AFA #62: Assurance in the Wait - Do Yourself a Favor... Get Rich! (Series Pt 3)

We are officially half way through the year!

Here's an analogy of how i'm feeling about this year.

I feel like i'm on the team you didn't see coming. The team flying under the radar all season then in the final game with only 5 minutes to the buzzer scores and wins it all! Can you relate?

Welcome back to "Assurance in the Wait". Today, we're exploring a topic that's often misunderstood: the pursuit of wealth. Let’s talk about why adopting a millionaire mindset can profoundly impact your life and career, even if your current reality doesn't reflect that yet.

I've always been a firm believer that I can achieve abundance. Before I ever made a substantial income, I was already practicing being rich—not by pretending, but by preparing.

This mindset shift is crucial and can completely transform your life and financial future because it makes you operate on a whole new level.

Rachel Rodgers, wrote a book "We Should All Be Millionaires," emphasizing the importance of this mindset. You might be asking, "Why aim for such a high goal? I just want to be comfortable" Becoming a millionaire isn't just about accumulating wealth; it's about adopting a mindset of abundance and aligning your actions with your highest aspirations. It is easy for us to say we don't want something when its not an option, but when it becomes an option because you've discovered a pathway and made it a goal, it's hard not to want it.

Your thoughts create your reality. By embracing millionaire thoughts, you open yourself to the vast possibilities and abundance the world has to offer. Instead of being confined by scarcity thinking, millionaire thoughts allow you to think big, dream bigger, and take bold steps toward your goals. It’s about cultivating a mindset that believes there is more than enough for everyone. Think about the times when you felt limited by your circumstances, perhaps when a promotion was out of reach, or when financial stress seemed overwhelming. By shifting your mindset to one of abundance, you begin to see opportunities where there once were obstacles. This isn't just wishful thinking; it's about training your brain to seek and seize possibilities.

Millionaires understand the importance of making decisions that align with their financial goals. They invest in their education, skills, and personal growth, knowing that these are key drivers of success. By making millionaire decisions, you’re investing in your future, leading to growth and opportunities that go beyond your current imagination. Imagine the times when you decided to cut back on professional development because it seemed too expensive or time-consuming. Those are the moments when adopting a millionaire's mindset can make a difference. Instead of viewing these investments as costs, see them as crucial steps towards your larger financial goals.

Setting boundaries is crucial for achieving financial success. Millionaires know their time, energy, and resources are valuable. By establishing clear boundaries, you protect your focus, productivity, and well-being. This means saying "no" to distractions and activities that drain your energy, allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters. Think about the numerous times you've felt overwhelmed by demands on your time, be it from work, family, or social obligations. Setting boundaries helps you prioritize your goals and ensures that your efforts are directed towards meaningful progress.

So, how do you maintain assurance that wealth and success are on the horizon, even if your current reality suggests otherwise?

Here are some strategies:

1. Visualize Your Success: Regularly visualize your goals and the steps you need to achieve them. Picture yourself overcoming obstacles and reaching your milestones. This practice keeps you focused on your end goals and reinforces a positive outlook.
2. Set Incremental Goals: Break down your large goals into smaller, achievable tasks. Celebrate each milestone, no matter how small, as a step toward your ultimate objective. This keeps you motivated and shows you that progress is being made. Surround Yourself with Positivity:
3. Connect with mentors, colleagues, and friends who support and inspire you. Positive influences are essential, especially when facing challenges.
4. Reflect on Past Successes: Look back on your past achievements and the obstacles you’ve already overcome. This reflection helps you appreciate your growth and reinforces your belief in your ability to succeed.
5. Practice Gratitude: Acknowledge the positive aspects of your life and career regularly. Gratitude shifts your focus from what’s lacking to what’s abundant, fostering a hopeful and optimistic mindset.

Your current situation might not reflect your ultimate goals, but by adopting a millionaire mindset, making strategic decisions, and setting clear boundaries, you're preparing for a future filled with abundance. The waiting period is not idle time; it's a crucial phase where you build the foundation for your future success. If you're inspired by this approach and considering a shift toward freelancing or consulting, now is the time to make a strategic move. With some guidance and confidence, you can start today. I’ve gone through this transformation and am now in a position to help others do the same.
