The ways of millionaires are not the ways of ordinary people. There are the ways of people who have known that we live in a world of abundance and it is their right to possess enormous wealth and riches. They know that God did not create them and put them on this planet to suffer. There is the need for enjoyment and happiness.
Before we get into these ways let me introduce my book to you. It is titled MONEY MIND. It explores details of concepts of personal finance and money management.
NOW LET'S GO...
Have you ever used or heard of the statement "Dis life no balance?" Sometimes it is not only "dis life no balance", but "dis life no balance at all." This is a statement of inferiority complex. The people who use it are people who feel that some people are better off and they can never get to the position of such people. Robert Kiyosaki says you are defeated once you say "I can't afford it". Winners ask "How can I afford it?" This goes same when you say "dis life no balance" or "dis life no balance at all." What you should ask yourself should be "how can I balance this life?" That is the first way of millionaires. They don't sit and complain. They make things happen. Remember that "there are no limitations except the ones acknowledged by the mind."
The next way of millionaires is knowing that money is not everything but it is needed to make things happen. Now, look around you and see everything which makes life comfortable for you. Would you have had those things if money was not involved? Certainly not! That is why money is needed in almost everything. T. Harv Eker says "Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn't." Therefore, if you want to operate like a millionaire, you must know that money is relevant in the things of this world.
Furthermore, millionaires safeguard their money. This does not mean that they worship money. It simply means that they treat their money well and keep it away from theft, embezzlement, mismanagement, reckless expenditures, impulse purchases etc. Ugwu Arese says that "If you don't treat the money you earn with respect, it will leave you with no respect." I know you always complain that your rich brother, sister, uncle, cousin etc. is stingy with their money. They are not stingy. They are simply safeguarding their money. People who safeguard their money always plan before giving out money or even making purchases. That is why you will see very rich and wealthy people who don't bother about spending money on stuffs like dresses. According to them, those are discretionary expenses. They spend their money on non-discretionary things. In summary, if you want to do like millionaires, you must take good care of your money.
Another way of millionaires is caring for their health. There is a population saying that "Health is wealth. " This is so true to be argued. Once you are in good health, you can work any desired amount of money. But the moment your health fails you, you cannot do anything reasonable. Millionaires know this and that is why they make sure that they take good care of their health. They don't rely on junk food, they exercise and they take medications when need be. You certainly have heard some of them say "Feed the body that works the money. " Yes. It is true! Feed the body that works the money! Give it food, exercise it through any sport of your choice, work it out, have enoughsleep. That is how millionaires do. It is their way.
Millionaires network. You must have heard of the famous saying that "You cannot build an empire alone." You need to connect and work with people. Among the Bangwa of Cameroon, there is a proverb which says "tar abou aba le lebu kwet" which means "a single hand cannot tie a bundle." This proverb takes different forms in different communities. In some communities it is said that "If you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far, go in group." The moment you create good connections, everything goes well in your business, career, academic, church etc. In a sense, you need to build right relationships. That is the way of millionaires.
Again, millionaires know that failure is inevitable. This means that failure is part of the process. Some of them even believe that without failure, success is not worth celebrating. Therefore, you need to fail and fail again. Some millionaires know that they are trying hard only when they fail. According to them, if you don't fail it means that you are not trying anything. Inasmuch as we want success we must embrace failure. Failure is not defeat. It becomes defeat only when we give up. As a millionaire, therefore, you must know that you have to fail so many times before you succeed.
To conclude, millionaires don't complain, they take good care of their health, safeguard their money, network and consider failure as part of the process of success. These outstanding qualities make them different and outstanding in the society. Anyone who is determined to be a millionaire must strive for these qualities.
