Have you heard that popular song, "I want to be a billionaire" right? It sounds like
a really big number. At one point my life, I couldn't even fathom how big a billion
was. In fact, I even had a hard time wrapping my mind around a million which
has since become a really small number and first I even had to figure out how
to like make a hundred thousand dollars tangible and before that ten thousand
dollars tangible. Today we're going to talk about the mindset of the wealthy, right.
Whether you want to be a millionaire, a billionaire, a trillionaire, we're going to
break it all down for you right now on how to think to make that happen.
Alright, so today, we're talking about how to become a billionaire. Now what's
so perfect about this is I got to tell you up front, I am NOT a billionaire but
I do believe that it's an inevitability for me to get there in time and I want
to share with you what I've consciously been doing since January 15th 2009 to
move towards that so while I'm not a billionaire yet, I can't tell you that I
have made extraordinary leaps and bounds and processes and progress by doing four
specific things so that's what I'm going to be sharing with you. So whether
you want to be a millionaire, a billionaire, a trillionaire, I believe
that the process is going to be very similar because while I'm not a
billionaire, I've used this process to become a millionaire and I've used it to
become a multi multi-millionaire and I believe it's going to keep on growing for
me so here are the four steps. Number one, you got to make the decision first, this
is probably one of the scariest steps, is deciding to achieve something that is
big, that's out there, that you haven't really ever done before, right? And so I
remember January 15 2009, standing in front of an audience of 200 people and
declaring and showing a business plan for how I wanted to take my very first
company and take it to a billion dollar status and of the people in the room
that day, I remembered there was a moment where I was holding up the first dollar
bill that my father had made when he came to America, he had saved that on his
wall and my father's still alive today but I requested that a few years ago
that I wanted that, for me it was precious because I could feel the
energy of what it meant to my father and I the people that were there, I
inspired them I felt inspired and people chose that day to start investing in our
company so that it could grow and really move forward into becoming something
really great. So the first step is, you got to make a decision, decide what you
want. For example, I know people will say well, I don't want to be a millionaire or
anything, well actually do you know how small amount of money a million dollars
is? You do want to be a millionaire. Why? Because when a retirement comes,
that's a modest amount of money. 10% on a million as $100,000 a year which I get
it, that's above, that's double than what the average person in America
makes, the combined household income is around $80,000 so you're even outpacing
that but it means in retirement, you're going to
some increased health care costs, you want to be able to travel, do something
for them so you got to get to grips with what you want. Now by the way, the
decision can't be, I want to have money, the decision can't be, I want to get
wealthy or I want to have lots of money. You need to get empirical, you got to get
specific. What is the amount of money that you like? I remember when I had
never made six figures before, it's like I want to make six figures, that year I
did not make it but a couple years in, I did. So whatever you declare today, you
don't know exactly when you're going to get it, the first step those you need to
decide that you want it and you've got to settle on a number that is you no
matter what number which means, don't back down, you're going to stick with it no
matter what. Okay, here's number two. You got to learn
how to think wealthy thoughts, right. What do you want to be a millionaire, a
billionaire, a trillionaire, whatever that looks like to you, thinking wealthy
thoughts for me is a daily meditation that I do every morning. I believe that
when I allow myself to meditate and in my mind actively project myself into the
future possessing everything that I desire as
if it's already happened, it becomes a very emotional experience and I'm
training my brain that this is the life that I've created. I'm training my brain
that this is good, that this is okay, that this is what's desired and wanted and
I'm actually just time-warping. I'm spending time actually in that space
even though it technically hasn't happened yet. You're capable of achieving
and doing everything first in your mind before you ever do in the real world and
frankly, it's not going to happen in the real world till you do it enough here in
your brain. So number two is think wealthy thoughts. Now let me go just a
little deeper on this for a second. I'm inviting you to actually sit down and
get into a quiet place where you'll be undisturbed, where you can have this
active meditation. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in through your nose
and be excelling through your mouth slowly as you allow all of your lungs to
fill. After you've taken a few deep breaths, you'll notice that there's a
great calmness and peace that comes over you. The blank slate is now empty because
you've emptied your thoughts and it's time now to start thinking, what is it
with me as a billionaire? What does that look like? Who am I with? What am I doing?
