Millionaire Mentality

It is often said that millionaires are eccentric.

The dictionary definition of 'eccentric' is - deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice, etc.; irregular; erratic; peculiar; odd: eccentric conduct; an eccentric person. Of course millionaires deviate from an established norm - that is an essential pre-requisite to achieving anything worthwhile. What do you think happens when you conform to a normal style - you get a normal result. A normal style does not lead to great wealth because if it did everyone would be a millionaire. Millionaires and successful wealth people behave differently in many ways. Here are three things that make them really stand out:

1. They think differently - normal thinking tends to focus on the negative "That won't work," "That can't be done." Millionaires tend to think "That will work," "That can be done…I just have to figure out how to do it!"

2. They act differently - most people do not act at all on their thoughts and ideas; or only act in a half-hearted fashion and that is destined for failure. Millionaires take positive and enthusiastic action, which they fully expect to succeed.

3. They persist - most people give up at the first hurdle; seeing it as a confirmation of their expectation to fail. If you expect to fail, why bother to get over the hurdles? Millionaires see each hurdle for what it is: one more stepping stone on the road to success. A wealthy person knows - and expects- that setbacks will occur and it is mentally prepared to work through them, making changes where necessary and working steadily towards their goals and objectives.

It is the three stages of

1. Think 2. Act 3. Persist

Which separate the winners from the losers. If you make use of this process 'eccentricity' is assured. (i.e. deviate from the normal style) So if anyone labels you as ''eccentric' or 'crazy' then celebrate, accept it and rejoice! The alternative is normality, which leads to mediocrity. Watch the crowds and avoid whatever they are doing. Stand out and dare to be different.

Remember three main points

1. Practice positive thinking 2. Act differently - if you keep doing the same things you are going to get the same results…so change your actions 3. Fail forward - see mistakes as part of your success pattern.
