Starting the Millionaire Journey

Does this sound familiar?

Living paycheck to paycheck with no real hope in sight of digging a way out.You have enormous school loans, a mortgage, and credit card debt. Or

perhaps its worse yet, you borrow your kid's lawn mowing and babysitting

money promising to pay them back next payday.

So how in the world are you ever going to pull out from this deep financialhole. What you need is real answers not just the I shoulda, the I coulda, and

the if I only woulda junk that does nothing for acquiring wealth.



6/43


Now keep in mind I probably don't know what I am talking about eitherbecause I am not a millionaire. I am also not a get rich quick guru.

However, I am a living, breathing human being who has made my fair share

of mistakes, just as I am sure you have.

My purpose is to help you overcome your own challenges by helping you

asking better questions. In other words help and encourage you to seek

the truth. I also want to inspire you to take action on your own good ideas

and break free of the things that are keeping you from being who you really

are.

To demonstrate here are some common answers to the lack of money

question. Keep in mind they are common and with that said they probably

don't work well at all.



7/43


1. Get a second job(Short term only if you can, this will not work long term,you need to rest too.)

2. Claim bankruptcy(If I where you I would start a big corporation borrow

lots of money then claim bankruptcy. You would have more rights than a

consumer.)

3. Go back to school to defer student loans( Oh ya, this is a good one

and the universities know it especially the on-line ones. You barrow more

to not pay now, this is sick!)

4. Work out an arrangement with your creditors(Simple answer here. All

they want is their money. So how are you gonna pay them more of what

you don't have.)

5. Win the lottery(So how is this working for you so far? Same as it has for

lots of others. Its not impossible but more like improbable)



8/43


6. Wait for the rapture(I understand this but I think the logic is

fundamentally flawed with respect to being a good steward.)

7. Give it up to God(Admit it, you have done this haven't you? However, in

order for this to work it requires a complete surrender. This is not a quick

answer but it is a solid one providing you are willing. God can do someamazing things in your life if you let him.)

The real jest about these common answers happens to be that they are

common. What I am trying to convey is that you cant think commonly

about how to answer your money questions.

Logic would tell you that if you use common solutions to solve your

problems then you will most likely derive at common results.



9/43


Now dont get me wrong I listed number 7 only because it is used as anexcuse more than a practice. It is, however, not common in practice.

On the contrary I have a couple of friends who are largely successful

financially, and neither of them thinks about money from a common

perspective. For the most they recognize how living their life has everythingto do with their finances.

Their responsibilities to living a well balanced life are at the top of their

priority list. From mental to physical, spiritual, and financial they place

importance on balancing their life.



10/43


Here is the bottom line on solving your financial woes; Find out the truth of your financial challenges

Believe in God to guide you toward solving these challenges.

Seek the wisdom of those who have been on the same road you're

on and have succeeded.

Place your expectations on enjoying your journey, learning new skills,

and achieving the freedom you seek.

Absolutely get your mind clear about tithing. You will be amazed why

this is so important.

Can you dare to think uncommonly? Can you dare to dream big? Are you

willing to seek God's plan for your life?



11/43


My hope is that you would continue to seek answers, the right answers foryou in your life and in your personal endeavors. In this, I want to persuade

you to think for yourself while motivating you to get a start on fulfilling your

dreams instead of just planning what you will never do.



12/43


Success In Progress

Take care of business while you are on your way to wealth. In reality if you

are horrible about managing your money now, then you will be horrible at

it when you have more. Honestly, there is no need to beat your self up on

this. All you need is to learn how to stop spending more than you make.

What about all the bills? School loans, medical, etc..? Advise: If you are so

buried in financial debt that you'll never see the light of day then get down

on your knees, drop everything your doing and pray for God to come in to

every area of your life, to guide all your actions and to restore your mindbody, soul and spirit from the brokenness and damage in your life. When

you pray, believe in your heart that you are already being restored by God's

love for you. Now that you have prayed tell someone you know and respect

about what you are believing in God for.



13/43


In my personal opinion everyone has to get over their unique set of moneycircumstances. Money isn't what you think it is. When you hoard it, it

consumes you. When you release it, it rewards you. When you use it right

it offers value. When you blow it, it is gone.

Most people simply say they need more money. True, their right, but notfor the reason you might think.

Some simple areas to figure out are;

1. What are you wasting money on?( You already know what this is

because it serves no purpose but you are willing to keep doing it because

you fill it is who you are. Keyword to remember: Habits)

2. What are my core financial responsibilities?(Housing, transportation,

food, giving)



14/43


3. Where could I make a significant difference in managing my money

better?(What are you going to do to improve your perspective? You

better say education is the first thing your going to do. Really this means

you need to read, learn, and practice disciplines that will help you. You

won't see results overnight but you will find your new habits toward

money will start to leverage in your favor over time.)

