HOW TO MAKE A MILLION : THINK LIKE A MILLIONAIRE (PART ONE)

"Money can't buy you happiness. But it helps you to be
miserable in comfort."

Introduction:

This article incorporates thoughts and extracts from Craig's three
money books, THE MAD MONEY BOOK, HOW TO MAKE A MILLION and STEPS TO SUCCESS, PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS.

Becoming a millionaire starts with one word... DESIRE.
You have to REALLY want wealth and prosperity...
for whatever end (reason) YOU want.

Then you have to really BELIEVE that you can achieve
it one day... no matter how deep in the "brown stuff"
you may be!

Here are a few misconceptions about millionaires:

Myth Number 1: Millionaires work 10 times as hard
as the ordinary man in the street.

Myth Number 2: Millionaires are more intelligent and
better educated than you and me.

Myth Number 3: Honest people don't get rich.

Myth Number 4: You need money to make money.

You may be surprised to learn that most millionaires
have "begged and borrowed" to get started. Some
have even been bankrupt and fired (there's a glimmer
of hope for me then!)

Financial prosperity and a fulfilling, well-lived life are
goals we can all achieve -- if we understand the
principles of success.

The main attraction of money is the FREEDOM to
choose your desired lifestyle. Earning a great deal
of money should not be for it's own sake. I really
believe that most people are too busy earning a
living to stop and think about how they could get rich
and solve their money problems... and that is the
reason haven't been able to do so.

Have you ever stopped to think through your particular
situation? Here are some ideas to help you get started
on the road to TRUE financial freedom. Look at each
one and apply them to your individual situation.

Think, really THINK WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING!

Thinking is the hardest work one can do...
which is why so few people do it!

Millionaires love their occupations. Work is leisure,
a hobby. Most millionaires continue working long
after they become wealthy.

First, find an idea or concept (one that leads to the
birth of a PRODUCT) - one that people really want
and that can help make their lives easier in some
way. (I provide information about how to better manage
your money and I love helping people.)

Don't give yourself a choice, an exit. Put your "back
to the wall" and "burn the bridges behind you." (I didn't
have many other options here in "Sleepy Hollow," so I used
the powers of my creative imagination to the absolute fullest.)

Your seemingly insurmountable problem can become
the greatest opportunity for your achievement. Make
the most of it!

Ordiniary people, who find themselves in extraordinary situations and who possess extra-ordinary (enough "ordinaries and extra-ordinaries there in that sentence, now Craig) amounts of determination can achieve wonders. I truly believe people can overcome obstacles, rise to any occasion, and accomplish their entire dream with enough faith and commitment...after finding and following his dream for many years (at least he thinks so!).

ACQUIRE THE MENTALITY, the MINDSET OF A MILLIONAIRE

Most people don't believe there are secrets to wealth --
they believe rich people are just "lucky." Most people
don't believe they can ever become rich.

It all starts with DESIRE.. DESIRE to be financially
independant and perhaps even wealthy. I believe
having substantial amounts of money gives one
choices and I would like to use it one day for good
to HELP other needy people, like "promising aspiring"
writers.

Here's a joke or two about writers...

What's the difference between a writer and a family pizza?
A: The pizza can feed a family of four!

What's the definition of an aspiring author?
A waiter!

Sorry waiters!

Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal."

the power to make it true."
- Richard Bach
