Thinking Like A Billionaire

money_peopleOne of the questions I ask my students is What’s the most you’ve ever earned? Not just this year, but ever. I usually get answers around $40,000 to $65,000. Once in a while I’ll get one that’s over $100,000.

Another question I ask is How much would you like to earn? Here, I mostly get answers in the $100,000 – $150,000 range. The biggest number I’ve gotten was $200,000 personal income.

What’s wrong with these numbers?

If you’re saying I want to be independently wealthy, I want to be rich, I want to be a millionaire… $100,000 – $200,000 is TOO SMALL. We’re talking limited thinking. If this is you, don’t feel bad. Most don’t have any goals. You’re above that. Now, let’s get you way above that and on to the lifestyle you really want and deserve!

Deserve. Let’s take a look at this word. You will never rise above what you believe is possible or what you believe you deserve. I have found several of my clients came to me for help because they weren’t happy and they weren’t making the money they wanted. In digging a bit, I found they had a very low ceiling of what they believed was possible. But even worse is they didn’t feel they deserved better. Their MINDSET was sabotaging them. That’s why I spend so much time focusing on mindset with my clients. What the mind can believe and conceive it can achieve.

It all starts with your beliefs. Remember what Henry Ford said: “Whether you believe you can or you can’t, you are always right.” Many of the millionaires and billionaires in the past and today do not even have a college education. That’s right. Making money has nothing to do with how smart you are. BECOMING successful does have to do with your thinking, beliefs, attitude, persistence, ability and willingness to do whatever it takes.

Notice “becoming” above is all in caps. That’s because we are constantly learning, growing and becoming. Life is meant to be fun, so let’s make this fun as well. As you create the life you want (versus living a life of circumstances), you will notice the times you had the most fun you also created the most good in your life. Take a look at your past accomplishments and you’ll see this pattern.

Now, let’s play the Billionaire Game. The Billionaire Game is about discovering your every wish. You have full permission to really play, use your imagination and go into that fantasy place.

Action Steps –

Get a paper and pen. Now, imagine you have just won the lottery and you have a billion dollars. Not just a million, but a billion dollars. You now have more money than you will ever need or be able to spend.

In order to receive this money, however, you must write down all the different ways you would like to spend it. Write down everything you want to be, do and have. Don’t over think it. Do this in five minutes. See if you can write down 100 different things. Set a timer for 5 minutes.

This is about expanding your beliefs and possibilities. Most people think way too small, playing it safe. It’s just the way we’ve been conditioned. You now have permission to blow the ceiling off those limiting beliefs. Write down everything you would be, do and have with a billion dollars in your life.

Your mindset will be affected by this exercise but most importantly, so will your ability to grow your business. The more you begin to think and act like a billionaire (on your current budget), the more you will attract the people and plans to grow your business. Give this a try and I would love to hear your feedback, OK.

Here’s an affirmation I use that you’re welcome to use as well: “I have a deep knowing that I have UNLIMITED supply”.
