30 Sentences For A Millionaire Mindset – part three

Welcome to the third part of the series about 30 sentences for a millionaire mindset. If you came here by chance, I highly recommend to read the first two parts first:

• 30 Sentences For A Millionaire Mindset (part one)
• 30 Sentences For A Millionaire Mindset (part two)

But, to be honest, those two parts are not mandatory, as none of the sentences here is. You can, and you should, do this in your own way. I’m just sharing my way of creating a mindset that proved to attract money and wealth in exchange for the value I created. So, let’s get started with the last 10:

21. Promote your created value

If you have created something valuable, don’t be shy about it. Never. Even if other people will call you an obsessed freak, go ahead and promote your dream. You will eventually reach the people you want to reach, and those who rejected you will forget about you. This goes for your friends, employees or potential clients: just let them know you have something valuable to offer. If you wait for them to come to you, they will eventually come, but, from my experience, it might be a little late. So, make the first step.

22. Don’t complain, create

If you are in need of something, and you don’t have it, do it yourself. Always. Just a very short story from my personal experience: when I decided to sell the online business, the Romanian online market didn’t have an independent traffic measurement system. And that would have been a serious roadblock in my intentions of selling the company. Because the metrics used for the company performance were poor, or manipulated by other players. So, I decided to involve myself in this, made a personal goal out of creating an independent online measurement system, and I actually worked for almost 2 years with the official NGO that made the measurements for print. During this period we started to establish, create, and promote an independent online traffic measurement system in Romania. Right now, the system, called SATI, is in place and is accepted by the entire market. Which is, in itself, a success. I could have easily complained about the lack of this system and expect for somebody else to do it. I just didn’t.

23. Do it your own way

There are thousands of ways to start and continue a business. Do it your own way, don’t try to copy. There’s a reason why you are like you are. Unique and different. It’s what makes you different that most of   the time provides value. Find you own way to express and provide value, and do it consistently. It’s difficult to do this, because you have only the other people success stories, and you’re not so confident about your own way. But try to remember that copycats are only getting copycats money.

24. Don’t refuse learning

Actually, try to incorporate as many skills as you can into your skill vault. For example, my astrological experience made me avoid some very annoying circumstances as well as going on some very interesting opportunities. There were times when I actually delayed the signing of some contracts because some bad astrological configurations – including the selling of my company assets – and I was right. So, keep  learning and integrate, it can only help you.

25. Wake up early

That certainly seems to be against sentence no. 19: “Get plenty of sleep”, but again, it isn’t. Waking up early is a beautiful way to prepare your start. I always felt some sort of hidden advantage on my side every time I had business meetings in the morning and the other guy was just so sleepy that he could barely speak. But it’s not only about that, it’s about waking up early on your opportunities bells and on your intuition hints. Those are very precious assets and trying to always be the first in front of them is so rewarding. (more…)

30 Sentences For A Millionaire Mindset – part two

Here we go with part two of the 30 sentences for a millionaire mindset series. If you come came here by chance, I recommend  that you start with the first post in the series, which covers the first ten sentences for a millionaire mindset. Just keep in mind that I don’t intend to create another manual of how to get rich, I am just sharing my personal experiences after 10 years of successful online business. Reading this  list can provide you with some food for thoughts, at least. And chances that you’ll get some valuable insights for your own goal toward becoming a millionaire are pretty high also, but remember that you are the only one who can really make that bank account to sky jump.

Without further ado, let’s continue the list:

11. Don’t think at problems, think at solutions

Often forgotten, as we have a natural tendency to insist upon the unpleasant things in our lives, instead upon things that could potentially make us happier. Getting out of the negativity that comes with the whole concept of “problems” and turning it into the whole new concept of “solutions” is in itself a big step in personal evolution, regardless of your intention to acquire a millionaire mindset.

12. Exercise your spending habits

That really means: get used to have a million dollars, if you’re going to have it at some point in your life. One simple exercise for that sentence is: pretend your 100 dollars bill that you’re going to spend today is in fact a one million dollar bill. How are you going to spend it? Do that three or four times and you’ll start seeing some patterns. From my experience, it’s better to identify those patterns before the actual million comes in.

13. Exercise your investing habits

Making money out of money by investing it is the next step once you’ve got enough to support your personal needs, and then a little more. Following the spending sentence above, making some dry tests for your investing capacities is a very interesting exercise. Where would you invest your first million of dollars? Try to invest first lower amounts (1000 to 5000 dollars for three months) and see what happens. It would get easier in time, but only if you exercise it first.

