Success Principles

The Craziest Principle To Be Rich

January 12, 2010 , 3 Shawn

I have just attended to Robert G Allen and Patric Chan’s Multiple Streams Of Incomes In A Flash workshop yesterday.

It is such a great event and I’m feeling so proud that I’m able to meet with Robert Allen, the author of international best seller of Nothing Down, The One Minute Millionaires, Multiple Streams of Incomes and more.

What I’m going to share with you today is something that most people will never think about in their life. It hit me when Robert tells us one principle to become rich in the workshop.

He said, “if you want to be rich, you must be a fool and act like a fool.”

How true is this! You don’t have to care about what others are going to say about you. If you tell your friends that you’re going to be a millionaire, will they laugh at you or think that you’re crazy?

Most of the time people who are trying to breakthrough the norm will get fooled by others. This is because when you’re trying to do something extraordinary, ordinary people will think that you’re crazy because you’re thinking and acting differently from them.

Yet, this is the most important and crazy principle to become rich.

I read a lot of self-help books. I will buy like one or two books each month and I will spend at least 30 minutes into reading personal development books everyday.

Some of my family members say that I’m a bookworm and I read too much about making money. Sometimes they’ll tell me that I’ve been brainwashed by those books.

Well, sometimes it hurts because what we’re getting are not supports from our family members or friends. Instead, they laugh at us and think that we’re crazy.

The same happen when I tell my friends that I attended Ewen Chia, world’s #1 super affiliate workshop for RM3,497, roughly around US $1,000, they all responded with just one word, “crazy”.

I don’t know about you, but I think you’ll face the same kind of respond or moment in your life just like me.

Indeed that you must hold your dreams until you achieve it. You must have the persistence to go on without giving up. Whenever you hit an obstacle, try to go over it, go under it, fly through or just blow it up.

You have to be creative and be daring to take actions that most people are not daring to take. You have to be different if you want to be extraordinary in your life.

People may look at you and think that you’re crazy, but think about it seriously, who are the one that is crazy?

The one who lives a mediocre life and think that they should not break the rules or even try to be extraordinary? Or the one who dares to take action, be different from the crowd, lead the group, hold to his dreams and be extraordinary?

There’s a phrase that I like a lot from Anthony Robbins. He says…

“If you want to play the game and win, you have to play it “full out”. You’ve got to be willing to feel stupid, and you’ve got to be willing to try things that might not work – and if they don’t work, be willing to change your approach.”

Don’t be afraid that when you do something and it fails to deliver the result you want. When you fail in something, don’t get discourage or give up. Don’t be afraid that people might laugh at you.

What you have to do is to get up and prove yourself that they’re wrong.

Make a fool out of yourself and be persistence! You can achieve your dreams!
