MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
do you want to go?” So where do you want to go with your finances? Take that earlier list and implement it here, mak- ing it specific to your income. Is there a certain amount of money you want to accumulate so you can retire earlier, help your parents, and protect your family? Where do you want to live; how much do you want to spend on a residence in a given area; and how much does your dream home cost? Do you want to work for yourself, and if so, what is your revenue target? Do you want to have more employees, and how much revenue do you need to make to afford them? Do you want to sell your company, and if so, for how much? Then I want you to think about what actions you need to start taking today to move those goals forward. The action or step can be, and in many cases should be, small, but you must take a step in that direction to generate momentum. Like General Creighton Abrams Jr. explained, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” And how do you run a 100-mile race? One step at a time. How do you take your finances to that next level, start a new business, get a new ca- reer, obtain a promotion at work, or advance your company? With one step at a time, and that can start today. So what are the actions that you have to take? What e-mails do you have to send? What negative people do you have to start pushing out of your life? What people do you have to attract into your life? What do you have to say no to? Write it all down. So far you have made a list of tasks that you love to do; skills or areas that you’re good at; activities that will cut you the most money; your financial goals; and action steps you need to take to move toward these goals. Yes, this exercise can relate to any part of your life, but we’re sticking with money right now. Lastly, I want you to take a long, hard look at all the items on your list. Whatever is not on them most likely needs to go on your “make more money” what-not-to-do list. A not-to-do list is probably more crucial to your success than a to-do list.
