KeithHave you ever wondered why Billionaires seem to succeed on a level that seems unreachable to most people?. Some people call it luck, but it’s definitely not just luck, talent or hard work alone.
It’s simply the rules they play by. These rules are designed to break limits, defy odds, and are guaranteed to get results.
These rules are not common knowledge, they are not taught in school or college, but today I will reveal them.
RULE 1. Ditch The Old You.
You can’t create a new you by dragging one foot along in your past. Your past got you to where you are now. Every thought, habit and action brought you to where you are today, in order to grow and match your new Billionaire lifestyle, sacrifices have to be made. Evolve, or stay stuck. Success demands transformation.
Ask yourself these questions. What limiting beliefs are keeping me average?, what am I doing each day to improve my circumstances, if anything?, what people are draining me and who are those serving me?. The truth is, for things to change, you have to change. To elevate your lifestyle you have to elevate you first. Billionaires cut out the dead weight, they adapt and constantly reinvent themselves over and over.
RULE 2. Be Your Biggest Fan.
The size of your bank account is a direct link to the size of your thinking, let’s be honest, if your thinking is limited, so will your finances be limited. You have to believe in yourself and your ability to leap forward to a bigger and much better life.
If you lack confidence, others will sense this in you and treat you accordingly. We are all on a journey, if you really want wealth you have to embody the feeling of it long before you see it. Most people won’t move forward without some kind of evidence, your evidence should be the evidence that all things are possible if only you believe it. Talk, walk and act like a winner and the world will treat you accordingly.
People love people who appear to be on the “up”, A sign of confidence is very attractive. if you are always bitching and moaning, you will always be attracting the unattractive. People hate whiners, except of course, other whiners. Billionaires are not just rich in money, they are rich in self-belief, you have to believe you can be rich. Self doubt is just self sabotage in disguise.
RULE 3. Welcome hardships.
Most people spend their lives avoiding difficulty. However, as all Billionaires know, the real wealth lies on the other side of difficulty. Your problems are other people’s problems too and solving other people’s problems is the key to wealth. By overcoming difficulty you build strength, resilience and tenacity. All things come to those who decide they are going to have them. And most good things in life come after some kind of difficulty.
Challenges are the price of greatness, don’t run from them, run to them. Overcoming hurdles is how you attract the billions in the first place as most people are just too busy running from them.
Billionaires thrive under pressure. If your dreams are big then your challenges will be just as big. The bigger the struggle, the bigger the reward.
Rule 4. Get Addicted To The Process
High performers focus on the process. Most people dream a lot and take little action, Billionaires do exactly the opposite, it’s nearly all action and minimal dreaming, and when they do dream, it’s big. No one ever got big by thinking small, small thinking gets small results and big thinking with small amounts of action will also get small results.
Think big and take giant steps.
For Billionaires, small wins compound into big wins over time. Success isn’t a one time event, it’s the result of showing up day after day. They don’t wait for motivation or approval, they just get on with it. A day wasted is a day lost. You have to keep going even when things are not going your way. Fix what’s wrong but always keep going.
If you never give up, it’s almost impossible to fail. Eventually it will all click into place and you will achieve your goal. Even a 1% increase today and every day will get you the results you want, soon, you will become unstoppable.
Rule 5. Always be learning
The moment you think you know everything, you’ve already lost. In order to become the person you want to be, you have to educate the person you already are. Money invested in self education is never wasted. Your value to the marketplace depends on both your value to it and the difficulty it would be to replace you. This is how you have arrived at your current financial situation.
Billionaires are constantly evolving, they remain students for life. Knowledge is great power when it is put into action. Don’t keep it in your head, move it and create great things. Surround yourself with experts, absorb every lesson you can and constantly look for ways to improve. Success isn’t about what you already know, it’s about constant improvement. Stay hungry and stay humble.
Rule 6. Embrace The Boring
Most of the work you do to obtain success is pretty repetitive, at first you will probably repeat a series of steps over and over. This is all part of reaching the glamorous levels of becoming a Billionaire. We only see the end product, the glitzy lifestyle, the cars, the houses and the fabulous destinations. We never see the days, months and years of hard, repetitive work that produced that result.
When you go to the gym, you see little or no progress on your first day, in fact for the first couple of weeks you probably only gain pain. However after repeating the steps over time, slowly you will see your body alter. Your muscles will start to get bigger and over time, maybe several months, you’ll see some worthwhile gains. Business is the same, at first it all seems a bit repetitive (and costly), and not much is happening. However at some stage you get your first sale, then, BOOM, it all seems to feel worthwhile.
Rule 7. Momentum Is Everything
The biggest enemy to success is starting, stopping and starting all over again. This is quite common. People are constantly interrupting their success by doing this. Think of all the things that you started and stopped, if you had just carried on, you would have been quite good at them by now, yes?.
A lot of people do exactly this when pushing for growth. Difficult times call for tough people, if you give up every time something gets difficult, you’ll always be giving up. Remember, tenacity rules over talent. Billionaires are not necessarily the most talented people on earth but they are amongst the most tenacious.
Always be moving forward. Staying the same and trying to get more is just plain crazy. Keep improving every day, keep learning and keep building your dream.
Rule 8. Rich people are not the enemy
When you see a rich person, what are your first thoughts?, is it envy?, annoyance? or is it “hey, I can do that”. How you react will determine where your headspace is. At this point we should remind ourselves of the hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide the wealthy provide and the billions of dollars that many of them give to charity. When someone gets rich (legally), others gain, a myth often bandied about (usually by broke people) is that in order for someone to get rich, someone must get poor. This is total rubbish.
By getting rich, you inspire others, you employ others, you spend more therefore helping the economy and you pay more tax, which also helps the economy. Sidenote: Yes, some companies pay very little or no tax.
The bottom line is, no one “sticks it to you” in this life. The universe is not out to get you, your thoughts, habits and actions are all steering your progress, or non progress every day. If you are determined to do something, no one can stop you. People create their own prisons by fear and self-doubt.
Don’t listen to your excuses or the excuses of others. Billionaires come in all shapes and sizes. There is no “one size fits all”, most of them started out with mortgages, a partner, kids, bills etc.
And Finally: If you can learn how to make a $100,000 a year, you can learn how to make a Million or a Billion, it’s just math. A small increase in effort every day can produce huge results a little way down the line.
All the best
Keith
