Is there really some hidden secret to creating wealth and becoming super rich? There is a saying in the local parlance that says
If they tell some people what it takes to be rich, they will prefer to remain poor.But the truth is that what it takes to be rich is an open secret staring at each and every one of us and the entity of this blog is about bringing us to that realization. As we have always said; being poor or rich is not a function of the amount of money you have in your possession or the lack of it. Poverty or wealth is the function of;
The mindset of an individual towards
money is vital to whether he/she will be rich or poor. Everything begins and ends in the mind. The mindset of the lion is what makes it the
king of the jungle, not its strength or speed.
So are we as humans, our mindset is what birth and guides both our actions and
outcomes. What makes each and every one
of us who we are is our individual mindsets.
A person’s
mindset is the collection of predetermined notions, ideas, or beliefs that are developed
based on environmental influences and it could also be picked from personal
experience, media influence, and educational background. In other words, your perspective on money
and wealth is your mindset. Your mindset informs your thoughts
and decisions, and consequently your actions or inaction.
A poverty mindset is a set of attitudes or beliefs, a method of thinking that is said
to perpetuate poverty by focusing on things that demoralize and sap them of any
form of making ideas and initiative that can make them rich. How do you know you have a poverty mindset? if
you are always saying things like; “I can't afford it” instead of “How can I afford it?”,
“God will provide” when you are doing nothing that will be a channel through
which God will provide. Or do you say to yourself any time you make some money;
“let me eat and make merry after all this live ‘nah’ only once” instead of making investments for your future, "Rich
people are bad people”, “I am poor because am honest”, “I will never have
enough money for this or that". Some even quote the holy book wrongly by saying “Money is the root of all evil”. Whether you are thinking it or saying it, it doesn’t
matter but the fact remains that our thoughts and confessions always turn out
to be our self-fulfilling prophecies. The good
book says “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…”
One distinguishing mindset that sets the rich apart from the poor is that whereas the latter dream of becoming rich someday, travelling around the world, and living the good life, the rich don’t just dream, the rich set goals. What is the difference you may ask? I would like to hear what you think in the comment section below.
In the book: Why We Want You To Be Rich by Donald
Trump & Robert Kiyosaki. Robert
narrated the lesson he learned from Archbishop Vernon Ashe's sermon and said thus;
“Every goal has a process”
The statement from the bishop is profound and
really the crux of this post today. The
poor dream of becoming rich without any process or plans put in place towards
the actualization of the dream thus it remains a daydream and nothing
more. It is not uncommon to see people
talk big with a lot of enthusiasm. The
problem with that is that they do nothing other than talk. No commiserate action. Many will go to the grave with their dreams
intact not because the dreams were not achievable but because the dream bearers
did nothing about it.
Robert went on to explain, “As he spoke I began
to realize why so many people who have dreams fail to have their dreams come
true. The reason is most people have
dreams but do not focus on the process necessary to achieve their dreams. For example, many people want to lose
weight. But what gets in their way of achieving
their goal is the process of change in diet and exercise. So instead of achieving their goal, their
dream of a healthier, more attractive body remains a dream”.
In other words, the difference between a dream and a goal is the process. The process of actualization of the dream is the goal and that is what makes all the difference. The process towards attainment of the goals set. It is said that a reporter once asked Henry Ford what he would do should he lose his billion-dollar fortune and he replied, “I’d have it back in less than five years”. That is only possible for those who had gone through the process to amass their wealth, not those who stumbled into money by inheritance or wins from lottery and sports betting or some strokes of luck, or by becoming a politician I must add there. Yes! If you are in Nigeria where I am from you will know that Nigeria's political space is the biggest industry in the country and its players are the highest earners. Moving on; those who found their secret formula are not afraid because they can always replicate the process. Knowledge is everything.
The Advanced English Dictionary defines a goal as “the
state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve…” In other words, a goal can
be said to be the representation of a dream, desire, or objective that you
would like to achieve or a height you want to attend in the future. Personal goal setting is taking proactive steps
necessary to achieve your dream. For
example, if your goal is to become a millionaire at the end of 2023, you might want
to write down the steps necessary to realize that dream and objective, which
might include studying and acquiring money-making and management skills,
getting a mentor, delivering value and solution.
Different research findings and experiences as
well have shown a direct correlation between personal goals and individual success.
A goal has a way of helping an
individual or organization to induce new behaviours and actions towards the desired outcome. According to Tony Robbins, “Setting goals is the first step in
turning the invisible into the visible.”
Goals
help you to plan for the life you want to live and it also motivates you to take
action as such the importance of goal setting cannot be overstated. Every rich and successful businessperson, athlete,
influencer, and achiever you see and want to be like all achieve their success
through proper planning and goal setting. Setting goals helps you make your
mistakes on paper, gives you long-term vision and proper perspective as well as keeps you motivated. Setting well-planned and clearly
defined goals helps you measure your progress and you take pride in the
achievement of the goals you set out to achieve. By setting and pursuing your
goals you can stay focused and avoid unnecessary procrastination. Setting and accomplishing your goals help you
recognize your ability and competence and consequently raise your self-confidence.
Goals let you identify and write down your objective, skill, and
sequence of actions needed towards the accomplishment and reaching your end
goal.
The greater
majority of all those who will read this post (if not 100% of the people) have
set goals in the past. An example of the
goal I know you have set before is called New Year Resolutions. That being said let me ask you; where is the one
you set on the 1st of January this year? What has become of it? Why wasn’t
it achieved? The reason those resolutions are hardly achieved is that they
are not SMART. The rich set and achieve
their goals because they set SMART Goals
The way
to set goals if you want to achieve them is to make them SMART SMART stands for:
S –
Specific: as it is Significant
M –
Measurable: as it is meaningfully in sync with what you want to achieve at the end
of the day
A – Achievable:
Action-Oriented that is to say that the goal must have an action plan
R – Realistic:
as it is Relevant and a promise of a great reward.
T –
Timely: as it is Trackable.
Goal setting is the secret of wealth creation. A measurable and achievable goal will help you plan and achieve your goal of becoming a millionaire. The truth is that becoming rich is simpler than we thought and it’s not complicated at all. To succeed in anything, you must set goals and plan toward the actualization of your dreams and desires. Now is the time to begin setting SMART goals that are effective because goals energize and motivate your ambition and help you achieve tangible and mega results. Great goals involve setting and creating little milestones per time for yourself and developing strategies to help you focus and achieve your goal of becoming rich by 31st December this year. Remember if the goal is not written down it will remain just a wish and at best a dream. See You At The Top
