Whether or not you have a millionaire’s mindset depends on what you choose to be. Just like what you decided to eat, the same rule applies that you become what you think. If you decided to work for others as an employee, you will forever be looking for a job. If you decided to carve out your own career you will be proud of, you will be setting up your business.
The truth is most of us – especially Singaporeans – are not trained to think like entrepreneurs. From our school days, national service to working life, we are used to being told what to do. By the time we are old enough to think for ourselves, we are too brainwashed to make up our mind. As a result, we can only dream about being millionaires but will never be.
Most people are too preoccupied with the people on their side of fence that they failed to look on the other side. Their family, friends and relatives all attributed the way we think, decide and act.
Do you know job also stands for just over broke? When you think about this, you will see that it makes a whole lot of sense. Being an employee only allows you to earn what your boss thinks you are worth and just enough for your daily expenses and bills. And if you lose your job, you are broke unless you have another income source.
I am not saying that all bosses are bad. They provide jobs which isgood. I am just painting a picture of one of life’s realities which we hardly notice at times. If you go to business, you eventually end up as an employer yourself. I’m just opening the financial area of your mind.
If it goes up, it goes up alone. Most likely, you stay as you are. To surrender one’s finances to somebody is like having your future shaped in somebody else’s hand and not on your own.
I also appreciate the efforts our government put in creating jobs and courses for us to learn and upgrade in order to stay employable. But ask yourself whether this is what you want forever? If so, I have nothing further to add. It is your decision which you have to live with.
If you want to be successful, if you want to achieve extraordinary success, you definitely have to look to someone on the other side of the fence. Someone who has already achieved success in what you like to do and willing to help you in any way possible.
Your life and destiny is in your hands. So sooner or later, you have to take charge and claim what should be yours.
