Do you have the millionaire mindset?
If you want to be a millionaire, start thinking like one.
Your earning potential starts with your
mindset. Do you actively think about how
you can become a millionaire? Or are you
only focused on getting through the next
few months?
"The biggest mistake is to think becoming a
millionaire is impossible," Grant Cardone
writes in "The Millionaire Booklet: How To
Get Super Rich." "The first thing you have to
do is decide to become a millionaire,
multimillionaire, or billionaire if you want. …
Then you must reinforce that decision, over and over."
Personal finance author Keith Cameron Smith agrees. In "The Top 10 Distinctions Between
Millionaires and the Middle Class," Smith shares the insights he gleaned from spending
two years working with and studying the ultra-rich, including the attitudes that distinguish
their ways of thinking from those of the average person.
The biggest difference Smith observes between millionaires and the middle class is how
they frame their circumstances and present information to themselves. While millionaires
ask themselves empowering questions, the middle class tend to lean toward
disempowering ones.
Millionaires ponder, "How can I make $1
million a year doing what I love?" while
middle class people stick to the
practical: "How can I get my boss to
give me a raise?" Millionaires look at a
hard situation and ask, "What is life
trying to teach me right now?" while the
middle class tends to focus on, "Why
do bad things always happen to me?"
The distinction between these sets of
questions is subtle but crucial. "Empowering questions ask what you can do, and
disempowering questions ask what you can't do," Smith writes.
"Empowering questions cause you to reach for your full potential," he continues. "The
questions you ask yourself determine the results you get in life."
How you frame situations informs how you handle them. "Millionaires are more creative
than reactive," Smith writes. Instead of simply taking things as they come, millionaires
focus on how they can make the future different — and better.
