Step One to Becoming a Millionaire

The first step you need to take in becoming a millionaire is TO TAKE A STEP. Act. Do SOMETHING. Nothing will happen if you just sit there. Nothing will happen if you just read articles.

Begin some study program, sign up for a conference or seminar, email a millionaire and ask for advice (only if you are willing to take it), get some books from the library. Spend some time learning, but then jump in and DO something.

Maybe build (or get) a website. Partner with someone. Write a business plan.

You do not need to know everything, to have it all down perfectly before you begin. But beginning is KEY. Here are the steps I took in beginning, yours might be the same, they might be different (these are not in exact order):

• I attended a Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar.

• I attended a few other seminars.

• I got a website (I got help building it and setting it up).

• I joined Toastmasters to assist my speaking career.

• I bought a fantastic memory course and speed reading course (and DID it).

• I designed and printed business cards.

• I wrote down my goals and a time line for them

The trick here is that if you begin, if you are moving, in ANY direction, you are on your way. If you are moving in the wrong direction or sideways, adjust your course. It is easier to steer a moving ship than one sitting still.

Remember the old saying, "Look before you leap"? Well, yes DO look before you leap, that is simply being prudent. But you still have to leap! Do not just sit on the sidelines looking.

Being wrong will happen. You just keep moving, adapt, learn from and correct your errors. Mistakes will not make you any worse off than you were, and if you are wise, you will be better for the knowledge gained from them.

You may be thinking to yourself, that is really stupid. All he is saying is to do something. No, it is not STUPID, it is SIMPLE. Let me ask you a question: Are you a millionaire? If you answered yes, then I KNOW you took action. EVERY millionaire has (and continues to do so).

The specifics matter, which particular action you take, but they matter much much less than TAKING action. My original plan was to patent an idea I had, and develop and manufacture a product. I may still do that sometime, but have changed direction in my quest.

Every one who is NOT a millionaire has NOT taken action. Like I said, simple. If you take an action and it does not lead you where you want to go (where you want to go is another article itself), then change your action, take another, a different action.

Most of becoming a millionaire is NOT some special formulas or key undisclosed method. It is applying basic, simple principles, working and reworking them to achieve your goal. Learn them (even imperfectly), APPLY them (even imperfectly), and you will be on your way.

So, let me encourage you to meet me in person at the upcoming (Oct 15-17) Millionaire Mind Intensive in Minneapolis. Personally think it is a GREAT action to take!
