Money...it makes the world go around. It is essential to our ability to function in the world. Money buys choices. Money buys options. Money buys the freedom to live the kind of lifestyle that you want for both yourself and your family. Having enough money means the security of knowing that you could weather any short term crisis without having to worry.

How To Become a Millionaire Or Live Like One will explore the options for creating an abundance of wealth in your life.

Why We Want to Make a Million Dollars 

The Age Old Million Dollar Question

So, why do we want to make a million dollars in the first place? Why is it important to us? The answer is simple, really...

Having an abundance of money is an outward symbol of success. Making your first million means you have made it. You are successful. Others see you as a success. You are valued by our society as a whole, and probably most importantly, by those closest to you.

The younger you achieve your first million, the more valued you seem to be. After all, you now have plenty of time to go on to make multi-millions, or billions.

You are now really successful, right? You are now more highly valued than those around you, respected, really smart, the cream of the crop, and going places. You have prestige, power, and the ability to live any type of lifestyle money can buy. You have the ability to make any choice you want to right now.

We place a much higher value on material stuff, and fat bank accounts in the US than almost anywhere else in the world. Our country is rich in resources and opportunities to achieve staggering material wealth.

All you need to be one of the wealthy is a willingness to change your life and the drive to do so. Master a few basic skills, and you too could be a millionaire, multi-millionaire, or the next billionaire. The skills are learned, luck is NOT part of the equation.

Will you do it? Will you change your life? Or, will you stand back wishing, continuing to research, and hoping that luck will grant you the lifestyle you have always desired?

Take action, do not wait for life to find you and give you the things you want. Start right now! Do not be one who hesitates and looses the initiative to take the first step. Take the first step and don't ever look back. Begin creating the lifestyle you desire today.

Millionaire Secret Revealed 

The Millionaire Mind Set Starts With YOU!

You have made a solid commitment to make your first million, now what? I'm going to reveal a millionaire making secret to you. Well, three secrets actually.

To make your first million (and many more if you desire to do so) you will need only three vital skills. That's right. Just three pieces of knowledge will change your life forever.

These principles are so important that each deserve their own section to give them their full due.

The Millionaire Mindset Starts With YOU! 

Yep, you've got it what we think, feel and believe creates our destiny. YOU are the most important part of the equation.

If you think you can, you can...If you don't you can't.

Let me say it again, YOU and your perception of yourself is the most important factor in creating your life exactly the way you want it to be.

The concept is fundamental, and based on the Laws of Attraction. Stripped down to its simplest form the Law of Attraction basically says...like attracts like. You get what you think about, believe and attach emotion to.

If you focus on making money, gaining ground financially, being successful and believe that wealth and prosperity is within your grasp, it will come to you. If you fear that you will never have enough money to live or retire, you just placed an order for debt and financial worries.

Don't do go there. Concentrate on making your first million, prosperity, and security. Stay away from as many negative feelings and thoughts as you possibly can.

Millionaires, billionaires and other wealthy folks have a millionaire mindset. They are generally positive, influential people with CAN-DO attitudes. They don't ask how, why, or if...they say when.

Adopting a positive outlook is a process, and one well worth mastering. The trick is that you really need to believe what you asked for is on the way to you. You have to believe it without any shadow of a doubt.

The greatest gift that mastering the Law of Attraction gives is the knowledge that you have the power to create your life exactly to your liking in all ways, including financial well being.

The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne and Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't, by Michael J. Losier.

Both are step-by-step guides to using the Law of Attraction to bring to you your fondest desires.

Adopt the Habits of a Millionaire 

Once you have mastered the Law of Attraction, the second most important set of skills you can learn is how to emulate the habits of already successful millionaires.

What could be simpler than being a copy cat? Sounds a little like cheating doesn't it? Though when you think about it, acknowledging that there is value in the successful system of another is really the sincerest form of flattery. Nobody would seek to emulate somebody who wasn't successful, wise or a valued member of the community.

Don't seek to reinvent the wheel. Instead spend your time learning from those that are already successful. Take the shortcut of learning from those who have achieved what you want to achieve, and then modify their system to fit your own system of generating wealth. Everyone needs a mentor, their experience is invaluable.

If you do not know of anyone who can be your mentor, you are still in luck. There are two wonderful books which were written by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko detailing the habits of millionaires. Both books are a fascinating look at what is the common thread between many members of the millionaire club.

I highly recommend The Millionaire Next Door and The Millionaire Women Next Door: The Many Journeys of Successful American Businesswomen, both have made a world of difference in my own journey.

The Third and Final Secret to Becoming a Millionaire... 

You've heard this before, do what you love. Play to your strengths. Choose the life that puts fire in your belly.

What really helps to bring the Law of Attraction to it's full potential? Attaching the emotion to the request you are focusing on.

It stands to reason that if you want to attract more success and wealth to your life, easiest way to do so is to choose a life path that is what you love.

When we are happy and motivated, work becomes play, not another day at work. Happy and positive attitude attracts feelings of wellbeing and success. More success means more prosperity and wealth. More wealth means you are closer to your first million.

I have spent years denying that I love to read, research, write and teach. The end result after several careers...I finally took my own advice.

I get up every morning and can't wait to find out what I will learn today. I'm motivated. I'm more prosperous by the day. I have finally learned to tap into the Law of Attraction, and what do you know? I finally feel like I'm doing exactly what I should be doing.

I'm living proof that if you dream it, you can achieve it.

So, what if you don't know what else you'd like to do? You'd make a change if only you knew what you'd like better than what you are doing now?

Good Question. I have several friends that have run into the same obstacle. They wanted a change, but weren't sure what else they would happy doing. They had success by reading Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career For You Through the Secrets of Personality Type, by Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron.

This book is an interesting read which helps you to discover some career paths you may not have already considered based on your personality profile.

The takeaway point? Do what you love, prosperity will follow.

You Promised to Tell Me How To Live Like a Millionaire 

The Million Dollar Question Revealed

I have not forgotten. For the answer to this question I will refer you to The Millionaire Next Door.

I can't say how much the information in this book has changed my perception of the "millionaire lifestyle" or "millionaire mindset." It really was a revelation the first time I read it.

You'd be surprised to know that millionaires don't buy lots of expensive toys. They are actually fairly conservative folks who are better savers than spenders.

While they do enjoy all the toys and vacations they want, millionaires are not overly indulgent.

Sorry, I know that is not the answer you wanted to hear. But, it does bring up one VERY important point.

To give yourself the best chance of making your first million, don't shoot yourself in the foot. Pay attention to all of the habits that are keeping you from reaching that goal. You don't need to give up all of them, just perhaps rethink how all those little habits add up to BIG bills every month. Make a few adjustments and you are well on your way to becoming the next millionaire.
