Are You A Victor, Or A Victim?

August 8th, 2007

You know, to be success, or to be a Millionaire, the mindset is very important. Therefore you need to have the correct mindset of a Millionaire before you can be a Millionaire. Have you ever come across excuses like these?

“I have no money to make money”
“I was born in a poor family”
“I need to support my family”
“I’m too young/old”
“I’m not smart enough”
“I have no opportunities”
“I lack the qualifications”
“I have an unsupportive spouse”
“I don’t have the time”
“I have no luck”
“The economy has been down”

Have you ever come across with all these excuses before? Are you using them often? All the above are nothing but lousy excuses. Why lousy? Because there are a lot of cases which already break all the excuses out there. Take “I was born in a poor family” for example. Do you really think that you are poor so that you can’t make more money? No, in fact many successful people out there are born in a poor family!

Take another example, “I have no money to make money”. This is another lousy excuse that you heard often. Do you really need money to make more money? Again, its a no. Why did I said so? There are lots of free stuff in the internet that can make you rich. Well, maybe you will say you need to invest to promote your business. There are a lot of ways you can promote your business in the internet. And many of the ways are free. So you see, all of these are nothing but lousy excuses. Don’t get influence by people in your surrounding. Most of us are influence by our family, our parents. When you heard your parents telling you that you need money to make more money, you eventually will get influenced by them. All the above are the mindset of a victim.

Trust me, a victor will not think this way. So what they do is they will take all the blame on themselves. They blame themselves when something fail. Know this fact, when you put all the blame on other people, you lose the control power which can improve yourself! Just take my case as an example, if I failed in exam, who are to blame? The lecturers? Because their teachings are not good enough? You see, if I put the blame on lecturers, then I will keep on doing nothing except keep blaming the lecturer. In the end I will still fail my exam. However if I takes all the blame, then I will start studying and strive for a better result. Did you see the different now?

The controlling power is a very powerful leveraging tool that you must use if you want to be a Millionaire. But be sure that you are using the controlling power for the good sake. Don’t just keep on blaming yourself until you feel frustrate, disappointed and give up in the end. This is not what we want. We want to take the responsibility so that we can learn and improve. I’ve got examples of Victor’s Mindset here, you can read it. Remember this :

“Victor Learns, Victim Blames.”

The Importance of Goals Setting

August 5th, 2007

No matter what kind of dreams that you wish to achieve, the first step that you need to take is to write it down. Only by writing down your dreams, they will become the goals. If you’re not writing them down, they are just merely dreams. Goal setting has become very common among many people, they know this process is very vital if they want to achieve their target.

You should know the importance of goal setting. Now allow me to tell you a real case study. A few decades ago (Sorry I’ve forgot which year it was), there was a survey carried out in Yale University. The survey was to ask those students who studied there, to write down their goals and what they wanted to do after graduate. And you know what, only around 30% of the students written down their goals, and what they wanted to do after their studies. The rest did not wrote down their goals, for them, whatever will be, will be.

A few years later, they surveyed back those students. And the survey was a shock, because they found out one amazing thing that you never thought to happen. That is, those student who had wrote down their goals, are making much more money than those who did not wrote down their goals. If I’m not mistaken, amount of money is three times higher.

So now you see, goal setting is so important. Did you know why goal setting is important? It is important because if you have a goal, you will know where you are going to. Let me give you an example, when you’re driving, you must know where you want to do. You need to have a destination, a goal, only then you can reach them. What if you don’t have a destination? You will end up nowhere, and it is very dangerous that you may get lost.

In this real world, if you don’t have a goal or a plan, then you will end up in other people’s goal and plan. So, start from now, write down your dreams, make them your goal, then set up your plan. And reach them everyday, soon enough you will find that you are getting more and more closer to your goals.

When Fantasy Becomes Reality

August 3rd, 2007

Hi, welcome back to The Millionaire Secrets. Last time I’ve posted something about how you can get motivated by visualization (You can read it here, Motivation By Visualisation). Now I’m going to tell you how you can do this to help you achieve your dreams your aims. Actually this method has got something to do with our mind. Many people underestimate the power of our mind. They don’t know that actually our mind is the most powerful resource that lies in us.

When talk about motivation by visualization, you need to know about NLP, or neuro linguistic programming. To put it simple, NLP is the study of how our mind works and how you can optimized your mind towards your goals. It is the most important and the most basic thing that you will need to know if you want to SUCCESS or achieve goals in your life!

Sounds very interesting and very vital. Yes indeed. Let me show you an example, just close your eyes and imagine that you are standing right beside your mum, and you are watching her taking a big yellow lemon. She then put it on the table, take out a knife, and cut through the lemon slowly. And you can hear the sour juice of the lemon gushing out. Did you feel that your tongue now is filled with saliva? If you imagine all the process correctly, you should have produced more saliva in your mouth.

Why is this so? This is because your mind cannot differentiate between fantasy and reality. Your mind make it so real that your saliva is coming out in your mouth. So now you’ve got the idea how powerful your mind could be. If you still hesitate about the power of your mind, then allow me to tell you another interesting case. There is a patient, who is suffering due to cancer. And this patient keep on consulting the doctors as he (assume is a guy) don’t wish to die at a young age.

One day the doctor feel curious and want to try out a new method of treatment, since there is no more cure for that cancer patient. So the doctor tell him that there will be a new medicine that will be available in the coming week and that the medicine can successfully cure cancer easily.

So when the day come, the patient take that medicine, and a few months later, he was cured, the cancer cells in his body are totally gone. But what he did not find out is that the medicine given by the doctor is just a vitamin. The doctor lied to him. However his cancer was totally gone! Another few months later, this patient find out that the doctor lied to him and that the medicine he took last time is just mere vitamin. A few days later his cancer grow in such a fast pace and killed him.

The moral of the story, your mind is so powerful that if you keep on focusing on your goals, you will eventually achieve them. So if you want to be a Millionaire, then always visualize that you’re a Millionaire, and in the end you will be a Millionaire. Below are some tips to help you harness the powerful of visualization.

1. Find out where is your comfort zone. Be it in your bed room, living room, in a church or in a temple. Anywhere that will make you feel calm and can relax your mind will do. Be sure to choose a place where there is no noise.

2. Determine what is your goals. What you want to achieve, whether to gain a healthy life or to live an abundant life. Focus on your goals. If you want to have a healthy life, then concentrate on attaining a healthy body. If you want to live an abundant life, then imagine your bank is flooded with money, checks are sending to you every months, and having vacation while still receiving incomes.

3. Feel your dreams. You need to focus and make your visualization as real as possible. Add feelings into your visualization, feel exciting, feel exhilarating. Don’t think about all the negative effects, get lose of headache and stress.

4. Be consistent, the best is to do this process everyday. Take a few minutes everyday to dream about what you want. This will strengthen your belief system and your dreams will be achieve sooner than you can expect.