4. Have I given God the glory and worshiped Him with my tithe? (All

money everywhere is all God's money. He not only owns the 10% you offer

but the 90% you keep for yourself. In the snap of a finger he could take it

all away from you no matter how much you give or don't)



15/43


Think Dreams! Do it Now

I believe you can change our own circumstances through a healthy balance

of creative thinking and dreaming big. With this, there is no limit to what

you can do if you first dream it, and then act upon it.

There are countless stories to recall where someones idea, (aka. big

dream), was first defined by a thought and then acted upon.

At the top of your action list should be your personal answer to one veryimportant question. This question will govern weather if your dream is

really worth doing. Answer it honestly and you will know your next step.



16/43


The question is: Why?

If you can find the reason why within your heart to follow your dream you

can build your road map to achieving it. If you really understand what this

means you will see why it is so important and your top priority.

Open it up like this;

How does your dream serve the needs of others?

How does your dream improve the lives of others?

Can you commit your life's work, prayers, sweat, and tears to it?

The value of answering these questions goes far beyond the riches to be

earned. If you do nothing else you must attempt to answer these questions

for your own personal clarity.



17/43


So the real quest here is to lead you to find your purpose in life and it is anabsolute must if you want to succeed. It sounds silly yet it is the most

important thing you could do. Building a dream road map requires a life

purpose to consciously guide you in the right direction for its achievement.

When others recognize your worth while purpose they are urged to join thejourney with you. This is a key to success because it often takes everything

you don't have to achieve it.

Managing the synergy of those who are then captivated by this purpose,

and who are willing to embrace it with you is your leading how-to question.

Here is the absolute truth on this subject; We all have failed at this and we

will continue to fail until we learn how to be the human beings that God

intended us to be.



18/43


The reason why we fail is because we want to claim ownership to the Godgiven purpose that He has laid upon our heart. We also feel that it is totally

up to us to accomplish it.

In contrast, our creator has provided us our purpose and all the means for

its attainment. Therefore we would be ignorant not to understand ourpurpose is all about what we can do for others under God's design.

If this is true, and it is, then seeking the makers plan for our life would be in

our better interest. Your heart knows this to be true or you would have

already stopped reading.

The question is: How do I know that my dream is of God's design?



19/43


And the answer is: You will never know unless you start the journey.

Let me explain. Imagine a rudder of a boat that is set in motion. The path is

determined by the one who is steering it. Most of us either want to put the

boat in motion or steer but it is Gods plan for us to put the boat in motion

and steer.

Our selfish desires make us believe we can find the answers without being

set in motion or steering. In contrast, our journey is the single most

important factor to our success. True joy follows where we have steered in

God's will while anguish follows where we have strayed out of God's Will.

So, both joy and anguish serve to guide us in our journey. In summary God's

design is for us to begin the journey and steer the best coarse we know all

the while reaching out and seeking His blessings.

Favoring Success

A few years ago I was doing odd jobs to support my family. After loosing my

job and having narrow employment opportunities I resorted to mowing

lawns, gardening, and doing handy man work. Initially, I had a few hand

tools, a truck, and the willingness to do whatever work I could find to putfood on the table and keep a roof over our heads. At the time I was down

to my last twenty dollars and I decided to advertise in a weekly newspaper.

The ad cost about nine dollars and the rest of the money I used to put gas

in my truck and a small gas container for my mower.

A few days later I received a phone call from a man needing to have his

lawn mowed. I went to see him at his house to look over his lawn and give

him an estimate of what I would charge for mowing it. Before I got out of

the truck to knocked on his door I stopped to thank the Lord for my first



21/43


customer. I also prayed that the Lord would help me to do my very best atthe job I was about to do and to offer a fair price for the work.

After talking with man and walking through the yard the man asked me

what I would charge. It was a small lawn so I told him fifteen dollars.

Great, can you mow it now and every week through the summer?, hesaid. Yes, sir, I said with enthusiasm.

While I was mowing his lawn I continued to pray to the Lord that if this was

the only job I received then I was thankful and I would do everything to

serve him and honor him in it. I must have been talking to God on amegaphone because he definitely heard my prayers.



22/43


After I was done the man came out of his house to pay me. Good job Russ,I like your work. What would you charge to help me seal my driveway and

do some odd jobs around the house?, he said.

I told him told him fifteen dollars a hour and if your not completely satisfied

with my work then I would be happy to settle at a fair price. I think Ishocked him because I took the bargaining process completely out of the

conversation.

The fact of the matter was that I was prepared to do it for free and to work

in good favor.

From this one customer I received many new customers by word of mouth.

For three years I stayed busy building this business and I never had to

advertise again.



