Millionaires Know that they are Their Money- Say What???

Many millionaires have been bankrupt or short of cash at different times, but they all understand that the money is not their wealth. Their wealth is within them. Their mind, ideas, thoughts, experience, plans, goals and contacts are what make real wealth.

In 1981, Robert Allen participated in a challenge with the Los Angeles Times where they took away his wallet, cards, contacts, the lot, and left him just $100 for living expenses for three days. His challenge was to buy one or more properties within three days. At the end of the three days he had acquired not just one but 6 houses valued at almost $500,000 (remember this was the 80s) and handed the reporter money back from the $100 dollars at the end.

In many ways when they took his belongings they bankrupted him. He did not have any financial statements, credit cards, or money apart from his living expenses, but he was still able to purchase 6 properties! How? He still had himself. He is his wealth.

So making money is just a byproduct of your true wealth! It’s a byproduct of your knowledge, your experiences, your courage and your willingness to do what’s necessary to make money. No matter what your position is now, when you develop your true wealth, yourself, it will become easier and easier to make money.

We can all Make Money (no secret ingredient needed)

“If we study people who have gotten rich, we find that they are an average lot in all respect.” Wallace D. Wattles, Science of getting rich

In this statement, we learn that people who make money and wealth and are successful, not because they have magical powers, special gifts or special talents. They are successful because they do the right thing at the right time and in the right way allowing them to achieve their desired out come.

I have met and interviewed many people who have acquired all the money and wealth they could ever want. In talking with them, I personally learned that they are just people like me who have learned self control when it comes to making money and wealth. Like in Kung Fu Panda, "There is no secret ingredient."

What this means for us is that we can accomplish our dreams and goals if we learn to focus on them in an optimistic way, and take consistent action to achieve them.
