After hundreds of years of studying the most affluent and successful people in the world such as Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Steven Spielberg, Thomas Edison etc, 5 common denominators to success were unveiled. If these 5 principles are practiced without exception every single day, riches can't help but fall into your lap.
Wealth will be yours when your daily life encompasses these 5 principles:
1. Visualization and Meditation
2. Masterminding with Others
3. Income Producing Activities
4. Personal Development
5. Cultivating the Expectation of Leadership
Visualization and Meditation
Three words can sum this step up - Thoughts Become Things. If you can see it in your mind, you will go there in the body. Spend 30 minutes a day turning your thoughts inward, focusing ONLY on the end result and your thoughts will become your reality. One helpful tip I have to begin the visualization process is to simply start a list of 101 things you would like to experience in your life. Once you know what your dreams consist of it is much easier to visualize these experiences happening to you. So imagine the possibilities, and then imagine that they are possible for you. For if your mind can conceive of it, you can achieve it!
Masterminding With Others
Your Mastermind group is incredibly important because of the simple process that you become who your friends are. You wear their clothes, share their opinions and their habits. If you associate with chickens you will learn to squabble over crumbs but when you associate with eagles you will learn to sore to great heights. Be cognizant of the friends you make and the people you spend your time with. Choose to associate with people whose lives and lifestyles you admire, not with people whose lifestyles you are thankful not to have.
Income Producing Activities
Well, you have to do the work. Once you believe that what is possible is possible for you, you have to go to work and make it happen. Every decision you make in your life either brings you closer to your goal or further away from it, so choose wisely. If it's a home business you want to start, research the opportunities; if it's a CEO you want to become, become that person NOW; if it's articles you enjoy writing, make every article your best yet! Decide on what you want to experience and then do the things that will bring you closer to that goal.
Personal Development
Are there people in your organization who are making 3, 4, 5 times what you are earning? And wouldn't you also make 3, 4, 5 times your current income if you were in one of those positions? Well then, we don't have to work on the company, we have to work on you. Nearly 9 billion dollars was spent on personal development activities in 2005! If others can do it, so can you. Train your eyes and ears to read and listen to books and recordings that bring about positive changes in your personal and financial relationships. Immerse yourself in self-growth at least 1 hour every day, and most importantly ACT on what you learn. In order to reach the valuable things on the high shelf, you must stand on each book you read!
Cultivating the Expectation of Leadership
Leading is doing. To lead, you must move forward. Laziness is a sin so create a habit of lively behavior. When you have the choice of doing nothing or doing something, always choose to act. Choose now. Seize this moment. Spend 10 minutes a day in a quiet spot, imagining the person you want to become. Make a list of the attributes you want to display. Make your decisions quickly and change your mind slowly; put your energy into making the decision and then stand behind it. Your activity will create a wave of success for the people who follow.
That my friend, is the secret to success. Start now, seize this moment!
