The Millionaire Mindset

If we were in a large meeting room filled with 150 people and I stood before you on stage and asked you one question: Will all the millionaires in the room please raise their hand? How many people do you think would raise their hand? 10? 25? 100?

The problem with this is that only the “actual” millionaires raised their hand. Be honest, you thought of a number and it probably wasn’t 150. But that’s okay. I did that too the first time I was asked the question. The problem with this is that the ones who didn’t raise their hand will probably never be millionaires. Why? Because you have to be a millionaire in your mind FIRST. The person who raises their hand but doesn’t have two pennies the same color is the person I want in my organization because no matter where they are financially, they have a wealth mindset. 

Wealth begins with a single thought. Is your mind conditioned to focus on wealth or lack? Look at your current financial situation and you’ll get your answer. Let’s expand on this just a little bit. Thousands of thoughts run through our minds daily. Some stay for a while; others are fleeting. Your fleeting thoughts can be particularly dangerous because they come and go so fast that you don’t have an opportunity to edit them before they’ve disappeared. We must be mindful of every single thought that enters our mind. Negativity is thrown at us by the bushel every day. We’re so conditioned to see and receive negativity, that we think it doesn’t affect us. But it does. Big time. Our eyes see (deceive) and we process what we see. Our subconscious picks up the thought and aligns it with our dominant feeling. What we see manifested is the marriage of thought and feeling. 

When we learn to be more mindful of what we read, watch on TV, listen to in conversations, music lyrics, people around us, etc., we begin to process just how much we are being influenced by these factors. The words, can’t, won’t, shouldn’t, and don’t should not have any place in your vocabulary when referring to Self. We must replace our negative thoughts with positive ones.  Thoughts and words that speak life have the ability to change your life in ways that will amaze you.

You can be wealthy in many areas of your life. But in order to create true wealth, you must have a wealthy mindset first. Develop your millionaire mindset and watch your blessings unfold. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over.
