MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
I’ve carried this ideal with me for my whole life. Some people may look from the outside and say, “Well, Dean, you have money; you easily can hire people to do things.” But I realize now, looking back, that I hired people to do the things I sucked at even when I didn’t have much money at all. I knew from a young age that if I could hire a personal assistant to book my travel, to pick up my dry cleaning, to buy me grocer- ies, and to get my house taken care of, then I could work in my Unique Ability and make the most money possible—this yielded the best return on investment. When I first hired an assistant, I finally found the time to work on the things I’m excellent at, the things that are in my area of Unique Ability. Eventually, this philosophy helped me focus on speaking on stage, writing books, educating others, doing bigger real es- tate deals, and meeting people to do deals with. In turn, these activities helped my businesses flourish. Unique Ability is especially relevant in today’s world where you have interns and virtual assistants who will work for pennies on the dollar for the experience. In fact, I’ll give you a list of companies that provide virtual assistants that are incredible and can do small projects for you; they will free you to work on the things that are in the inner ring of your unique ability circle. Think about how you spend your time. What things can you say no to that are not in your Unique Ability that will then allow you to say yes to the things that make you feel the best and can make you the most money? Because I promise you, when you learn to say no to things that don’t take your wealth to that next level, you will find yourself accomplish- ing your income goals faster than imaginable. Ask yourself, what do you think is your Unique Ability? What activities are not in your area of Unique Ability? Then progress to the other rings: what you are excellent at, what you are good at, and what you stink at. You can also label the hourly rate you anticipate for each item you list.
