W
hat you are about to learn can change your life.
These ideas, insights, and strategies have been
the springboards to financial success for millions of
men and women, young and old, rich and poor. These
principles are simple, effective, and fairly easy to
apply. They have been tested and proven over and
over again, and they will work for you if you will take
them and apply them in your own life.
We are living at the greatest time in all of human
history. More people are becoming wealthy today,
starting from nothing, than ever before imagined.
There are more than seven million millionaires in
America, most of them self-made, and the number is
growing by 15 to 20 percent each year. We even have
self-made ten millionaires, hundred millionaires, and
more than two hundred billionaires. We have never
seen this type of rapid wealth creation in all of
human history.
Here’s the best news of all. Virtually everyone starts with nothing. More than 90 percent of all financially successful people today started off broke or
nearly broke. The average self-made millionaire has
been bankrupt or nearly bankrupt 3.2 times. Most
wealthy people failed many times before they finally
found the right opportunity that they were able to
leverage into financial success. And what hundreds of
thousands and millions of other people have done,
you can do as well.
The iron law of human destiny is the Law of Cause
and Effect. This law is simple yet very powerful. It
says that there is a specific effect for every cause. For
every action, there is a reaction. This law says that
success is not an accident. Financial success is the result of doing certain, specific things over and over
again until you achieve the financial independence
that you desire.
Nature is neutral. The natural world, the marketplace, or our society does not care who you are or
what you are. The Law of Cause and Effect says that if
you do what other successful people do, you will eventually get the results that other successful people get.
And if you don’t, you won’t. This law says that
when you learn the success secrets of self-made millionaires and apply them in your own life, you will experience results and rewards far beyond anything you
have accomplished up until now.
Here is an important point for you to remember.
Nobody is better than you and nobody is smarter han you. Let me repeat that. Nobody is better than
you and nobody is smarter than you. Get those
thoughts out of your mind. One of the primary reasons
for selling yourself short, for underachievement and
lack of financial success, is the conviction that people
who are doing better than you are better than you.
This is simply not the case.
The fact is that most self-made millionaires are
ordinary people with average educations working at
average jobs and living in average neighborhoods in
average houses driving average cars. But they have
found out what other financially successful people do
and they have done those same things over and over
again until they achieved the same results. It is no
miracle and it is no accident. And when you think the
same thoughts and do the same things that self-made
millionaires do, you will begin to get the same results
and benefits they do. It is simply a matter of cause
and effect.
There are 21 success secrets of self-made millionaires. Each of these is indispensable to your becoming
financially independent. The failure to apply any one
of these principles can, by itself, undermine and even
destroy your chances for health, happiness, and great
prosperity.
The good news is that you can learn every one of
these principles by practice and repetition, over and
over again, until they become as natural to you as
breathing in and breathing out. Just as you learn ride a bicycle or drive a car, you can learn the success
secrets of self-made millionaires and apply them in
your life. And there are no limits except the limits
you place on yourself by your own thinking. Now, let
us begin.
