How to become a millionaire
Fri, Apr 11, 2008
1. First decide that you intend to become a millionaire. Note here that you are deciding you intend to become a millionaire, not that you want to become a millionaire. There’s a difference between wanting something to happen and intending for something to happen. A want is just a desire which will not necessarily be accompanied by any action that is designed to see that your desire is fulfilled. An intention is a willful consciousness, or conscious willfulness if you prefer, to make something happen. So the first step in becoming in a millionaire is to decide that you intend to become one.
2. Now that you have declared your intention you need to make a list of as many possible ways as you can think of for a person to become a millionaire. Some possibilities:
1. Become a highly paid actor/actress

- Brad Pitt

This is just a small list of examples. The point here is that you need some concrete ideas for how to become a millionaire. You can’t just decide you intend to become a millionaire but have no idea how you’re going to do it. You need to do a little research. Compile a list of existing millionaires. Make the list as long as you dare; then study the list to find common themes. How did the current world millionaires become millionaires? There are significantly more millionaires in the world today than in times past, but there are still significantly fewer millionaires in the world than there are middle income, low income and poor people. So it would seem to suggest that these people do something differently. You need to find out what it is that they do differently because in all likelihood you’re going to need to do the same in order to fulfill your intention.
3. So you’ve declared your intention, and you’ve made your list. Now decide what you have the capability of doing, not just as far as having the skills but also having the means.
4. Declare that you intend to become a millionaire doing whatever it is you have decided you have the skill and the means to do.
5. Make a list of steps you need to take in order to do what you have decided you will do to become a millionaire. There’s always a way to do something. Make a plan. Outline a series of steps to follow that will take you from the starting point to the finish line.
6. Begin the process of following the steps you have outlined.
If you have designed a concrete plan and you stick with it, even when the going gets tough, you will fulfill your intention because an intention is not a hope or a wish. An intention is a solid determination to do something. If you intend it, like the Nike slogan says, just do it.
