What would it take for you to develop a millionaire mindset?


Here’s how to develop a millionaire mindset in 90 seconds or less:
Imagine you have the opportunity of a lifetime to win one million dollars in a golf tournament.
These are the rules:
1.       You have one chance to get one golf ball inside a par-4 hole.
2.       You have four shots to get the ball inside the hole of an average par-4 hole on an average golf course. Not a super difficult task to achieve.
3.       You have only 48 hours to prepare for the event.
4.       No special precqualification’s as a golf player are required.
5.       If you complete the hole in four shots or less, you will win $1 million dollars.
6.       If you shoot five or more, you finish above par and you lose the chance to win.
What would you do?
Stop and think for a moment…

How would you spend those 48 hours previous to the event?
Pause and think… be honest.
Would you spend your time practicing all day long?
This is what a millionaire would do:
He would get on the phone and call the best golf players in the world and negotiate a deal.
“Hey master-golfer, would you like to earn $100,000 in 20 minutes on the golf course?”
“Sounds interesting. Tell me about it,” says the pro-golfer.
“Simple. If you get the ball in the hole at par or under par, I will pay you $100,000. If you don’t, you get nothing. An easy job for a pro like you!”
“Really? Is this a joke? That’s it?”
“No joke. That’s it!” says the millionaire.
“When do I meet you on the golf course?” says the pro.
“Let me call you back in a few hours to confirm the details with you.”
The millionaire would hang up and call as many experts as possible. He would get the BEST player to execute the job for him.
What are his odds of success? Exactly…

So, to answer your question, what would it take for you to develop a millionaire mindset?
When we people face a challenge, our first reaction is to ask: “how do I solve this problem.” That’s what our education system teaches us, HOW to solve problems.
Millionaires, on the other hand, DON’T ask “how.” They instead ask “WHO.”
Millionaires don’t do the work. They find experts to do the work for them.
Changing this small thing in your mindset will help you take a huge leap towards thinking like a millionaire. Remember, finding your WHO's will make your HOWs happen faster and cheaper than you could ever by yourself.

Why do millennial have more student loan debt than any other generation?

The lost generation: Today’s children get prizes and awards merely for participating — this sends a DANGEROUS message to kids: “We’re all winners.” This mindset is repeated continuously at the end of each project, event, or season. As a result, kids grow up expecting awards and praise just for showing up — (by the way, this sounds like socialism.) This mindset leaves kids terribly unprepared for the harsh realities of capitalism. Capitalism is ruthless. It rewards only winners, not just anyone that shows up to ‘work.’ Today, these kids are being offered an irresistible deal: “Go to college, and don’t worry; you can pay the massive college tuition with credit, and whenever you find a job with your ‘valuable’ degree, you can pay it back later.” “I MUST participate!” So, here they go to “participate,” at a mediocre college, to study a mediocre (and outdated) degree, to finally, AGAIN, get a “participation reward,” called a degree... Now, here comes real life: There’...

What happens to the founders after big tech acquisitions?

Whats App  was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum — both former employees of Yahoo! In September 2007, they took about a year off for traveling around South America. After buying an iPhone, they saw opportunity in the growing App Store. In February 2009, they incorporated Whats App Inc. in California. After many bugs and failures, the app suddenly started to gain momentum. With growth, however, the costs quickly started to add up, so they occasionally switched the app from "free" to $0.99 so they wouldn't grow too fast. A few years later, in February 2013, Whats App's user base had grown to about 200 million active users and 50 employees. Sequoia would invest $50 million, valuing Whats App at $1.5 billion. In February 2014, just a few months after Sequoia’s round, Facebook, Inc. announced it was acquiring  Whats App  for US$19 billion  — its largest acquisition to date. What happened to the founders after Whats App's acqu...
