Believe it or not, if you want to make $1,000,000 from the net, you will have to start it from your mind, from your thinking. For me, nothing can ever beat your mindset. It is the most important asset in your life. Your mindset, or your thinking is the only factor that determines your future, your results, what you want in life, how much money you make each month, everything!Let me show you some truth, some real life examples.
At the age of 8, Tiger Woods set his goal of breaking every record set in golf and to become the world’s number one golfer. He accomplish this feat at 13 years later at the age of 21. How? He spent those 13 years focusing on his game in order to take it to the level he needed to make him to be the best. Now, how did Tiger Woods achieved all these amazing results in his life? That is mainly because he thinks of it! With all the achievements he got today, it is because he had the thinking of wanted to be a champion golfer.
What about Steven Spielberg? At the age of 12, Steven Spielberg knew that what he wanted to do was to tell stories to the world by making movies. It was this specific goal that directed him to spend his time making home videos at the age of 12 and exposing himself to movie sets at universal studios at the age of 18. It was these years of focused effort that allowed him to build the level of experience and skill he needed to make some of the best movies around. Can you see it now? It is because of the thinking again.
It is because he keeps on thinking about wanting to tell stories to the whole world through his movies. It all starts from his thinking, his mindset. Without all these thinking, did you think that he can ever achieve such a great results? (Wanted to know how powerful dreams can be? Read, The Power of Dreams)The Law of AttractionYou bet, that will be impossible! If you know what is the Law of Attraction, then you will understand how thinking can affects everything in our life. If you want to be an internet millionaire, then you must first adopt the mindset and the thinking of how being an internet millionaire is all about. You have to keep on telling yourself that you are internet millionaire. You have to think about how much money you are going to make each and everyday. It is your thinking and your mindset that creates your future.
What kind of life you are living in right now, only means that you have that kind of thinkingIf you are poor today, it is because you keep on thinking that money is not enough! You have to work harder to pay for all your dept. In the end, you will only attracts what is in your mind, which is dept. So if you want to have a happy life, you have to constantly think about something joyful. It will attracts all the happiness to you. Have you ever wondered why some rich people can make so much money in just a short time, then lose all of the money. After awhile, they can somehow gain back all their wealth again?This is because in the beginning, they keep on thinking about money. It is all about money that flows in their mind, and therefore, they attract money. They become rich in a very short time. After that, once they have all those money, they are afraid of losing it. Guess what, they lost all of their wealth, because they keep on thinking of the fear of losing money. And once they lose all the money, they will start to think about how to attract money once again.
This tells us that it is our mindset and our thinking that determine what we want in our life!Your Thinking Determines Your ActionWhat you think in your mind is going to determine what you want in your life. This is because your thinking will affects your action. Imagine this, if you keep on thinking about wanting to buy a brand new mobile phone that badly, do you think that you will actually buy it in the end? I’m sure you know the answer.
It is same in sports. If you keep on thinking about how you can improve your basketball skills, your thinking is going to lead you into taking real actions. You are going to play basketball more often, you will keep on striving to improve your skill.This is how your thinking attracts what you want the most for you.
I hope you can see it clearly by now, it is our mindset and our thinking that makes everything possible. Everything happens twice, once in your mind, as what you think, and once in reality. That is why you have to think about what you want every single day. Remember this, thinking equals building. If you think about how to get rich, you are actually building a wealthy life.

Life is governed by basic principles. Likewise success has it's own laws. For one to become successful there are things that must be done. In our discourse today, we will take a look at one of the principles success. For one to acquire wealth, that person must be a problem solver. If you take a look at the history of successful men and women, one obvious thing you will observe is that their primary focus was to provide solutions to a particular need in society.
As usual we will use case studies which will prove that if others can do it, we also can do it. Men who added value to society and went smiling to the bank. To create wealth is very easy. Just take a close look at your environment, discover what they are lacking, provide that item and people will comfortably part with their money.
He was used to taking treated bottled water. On this particular day under the blazing Lagos sun, he had no enough money to buy himself the usual bottled water and at the same time be able to transport himself back home from work. He was very thirsty but the situation was helpless. He thought of what to do, because he could not risk consuming the 50k nylon water popularly called "ice water."
far as he was concerned, if he could be going through this experience, some other persons must have gone through it, and still some people are going through it. So he began to ask himself questions. Why is it that you cannot enjoy treated water at a cheaper rate? Those who cannot afford the cost of bottled water, put their lives at risk by drinking the 50k water known as "ice water".
Then an idea came to him. Why not package treated water at the rate affordable to the general public? With this and many more questions, he came out with sachet water at N5.00 instead of the usually N50.00 bottled water. Today it is popularly known as "pure water." Within the next six months he became millionaire, and left the market by the time it was flooded by other businessmen.
