And What Real Millionaires Do
Bill Gates set out to put a computer in every home – that dream is what made him become one of the richest men in the world.
When he heard “Tubular Bells” Sir Richard Branson wanted everyone to enjoy what he found pleasurable in that piece of music. That thought and drive ensured Virgin Records became a multi-million pounds business.
In the book titled “Elon Musk,” his wife was quoted to have said “Elon doesn’t think about money, he just knows he can get it. For him having money is a consequence of what he does” Today Elon is a Billionaire.
Peter Thiel believed there was a better way of making payment via the internet and so PayPal was born. In the process, he became a multimillionaire
On the other side of the spectrum, Grant Cardone set out to make more money than he could spend. He hated what lack did to his Dad and mother and wanted to ensure it will never happen to him. In the process, he made a self-discovery of his love for sales. After creating one of the most effective sales programs in the world he became a multimillionaire in the process.
I think it was Grant Cardone who said if everybody in the world become a millionaire there will still be more than enough money left.
This is why I share my knowledge and offer my Entrepreneurship Essentials: Idea to Thriving Business Fast course to help people like you find your path. With that being said, lets move on to answering the question; Why will most people not become millionaires?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#1 Most people have Small Concepts of what they can become and what they can achieve: Whether you set out to be a millionaire or want to create service/products that will get you there, it seems you must have a healthy concept of what you will be capable of achieving in the present and the future. This is perhaps what people call self-belief, an inner knowledge. Such confidence is gained mostly through personal time apart/alone and deep inward reflection.
Sadly this practice is alien to most people but very prevalent amongst millionaires
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#2 Be True to Yourself: Asking questions like “What product can I sell to make me a million pounds a year or what product is making money” etc – will not make you a happy millionaire. You can be a millionaire and be happy with yourself or you can have money but go to sleep at night knowing you are not doing what you really want. Please don’t get me wrong I know it is better to have money than to be poor!
You will never find truly successful people asking those types of questions. They enter into a business that is a true extension of who they are and as a result, they make money.
- Elon would have always placed a rocket into space he had loved rockets from the time he was a teenager.
- Jeff Bezos told his friends when he was a boy that he will send rockets to space.
- Les Brown always saw himself teaching thousands of people.
I feel sorry for people who want to build the next Facebook but have no desire for it. I read answers from p[eople who all they think about is making money and then I read answers from people like Hector or Tim Berry! You can tell this is from the heart! It is who they are – they are not trying to be someone they are not.
Be authentic – create a product or service that is an extension of who you are – what you love – not just to make money. That is what works over the long-term
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#3. You need Time – This is the biggest of my three points. In every case of the millionaires I have ever studied from John D Rockefeller to Elon Musk; it was the amount of time they spent perfecting their game that guaranteed their success.
Let me put it like this: Once you have decided that you want to be a millionaire or to deliver a big dream; the next step to guarantee the outcome is what you spend your time doing. When you read the answer to this question outlined by Flavian Mwasi you will notice that “For You” some points will be general but others will be the specific reasons that can hinder you from reaching the millionaire status.
By all means, work on the general but most of your time must be spent on the specifics that relate to you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#4 Ask the right questions: I was about to drop my 14-year-old son at the basketball court where he coaches the under 10s. So I asked him “How are you going to improve your coaching today?” He tried to tell me there was nothing to improve. then I pressed him to think. He then suggested one really good improvement.
Millionaire always ask questions! Poor people get a job – learn all there is to learn – sit back and pray for more money.
Millionaire is never content about their last creation (not because of money) but because they know it can always be better. Whilst everyone is applauding the iPhone Steve Jobs was thinking of the iPad. When the music business was resting on CD’s Steve Jobs was creating the iPod.
They are never content with their present achievement. They ask questions that promote improvements!
Ask yourself what you can improve today and then to go work on it.

Finally:
Not every business will become an Amazon or Microsoft but we can all get to place where we are financially independent!
I will say that the fact that you are reading this answers tells me you desire and have the ability to reach millionaire status. Like you I am on that road to success.
My dream is to carry as many people along too. I know there is work ahead especially the work we need to do on ourselves!