23/43


When I would get low on funds I would ask God for more work and call up

my customers and ask them if there was anything I could do for them or if

they knew anyone who needed to have some work done.

My customers really seemed more like friends than customers because I

really got to know them well. Every job was an opportunity for me tominister in good service to others.



24/43


The combination for success is:

Taking a step forward in faith,(the advertisement).

Being thankful in advance of receiving the opportunity, (the prayer

before the knock).

Sustaining a willingness to honor God in good service and

thankfulness, (humbleness to work in good favor).

Asking for help when you need it, (asking God for more work and calling

customers to ask them for more work or opportunities).



25/43


Leveraging the Job to Build Your Future

How do you fit working forty plus hours a week and making any progress on

your goals and dreams together? There is probably a hundred answers to

this question because it is most likely different for everyone.

It would be extremely difficult to model an answer and not know the

dynamics of the persons circumstances. I think the best answer to offer is

to maintain the financially stability your job may offer while being

extremely efficient with your time when building your future. Be crystal

clear what your objectives are for building your future and dont hesitate todo them.



26/43


Another strain of thought is why do we have to think that they are in

competition with one another? Find ways to compliment building your

future while you are at work.

If your a writer why not offer to do some documentation of processes,

every company lacks documentation. The trick is to act in service, to somedegree, by applying your desire for obtaining your dream with some daily

activity at work that could help you obtain it or remain focused upon it.

The job by itself will never help you build your future unless its a part of

your future or it compliments your future.



27/43


Ask for a Sale Then Ask Again and Again

Sales Strategy: A Story of Determination and Hunger

Mastering sales is at the top of the list of skill sets for making millions.

Respectively, among other characteristics, it takes dedication and hunger to

really learn how to sell. Never the less the learning never really stops.

A while back I remember trying to drum up some business for my lawn

service. I had been without a job and my family was running low on optionsfor food. Beside asking for help from local charities, who offered assistance

through their food pantries, I worked at whatever job I could to make ends

meet.



28/43


I would start my day off with a prayer that I would find work. I asked for

opportunities where I could earn money for purchasing groceries or to pay

for the costly prescriptions that my wife needed. I am not exactly sure how

we made it through those times but I know it was a daily walk in faith.

One of the key things I remember doing was asking my customers if theyhad projects they needed done or if they knew anyone that had a need for

a helping hand.

I will admit sometimes I was lucky with this approach and would land a

sizable project. However, the bottom line is: The answer is always no, if you

dont ask. The biggest part of selling is asking for the sale so ask, ask, and

ask. Then when you think you have asked everyone you know then ask

again.



29/43


A Three Stage Technique to Accumulating Wealth

First make sure you are able to play the wealth game. Most of us want to

get the money but we dont want to do anything to get it. Although I am

not against this notion I can certainly attest to the fact that its not just

going to show up on my door step while I am watching re-runs on thetelevision.

So the first technique is to build, adopt or lease some kind of income

channel that brings in steady streams of cash in to your financial picture.

Home based businesses, service businesses or network marketing are allexcellent ways to earn cash for your wealth building. Keep an open mind.



30/43


Next, once you have established your streams of cash protect it by

minimizing your expenses. A vital part of minimizing your expenses is to

lower your tax liability. Knowing and using tax laws can help realize an

adjustment of your taxable income.

Typically this means operating your business as a corporation. However, doyour home work on this one because it could actually cost you more if it is

not set up properly or managed well.

Finally, the best investment to help continue and extend your net worth has

always been real estate. The optimal way to produce wealth from real

estate is to buy below market value and sell at market value or better.



31/43


Homework is key in real estate because knowledge of how to extract the

best margins is vital. This is not for the unexperienced investor yet with the

right mentoring you could secure some very handsome returns on

investment.

Personally, I am in stage one where I am still working on my income

channel. I think the key here is to keep an open mind on how to bring extracash to you financial plate. My thought has always been that if you keep

looking for the answers and keep asking the questions your going to find

what your looking for. However, be aware there are a lot of scams out there

that can be very distracting.



32/43


More Action Less Talk

I am as attracted to a good message as anyone especially if it motivates me

to take action. Unfortunately I see less action in my own effort and a whole

lot of listening to talk about how to be rich, get your finances in order, and

all kinds of relative wealth-building chatter. Its all great but I still haventrisen to the ranks of millionaire.

Ok, so most of what I listen to is free content. Free podcast, free audios,

free videos, youtube, etc. With this I guess I am getting what I pay for.However, why do I need to buy everyones brand of content? Well I have

thought about this for a while and the only logical conclusion I can come up

with is that it would make me feel better perhaps.



33/43


Bottom line is I dont think I would be any better off with the paid content

than with the free content if all I was going to do is to listen to it and say,

That was good. In other words its relatively worthless unless I have a

plan of action toward becoming rich.

