Three Simple (But Not) Easy Steps to Becoming a Millionaire

Three Simple (But Not) Easy Steps to Becoming a Millionaire

by Brandon Turner

True or false: running a marathon is simple?

False.

It’s not easy — but it’s definitely simple.

There is a monumental difference between simple and easy. Simple means there are relatively few (or no) complicated steps needed to accomplish a task, whereas easy implies the task doesn’t require much effort.

Running a marathon is simple: Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Staying up for 60 hours straight is also simple: Keep your eyes open.

Holding your breathe for five minutes underwater is likewise simple: Just sit at the bottom of the pool and don’t breathe. These are all simple tasks, but not easy ones.

Another task that is simple but not easy is becoming a millionaire.

That’s right; becoming rich is not complicated, despite what people tend to think. Because wealth-building is not an accident, but an action.

I recently published the most in-depth article I’ve ever written, titled “How to Become a Millionaire”, and in it, I argued that becoming a millionaire is not easy but it is simple. In fact, it takes just three steps.

1. You must believe wealth is actually possible for you. 
The primary reason people do not become wealthy today is plain and simple: they do not believe it is possible.

Perhaps they have not uttered those words out loud, but deep in their soul they believe that becoming rich is not in their cards.

In the personal development space, this is known as a “limiting belief.” In other words, it’s an opinion you have of yourself that your mind and body will not allow you to get past.

• If you believe you are a bad chess player, you will lose nearly every time.
• If you believe you are bad at running, you’ll never run a marathon.
• If you believe you can not (or should not) be a millionaire, you’ll never experience financial wealth.

Therefore, the first (and perhaps most important) step in becoming a millionaire is to believe that wealth is possible for you.

Becoming a millionaire has nothing to do with your background, your family, your age, your skin color, your intelligence, your location, or any other excuse you might have for not building wealth. Becoming a millionaire is not something that happens to you — it’s something you make happen.

If you know how it’s done. Which brings us to step number two, because belief alone is not enough.

2. You must learn how wealth is built.
Building wealth is not a mystery. It’s not something you stumble into. It’s not something you find.

Instead, wealth building is a process that can be studied, learned, and mastered.

This is why you’ll often hear highly successful people say, “The first million is the hardest.” Like riding a bike, once you learn it, you can repeat it over and over for the rest of your life.

Of course, there are a LOT of ways to build wealth and they generally fall into one of three buckets: personal finance, business, and real estate. There are millions of examples in each of those three buckets where people have risen from nothing to become millionaires. Personally, I used all three to acheive a million dollars in net worth, but you might only choose one or two. The point is — pick a bucket that works for you and learn how it is done.

There are a lot of ways to learn how to build wealth from one of these fields, including:

• books
• podcasts
• seminars
• blog posts
• mentors
• webinars
• courses
• audio programs
• and more

Each of these methods differ in the presentation, but they all have two things in common:

1. They help you get inside the mind of someone who has already acheived what you are trying to achieve
2. They all have the need for YOU to take the action. No one is going to do the learning for you.

Once you have step number one mastered (you believe that wealth is possible for you) and you’ve done your homework on step number two (learning how wealth is built), it’s time to move onto the third and final step in becoming a millionaire.

3. You must take daily action 
Let’s pretend for a moment you are baking a pie.

You might have the belief that you can bake that pie.

You might have the recipe for baking that pie.

But let’s be honest: The pie is not going to bake itself. You need to get in the kitchen and start cooking.

The same is true for becoming a millionaire. You can believe you can build wealth and learn the steps to do so — but still fail if you don’t take action.

Action will always be the final key to success. Without it, you have nothing. No one is going to give you a million dollars, no matter how smart, talented, or lucky you are. You have to get out there and work for it.

Specifically, this means taking daily action.

A lot of people believe that the secret to success is found in “big events” — the lottery, a big business sale, the purchase of an apartment complex — but in reality, it’s found in daily tasks that are combined together to create that big event.

For example, I didn’t become a millionaire overnight. I spent a decade building up my rental portfolio, climbing in attics, crawling under houses, doing math, reading books, taking experienced investors out to lunch, and in every other way mastering the vehicles I chose to take me from poverty to wealth.

Little by little, every day, action becomes progress, and progress turns to results.

—————

Becoming a millionaire is not rocket science, but it’s not going to happen to just everyone. You have to believe in your heart that it’s possible, get the recipe for success, and work until you’ve achieved it.

If you found this post helpful, I’d only ask one thing: please share it on your favorite social media channel. Let your family and friends know that wealth is not an accident, it’s an action.

IT BEGAN IN IBADAN! ;THE ICE BREAKER

It's a great day! It's my birhday! And today amidst the calls, messages and gifts from friends and loved ones and organizations, I am actually 28 years healthier and wealthier today.  Today is the best day to share with you , my ice breaker - an introductory Toastmaster speech I delivered on the 11th December,2014.
Please enjoy it, comments and feed backs are welcome!

IT BEGAN IN IBADAN!

ICE BREAKER : IT BEGAN IN IBADAN by TM Emmanuel Ayeni, Speech project presented at TM Merit,Ikeja.

