To amass a million in wealth, you need to position yourself as someone who can handle a million dollars. Develop your financial competence and personality to achieve that vision of the proper self-image!
Creating goals and vision
The most important thing is still your vision, especially long-term. What do you want to achieve? Who do you want to be in 5, 10, or 20 years? Regardless of how you will get there, it’s essential to set your somewhat long-term goals, so you know where you’re going.
Once you’ve captured this, do your goal 10X! Was your goal $1 million in wealth? Then it is now $10 million. According to Albert Einstein, Imagination is more important than Knowledge, and creativity is more important than experience.
Develop a system to measure your progress
Now, you will set up a system to measure your goals towards becoming a millionaire. One direction always remains important: constantly looking for new earnings, new unique experiences, and continuous growth as a person.
If you continuously make small steps, you see that you are progressing; this task is impossible with giant steps. Please do this by, for example, setting a goal three months from now and posting small wins and milestones. This way, you have a new performance daily or weekly, with an evaluation session after three months. Here, you ask questions such as:
Create a routine to perform at your peak
Partly because you can only measure your quarterly goals in 90 days, performing at your peak daily (in the present!) is crucial.
Every day, you want to take the proper steps to work as quickly as possible and, above all, as effectively as possible in the direction you want to go. With a daily and weekly routine, you keep yourself in a state of ‘Flow’ where you can achieve this efficiency.
Live in an environment that inspires, activates, and motivates you
You’re wrong if you think people live their lives out of habit. People live according to their settings, such as people, offices, and the overall atmosphere.
It is vital to set up your environment that way to be inspired to work hard, have charities, and gain new insights.
Visualize an environment where people are like-minded, pushing you to the next level, but also where you can relax and recover after achieving your quarterly goal. How does such an environment look? Then look for it and live and work there.
Focus on results, not habits or processes
What makes you look up to people? Are they poor people with perfect habits and priceless discipline, or are they millionaires living on junk food without sleep?
Ultimately, those are two extremes, but you are probably curious how that millionaire got to where he is now. However?
Establish relationships with mentors and business partners
So, it is also a nice gesture for mentors from both sides. You learn a lot for yourself; that mentor is happy to help someone else.
One of the most productive ways is to create your job. You do this by offering the right opportunities to people you want to help teach you.
Improve your relationships to become a millionaire.
Practice active listening and observing
Nobody has the skills to listen to others at all anymore. Learn to actively listen to whoever you are talking to and understand others, not respond.
People desperately want to hear themselves talk and repeat their Knowledge a thousand times, but nobody wants to listen. When you speak, you’re repeating information you already know. When you listen, you can always pick up new information.
Focus on ‘who’ instead of ‘how’
As briefly discussed earlier, part of becoming a millionaire or achieving financial freedom is locating and using relationships. A nice new frame for the question, “How am I going to do this?” is to reframe it to “Who can do this or help me?”.
This reframing allows you to outsource or even automate your business partly, which gives you more time to pivot to something else. Simon Sinek takes this one step further, saying, “Start with Why.” Your ‘why’ is also a starting point for your business.
Reflect on your values and definition of success
If you can’t upgrade yourself from last year, you’ve never learned enough. Make yourself almost ashamed of who you were 12 months ago.
Teach yourself to think from within yourself and define your goals and vision based on your thoughts. Not based on expectations from your environment. Your environment can, of course, help you achieve your goals, as was shown in step 4.
Don’t wait to change
Is your personality lagging, becoming a millionaire, or achieving success? Take action to improve this!
Set new goals that you can use as a means to get started. Remember that your goals were not the end but a point to reflect on and temporarily recover. Now it’s time to adjust your goals and get on the road again! Focus on what you will do, not what you’ve done. You live in the present with your eyes forward to the future. Don’t spend time looking backward with the past in your head! Start living for growth, transformation, change, and striving for a better you.
