At the top 10% of your field is where the money is. Everybody who’s doing well didn’t start there. And it takes 5-7 years to get there. What’s worse the 5 years are going to pass anyway.
#4. Develop your unique talents and abilities.
We are all designed to do something well and derive great satisfaction from it. Look back in your life, what has been responsible for the most success in your life up to now?
#5. See yourself as self-employed.
You see yourself as in charge of your own life. No one is coming to the rescue and you are entirely responsible. Everybody is self employed. Even if someone signs your pay check everything that happens there affects you and you are responsible.
#6. Develop a clear sense of direction.
That is you need to become immensely goal oriented because you can’t hit a target that you can’t see. Decide exactly what it is that you want and write down a plan to achieve it. Then determine the price you are going to pay and then resolve to pay that price. The truth is that you have to pay the price in full and you have to pay it in advance.
#7. Refuse to consider the possibility of failure.
The fear of failure is the biggest obstacle to success. 9/10 things that we try fail. But it makes you smarter. All you need to reckon is that it’s not failure but feedback. After long you make less mistakes. Failure is only an opportunity to begin intelligently again. Always look into failure for something good and you will always find it.
#8. Dedicate yourself to life-long learning.
Personal professional development is what takes you from rags to riches. Knowledge and skill really are the key (Peter Drucker). (Steven covey) says that your knowledge base has a half life of 2 years. Read in your field 30 to 60 minutes each day. That is books written by the best in your field. Take all the possible courses that you can. The expert talking to you for several hours has been at it for thousands more.
#9. Develop a workaholic mentality.
In this competition you’ve got to work harder, smarter and better than the rest. The 40 hours a week gets you survival. How many hours over the 40th really counts. Average for millionaires is 59 hours.
#10. Get around the right people.
Your reference group is the people you habitually associate with at work, home, social circles etc. You absorb the behaviors, the attitudes, the styles e.t.c of the people you associate with most of the time.
#11. Be prepared to climb from peak to peak.
All of life is peaks and lows. What is important is the general direction of your trend.
#12. Develop resilience and bounce back.
Since most things are not going to work you’ve got to learn to bounce back. So bounce don’t break. It’s better to mentally prepare for the downs before they happen.
#13. Become an unshakable optimist.
Think and talk about what you want most of the time. Constantly feed your mind about great ideas. Try out more things which dramatically increases the likelihood that you are going to try out more right things at the right time. And always persist.
#14. Develop courage and persistence.
Two types of courage. First is the courage to begin or launch even if there is no guarantees of success. If all obstacles must be removed nothing will ever get done. If you just leap the net will appear. The other courage is that to endure.
#15. Self-descipline.
This is the ability to force yourself to do what you know you should. Persistance and discipline are tied together. Full video >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxt4uPFPZP8&feature=youtu.be
