Millionaire Secrets - Be Decisive And Action Oriented

Millionaire Secrets - Be Decisive And Action Oriented
Have you ever met or seen a person that just couldn’t make up their mind about something? Have you ever been to a restaurant with someone that couldn’t decide about what to order? I’m sure you have. There is a lesson to be learned here and a pattern to become aware of and follow.
Unless you you have been living under a rock for the last several years, you have undoubtedly read the book “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill, or at least heard of it. If you haven’t - I think you should pick up a copy and read it from front to back 3 times…all Millionaires have become who they are because they use the principles explained in it’s writings.
Here’s a quick story I wanna share from the book.
At the request of Andrew Carnegie, Hill was to set out and dedicate his life to the study of how the most successful people in the world acquired their great wealth. What Hill didn’t know at the time was while Carnegie was requesting this assignment of him, he had a stop watch under his desk and he was timing Hill to see how long it would take him to make a decision. Carnegie new that successful people made decisions quickly and acted upon them.
Hill answered yes in the first 20 seconds and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in history.
Just like Carnegie, Millionaires understand the importance of being decisive and action oriented. How in the world could anyone become wealthy, free, or abundant if they constantly can’t make up their minds about what to do?
Do you think Donald Trump goes into his office and ponders for days about what to do next? Heck no. He makes a decision to DO it and takes action to bring about it’s creation. Do you think Henry Ford, Bill Gates or the millions of other Millionaires on this planet walk around all day pondering about weather to do this or do that. No, they don’t. They take there situation, whatever that may be at the time, and make the decision to take action and bring about the realization of their decision.
Now don’t get me wrong, planning, analyzing, and asking questions is something that all Millionaires do. But once it’s all said and done, the decision is made and the action is taken…no if’s and’s or but’s about it.
I use to be the same way. I use to do the same things. I was just like the person in the restaurant that couldn’t decide what to order and then second guesses themselves on their decision and thought that maybe I should have ordered something different. As I write this now and think back to those times, it seems like I’m living a whole new life - I believe I am.
I made the decision a long time ago to become a Millionaire and help as many other people become Millionaires as well. Have I reached my goal yet? No. But ever since I made my decision and began studying what I am teaching here, I have managed to eliminate $36,000 in dept, quit my life draining “job” that I was told I should have since I was born, and started a Home Business that makes me more than any job ever could. I did all of that in six months. How’s that for becoming aware of what’s possible.
Just like the Millionaires I study and the many more I have yet to uncover, I made a decision and took the action required to reach my goals and I have not let anything stop my decision - and I never will.
Have I made bad decisions that took me off course from what I wanted to achieve? Of course.
Have the millions of Millionaires out there made bad decisions in their lives? Of course.
So what did we do? We made another decision and took action to bring us back on course. And it really is that simple.
Bottom line, I sleep like a baby every night knowing that I am making the decisions and taking the actions towards achieving what I desire on this planet. I know that even if I make a bad decision I can always make a better one after, and then a better one after that. I know that being decisive and action oriented is one of many Millionaire Secrets, and I choose to use it to make my life whatever I desire.
