3. Work Smart, Not Hard.
Millionaires tend to work smarter - not harder. Don’t get me wrong, they are still prone to 16 hour days, etc., but they use their time much more effectively. They have a better plan for making money. And if they are going to work 16 hours a day, the fruit of their labor will be their own. They will not necessarily make money for someone else any more. Here are a couple of smart strategies - Invest in real estate; let your money make money; invest in discount notes; manage your ROI for the highest possible returns; and copy someone else’s (like a Mentor) success.
4. The Quick and the Dead.
One of the major factors in creating millionaires is action. While you are thinking about this right now, someone else is taking action. Taking control of their credit. Starting a real estate investment business. Buying their first home or another investment property. Cutting their taxes by 50%. Don’t be caught up in paralysis by analysis. Don’t analyze to death. Make a judgment and take fast action. Do it NOW!
5. Take Emotions Out of Decisions.
We are taught in our culture to weigh both sides of a decision. Good advice. The problem is most people get caught up in the weighing, searching for one more piece of information. Should we, shouldn’t we. By the time we decide, the opportunity is gone. Most people are held back by a simple human emotion - FEAR. Fear of loss. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Let me suggest to you that FEAR alone is holding you back. It is costing you financially and emotionally. Millionaires learn to conquer fear. To push past it. To simply look at 3 things. First, the investment. Second, the return. Third, the probability of success (has it ever been done before?). If it has a good R.O.I. - just go for it! Scott Zuckman
