Everybody wants to become a millionaire and get rich. Some
people just don’t know where to start. You can get rich in your own way and you
can start today. These tips will get you started on visualizing the road
ahead of you and enable you to set goals to make more money than you ever
dreamed you would.
Here are 6 different exercises for you to visualize how to
become a millionaire and achieve financial independence.
1) How to
Make More Money: Start By Writing Down Your Ideas
Buy a spiral notebook. Carry it with you if you possibly
can, and write down every idea that comes to you throughout the day. Review
this idea log on a regular basis.
Sometimes, one idea that you have while you are driving
along, sitting, reading, watching television, or in a conversation may be the
insight that will lead to the start of your fortune.
If your goal is to make more money, write down all of your ideas as
to how you will achieve this goal.
The rule is, “Catch the idea and write it down.” If you
don’t write it down quickly, you will very often lose it.
2) Goal
Setting: Relax and Reflect on Your Financial Goals
Take regular time-outs to relax and reflect on your goals
and the obstacles that are holding you back from achieving them. During these
times of relaxation, ideas will often pop into your mind that can save you
hours, days, and sometimes years of hard work.
3)
Gaining Financial Independence Using The Magic Wand Technique
Practice the exercise of fantasizing on a regular basis.
Sometimes this is called the “magic wand technique.” Imagine that you have a
magic wand and you can wave it over your current situation or problem.
Imagine that as a result of waving this magic wand, all the
obstacles are removed from between you and your financial goals.
4)
Project Forward and Think Back on Your Financial Goals
Imagine that your goal is to build a successful business in
a particular field. Project forward three to five years and imagine that you
now have a successful business in that field.
What would it look like? How big would it be? What kind of
people would you be working with? What kind of reputation would you have in the
marketplace? What would be your level of sales and profitability? How would you
be running this business?
And especially, what could you start doing right now to make
this future dream a reality.
5) How to
Become a Millionaire By Practicing “Mind-Storming” on Every Problem
Perhaps the most powerful method of stimulating creative
thinking is called “mind-storming,” or the 20-idea method. More people have
become wealthy, including myself, using this idea more than any other method of
creative thinking ever discovered.
In fact, this technique alone could enable you to gain financial independence.
The method is simple. Take any problem or goal that
you have and write it at the top of a sheet of paper in the form of a question.
For example, if your goal is to double your income over the next 12 months,
then you would write, “How can I double my income over the next 12 months?” You
then discipline yourself to write at least 20 answers to that question.
You can write more than 20 answers if you like, but you must
use your discipline and willpower to write at least 20 answers.
6) Save Your Money and Become a
Millionaire
At the very simplest, if you were to save $100 per month,
from the time you started work at the age of 20 until the time you retired at
age 65, and you invested that $100 per month in a mutual fund that yielded you
an average of 10%, you would be worth approximately $1,118,000 by the time you
retired.
Chances are, your discipline and your resolve to continue
saving, year in and year out, would have such an effect on your character and
your personality that you would end up earning far more than 10% per year.
But at $100 per month, anyone can become a millionaire.
Take
Action
Focused questions stimulate your mind and provoke
creativity. Decide on a goal and then ask yourself, “Why am I not at this goal
already?” What is the main reason?
