How to Believe You Can Become a Millionaire

If you want to become a millionaire, it starts with believing you can become a millionaire. This article shows you how to get in this state of mind.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Internet connection
• Speakers or headphones

1. Write your goal on paper or word processor. Make it your goal to become a millionaire in 15 years or less.

2. Write down what you think it will take to become a millionaire.

3. What can you do right now that will move you toward being a millionaire? Make it a goal to do this every day.

4. Every ten days look at what you accomplished and where you are at. Decide what new short-term goals are needed to become a millionaire.

5. Search the internet for positive songs about money. Listen to these songs every day--especially when your motivation drops. See yourself in these songs. (See the tips for song recommendations.) This may seem strange, but it's the exact same thing that TV commercials do to us every day to get us to buy their products.

6. Succeed at your daily goals, but stay positive if you don't. Realize that even if you spend 50% of your time thinking positive, you will get nowhere; the other negative 50% will cancel it out, leaving you exhausted and having made no progress. Think positive 100% of the time.

Tips & Warnings

• Songs about money: It's Money That Matters by Randy Newman && Money, Money, Money by Abba && I Wanna Be Rich by Calloway && Easy Street from Annie && Money is God by Elohim Marino && The Man Who Broke The Bank at Monte Carlo by Charles Coborn && We're In The Money from Gold Diggers of 1933 && Money by Pink Floyd && The Money Programme by Monty Python && It's Money That I Love by Randy Newman && I'd Rather Be Rich by Robert Goulet && Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani.
• As older songs get boring, keep searching for new positive songs about money and listen to and focus on them every day.
• For some of the best books on millionaires, check the resources.
• This article shows you how to believe you can become a millionaire. While belief in yourself is a prerequisite to success, the other half is using your motivation to develop the skills needed to become a millionaire. I recommend Steve Pavlina's website as a starting point. See the resources below.

on 1/19/2009 It's amazing what could happen to you in 15 years if you start now. Even if you don't make a million dollars, you will reap some sort of positive benefit from your belief and movement toward this goal. Maybe you'll make $600,000 ... hey, that's something!
