About this ebook

Have you ever wondered what sets self-made millionaires apart from the rest? Is there truly a "secret" to wealth that eludes you, or is it simply a fear that holds you back? Many individuals never achieve riches because they allow fear to control their actions and hinder their progress towards financial success.

The truth is, there is no hidden "secret" to becoming a millionaire. If you genuinely aspire to amass wealth, it starts with aligning your mindset with your desired financial outcome. The limitations that hold you back are not imposed by your family, friends, or anyone else—it is you who possesses the power to break free from these constraints. Despite the naysayers, you have the ability to believe in yourself and dedicate the necessary time and effort to achieve millionaire status. It all begins with self-belief.

To assist you on your journey, here is a straightforward 12-step plan encompassing the essential traits exhibited by every successful millionaire. Each of these traits is crucial, and none can be omitted if you seek genuine prosperity.

It is vital to cultivate discipline in order to break free from financial constraints and create the life you truly desire.

By adopting these traits and committing to their practice, you will pave the way for financial abundance and personal fulfillment. Remember, the path to millionaire status is not a mysterious maze but a deliberate and purposeful journey. Believe in yourself, embody these traits, and witness the transformation as you transcend limitations and embrace the life you deserve.

    INTRODUCTION

    "Before you can become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one. You must learn how to motivate yourself to counter fear with courage." – Thomas j. Stanley

    What would you do if you had $1,000,000 in your bank account right now? Really think about it. ONE MILLION DOLLARS in your bank account right now in which you can do anything you want to do with it. What would you do? Visualize that for a moment.

    Would you buy the house you wanted? Maybe get the vehicles you want? Pay some bills? Possibly quit your job? Or maybe, you’d go on that exotic vacation you always wanted to go on.

    Now let’s really look at this $1,000,000. Can you really quit your job and live a carefree life? Well, sure, maybe. Well at least for about 10 years if you live on $100,000 per year, but what about the house you want to buy or the vehicles you want to get?

    A house is on average about $300,000 to $400,000 and a nice car is about $50,000. Get two vehicles plus the house, you now have about $500,000 left! And if you still want to live on $100,000 a year, guess what, you have only 5 years left to do so!

    Right now, you’re probably working the job that you went to school for on loans that you are probably still paying on. You have little to no savings with living expenses seeming to be ridiculously high. You feel as though you are not paid enough at your job while constantly accumulating more and more debt on your credit cards by paying for necessities such as food and the forever increasing gas prices. So, $1,000,000 probably seems like a distant dream to you.

    How did all those millionaires and billionaires do it? It baffles you when you hear that a million dollars is a tiny drop in the bucket to them, when you are trying to figure out how you are going to pay next month’s mortgage or car note. Then it starts to frustrate you because you start thinking that you are unlucky or not smart enough, or that it is a ridged game that you will never know how to play and win.

    Let’s be honest here. You are reading this book because you want to become rich. You want to be rich very quickly. You are tired of working at your job. You are tired of accumulating bills. You are tired of not winning the lottery. You just want a new life, one full of wealth and prosperity. The life that you see on TV that the wealthy and the celebrities enjoy, and you are willing to do just about anything to have it.

    Can you make a million dollars in a year? Absolutely!! Will it be easy? Absolutely NOT!! In order to do this, you need control. You need control to gain genuine power, honest wealth, and absolute happiness. You need control over your mind, control over your time, control over your finances, andcontrol over your business and/or idea. In order to become a millionaire in a year, you need iron-grip control over everything! Follow everything in this book and you will have at least one million dollars in 12 months. However, this book is not for the weak of heart or the wimpy. It will require dedication and plenty of sacrifice. It will require strict discipline and if you are not willing to dedicate the time, energy, and sacrifice, then please just give this course to someone who really wants it. Let someone who is serious about becoming rich have the opportunity to do so in order to change their life.

    You want to become rich; quit your job! Let’s face it; the possibility of becoming rich by working for someone else is slim to none. Tell you what, if you feel as though you will become rich by working your 9 to 5, then make sure you play the lottery as well. At least you will be increasing your chances of your wealth by doing so. Or better yet, make a grandiose exit from your job by cursing out your boss and live stream it on Facebook. With all the media hype that you will get, I’m sure you will definitely get a great payoff with an increase of your online followers. I wouldn’t recommend this method though because it could definitely backfire.

