Be 100% Committed

Hi Friends,

We have come to last habit of a millionaire lecture series by Adam Khoo, i.e.
Millionaire Habit 7: Be 100% Committed.

If you have missed the earlier Millionaire Habits, I compile it for you here:
Millionaire Habit 1 : Always Exceed Expectations
Millionaire Habit 2 : Be Proactive
Millionaire Habit 3 : Take 100% Responsibility
Millionaire Habit 4 : Delayed Gratification
Millionaire Habit 5 : Love What You Do
Millionaire Habit 6 : Acting With Integrity

You see, many people want to be rich. Many people want to be successful. But most people are also simply lazy. Lazy but yet want to be rich. Lazy but yet want to be successful. But common sense will tell us that is just not possible. There is no such thing such as get-rich-quick scheme. We have to accumulate habits that empower us to have the right mindset to be a millionaire or to be successful in anything in life. So do you have the right habits? Do you have the right mindset?

My only wish is that by sharing these lecture series by Adam Khoo, many people including you and me will get enlightened and empowered so that we all can improve and be a better person with the right mindset, especially when it comes to our financial intelligence.

So without further ado, here it comes, the millionaire habit number 7. Enjoy it!

Millionaire Habit 7: Be 100% Committed
(by Adam Khoo)

There is a very big difference between wanting to become a
millionaire and being 100% committed to becoming a millionaire.

When you merely want, wish or hope to achieve a goal, it will
rarely ever happen. Think about it. Everybody wants to be
financially fre-e, but very few ever make it happen.

Studies after studies have shown that people who achieve phenomenal
success and wealth did not just want it, they were 100% committed
to achieving it. When you are 100% committed to a goal, it is no
longer a wish, a hope or a want...it becomes an absolute MUST.

You see, when something becomes an absolute MUST to you, it gets
you to operate from a totally different frame of mind. When
something is a MUST, it will become your number one priority and
nothing will ever come in its way until that goal is accomplished.

When something is a MUST, you will do whatever it takes to get it
(within limits of integrity of course)! Even if it means stretching
way beyond your comfort zone and investing time, energy or money,
you will do whatever it takes.

I believe that when you are willing to do whatever it takes to get
something, you will ALWAYS find a way. And if you cannot find a
way, you will make a way.


For example, when George Lucas (millionaire at 28 and creator of
Star Wars) wanted to revolutionize film making by creating the
special effects required for the space battle scenes for Star Wars,
the technology did not exist.

Everybody told him that what he wanted to do couldn't be done.
Instead of accepting the comfort of reality, his total commitment
to making his dream come true was to set up his own company,
Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) to create the special effects
required for his own movie.

You see, when something is a 'must', anything can be achieved. At
the same time, when you make financial fre-edom and security a must
for you and not just a wish, you will achieve it. When something is
a must, our brain gets us to tap our fullest potential to make it
happen.

The trouble is that becoming financially abundant is rarely a must
for most people. It is merely a wish. However, it is always a must
to survive...and that it why most people merely survive.

So once again, to achieve all your financial goals, you have to
make it a must for yourself. How do you make something a 'must'?

The answer is by putting yourself on the line. When you put
yourself in situation where you give yourself no choice BUT to
succeed, you very often will.

If you study the life stories of millionaire history makers, many
of them came to a point in their lives where they put themselves on
the line and staked everything they had.

And because they had NO CHOICE but to succeed, they often did it
against insurmountable odds.

So do whatever it takes, make success and achieving your goals a
MUST and I will guarantee that your wealth will multiply many-fold.
