Getting the Millionaire Mindset

One thing people often fail to realize is the work that successful people put in. They only seem to recognize the one business or idea that has helped them get where they are today.

Not only was creating that business or sculpting that idea a tremendous amount of work, but almost always there has been hours and hours put into training their minds to recognize the opportunities. It takes no training or money to get started, just an open mind paying attention to the world around.

I take time every day to try and recognize new potential streams of income. They’re so many possibilities out there such as:

• Websites
• Restaurants
• Rental Properties
• Homemade Products
• Baked goods
• Services
• Pet Care

I could go on and on about all the different ways but that is not the point of this post. The reason for this post is to encourage you to look for those avenues yourself! At first, you will have to try to come up with the ideas yourself, but soon you will be seeing opportunities all around you! I would encourage you to each day, try to recognize at least 3 different ways for additional income. You don’t necessarily need to act upon these, but once you realize how easy some of them are, it might be hard to resist!

If you have any other ideas you would like to share, please do not hesitate to let me know in the comments!

Also, if you are looking for a good read, my personal favorite is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Everytime I read it, it helps re-open my eyes and inspire me to control my own financial freedom!

 

How To Grow Your Blog

How to grow your blog:

Step 1: Stop reading this because I have no idea what I’m doing.

I know I haven’t been blogging all that long, but I have not been able to find a helpful page on how to grow on wordpress. They pretty much all just say to post awesome content. Is my content awesome? Even when I’ve gone to popular forums looking for advice nobody will respond.

I want to learn, I really do. If I continue posting the way I have been will people enjoy it?

If anyone has any advice or links to good articles about writing blogs I would really appreciate it.

The Best Way To Predict The Future Is To Create It

  
  I don’t go on social media all that often, but everytime I do I see people complaining about how miserable their lives are. I know that we all have rough patches in our lives. I myself, would’ve never expected to be in the position I am in a million years, but it was the decisions I made that brought me here. 

I feel that people get so caught up in how miserable they think their lives are, when in reality most of them aren’t even that bad, and they forget to look forward. They are so focused on what could have been that they don’t pay attention to where they are going, which only ends up making things worse.

I know where I am and things aren’t great. But I made the choices that brought me here and I still know where I am going. I feel that I am one of the few my age that still dream. To me though, it’s more than a dream because I know that I have the power to turn it into a reality. Some people say “I want to be this or that”, but when I talk to people I tell them I AM going to be a millionaire by the time I’m 30.

Currently I have a job and bills to pay with almost nothing at the end of every month. But my future is in my control and nobody can change that.

I will be a millionaire by the time I’m 30.

Stocks and other “Paper” Investments

“If you hate risk and worry, start early.” – Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This is particularly true when talking about stocks because the prices can fluctuate so much. Luckily there are many ways to counter this risk especially if you start early. This won’t only make you more accustomed to the risk, but it will be less risky as you gain experience.

Many stocks, especially larger companies, offer whats called a “Dividend”. A “dividend” is money paid by a company to its shareholders. This is typically out of the companies profits and is done quarterly. These are generally an okay to start growing your money even if you don’t have enough to make a downpayment on a house. Some stocks offer up to 10% dividends. This may not sound like much but it sure beats the .05% many banks are paying! Plus, while there is the chance that the stocks can drop, the stock market has been growing at an average of 8% as well giving you added value on the stock.

If the stock market sounds like to much risk there are still great opportunities to get you started. Another very simple way is using CD’s. These I do not like nearly as much because A. they do not earn nearly as much and B. they are not very liquid at all.  Liquid meaning you can not get access to the money invested until the term of the CD has ended or unless you pay a fee which will almost certainly be more than the interest you’ve accumulated. That being said it’s still one of the easiest. All you have to do is go to the bank, put some money in, and wait.

One way many people like to use paper assets is investing in Mutual Funds. These are not immune to risk, however your relying on a professional money manager instead of you own knowledge. These take a little bit more research than just putting money in a CD, but can offer much greater rewards.

Fitness in the Modern World

The world has changed a lot in the last few years and now we are more aware of the need to be in shape. We can now see a larger number of fitness clubs coming out and thousands of people joining cross fit challenges all over the world. The importance of exercise is truly something to consider if you want to be healthy and have the right amount of energy to handle any task that you need to do every day. People are finding out that a sedentary life is going to have serious consequences in their life at a younger age than most people expect. This is the reason why fitness has become such an important part of modern culture and this is definitely a good thing.

There are many different ways people can get their exercise in. Some people like to go to a gym, join a sports team, or even just take walks around the block. The important thing is that they are getting the exercise in.Sometimes a nice walk around the park is just what you need after a stressful day. A healthy lifestyle can lead to a longer happier life so don’t forget to take care of yourself and get some exercise in!
