You are destined to be a millionaire.
What was your reaction to that? Was it disbelief? Were you cynical? Did you go "Yeah right. Sure I will..." and then roll your eyes?
Yes, I totally understand why you'll think it impossible. Firstly, how many of us "normal" people have ever seen a $1,000,000 before? Yes, I can relate to that. Couple of years ago, I barely saw $5,000 in my account at any point of time. And when I did see it, mostly thanks to the December bonus, it was gone really quickly too. So lets not even think of a million dollars right? Don't answer that. Secondly, you'll probably say you aren't earning enough or aren't earning period, especially if you're a student, to even begin to amass such an amount. Lastly, you'd probably have truckloads of bills to pay & things you'd want to get. So that'd mean you'll be paying for all those goodies and not have much left to save.
Truth to tell, if you're gonna think like that, you aren't gonna be able to. If you want to be financially free, you got to think financially free. BUT most important of all, you have to believe that you can become financially free. Remember that it all starts from your mind. And there are many aspects of the mind that hinders the path to wealth and financial freedom such as fear, disbelief, no confidence in one's ability, laziness, procrastination, unwillingness to learn, false perception, inertia and many others. Only you can set right these sabotaging thoughts and prevent them from being an obstacle to your goal of being financially free.
I recommend reading these books in helping you change your way of thinking.
1. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
2. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - T. Harv Eker
3. The Rules of Wealth - Richard Templar
These books are packed with valuable content and is too much to lay them out here in this blog. Nonetheless, I'll touch briefly on those that I feel are especially noteworthy in future posts.
Till then, think rich, think free.
You are destined to be a millionaire. Believe it.