I belong to the school of thought that insists the best way to make money is to solve problems. The slogan used to be that the economy is bad, that there is no money in this country. But it is in this same country that telecommunication companies are making mega bucks. Why? Because they provided solutions to people's needs.
DMT is making it as a company today by providing mobile toilets to the public. We all know what it used to be in public functions where this service is not available. I can never be tired of telling the story of cowbell sachet milk. What they did was just to solve the problem of non-availability of milk to the low-income earners in the country and the rest has been history ever since. In fact that singular act changed the face of business in this country.
The truth of the matter is that as far as the earth is still in existence, there must be problems. The only thing you need to do is to find solutions to those problems and that breakthrough you are looking for will be yours. Look around you, don't go too far. In your immediate community is the starting point. What are the problems people are going through that you can provide solutions to? All you need to make that change is within if you but search.
The story is told about a young man who for years after graduation could not secure a job. From one interview to another, yet nothing happened. From one aptitude test to another the story still remained the same.
As he woke up one morning to set out for another job interview, thinking he was going to fulfil all righteousness, after all he has come very close to securing one, but at the end of the day the story will be same "We will get back to you"
When he got to the bank, the interview could not hold as scheduled, so he had to wait for hours. Fortunately for him, he was not able to secure the job. But as he was leaving the bank premises, he had a strange feeling that was very unusual. I mean he has just lost another chance to work in the bank like his mates, so has every reason to be in a mournful mood. But the reverse was the case, though he couldn't place his hand on what was happening.
At home he began to play back what happened in the bank. While he was waiting for the interview to commence he discovered that those who came to withdrew money where not going with a satisfied look on their faces. In fact, one customer had a heated argument with a bank staff.
The problem happens to be that as soon as people collect their money, they are left to find ways to protect the money. And he began to think. Is there no way somebody can provide the customers with something to protect their money as they leave the bank? What can be provided? Who can provide it? The questions were coming very fast.
And soon the answers came, why not? Yes, something could be provided. A nylon bag. And who is the best person to provide it? Him of course, after all he has no job as at present and the business requires low start up capital.
He went to the market bought the nylon bags at N5 each and positioned himself in front of the very bank that refused him employment and began to sell his wares at N20 to those who were in need of it. Now almost every body was in need of it.
At 300 per cent profit people were willing to even pay more to protect their money. If you withdrew, for instance, N100, 000, do you think N20 would be too much to use for it's protection? And the money came pouring in. Within a short while, he started buying from the manufacturers at a cheaper rate and engaged the services of 20 youths who he placed in front of other 20 branches of different banks making more than 300 per cent profit per bag. Before people could get into that business as is our culture, he had made millions and re-invested his money into other areas.
In your bid to provide solutions, be ready for rejections. Be courageous. For it's only you and no one else will prove to the world that you can do it. This was the kind of adversity Booker T. Washington was confronted with. As a youngster, he and his brother had walked nine miles each day to school in order to start their education.
At age 12, he had left home for good to attend high school, supporting himself, doing chores and housework similar to what he'd done at home on the farm. At age 20, he was ready to start college. So, in 1885, he used every penny he had to travel from his city to Highland College. He felt excited over his admission to Highland College, for getting an education had always been his driving goal. When he got to Highland College, however, his hopes where dashed. Even though his application had been accepted, school officials rejected him when they discovered that he was black.
For a few years after that rejection, he tried to establish a business, but his desire to continue his education drew him back to his goal. In 1890, after several rejections by other institutions, he was accepted by Simpson College, which accepted students regardless of race. He opened a laundry to support himself and studied painting and piano.
He excelled in arts. One of his works won first prize at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. His writings were published in newspapers. He became a trainer for the school's athletic teams. He joined the campus' military regiment, where he rose to the group's highest rank-Captain. He later changed his major from art to agriculture.
He went on to receive his degree in agriculture. His excellence in the fields of botany and horticulture prompted two professors to encourage him to stay on as a graduate student and earn his master's degree. He did. And in the process, he worked as the assistant botanist for the College Experiment Station, developed expertise in plant pathology and mycology, and became the first African American faculty member at Iowa State College.
In April of 1896, he accepted an offer from the Tuskegee Institute to become the school's director of Agriculture. His agricultural research and discoveries improved farming throughout the country, and he was especially successful at helping poor, black farmers. His development of an extension programme to take the classroom out to the people made a real difference in the lives of thousands. While at Tuskegee Institute, he earned the respect of such innovators as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, as well as that of several Presidents of the United States.
Look around you, is there a need as little as N5 can solve? That could be the breakthrough you've been praying for.
Forget that certificate, forget your background, your pride and every other thing that constitutes a hindrance to your wealth creation dream. Be a solution provider, that way wherever you build your tent, people will surely come after you. Remember the story of sachet milk or that of pure water. Are they a success today? They solved a problem in society and the businessmen involved smiled all the way to the bank.
The key is in your hands. Use it!
To your success!
