Read that sentence again.. Ready? This is a statement that holds many people back from acheiving great wealth and a great lifestyle. I know it was one of my personal issues for many years. Confused? Well I will take this space to explain it in great detail so you don’t let a zero or two stop you from what you are capable of accomplishing.
It all starts with your current point of reference. In other words where you are in life. So for example – As i was growing up we were barely holding on to middle class.. Likely to slip at anytime. To me 100,000 dollars was as out of reach as 1,000,000.
As I grew my mortgage business, started investing in self storage and investment properties and grew information marketing businesses my point of reference has been able to change to 1,000,000 being a totally resaonable and attainable figure. Now I am going on to start thinking about 10,000.000 dollars and making sure my self image is compatible with those ZERO’S.
Funny story here- This was all brought to my attention by two brothers who are multi- millionaires. Both friends. Both retired before the age of 40 with no need to ever work another day in their lives.
One brother made his fortune in the direct marketing business which he built to millions of dollars and sold with enough money to permanently retire. The other brother started with residential properties than graduated to apartments and shopping centers. He then went on to build a luxury apartment building that was purchased for many millions more than it cost him to build. He too is retired and a multi millionaire before 40.
What each of them told me on separate occassions and while discussing different businesses was that “IT IS ONLY A ZERO-DON”T BE AN IDIOT BRIAN”
The real estate brother said while you are killing yourself with those single homes and tennants I will only look at deals that can generate millions. It is the same effort.
The other brother who is the information marketer told me that while I was happy making hundreds of thousands to 1 or 2 million in niches – he would only consider opportunities that provided 5-10 million dollars. He told me it was the same effort so why not go for the bigger payoff.
THEY WERE BOTH RIGHT …. AND WRONG
They were right in the fact that the only thing holding you and me back from “the big money” is ourselves and our fears of JUST ANOTHER ZERO.
However they were both wrong when they told be it was just as easy .. In realtiy as I have made my own transition ( mentally) from 100,000 to 1-2 million to tens of millions I have found that is actually not just as easy but easier..
BOTTOM LINE: STOP LETTING THE ZERO’S GET IN THE WAY— THEY ARE AFTER ALL ONLY DIGITS.