14. Spend as much as you really want, without starting to feel insecure

Spending money is one of your most powerful sources of guilt. If you continue to feel guilt after spending money, you’ll create powerful internal roadblocks on your way to your millionaire mindset. Your unconscious mind will tell you each time you’re closer to it: don’t get it, because I don’t want to feel guilt after you’ve spent it, you’re better off. Believe me, it works just like this.

15. Be disciplined in your work

Having a million dollars is usually a matter of getting together a million dollars. No, it’s not a mistake, and I’m not joking. If you’re not capable to sustain a disciplined flow of work, I really doubt it that you’ll be able to even count that million, you’ll probably stop somewhere around 100,000 or your first available Porsche. A million dollars is a serious business, so be serious about it. (more…)

30 Sentences For A Millionaire Mindset

One of the most common questions from media people after my first successful exit as an entrepreneur was: “After 10 years of online business, are you a millionaire now?”. The value of the transaction was confidential, so I decided to give them a somehow foggy answer: “Well, I was a millionaire while I had the business, I just didn’t have it transformed into cash…” Without exception, they were puzzled by this answer. That reinforced once again for me the very popular obsession for money as a number.

I wrote about money as an energy form before, so I won’t talk about it again, feel free to read that post if you haven’t read it yet. Basically, for me,  the most important thing about money is not its number or social value, but the raw energy it provides to you. Being a millionaire out of an online business is not so rare these days anyway, so the question was even funnier to me. But the “being a millionaire obsession” is still very common, and as I said, that question was one of the most frequent questions I had to answer, and not only from media people, if I think a little bit.

And then I sat down and tried to understand what is a millionaire. From a financial standpoint is clear: a guy with more than one million in bank. But from my own standpoint it wasn’t like this. Being a millionaire is not a question of money into bank. I was very honest when I responded that I was a millionaire before selling the business, and this is how I felt. I think being a millionaire is more of a mindset than a bank statement. Being in a millionaire mindset means you can access that amount of money if you want. You just can. It’s not compulsory, or needed. But it’s like an insurance. If you need that amount, you can have it. By selling the asset’s of your company, for instance.

And than I started to think about the elements of such a mindset. I thought about what I have done in the last 10 years, and how all of this rearranged in this mindset. I come up with around 30 sentences, which I will try to describe below. Keep in mind that these are my personal experiences only, and they may or may not apply to your own lifestyle, expectations or goals. Also, this is not even remotely a manual of how to become a millionaire. As I told you, I don’t know much about it and by reading this post you won’t learn how to put a million cash in your bank account. All I know is how I created a millionaire mindset, without having the physical money. Weather you should manifest or not the physical money is entirely up to you.

I will try to split the list into 10 sentences per post. Here we go, with the first 10:

1. Don’t buy stuff you don’t want just because you need to spend money, buy something you really really want

That’s a tremendous money saver. It deals with all your impulse shopping crisis, or social pressure for cool gadgets, or you name it. If you manage to really buy things just because you need them, and not because you need to spend money in order to have some thrills and chills out of it, you’re half way there. You’re piling energy.

2. Don’t be afraid to want things, regardless of their money value

That could be interpreted as contradicting with the first sentence but it isn’t. It’s about giving yourself freedom to want what you really want, without putting a tag or a limit on it. It might costs millions of dollars, but allow yourself to want that thing, even if you don’t have millions of dollars. Yet. You will attract that money. Eventually.

3. If you really really want to have something, just have it, don’t fantasize about having it

Again, you might think this is opposed to the last sentence, but it isn’t. It’s about really going after what you want, until you have it. Just go and have that car, or that computer, or that relationship if you really, really want it. Don’t settle for less. It might feel like you don’t have the resources for it at that exact moment, but that’s an indicator of the fact that you don’t want that thing enough. Yet.

4. Carry more cash in your wallet

Might sound dumb, I agree. But it just works. Make your wallet capable to accommodate your day to day operations. If you aim for millions of dollars but you are not able to pay your parking lot, you won’t have those millions, that’s for sure. Carry more cash but don’t spend more cash if you don’t need that (that would be sentence no. 1, in case you already forget it )

5. Understand what people want from you

The easiest and most enjoying way to make money is to get it in exchange for the value you provide. If you’re going to make money this way, it’s crucial to know what people want from you. It’s incredible how most of the people are making assumptions about what they are supposed to give. Just make sure that you know exactly what people want from you. And, if you can, deliver. (more…)
