How Not To Be a Millionaire

Everyone is Like That. Why Should I Be different?

This is one of the most important rules you have to follow if you DON’T want to be a millionaire. Follow the crowd. Don’t even think twice. Everyone want to be safe first and then successful. But in the frantic struggle to be safe and keep your family safe, you do things which are not in your core competencies. The result is that life becomes a big struggle for survival and nothing else. If you think about the people who made their way from rags to riches, you will notice that they never followed the crowd. They had faith in their god given talents and abilities and their whole activity revolved around their core competencies. All such billionaires developed a habit of thinking differently and seeing the demand and then concentrating their talents and hard work to supply for those demands.

Failure: The Thing You Should Fear Most

Fear Failure as failure can kill you. Go on, think about failing and all those sarcasms and ridicule which will follow you after your failure. Keep worrying about making mistake and procrastinate that bright idea which you have. When I was a kid, I was raised in a society where people thought of “securing” their life through a government job. If anyone says that they don’t want to get into a government job they will see some acute angled eyebrows. So, pass mark was a must in all the subjects. I was afraid of failing. Then, one day, I failed. Needless to say, I had to suffer a lot. But then I realized that I can take a few more of those easily. It is not a big deal. From that day, I was not afraid of Failures (I have failed in more university exams than you can imagine) and Rejections (Rejected by a couple of girl friends). Because of that I came a long way and left the “crowd” way behind me and they all envy me now. You might be asking now “oh, so he is also a Billionaire?” Not yet. But I will reach there pretty soon.

Don’t Learn Anything New, Be Stagnant As a Rock

In this world of exponential growth, it is a good idea to be inactive if you DON’T want to be rich and powerful. Knowledge has got such power to transform the most undervalued person to the epitome of success. So, stay away from it. If possible, try not to use or revise what you have already learned after spending thousands in college. Why because it has been scientifically proven that if you don’t use some skill, you will eventually lose it. By learning I don’t mean only college education. As you might rightly ask “why most of the top billionaires are college drop out”? I totally agree. I have also read that article about Bill gates and Steve jobs. But the thing to remember here is that they never stopped learning. They never stopped observing. They never stopped taking those feedbacks back with them and improving day by day until they did justice to their potential.

Dream Only When You Sleep

If you DON’T want to be a rich man, it is mandatory that you should not dream while you are awake. Don’t even think about tomorrow. Think about today and think about survival only. Dreams are the most underestimated tools. A solid, deep rooted dream can act as a rocket fuel which will propel you in your way to success. Even if you dream don’t dream vividly so that it will be only a normal day dreaming. A vivid dream split up into clear cut short term goal is the one thing which all the successful and rich people had in common. There is another key thing to mention here. You should totally believe that you WILL achieve whatever you are dreaming of no matter how so ever impossible it might seem. Believe me, once you achieve a couple of those short term goals, you will feel more confident and the dreams seem to be more achievable.
