“I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.”
– Warren Buffet
The first time I decided to buy my first rental property…I had no idea how I would raise the money to buy the house. Because I had set a goal to become wealthy through real estate… I had determination to act on my goal.
Flash forward to present …I now own substantial rental real estate in my investing portfolio. I am also a real estate developer
How was I able to find the courage to act on my dreams?
The answer is simple. I am now living my millionaire dream because I took massive action.
The more I work on my dreams, the bolder I become in taking action to my millionaire goals
You see, you need to be convinced in yourself to become a millionaire…because it is a test of whether you’ll accomplish your dream.
How do you build confidence to achieve your millionaire dreams?
The first thing you must do is to set goals and achieve them. You see a goal is like a dream with a deadline.
Goal setting gives you the courage to take decision and act on them. In addition, your self-esteem grows when you hit your targets.
You see your brain is like a muscle…the more you set goals and achieve them the bolder you become at taking on more financial risk… that will make you a millionaire.
Let us imagine you start a new business venture, you aim for a profit of $50 in the first 2 months, and you earn $ 50 within 2 months…
What will that do for your self-esteem? Your guess is as good as mine is.
On the other hand, your confidence would hit the rock bottom if you set an unrealistic goal like earning $5000 within the first 2 months of starting your business.
The secret to building your courage with goals is to start small and keep setting goals that are achievable.
As your continuously hit your goals, your confidence will also skyrocket
Keep A Success Journal
Another thing I do is to keep a record of all my past successes. You can do the same.
I use my records of my achievement as confidence boosters when I start to feel insecure along my journey.
One way you can do this is to create a box on your desk that contains…inspiring stories, any accomplishments, testimonials, ….
Thank you letters from customers into the box.
You can also keep a success diary where you record all your successes daily. I use my journal to do daily reflections as well.
I used to read my diaries in the past…. Nowadays I use my Ipad to record my success journal.
The point of keeping a journal and box of inspirational materials is to help you believe in yourself.
You Need To Network with People who will help you to fulfil your dreams
If you are not shy and like to live in the real world like myself…then you need-to network with like-minded persons …who is also working towards becoming wealthy.
You need to surround yourself with positive energy. You need to live and be in an environment that will nurture your dreams.
You need to find people and make friends with people who will keep you motivated. I have friends and mentors that help me stay focused on my plans to become wealthy.
As an entrepreneur, you need to feed on positive material to keep you charging to wards your dreams.
I set aside time yearly to attend seminars, conferences because I have experienced growth in my business anytime I attend.
I have a mastermind group where we hold each other accountable to our goals. I find these one-hour monthly meetings useful.
There is no better place to be than among people of your kindred spirit.
Join social and networking events to meet more people if you need to…because not only will you be able to exchange ideas, you will be able to motivate each other.
Keep Learning
The last thing I’ll like to say about gaining confidence is that you must spend money on educating yourself.
You need to become an avid learner and reader. Buy audio programs, read books related to your wealth building goals.
You need to spend money on developing your mind.
I always tell people this story to make my point clear about spending money on self-education.
Here’s my story…
How a $250 Seminar saved me from bankruptcy
I never realised I was a novice until I bought my first rental property in London. This property almost made me bankrupt.
My first real estate exposed the knowledge gap I needed to bridge… in an expensive way because I was losing up to $900 every month until I went to $250 real estate seminar.
It was after I attended that real estate seminar that I was able to plug my negative cash flow from the loss making rental property until I sold up.
Fast forward to the present, I now own income producing real estate …because I made a $250 investment in my education.
Are you spending money on improving yourself? If you are not then you must start doing so.
You are not alone If you are not feeling confident about becoming a millionaire …
most of the persons that became millionaire never had the confidence…they gained it over time.
The key to gain confidence is to take action… set goal and achieve them.
Keep motivating yourself with every progress you make. Surround yourself with like-minded persons and keep learning
To your success