To me it comes down to this. Ive got a boat load of debt that over weighsmy income. Like many of us its too easy to arrive in this condition,

especially if you have a family. Now I am left with trying to pay my debt and

sustain some kind of reasonable living.

What this really means is that I am going to have to use all my talents and

abilities and develop a few I didnt know I had to make a change in my life

and in the way I live before my debt all but consumes me.



34/43


Action on a good plan is what I am seeking. I have learned that detail is key

to an action plan and discipline accompanied with action is my key to

leveraging toward higher levels of income to reduce my debt. I have also

noticed that people who do become rich do so because they believe they

can.

On a special note, none of us were ever intended to be purposefully in debt

except for one and that debt was paid years ago.



35/43


Thinking Beyond a Cash Surplus

Often we hear wealth being described as how much money one poses. We

tend to discount all other forms of wealth because it not hard cash.

Certainly there is nothing wrong with cash or things we own but its not the

only way to count wealth.

In history, wealth has not always been about how much cash a person had

in the bank. More so it is about how a person understands the talents and

abilities, they possess whereby they are able to apply them to a good

prospering purpose.



36/43


Some people are born in to wealth and others have become wealthy by no

actions of their own. However, the wealth you and I seek is only through

our progression of a good plan.

A plan that will keep you focused and determined to sustain through and

overcome all the hard knocks you and I will encounter along the way.

Question: Where do I start?

Answer: Where your heart is. What you dream of doing that would fulfill

your true sense of purpose.

The answer is unique to each individual. Your plan will be different then

that of your neighbors. However, the formula is the same. This is, putting

your heart first toward a good purpose that will build you the wealth that

you seek while satisfying your inner need of acceptance.



37/43


Next, understand the historic lessons of our forefathers. Knowledge is key

to understanding. As well, understanding is only recognized through the

comparison of the past as it is applied to the future. Yes, this is a bold

statement. However, consider the following statement. If you learn all you

can learn at the expense of never using it then you have a totally worthless

proposition.

Understand who you are. Look at your past to determine the one thing you

have seen threaded through your entire life. In this, I would almost

guarantee it is your true passion and purpose and a great place to start.

What is in your heart?



38/43


Millionaire Mental ConditioningTake a few minutes, by yourself, and consider letting go of the issues that

churn in your mind that really have no benefit. The best way to discover

these are to note the ones that never seem to change no matter what. Do

this often and I bet you end up feeling better about yourself?

In reality, if youre going to take massive charge and instigate wealth

building in your life you must prepare yourself every day to let go of the no

control thoughts that you cant change. If you dont then they will, in fact,change you and close your mind to the opportunities that are waiting to be

discovered by you.



39/43


For the most part it is all about sustaining your belief in yourself and a can

do attitude even when it doesn't seem like your making any progress. Some

authors suggest a Fake it till you make it approach. More so you need to

overcome your hesitation that will lead you in to not taking action and thus

keep you from ever applying yourself to your goals and aspirations.

The reality is you are going to have to change into the person you want to

become and that takes action. So the saying should read Fake out your

mind into believing in yourself until you are patterned to always making it.

In other words, you need to train yourself to believe in your self that what

your applying your self to do is not only possible but has already been

done.



40/43


Forget why you can't do it and get on with how you can.

This is probably the hardest thing to do because human beings by nature

are lazy and love to be comfortable even in their misery. By nature we

would rather do nothing to help ourselves than to do anything to change.

My honest advice is for you to break your patterns of thinking by focusing

on how you conquered change in your life before. For example, how you

learned to ride a bike, swim, read, and yes become wealthy.

So in case you haven't figured it out by now the way to get where you wantto go is by educating yourself on how it can be done. Ideally, renewing your

mind will precede every change you actual make in your life.



41/43


Put your plan in to action and correct it along the way. Remember: You

must put your boat into motion and steer.



42/43


My MissionRemember earlier in this e-book I wrote that most people just say they

need more money. They are right! However, if all you long for is to make

more money to solve all your problems then all you will have is problems

that money can't solve.

Your problems are first solved by reaching out of your comfort zone and

changing the way you think. In essence, renewing your mind.

The hard truth is that we have all let clear thinking and creative thinking

much less thinking for our selves take a back seat in our lives. I hate to

break it to you but if your not seeking the help of advisors in your life you

are leading yourself to your own ruin.



43/43


How do I renew my mind? ...Well you find someone who has done what

you are wanting to do and you learn everything you possibly can while

taking as much action as you possibly can toward your goal and gaining as

much control over life as is needed to make a huge difference in your

personal life.

So don't take my word for it. Go out and test what I am telling you. Then

offer the truth back to the world by sharing your story.
