Your earning potential doesn’t start with your job — it begins with your mindset.
So, if you want to become a millionaire, it doesn’t hurt to start thinking like one. If you want to set yourself up for success, here are four millionaire mindsets to adopt.
1. MILLIONAIRES THINK LONG TERM
Wealthy people don’t only think about the present. They also consider the potential of the future. That means setting goals that might span years or decades, not just weeks or months. According to Smith, the longer you can stretch your thinking into the future, the richer you will become.
That’s because long-term goals force you to grapple with big-picture questions such as, “How can I double my income this year?” instead of short-term issues, such as, “How am I going to pay my bills this month?”
2. MILLIONAIRES EMBRACE CHANGE
Whether small or big, change can be intimidating. While the middle class tends to fear change, millionaires view any type of change as opportunity. “The problem with the middle class is it assumes change will be negative most of the time". “Millionaires assume that all change, positive or negative, will benefit them.”
3. MILLIONAIRES NEVER STOP LEARNING
Walk into any millionaire’s home and you’re likely to find an abundance of books, if not an entire library, Smith observes. That’s because millionaires know that learning doesn’t stop when you finish school.
“Success is a process". “If a percentage of your income isn’t going toward a financial education, you will stay trapped in the middle class. The more money you spend on financial knowledge, the more money you will make.”
4. MILLIONAIRES ASK THEMSELVES EMPOWERING QUESTIONS
The No. 1 difference between millionaires and the middle class is how millionaires present information to themselves. While millionaires ask themselves empowering questions, the middle class tends to lean toward dis-empowering 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 tend to focus on, “Why do bad things always happen to me?”
Stay focused,think positive!!👌
