Nobody can hurt us without our consent. There are many instances in life where our confidence is hit hard. Sometimes we overcome life’s tribulations, other times we get overwhelmed. Sometimes our courage and confidence see us through, but at other times our self-confidence gets a beating.

However, the point to note here is to remember that “nobody can hurt us without our consent.”  An example…. I used to get lurid when ”F1″ wannabe drivers will cut into the car lanes or overtake brusquely without signalling.  But hang on… what is the point of having a heart attack for nothing?  Hahaha… so nowadays, I just brush away these acts of inconsiderateness.  Maybe they are rushing to make a date with their maker. Hahaha

The point to note is that we cannot change the thoughts or behaviour of these drivers.  But we can change our own thoughts and behaviour towards them, in a positive manner of course!  This should be the way forward.

The key to being lucky in anything, including examinations,  is simply to prepare, prepare and prepare.

As a student, if you have prepared well, you will “be lucky” , no matter what the questions in the exam paper may bring.  At work, you will “be liucky” and be promoted often way ahead of your peers.

So such is life - in fact, have you ever noticed that the luckiest people are the ones who prepare?

Luck is simply not by accident, if you have clear goals and prepare yourself, you will begin to see opportunities all around you. Your brain is designed to seek out relevant information, but you have to tell it what is relevant.

Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet

Another way to put it would be that The Harder You Work, The Luckier You Get!

A guy has been asking the prettiest girl in town for a date and finally  she agrees to go out with him. He takes her to a nice restaurant, buys  her a fancy dinner with expensive wine and on the way home he pulls over  to the side of the road in a secluded spot. They start necking and he’s getting pretty excited.

He starts to reach under her skirt and she stops him, saying she’s a  virgin and wants to stay that way. “Well, OK,” he  says, “how about a blow job?”

“EEEEyyyyyyeeeewwwwwww!” she screams.  ”I’m not putting that thing in my mouth!” He says, “Well then, how about  a hand job?”  ”I’ve never done that,” she says.  “What do I have to do?”  ”Well,” he answers, “remember when you were a kid and you used to shake up a Coke bottle and spray your brother with it?” She nods. “Well, it’s just like that.” So he pulls it out and she grabs hold of it and starts shaking it. A few seconds later, his head flops back on the headrest, his eyes close, snot starts to run out of his nose, wax blows out of his ears and he screams out in pain. “What’s wrong?!” she cries out.

“TAKE YOUR THUMB OFF OF THE END!!!!!!”

Let’s cut to the chase.  So what are the 7 steps that Millionaire Mindset guru Adam Khoo espouses? Well…. read on! 

Step 1: Adopt the Million-Dollar Mindset

Millionaires see learning experiences, while Mr Average Joe sees failure. The moment you adopt the beliefs and habits of a millionaire, your perception of the world will change completely and you will realize that there are money-making opportunities everywhere and everyday around you.

Amazingly, these are opportunities that you were once quite blind to!

Step 2: Set Clear Finanical Goals

Wealth never happens by chance. It always begins with a clear goal in mind. At one point of time in their life, millionaires always make a decision to become rich.

However, whenever most people are asked what their financial goals are, they more often than not would just pause and stare blankly back. This is a major reason why they will never achieve any level of wealth because they have no clue what it is.

Unless you have a specific figure to focus on, you will never be able to develop a strategy to achieve it.

Step 3: Create A Financial Plan

Once you have set specific financial targets of how much you want to earn and how much money you want to accumulate, you can then develop an effective plan to achieve it.

Goals by themselves are nothing but pipe dreams. Only when you create a plan, have you made your goal a possibility. The moment you start taking action on your plan, your dream becomes a reality.

Step 4: Massively Increase Your Income

After developing their financial plan, most people tend to become initially disheartened. They look at their plan and realize that with the amount they are earning and saving right now, it will be decades before they see any big money.

It is therefore important that you learn how to accelerate and turbo-charge your financial plan by taking steps to massively increasing your income.

Step 5: Manage Your Money & Reduce Expenses

Many people think that by increasing their income, their wealth will automatically increase. Unfortunately, increasing income is only one side of the wealth equation.

After all, there are people who earn $2,000 a month who are broke and there are those who earn $20,000 who are still broke.

The reason is because when we don’t manage the money we earn, our expenses will always rise to our level of income, wiping out any surplus we have!

Step 6: Grow Your Money at Millionaire Returns

By increasing your income and reducing your expenses, you will find that you will be able to accumulate a surplus of funds that you can use to help you build your fortune.

You need to do this because, no matter how hard you work and save, you will never be able to create phenomenal wealth unless you learn how to put your money to work for you.

Through the power of compounding, you will be able to take small sums of money and build it into huge returns over time.

Step 7: Protect Your Fortune

There is no use working hard to build your personal fortune only to see it all taken away from you. There are many people who have taken decades to build their fortune only to see it wiped out by an accident, unforeseen illness or through an unexpected lawsuit.

Self-made millionaires engage professionals like insurance advisors, lawyers and accountants to help them build a financial fortress so their wealth is protected from potential creditors, plaintiffs looking to sue and the government who may take away a big chunk of your wealth through a whole range of taxes that you may not have even heard about.

So there you have it, an overview of the seven steps that you must take towards financial abundance.
