T Harv Eker: From the Inside Out: Success in Business Begins Within Pt.2
While I can’t possibly cover all my Wealth Files in this article, I’ve collected a few that I feel are the most crucial in business today.
Wealth file #1
Rich people believe “I create my life.”
Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”
If you’re going to be the next Wall Street success story or even just the retail king or queen in your city, it is imperative you understand that you control everything that occurs in your business. Everything. AC breaks? Your fault. High sales this month? You did it. Marketing campaign not working? Your fault. You need to truly believe that it is you and only you that can create your success, mediocrity or failure. If you don’t believe you are the creator of your life, you will be unable to create the success you desire.
What are some signs that you are stuck in the “life happens to me” trap?
Blame is one. Stop trying to blame other people or external events for your failure. Take responsibility, learn from errors, and make opportunities from problems.
Another sign is justification. “Money’s not that important”. “I have enough to survive”. “I have priorities other than money”. Actually, money is extremely important and you need to have that attitude. Think about it. If you told your spouse they weren’t important, would they hang around long? No. So, if the present isn’t moving towards your dreams, then things aren’t okay. Don’t justify them.
Finally we have complaining. Complaining makes you a problem magnet, plain and simple. Stop talking about past negatives, and start planning future positives.
To conclude this file, just remember this. You are the one in control. No one, and nothing else has that power.
Wealth File #11
Poor people choose to get paid on time.
Rich people choose to get paid on results.
This one is simple. The myth of the steady paycheck being a road to wealth is simply untrue. In business, riches nearly always stem from risk. And risk is willing to get paid on results. A percentage based income has potential to be huge, whereas a time based income has a ceiling. Running your own business is a good start, but you need to always be thinking of ways you can be paid in a way that has the potential to skyrocket.
Wealth file # 17
Rich people constantly learn and grow
Poor people think they already know
“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.”
That’s a great quote from author Jim Rohn. Basically the concept here is that you need to be committed to being a life-long learner. If your way of doing things was the key to success, than you would be writing this article, and others would read it. That being said, even as a multimillionaire, I’m constantly looking for even the tiniest new piece of information that can improve the way I do business. So read a book, take a course, join a networking group or just talk with your peers about their approaches to business challenges. You’ll be amazed at the power and freedom that come with being an open receptacle for the knowledge and experience of others.
Those are just a few of the files that I’ve identified as important to every business person. Some of them seem so obvious, but most of us simply don’t follow them. It takes a conscious effort to work on building yourself and improving the way you think in order to achieve your goals.
After all, the best investment you can ever make in your business is you.
