Why should you strive to learn how to become a millionaire?
Why should you develop the millionaire mindset?
For money? For attention?
Well here's a powerful reason that's worth your
time to consider....
You see, in a recent interview with multi-millionaire
Jim Rohn (Anthony Robbins' original mentor) he
mentioned what he feels is the best reason for
learning how to become a millionaire.
Here's what Jim Rohn said in the interview...
"Set a goal to become a millionaire for what it makes
of you to achieve it."
Then Jim Rohn went on to talk about his own mentor.
A man with a true millionaire mindset.
Jim continued...
"My own mentor, Mr. Schoaff, had an interesting way
of teaching it. When I was 25 years old he said to me,
'I suggest, Jim, that you set a goal to become a
millionaire.' I was all intrigued by that. You know,
it's got a nice ring to it - millionaire.
Then Mr. Shoaff said, 'Here's why.'
"I thought to myself, 'gosh, he doesn't need to teach
me why. Wouldn't it be great to have a million dollars?'
Then Shoaff said, "No. Then you'll never acquire it.
Instead, set a goal to become millionaire for what it
makes of you to achieve it."
"Do it for the skills you have to learn and the person
you have to become. Do it for what you'll end up
knowing about the marketplace. What you'll learn about
the management of time and working with people. Do it
for the ability of discovering how to keep your ego in
check. For what you have to learn about being benevolent.
Being kind as well as being strong. What you have to
learn about society and business and government and
taxes and becoming an accomplished person to reach the
status of millionaire."
"All that you have learned and all that you've become
to reach the status of millionaire is what's valuable.
Not the million dollars."
Jim Rohn mentioned a bunch of amazing things during this
interview. But, this lesson really stands out as advice
we should all follow.
In fact, Jim Rohn wasn't the only millionaire who agrees
with the power of this lesson. Chicken Soup for the Soul
co-author, Jack Canfield gave the same lesson in an
interview with him.
Jack said, "It doesn't make a lot of difference to become
a millionaire. I've done that many times over and I can
tell you that it's nice to have a house and a car that
doesn't fall apart and all that."
"But, what's more important is who did I have to become
in order to become a millionaire?"
"I had to learn how to overcome my fears. I had to learn
how to talk in front of groups. I had to learn how to
plan a speech. I had to learn how to ask people I was
initially afraid of to loan me money, etc."
"All of that was scary. But, when I did it and survived
it, I was no longer afraid to do it in the future. Now
you can take away my house, my money, my car and
everything, and it wouldn't matter. I know how to create
more of those things because of who I've become NOT what
I possess."
The powerful lessons taught by the millionaires in these
interviews is priceless.