How does it feel? This needs to be an emotional experience for you, this is not
a logical process, this is an emotional experience. Why? Because emotions is what
actually activates the serotonin in the brain which says, oh oh having new
thoughts and ideas unconscious, can't tell the difference in the past, present,
future and you're literally programming in your brain and your subconscious as
if what you're experiencing is real because your subconscious mind cannot
tell the difference. Think about any time you've ever woken up from a scary dream
that you thought was real and then you woke up and realize that it wasn't, your
brain is powerful to believe all sorts of things and this act of meditation
that I've just described is how it works. Now how you know that you're doing it
right? Did it produce a tear? Are you smiling? Do you feel intense amounts of
joy or peace? If you're not feeling a maximum level of positive emotion then
you're just not there yet. So you stick with this and you do this
every single day. Yes, I'm saying that how you become more, how you achieve more, how
you do more comes down to the time when it looks like you're doing nothing.
Here's a third step. Inspired action. Once you've made the decision, daily action is
going to be required to grow financially in any capacity so even though 2009
January 15th I made the declaration of building a billion dollar company and me
and my mind and in my heart I'm a billionaire, that thought has been with
me now for the last several years and it hasn't gone away, it's something I harken
to and what I've been doing since then is every day is an opportunity to take
inspired action. Now inspired is staying in that grounded space and allowing
yourself to go to your intuition, not always what makes the most logical sense
and most important is you got to take action, it's not just sitting on your
butt meditating, now you got to get up and go do something about it and if
you're inspired to do something today, don't end the day until you finish doing
it. Here's the fourth and final part, you need a mentor. We become the average of
the five people we spend the most time with. Who are you spending time with? Let
me talk about me for a second. So I hang out with a number of individuals, some of
them are multi multi multi millionaires, not all of them are because some of them
have different value to create for me that's non monetary but I'm hanging
around exceptional extraordinary individuals, these are individuals at one
point or another I sat and paid money to be in their seminar, it's other
individuals that have made through successful connections and there's an
individual right now in my life that I've been spending a lot of time with,
that he's a good solid human being, he's done some extraordinary and
exceptional feats and the more time I spend with him, I like who I am, I like
who I'm becoming and I like what I'm learning. It's a really beautiful
experience. A mentor is more than just a friend however, a mentor is an individual
who has been where you want to be and they know how to get there.
I'll admit right now, I don't have any active billionaires that are mentoring
me but have multimillionaires that are. In fact, I'm going to an event in two
weeks in Florida to spend an entire week with one of my top business mentors
who's done hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
business, he's been one of my biggest and brightest mentors and I'm going to be
spending an entire week with him as we're actually talking through new
business ideas and what we're creating and doing and these ideas already are
slated at doing potentially over 10 million dollars this year, which could
give a company valuation of 50 million. Now is that a part of a billion? Yeah, it
is a part of the billion. Is it progress? It's progress. Is it moving in that
direction? It is so I want to share this idea that if we'd become who we hang out
with beyond just casual friendships which you should evaluate, take inventory
of who your mentors are, who you're learning with and make sure that you've
put yourself with them in deep karmic debt. What that means is you're doing so
much good, you're paying so much forward and you've probably paid this mentor and
the more you pay them, the more that you can expect back, right? People that are
out there being cheap when it comes to the mentoring are going only for the
free mentoring. Let me just say, you will get in life what you pay for
and if you want to achieve a high level of success then you're going to have to
sacrifice, you're going to sacrifice time, you're going to have to sacrifice some of
the other things that you might want to do otherwise and you're gonna have to
sacrifice effort and you're going to have to sacrifice some money. That's the
bottom line. Now whether you're starting with nothing and you got these great
aspirations, you've got thing to sacrifice and for some of you
$1,000 is going to hurt and for some of you it's got to be a million dollars and
that's what's going to make it happen. I'm working with the woman right now that
I've been mentoring and as I've been working with her, she paid $250,000 to
mentor with me and her goal this year was to make a hundred million dollars.
9 months into our 12-month arrangement, she hit her hundred million
dollars, she paid a lot more but guess what? She got a lot more. So the math
always works out a little bit different but in general, you are absolutely going to
get out what you put in. So here's the four steps, if you want to become a
billionaire, listen, don't take it for me because I am one cause I'm not, take it
from me because I've seen progress, I'm on my journey and whatever your goal is,
here are the four steps. Number one, make the decision exactly what it is you're
creating and be committed to that decision whether it takes a decade, a
lifetime or six months. Number two, think wealthy thoughts, do your morning
meditation where you actually allow yourself to get into an emotional space
to yourself projected in the future in today with everything that you desire.
The next step is, you've got to be willing to act on it every day, take
inspired action and the bigger the goal, the more action you need to take, right?
And then the last step, mentors. Be with men and women who are at a level that
you deeply respect, they're beyond where you're at, they're in the direction where
you want to go and they can show you how to get there. Friends these are the four
