Developing Your Millionaire Mentality for Home Business Success, Part I by Jennifer Herndon

The difference in the "minimum mentality" and the "millionaire mentality" is the difference in the life or the death of your home business. The vast majority of people live their whole lives knowing nothing and living nothing other than the minimum mentality. And this is okay for them. They live paycheck to paycheck. They have no true desire other than to make it to another Friday and, ultimately, to 30 years of Fridays and retirement. In other words, they do the "minimum" required to get by in life. If this describes you, you're probably not reading this. And, you probably wouldn't find anything of value here anyway.

If you are looking for home based business success, then you have at least some desire for something more than 30 years of 9 to 5 and a nice watch at the end. Although it is essential to home business success, learning to think like a millionaire is often easier said than done. It's a major shift that means you must step out of your comfort zone, a move most people avoid at all costs. The minimum mentality is easy because for most of us, we're making it okay as things are. We're getting by. We might be unhappy with our job, or live paycheck to paycheck, by we're getting by. And for those who aren't drifting through life in a comfort zone, those who may be drowning in debt or unhappiness, the millionaire mentality is perhaps even a greater leap because it's so hard to get your mind off of your current stresses.

Developing your millionaire mentality is hard work, yes, but the payoff is priceless. There will be days when you want to give up, when you say "none of this works," and when you question whether it was "meant to be" for you. But once you're there, your whole life will change. You'll start seeing every challenge as an opportunity, every failure as the seed of a greater success to come.

Do you know of someone who appears to be lucky? Someone who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, who always seems to have things go her way? We often look at people like this and think they aren't smarter than us, prettier than us, they don't work harder than us -- so what gives? Good things happen for people like this because they have a millionaire mentality -- they expect good things to happen to them. Such people often times are dumber than you, uglier than you, and lazier than you, but that doesn't matter! They achieve home based business success, or whatever success they desire, because they think they can.

The thought of the day, led by the book and movie The Secret, teaches us to "ask and you shall receive," and that the only thing you have to do to get what you want is to simply want it. I love The Secret, but this aspect is a little misleading. There's an assertion that we each have our own personal genie, who grants our every wish simply upon our command. Sorry, but it's quite a bit more complicated than this.

You can become the person that things always go right for; the person who by all appearances is inexplicably blessed. But it's going to take some work. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. For things to change, you must change. Fortunately for you, if you have a burning desire, you can develop the millionaire mentality. Coupled with focused action, this mentality leads to home based business success. We'll get started next time.
