Minimum mentality thinkers let things happen; those with a millionaire mentality make things happen. So how do you become someone who controls your life, rather than letting life control you? You embark on a lifetime journey of personal growth and development. You find mentors who speak to you, and you listen to and read everything they say. You find people who are successful and you copy what they do. Success leaves footprints, and you might as well walk in them rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.
Sounds good, but how do you get started? What's step one? In any endeavor, personal or business, it's so easy to suffer from information overload. To get so weighted down with everything out there that you can't get up and take step one. You can't even figure out what step one is.
The first thing you need to do is take a serious look at who you spend your time with. If you're like me, I discovered that 100% of the people I spent significant time with were minimum mentality people. Make a list. Write down everyone you spend time with, how much time you spend with them, and what you do during that time. And then make some hard choices. Some of these people may be so toxic to your mindset that you have to eliminate them from your circle of influence altogether. There are some people you can spend an occasional few minutes with, some you can spend hours with, and hopefully at least one you can't get enough time with.
And here's a big word of caution -- DON'T underestimate the power of influence a minimum mentality person has over you. You may think you can ignore the negative influence, but especially when you're still struggling to develop a millionaire mentality yourself, you don't stand a chance at home based business success unless you surround yourself with the right people.
This was never more clear to me than when I attended Lisa Diane's Millionaire Training Camp. To spend three days surrounded only by others seeking and living the millionaire mentality was incredible. It was inspirational, empowering, fostered limitless creative thinking, and was just plain fun. If I had the opportunity to live with those people in that environment for a year, I'd make almost any sacrifice to do it.
The reality is that because the millionaire mentality is found in only 3% of people, at most, you aren't going to be surrounded by them every day all day in most cases. But while you search to find millionaire mentality people to partner with locally, remember that you can surround yourself with the right people by reading the right books, listening to personal growth and development programs in your car, in your bed, while you do the housework. As you get into your journey, you will meet people online and at seminars that can provide terrific support and friendship opportunities.
So let's get started. Take an honest look at who you're spending your time with. Make some hard adjustments -- step out of your comfort zone -- and get to work on filling as much of your day as possible with those who have, or desire, a millionaire mentality. Once you do this, you're 90% of the way to home based business success.
