MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
positive, uplifting posts from people expressing their gratitude for his dedication to their greatness. With so much exposure, though, comes some negativity—the haters. When I interviewed Trent, our conversations provided many great lessons, including his own happiness habit that helped him deal effectively with the pessimists and naysayers, both on- line and in his life. “First, I’ve come to associate a hateful post from someone as a disillusioned fan who is unconsciously still in need of some hope or motivation. It’s so easy to scroll down and see a post un- der a video I sent out that can immediately affect my mind-set. I’m human just like everyone else. But when I simply gave that negative post a new meaning, it created a new behavior in me. No longer did I see it as ‘I did something to create this’; rather, I see it as ‘This person still needs help and hopefully he will come around.’ But I’m not in control of them; I’m only in control of what I do. I let the tens of thousands of positive posts from the people who get inspired by my words be my fuel. And to protect myself even further, I’m very picky about who I follow, what I do, what I watch, and honestly, even the conversations I have . . . I’m very selective about certain people when they call me, because I know certain people either want something, or they want to bring gossip, or want to bring drama, so I always tell myself to protect my peace. So I will do what I must to put barri- cades between me and their negativity. Protect your peace every day and watch your happiness and joy grow. “And I have another habit to start each day off the best I can. When I wake up, I put myself in the Championship Mode mind-set, as I like to call it. I give thanks for the opportunity for life, for another day to give it my all. It’s my biggest thing for protecting my confidence and protecting my peace, because so many times, we don’t realize the opportunity we have, to give our greatness to the world every single day. God gave each of us greatness inside us, and we can’t share it and use it if we are not at peace. Do what you must, protect your peace, and show the world what you are made of.”
