In my study of the habits of millionaires, I discovered that your beliefs determine the circumstances of your life. Millionaire minds who have created wealth have different beliefs than those who have not.
Beliefs represent acceptance of something without the need for proof. They are inherited unconscious programming. We adopt the beliefs of our parents, family, mentors or our environment (neighborhood, city and country). Most people who grew up poor inherited limited beliefs that hold them back in life.
Millionaire minds who grow poor and build wealth over time find mentors who hold success beliefs or employ certain strategies that enable them to remove those limitations and replace them with success thoughts. They effectively reprogram your entire belief system.
Millionaire minds adopt certain beliefs that promote their success:
- Time is the most valuable resource. I must make efficient use of it. Wasting it is a crime.
- Birds of a feather flock together. I will avoid toxic people.
- Dreams and goals are the rungs of the ladder of success.
- If I help others to be successful, I will be successful.
- If I improve the lives of others, my life will improve.
- He always exceeds the expectations of others.
- I am in control of my thoughts and emotions.
- Never give up on a dream.
- Success takes time.
- I must save more than I spend and invest that money in my dreams and goals.
- I am amazing and unstoppable.
If you want to succeed like millionaire minds, you must understand the beliefs you currently hold. For a week write down every belief that comes to mind. This belief exercise allows you to isolate any limitations that are holding you back. When you identify those negative beliefs, it’s time to eliminate them and incorporate those that will make you succeed.
How do you eliminate negative beliefs and replace them with success beliefs?
- Associate with people who have the success beliefs you want to embrace.
- Read books and articles about successful people.
- Listen to inspiring podcasts.
- Watch and listen to TEDx talks.
- Create daily affirmations around the success beliefs you want to adopt.
- Meditate and focus on your new beliefs (10-15 min is all you need)
Your current beliefs have been formed over the years, so it will take time to reprogram yourself. How long? At least 1 year of dedication and effort. However, that one year of investment will pay its dividends for the rest of your life. Your future will thank you.
