MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
HOW HAS IT AFFECTED YOUR LIFE? It’s possible that you don’t realize just how negative the im- pact of your story has been. Take a moment and assess its impact by answering the following questions: • Has it diminished or possibly destroyed your confi- dence and lowered your self-esteem? • Has it made you angry or vengeful? • Has it left you living with doubt, confusion, or maybe even going to therapy? • Has it cost you your health, your career, your peace of mind, a relationship, or your joy? • Has it stopped you from finding the real relationship you deserve or from fixing the relationship you’re in? • Has it prevented you from being the parent you want to be? • Has it made you fearful of trying to start your own business or create more wealth with your ideas? Chances are that you answered yes to one or more of these questions.

Don’t worry about writing complete sentences. Just get it all down on paper so you have something tangible to look at.

On your journey to where you want to go in life, how might these stories get in your way? Think about your life in 5 years, 10 years, or maybe even 20 years; what did you miss out on again because of these stories and beliefs? Close your eyes and imagine missing out on
