Every Saturday I receive a newsletter from Dr. Jill Wexler on millionaire mindpower, http://www.landonyourfeetezine.com, and it is always interesting. Today she talks about a recent Merrill Lynch report which revealed that 600,000 new millionaires were created in '07, for a total of 10.1 million worldwide. That's 1,648 new millionaires each day, or sixty nine new millionaires every hour.

She goes on to say, "Now ... ten million might seem like a large number, but this is actually less than one-fifth of 1 percent of the world's population. So ... how do people actually manage to become a millionaire?  Consider the below research-based facts: 

    1.    Fewer than 1% become a millionaire by winning a lottery or lawsuit, or as an elite athlete or entertainer.

    2.    Interviews have revealed that 80% of the people around the world that become a millionaire have little or no college education. But they have obviously done something special -- build millionaire mind power.

    3.    One interesting report claims that 5,000,000 of those who managed to become a millionaire between 1992 and 2000 just took something they naturally enjoy, and focused four or more hours per week finding a way to get rich for doing it.

Can you imagine? It is being estimated that by the end of this year another 700,000 or more people will become a millionaire -- regardless, or maybe because of, our challenging financial times.

"That means that TODAY 1,923 people will become a millionaire.  And about half of them will do this JUST because they selected a natural passion or interest, and focused four or more hours per week finding a way to get rich for doing it. In short, they have taken action to build millionaire mind power and put it into action!

"So ... if you're not one of these new millionaires, let's consider how you might BECOME one of them. Assuming you are not about to win the lottery or get an inheritance from your Great Aunt Betty, how can you get yourself in gear to actually become a millionaire?

"The first thing to face up to is this: If you had the focused mindpower of a millionaire, you would have already become a millionaire. This is not meant to insult you, but just to create a jumping off point for what follows.

"The level of mental focus present in those with millionaire mind power permits the millionaire (or millionaire to-be) to cut through the constant chatter of our human minds and do something very important - make a decision.

"This is the starting point! If you truly want to become a millionaire, start by making a decision to COMMIT yourself to actually achieve your dream. Do it today, and you have taken your first step to build millionaire mind power!

"This is the first in a series of free articles providing insight on how you can build millionaire mind power, and actually BECOME a millionaire. Watch for this insightful free millionaire mindpower article series."

Today's article by Michael Josephson relates to EXCUSES. It caught my attention because of a few events regarding excuses that occurred recently while  working with some people who couldn't seem to move ahead, let alone even begin to entertain the idea of being a millionaire.

Excuses are easy to find, and lots were offered: someone was unfair to them, they were too busy, they had to put off . . . -- almost like "my dog ate my homework" except they believed what they were telling themselves--lots and lots of excuses. We all have them, and they get us off the hook if we haven't fulfilled our own expectations.

Excuses are fine and frequently helpful, but if they are impeding our progress, we have to make a conscious effort to take more responsibility for what's happening or not happening in our lives.

While we can't help what happens to us, we can always control how we will react.

Happy, Happy,

Feature Article:      THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE


by Gail Cassidy
I also subscribe (free) to Joe Vitale's daily newsletter entitled "Insight of the Day." Each issue has information of value, especially his Friday's story, which I'm sharing with you today as it relates to EXCUSES and how to avoid them.

Curing Victimitis

Watch your thoughts; they lead to attitudes.
Watch your attitudes; they lead to words.
Watch your words; they lead to actions.
Watch your actions; they lead to habits.
Watch your habits; they form your character.
Watch your character; it determines your destiny.

OUR POWER TO CHOOSE

These words of unknown origin tell us that our silent and often subconscious choices shape our future. Every aspect of our lives, at home and at work, can be improved if we use our power to think, reflect, and make conscious choices about our thoughts, attitudes, words, actions, and habits.

COMPLAINING AND BLAMING

Instead, many of us think of ourselves as victims. We complain about our circumstances and what others did to us. Whatever psychological comfort there is in feeling powerless and blameless when things aren't going right, in the end, victims lead unsatisfied lives.

AFFECT OF EMOTIONS

We're most vulnerable to victimitis when we're under the influence of powerful emotions like fear, insecurity, anger, frustration, grief, or depression. These feelings are so powerful, we believe our state of mind is inevitable. Our only hope is they will go away on their own. Yet it's during times of emotional tumult that using our power to choose our thoughts and attitudes is most important. We can't make pain go away, but we can refuse to suffer.

WE CAN CHOOSE TO TAKE CONTROL

Even when we don't like any of our choices, we do have some -- once we realize we can take control. It isn't easy, but what we do and how we choose to feel about ourselves has a profound impact on the quality of our lives. Victims may get sympathy for a while, but that isn't enough.

Taking personal responsibility for our happiness and success can be scary, but the payoff is enormous. Although we can't make our lives perfect, we can make them better -- usually a lot better.

Quote of the Day

"The more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you'll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality."  -Wayne Dyer
