How to Earn the Money You Want By Doing What You Love (Part 7)

Secret #6 - Find A Mentor To Accelerate The Process

If you have taken all the five steps I have mentioned in my last few blogs, you will see yourself changing in mentally on how your view your future, how you look at events that happened around you. You may notice things which you previously did not. You see your own attitude changes, becoming positive and active, and showing interest on events leading to your goal. You are doing what you love and enjoy every minutes of it.

One way of speeding up the process of achieving you goal is to find a mentor. A mentor is someone who are able to provide you guidance along the journey. He will be there when you needed a helping hand to cross a roadblock you meet along the way.

Below is what Andy Fuehl, author of audio CD, Wealth Without a Job, said about having a mentor:

Having a mentor is key. I asked many times, and some successful people turned me down, but others said yes. In fact, Dolf de Roos, New York Times bestselling author of Real Estate Riches, is now a good friend and business partner. All because I asked. I also provided value to my mentors by offering to do things to help them make more money and be more successful. Providing value is easy. You have a unique talent, and others will be grateful to you.
I encourage you to find a mentor to help you. Find someone who has achieved what you want and ask that person for help. You will be glad you did.

How to Earn the Money You Want By Doing What You Love (Part 6)

Secret #5 - Who You Associate With, Determines Your Financial Results

The people you associate with regularly actually determine your financial results. Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) refers these associates as mastermind alliance. Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad) refers to the six people you spend the most time with. Brian Tracy (Thinking Big) refers them as master mind group. Your financial annual income will equal to the average of the six closes associates you spend most of your time with.

Now, I'm not suggesting that you dump your friends and family today. They love you and want only the best for you. However, if your friends and family are negative, consider spending less time with them. Find new friends who are upbeat and positive and make the kind of money you want. When you associate yourself with people who are more successful, you begin to start thinking the way they do, and, before you know it, you will be earning lots of money too.

Andy Fuehl, author of audio CD, Wealth Without a Job has these to say on master mind group:

When I started my journey to success, I didn't realize this key step. Once I did, I started to associate with people who are wealthy and positive. The results speak for themselves. You may think, "Why would a wealthy person want to associate with me?" Wealthy people - from my perspective - are the most giving people around. They remember where they came from and are willing to give back. If you are serious about your success - and I'm sure you are, otherwise you wouldn't have read this far - then wealthy people will help you as well. All you have to do is ask. When you ask and are sincere, wealthy people will help you.

You start evaluate the people in the group you currently spend the most time with. Start eliminate those people whom you think have either do not help or have negative influence in achieving your goal. Of those people you have short listed, select the six people to be the member of your master mind group. They are people with upbeat and positive mental attitude, and generate the kind of positive energy whenever you are with them. These are the people which you plan to spend most of your time with. To be successfully fulfill your goal and passion, you need support and direction when you are lost or down. Life is a rollercoaster, there are ups and there are downs. Life is like walking through a series of corridors with junctions, closed doors and corners which we need to make decision and selections. Your master mind group will assist in making the right decisions and selections.

Rich people associate with positive successful people; poor people associate with negative unsuccessful people.

How to Earn the Money You Want By Doing What You Love (Part 5)

Secret #4 - Tune Up Your Mind to Earn More Money


“We become what we think of, most of the time.” A quote from Brian Tracy sums it all that everything and anything we want to succeed, start with our mind. Of all the wealth generation tools you can find in this world, our mind is the most useful and most powerful of all. Best of it all, it is free of charge. We must be careful of how we utilize this power by understanding how the mind works. If you think in negative terms, you will get negative results. If you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results.


A person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that's what he's thinking about. Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear, and worry will thereby create a life of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing ... he becomes nothing.


Andy Fuehl, author of audio CD, Wealth Without a Job mentioned on this articles on using your mind positively:


Everything starts in thought. And as Zig Ziglar puts it: "If you aren't getting what you want, you may have some stinking thinking."


Zig is right on the money. Your results (and that means ev
ery result you get) are nothing more than a reflection of what's going on inside your mind. If you are achieving great results, that means you have great thinking. However, if your results are not so good, you are getting exactly what you are thinking about.
Let me explain how this works. Donald Trump at one time lost everything he had and then some. He went deep into debt after having millions. It was an unfortunate time for Donald.


Instead of giving up and becoming a homeless person, he regrouped and came back in a few short years even wealthier and more powerful than ever. How did he achieve this? It was his thinking. He thinks like a billionaire. Poverty and being wiped out don't even cross his mind.


A big mistake that most people make is that they give up when the going gets tough, and say things like,"It's too hard" or "Money doesn't matter that much." These are nothing more than excuses.


But why do we have so many excuses? It is our conditioning! You have been programmed to think like a poor person instead of a rich person. Before you start blaming everyone around you, especially your parents, remember: It's nobody's fault. All those around you did the best they could with what they had. They couldn't give you what they didn't have.


I could blame my parents for my problems, but the truth is, they didn't have rich thinking to give me when I was struggling. The only thing they knew how to do was go get a job and work for someone else.


There is a bright side to this ...


You can change your thinking by reading good books, by listening to empowering tapes and CDs. Stop watching TV and listening to the radio with all that negative garbage! Fill your mind with things that will help improve your life. If you think watching Jerry Springer or soap operas on a regular basis is good for your mind, then there are only two words I have for you: You're Broke!


You know that what you feed your body is important. If you eat junk, you will feel terrible. Imagine eating McDonald's three times a day for the next 30 days. Do you think your body will have some adverse affects? You bet. The same holds true for your mind. You must feed your mind empowering material in order to succeed.


Listen to or read empowering material every single day for at least 30 to 60 minutes per day. You can listen to great tapes and CDs in your car while you drive. You can read a little bit before you go to bed or when you first get up. When you do this, you feed your mind, and soon your will produce much better results.


What you think is real is your reality. Whatever you think and say is real becomes your reality. It was this ability to expend your reality that ultimately made you wealthy. – Robert Kiyosaki

Secret #3 - Fire Your Boss Slowly

Will it be nice to just wake up tomorrow, go to office and fire your boss right away? However, we do have bills that need to pay! We definitely do not want to set ourselves up for failure, do we.
Of course not.

In order to be successful in doing what we are passionate about, whether is to start a business, to start an income generating investment or even to serve a full time charitable board, is not to quite your job right away. The secret is to stay on with your current job while working on your passion part time, even if is only 30 minutes a day. The important is to work on your passion consistently. This is the part that most people will find it challenging. Consistency is the key. Planning a regular routine to work on your passion. The more consistent you are, the faster you become successful.

So, when can you quite your job?

You quite your job only when your income from your business or investment is greater than your earned income. By this time, you are most likely spending more time on your passion than your job. Your full time job has become part time and you no longer can afford to take away time that you could be spending on your passion.

When you get to this point and actually quit your job, you have now removed the lid on your income. The only limitation is your imagination.

Remember: If you can imagine it and believe it, you can achieve it!

What ever the mind of man can conceived and believed can be achieved. – Napoleon Hill
