More Think and Grow Rich Thoughts

My first three parts to this series were hopefully inspiring to you as a business owner or one who is thinking about making money at home. I do want to note an interesting paragraph in the book since it’s food for thought. The excerpt from the book highlights a philosophy that no longer is applicable to our generation, it would seem.  Here is a serious stumbling block should you not check the opposite thinking:

The successful application of these steps calls for sufficient imagination to enable one to see and to understand the accumulation of money can not be left up to chance, good fortune and luck. One must realize all who have accumulated great fortunes first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, desiring, and planning before they acquired money.

I think at the turn of the century it went without saying that when you planned you acted on those plans.

I see a trend with people when it comes to making money especially online. Lots of people think that successful people are either gifted or very lucky people. The thinking goes something like this, you have to be talented or have some inside charisma or special abilities to make real good money. Further, yes, the successful person can go to school and learn some of the skill set required to make lots of money but there is an element of fortune as in luck, beauty or charisma one must have to be on the track to success or to have arrived at success already. Many people believe this to be true for others and it works nicely for them if they happen to be one of the many who are not blessed with good fortune, looks, or charisma. It’s an excuse where the excuse maker can take no responsibility for their lack of success. After all, they’re not blessed with such attributes so they have no reason to pursue the dream of success. I believe the myth is perpetuated by our media in giving us half truths when not pulling the curtain back to reveal the fact that several multi-millionaires have gone bankrupt not only once but twice in their lifetimes. Some of our educational institutions perpetuate this wrong philosophy by not teaching people what hard work is or the character it takes to work hard towards a goal.

Let’s debunk that wrong thinking right now.

Remember that all who succeed in life got off to a bad start, and pass by many heartbreaking struggles before they “arrive”.

There you have it. Did you read the word all? Not a one of the people who have been or are successful in business and life have arrived on a bed of flowery ease.

To Your Hard Earned Success!
