Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind
February 8, 2010 by Renee
I have been talking about “What is Wealth” before and today I want to talk about the first step to reach any kind of wealth, to become a millionaire in any field you wish. I want to talk about the secrets of the millionaire mind.
What is the millionaire mind?
You might think that the millionaire mind is the mind of a person who has one million dollars in the bank. Wrong.
A lot of us think that you first have to be a millionaire to think like one, but one of the secrets of the millionaire mind is that it’s exactly the other way round.
If you want to become a millionaire you have to start thinking like one. You have to have a millionaire mind.
A millionaire mind has little, if nothing, to do with the actual amount of money you have in the bank. It has all to do with your mindset. It is a mindset of abundance in all areas. A mindset of fulfilment and joy. A mindset of creativity, sharing and interaction.
It may add a million dollars to your bank account, but that’s not the point.
How to have a millionaire mind
It is up to you if you have the mindset of millionaire or not. You can set your mind, you can change your habits and if you really want to achieve it it’s yours.
A millionaire mindset is not a secret. It’s not difficult to attain also. It’s within your reach. I will describe what I have found helps me on my journey of self improvement, to having that millionaire mind.
Secrets of the millionaire mind #1 – Believe that you deserve it
If you don’t believe that you deserve what you want, you will overlook untold opportunities. If you don’t believe you deserve what you want, you will sabotage your own efforts.
If you want to attract wealth but don’t believe you deserve it, it’s like driving a car pressing both the gas and the brake at the same time. It doesn’t work.
Secrets of the millionaire mind #2 – Visualize your target
But don’t stop with just seeing it – feel it, smell it, hear it. Use all the sensations and imagine in 3D yourself having reached your goal.
For example see yourself making lots of money (or whatever the definition of wealth is for you). What do you see? Hear? Smell? Touch?
People who understand the secrets of the millionaire mind know exactly how it feels reaching their goal, and they imagine themselves there more often than not. Sometimes it is called Daydreaming, but I think it is re-affirming what you will achieve, so your whole personality is focused on that goal.
Secrets of the millionaire mind #3 – Think in opportunities
Whenever something is not working the way you want or think it should be you have a choice. Look at is as a disaster or as an opportunity. Searching for the opportunity makes you take an active part in your life. If you concentrate on the problem you decide to be a victim and passive.
I always loved Mr. Spock’s reaction to anything that didn’t go to plan or nobody knew what to do. He never said “What should we do” or “what a disaster”, he just said “Interesting”. He always saw new things as an opportunity. And the minimum you can do with any situation that doesn’t go to plan is take it as an opportunity to learn something.
What do you think?
Does this make any sense to you or am I talking nonsens? I have a few more points on my list that I will share with you next week, but for the time being I would love to get some feedback on what you think are the secrets of the millionaire mind.

It’s funny you should write about “Think in Opportunities” because “opportunity” has been my buzz word lately. I think having a millionaire mindset is also about being able to see opportunities. You can do this when you’re open to possibilities, open to new ways of thinking and open to being wrong about something. I love it.

Hi Renee,
So true that we can all use our minds. You don’t have to buy that sort of positivity and it can change your life.
This article is a great reminder.
Regards, Eileen.

Food for thought, indeed. Or should I say, “interesting”. How do you measure whether someone is 100% successful in attaining a millionaire mindset?

Good question
I think there is no absolute measurement, but the happier you are with yourself and your life I think the closer you are to the millionaire mindset.

Hi John,
that’s right, our mind is so powerful so to have it working for us in a positive manner (a millionaire mind) is really important.
I think one secret of a millionaire is to Think Bigger.
It goes in hand with #3 Think In Opportunities. But what can one do to take those opportunities and leverage them for more. What can be done to turn ideas into better ideas?

Hi Leisa,
you are right there. Thinking in opportunities and thinking really big are secrets of the millionaire mind. Not really secrets anymore now
Hi Renee,
Was just thinking about being a millionaire!! Yeah we all dream that dream somewhere in our lifetime. I think the success of it comes down to the happier we are to have that positive thinking and to achieve it.
Cheers

Hello Rose,
I agree, positive thinking is the start and the happier we are the easier we can achieve our dreams. And it is in our hands to act and achieve what we want.
Cheers, Renee
