Some things to avoid if you want to become a millionaire

Sometimes I get depressed and I do not want to do anything. But then I push through to the other side. Believe that you can never do it or will never make it. You won’t make it if you don’t believe it.

And then talk about it.

I have found that the more I communicate about something the more real it becomes.

You will most likely have to put in a lot of work even when you do not want to.

Don't think about it, just do it.

This should be first on the list. I have known a lot of people that will dump all over you are scream at you and tell you, you are wrong or crazy or evil.

Just let them go and keep moving.

People that think everything sucks even if you are eating cavier in the penthouse of the Ritz Carleton.

They are getting something out of bringing everything down a peg.

AVOID

There are too many great things in life.

There is a line between believing you can accomplish a goal that has not yet happened and believing that the world is going to end on X date and some dude has a direct connection to GOD.

Do not get sucked into a cult, because at some point they will ask for all your money, devotion and soul.

I lump these orgs in with the cult list above.

Someone that is abuse verbally, physically or financially. Or does not really believe in you.

I was in a relationship where I kept telling myself that the other person loved me even though the behavior said otherwise, that relationship ended in disaster and I was a mess. First, be brutally honest with yourself and then with the people around you. Even when the truth is hard, messy, disastrous. The truth is better than the alternative.

This is the other side of lying. Just like you should not lie to others, you have to be vigilant to not believe lies. There are tons of them floating around out there. Ask yourself: Is this true and why is this statement true?
There is not jetpack to wealth, just decisions/actions that move you toward your goal.

See Sam Walton and Warren Buffett. Frugality often leads to wealth.

Sam Walter borrowed a lot of money to open new Walmart stores. Buffett paid a lot of money for BNSF. You should be buying assets that make you money.

We indoctrinate children to believe in the American education system. And for 99% of people that is good thing. But a lot of student go into massive debt to fund an education that they may not even really want. Ask yourself that really tough question: Do I really want this and am I willing to spend X dollars and years working toward this goal?

It is great to be charitable. You should be charitable. But the more money you have the more you have to give away. Don’t give away your shirt, you are going to need it.