    If you really want to become a millionaire from zero money all you need are two things; an idea and a desire. Actually, it really doesn’t matter what the idea is. If your desire is strong enough, you can sell ice to Eskimos. However, if you are not totally driven by that desire then don’t even bother going any further. You are wasting your time. Don’t read this book any further and just give it to someone else. Seriously, if you are not totally driven by this desire, you really shouldn’t even try. You will go through a lot of heartache and a lot of sacrifice, and it’s not just only you who is doing the sacrificing. Your marriage could be put at risk as well as your relationship with your children. You have to be so driven that normalcy is no longer an option. When others are sleeping, you are working. When others are having fun, you are working. When others are relaxing, you are working. You must constantly and consistently work on the goal of becoming rich. If you put in the time and effort needed in order to make your million in a year, you are guaranteed to have it. If you want to make millions without the effort, then go to your local convenience store and buy a lottery ticket. Only problem with that idea is that the odds of winning are so much stacked up against you.

    The first class that most law and med schools have for their incoming new first year students is orientation. During orientation the dean usually tells the new bright-eyed students that if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend, they might as well end that relationship now, because the sacrifice and dedication that it will take to succeed some individuals will not be able to handle. Now if a school is telling their students that policy in order to succeed, wouldn’t you think that you would probably need that type of focus in order to become a millionaire in a year?

    What Do People think about Becoming Rich?

    I meet people all the time who have a desire on becoming rich. When I ask them how they expect to accomplish this feat, they usually do not have any idea or inkling on how to get there or even know what it takes to get there. Despite what some people may think, it is actually easier nowadays to become rich than it was many years ago. Over 10 million households have a net worth above $1 million which excludes their home equity.

    Bankrate.com commissioned Princeton Survey Research Associates International to explore how people feel about their chances for prosperity, as well as how they define wealth and their motivations for pursuing it. More than half (54%) of those 18 to 29 believe they will become rich. Meanwhile, only 34% of respondents in the 30-to-49 age range believe they will be rich, while 21% in the 50-plus age group think they would eventually become rich. What does this tell you? As we get older, our version of reality seems to change.

    People start believing in the world’s greatest lie. This is when there comes a point in our lives that we stop believing in ourselves and our dreams, and we lose control of what’s happening to us, and then believe that our lives now become

    controlled by fate.

    The Four Obstacles

    There are four obstacles that keep us from becoming financially wealthy. The first obstacle is that because we are conditioned early on in life as to what to believe and what not to believe, and what we are able to do and what we are not able to do, this becomes ingrained into our thinking. We are given many reasons why we can’t become rich. We are told negative fallacies about money. We are told that money is the root of all evil or money can’t buy happiness. We are told it’s too hard to become rich or we aren’t smart enough or lucky enough or blessed enough. Through the years of hearing this; fear, doubt, and guilt become ingrained in our minds and become a part of our fabric. We then believe that financial success is not for us, but only for the gifted (or not so gifted) few on television and the only way we are going to become rich is to win a multi-state lottery. Why do you think that there are more lottery store retailers in low income neighborhoods than there are in the more affluent ones? The lottery gives poor people a false sense of hope for wealth, success, and prosperity, yet the more affluent people realize that the chances of starting and running a business gives a greater level of success and wealth than playing the lottery.

    Now if we happen to get across the first obstacle, we then face the second obstacle: Fear of sacrificing. We know that we want to be extraordinarily rich but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning and sacrificing everything in order to pursue that goal. We are afraid of sacrificing time, money, or relationships. We don’t realize that sacrificing these things actually works for us and not against us. Technically it works like the law of reciprocity. The more you give, the more you get back. So, if you are sacrificing time, money, and relationships, you will get it all back in the end.

    Ok, you got past the first obstacle of being able to change your mindset and thinking, and then you have gotten over your fear of sacrificing. This then brings us to the third obstacle: The fear of taking risks. This is a major one because this is the one that makes the money. This comes from the old adage; Scared money makes no money. How do you think that you are going to make money and become rich if you are unwilling to take a risk and invest your time, money, and energy? Everything in life is a risk. Getting in your car and driving is a risk. Your