IBADAN is the larget city in Nigeria, West Africa. Earl Nightingale was right when he said “Everything begins with an idea” but I must say for me everything began in the great city of Ibadan on the 29th of December more than 2 Decades ago. For amidst much anticipation and expectation, that Monday morning at Oluyoro Catholic Hospital, a young woman who had undergone over 18 hours of prolonged labour faced the possibility of a Caesarian section. However, thanks to prayers of friends and family members and God’s timely intervention-just at the nick of time, she put to bed a healthy, handsome bouncing baby boy and the joyful cries of anew born child filled the entire ward. So on that beautiful day, a great light shone over the city of Ibadan as I Emmanuel Oluwadunsin Ayeni was born into the large and lovely Ayeni Family at Yemetu Ibadan.
I AM the second born in a family of Six. And for me growing up was fun and lots of learning. After the creation of states in 1991,I left my Grandparents in Ibadan and joined my parents in Osogbo to continue my primary school education. So I lived and schooled in Osogbo with my parents and siblings before my University education. Many people have different opinions about life; some say life is a marketplace, some say life is a battle field while others think it’s a game, what do you think? I believe life is a precious gift from God, a great privilege and much more an exciting journey.This is the reason I have decided to live it to the fullest. My love for life and adventure is wrapped up in 4 keywords ; Books, Travel, People and most importantly God. I love Travel. St. Augustine said life is a bookhe who has not travelled has read but a page. “I have travelled far and wide” this reminds me of a speaker who once boasted before his audience “I have travelled to india, Italy, Oklahoma, Philadelphia, in fact, I have travelled far and wide!, so a young student stood up and said “Sir, You must really know Geography” “Yes!” the man answered “You see, Geography is a very beautiful country”. So having been to over 10 of the 36 states in Nigeria, including the FCT, and several other places on pages of magazines, books and internet, I can jokingly say I have travelled far and wide, and I hope to do more travels in the future. There are many reasons why I like travelling, Some are; the sense of adventure, the opportunity to meet people of varying cultures and try new dishes-I love good food. Travelling has been said to make people natural story tellers and since I like to write,a sage once said Travelling is an aphrodisiac of writing. In order to see more of the world, I am making plans with friends to travel more in the coming year by God's grace.
My love for books and and writing began when my Mum taught me to read. First I learnt to read the brown, old Yoruba Bible in our room and then to devouring a couple of English story books I could find around. My interest in writing led me into the art of diary keeping , which has today grown into my many daily inspirational articles on my blog, with over 10 published in the Saturday Punch Newspaper couple of years ago. I kept diaries at different parts of my life, Keeping a journal helps me reflect and at times relive some other wonderful memories. I believe it helps us engage the 4 human endowments according to Stephen Covey; Self Awareness, Conscience, Independent Will and Creative Imagination. This art of keeping a diary has helped my writing skills and has been instrumental to my journey as an inspirational blogger and hopefully, very soon a best-selling author and renown speaker. Many of the diaries I kept got lost, some I kept and a few got me into trouble. I remember an instance when my diary brought me into trouble. I always wanted to learn swimming especially after a wonderful time with cousins at Lagos country club swimming pool during an holiday. It was a nice experience, so I got back to osogbo as a secondary school student and developed an habit of going with some friends to the Osun River to swim after school hours. On one of these occasions I met a boy called Shina who advised me to go to a deeper extension of the river – Elewure river, He recounted how many students have drowned there but that it was a perfect place to learn. I got back home and recorded my experience in my little diary , planning when I was going to go to the new stream to swim. Unknown to me my parents had been warned strongly in church by a strong spiritual warning- a prophecy about a kid in the house undertaking some risky ventures, we all wondered who that could be, until my diary was found and my escapades read by my mum, It’s needless to say what happened next, but that was the last time I went to the river, Today I I know there are many beautiful pools I continue to practice in.
My love for people is reflected in my desire to always meet new people and to help people solve their problems. I believe in our society today Engineers are great problem solvers and solution providers, So my study of Electrical and elwctron Engineering has set me on the right paths to help my world continue to develop and implement better ways of getting things done and achieving desired results. Overtime I have come to discover that Business is about filling people’s needs , So I have decided to continue to be in business,Hence, my desire to build my own business organization. I believe life is a journey and we continuoslylive and evolve through life. My life’s goal and mission is to inspire lives and organizations to greatness .I want to help create a world of solutions by expressing God’s glory in me and I want to equally help others do the same. In my life time id esire to be an accomplished Electrical Engineer, a responsible family man, a transformational leader and a best selling Author of well over 70 books. I desire to build and develop Emmandus Networks by God’s grace into a global profitable Corporation. Many decades from now when I am off this planet, after I am old and gone, I want my condolence register to reflect vital values I hold dear like Greatness, Integrity, Faith and Interdepence. I hope that some day at my funeral, my wife, children, grand children, old colleagues, employees,friends and acquaitnaceswill say comments like ; "My Father was a great man; Grandpa was a great treasure in Godliness and Diligence.Emmanuel helped us connect between our hopes,ideas ,dreams and our desired results.You inspired and touched lives around the world, you built businesses, and raised leaders. Emmanuel Oluwadunsin AYENI has lived life to the fullest. He was God’s ambassador on earth.

THANK YOU!
