"Can You Imagine Yourself A Millionaire?"

Can You Imagine Yourself A Millionaire?

Maybe some of you are already there, but for
those of us who are not. Do you think you can
achieve it?


From Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow rich"
One must realize that all who have accumulated great
fortunes first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping,
wishing, desiring and planning before they acquired
money.
Remember.........all who succeed in life get off to a bad
start and pass thru many heartbreaking struggles before
they "arrive".

The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually
comes at the moment of some crisis thru which they are
introduced to their "higher selves".

      If your answers sound the same, that is good, You know what
      you believe.

      I guess a million dollars is not so much anymore.

      You are right about athletes & celebrities. Some have
      blown 100 million or more. Amazing!

    not so amazing when you here the stories over and over

    looking at the stuff about head injuries and concussions in footbal..yea these guy make a lot of money..but the way they earned it and the damage it does to there health..many end up losing everything ..

    mike tyson..made 500 million or so in prize money and i think he is flat broke .

    micheal jackson..was in huge debt before he died .. but by dieing he stopped going in debt and his stuff made a bunch of money..

    i know i know ..what does this have to do..with the post..

    if you are going to imagine youself as a million aire ..start by sweeping to the side much of what you think a millionaire lives like

    i have learn to focus on my ideal lifestyle and expand that as i ad money and skills to it and save money to build assests ..

    right now i have almost no money so i visualize it ..when a work up to a little money ill move to where i want to live and start one of the business/icomes i want ..and hope to work up to enough to buy a few acres of land 5-10 ..and put in place more income streams ..and so on ..

    the job i am doing no is very repetitive work that gives mw plenty of ti to visualize the details

      Good! When you make your millions, you will know
      what to do with it!

      Perhaps it is much harder to keep money than to make it?

      We must know how to invest it, grow it and not blow it.

    to do this you must do a few simple things on a daily bases.

    1.Stop all things negative (change your friends tell family and loved ones to you will not tolerate their being negative.

    2.Do not chase wealth chase happiness. If you ignore a girl or man at the bar she/he will be more attracted to you. Money is the same way act as if you don't want it to have it. You should care more about being happy and bringing happiness to others.

    3. Get your EGO in check. More to the point meditate. Come to grips with what is getting in the way of your happiness and then attach that with all you are and eliminate those things that hold you back.Examples would be, Pessimism, Laziness, Just sleeping in too late, not exercising and so on.

    4. READ, you must have knowledge to achieve everything listed above and all things that you will come into contact with as you move into your created future. You must anticipate there will be things you will not know, so no time like the present to read, read, and then keep reading. Learn something new every day.

    5. Give and Give plenty, without this you will never be happy with your new found wealth. it does not mean to give money alone, share with people your success story, share your wisdom. be thinking at all times who can you help as this will attract like minded people.

    6.Go to bed every night being thankful from your heart and in-vision the next day being perfect.

    Done, now go be the creator you were meant to be!

    Not everyone wants to be a millionaire.

    Many people just want to be able to earn an extra $2,000-$5,000 per month.

    Now, if you think you can't achieve that $2,000-$5,000 per month income and have doubts, you need to change your mindset and brainwash yourself to see yourself as being worthy and able to achieve that goal. Your subconscious mind has to see it before it can happen.

    Then when you really believe you can, then you will find strategies that will help you get there.

      Quite so! Perhaps there is not that much of a difference in
      making 5k a month and being a millionaire.

      In either case, one has to be successful and positive. Then it
      is just a matter of degree.

      many people are just fine going after a slightly better more comfortable day to day experience ..and get messed up when people try to get them thinking about the millionaire ore multi millionaire experience..it is really something most have to grow into ..

      civilization is basically the control of large population through the use of money taxes and laws ..and most humans are left with just enough to get by on while some don't have enough..and a few have more than enough .

      why america has so many people with mental problems..with over 60 percent of the population is on some medication..is because we are constantly placed in a state so that what we don't have makes us miserable..and we never really enjoy what we do have ..

      we even stress out about what we are eating when so many people and children especially in the US go to bed with no food

      by most stander in the US i am poor..but i have a place to live cloths wo wear i am a damn good cook and eat pretty well ..i just don't have much money or many thing .. I am in the process of changing that though

      i had to find out how i could be happy without having money

      Money can't buy happyness..but i am working with some people who are sleeing outside in the freezing cold a few days a week because the shelter is full.. and man this guy works as hard as 4 people .

    Those that believe they will be very successful will be very successful.

    Those who believe they will be a failure will turn out to be a failure.

    Do you believe you are worthy enough to be successful?

      To try to be rich is OK, as long as you don't compromise
      the quality of your life.

      Hi Leonardi,

      If you know you can and know how, that is a great
      start.

      Another thread was about "taking action". That would
      be the cure for laziness. I understand. I can be VERY
      lazy if I don't monitor myself!

      By taking action you are bound to learn something;
      you are bound to fail and learn from your mistakes.

      The springboard for taking action is up to you.
      Maybe make a "to do" list. That helps me. Or
      maybe reward yourself when you take an action.
      This, you must do yourself. You must somehow
      motivate yourself. No on can do it for you.

  • Well I must say imagining is something that gives you positive approach to set a goal for you in your life. Once cannot succeed without setting some milestones in life. Its not about earning bread for you or living a peaceful average life.

    If one can only imagine and not try then they remain as a day dreamer. But working hard and achieving something in the end is what we all have to look-out for, I am a hard work dreamer and millionaire who is constantly looking forward for success

    To be honest, I don't see myself as a millionaire but only because I don't want to be one. I do see myself living a good life with good money and happiness. Personally I think becoming a millionare requires a lot of time, and effort. At times it requires sacrifices of friends and family as well, I am not just ready to pay that price.

    As long as I have enough to live a decent life, I don't mind not having a million dollars.

      I am on my way to my first Million.

      Beliefs are the ONLY thing that holds us back.

      This person 'believes' that they will have to 'sacrifice' friends and family to become a millionaire.

        Hi Rory,

        Could be a problem if one commits all his time to work and
        ignores friends and family.

        But not if one keeps his priorities straight.

      Hi Ghost,

      As Napoleon Hill and Paramahansa Yogananda have said:
      "Thoughts are things." How true!

      Does not everything originate in the mind, in thought? Then,
      we have to use initiative and fortitude to put our plan
      into action.

      Hi Edson,

      Righto! Who wants to live with a negative attitude?

      I am reading "The Everything Store" about Amazon &
      Jeff Bezos. He made a bazillion mistakes but it has
      never bothered him. Amazing. He either laughs it off
      or learns a great lesson or both.

      Yes, can anyone be successful until he has failed. I am reading
      about Jeff Bezos and Amazon (the Everything Store). He had
      so many failures it is hard to believe.

      He is a bit of a hard a** but he is unstoppable because of his
      confident attitude.

      Keep on, keeping on!

      Be Well

    Great post! This makes me want to go pull my Napolean Hill book out and read through some of my favorite parts just to refresh... but I can certainly see myself as a millionaire...

    Like my mother tells me... you have to believe in yourself first... before anyone else does!

      Hi Sunny,

      I enjoy browsing TAGR regularly. Great stuff!

      Nice that you get support from your mother. I would not
      know how that feels.........at least not for my Internet
      pursuits.

      Be Well

    Over 12 years online, I actually made about a million, then I SPENT it. Dumb mistake. Won't do that again. Now I'm a thousands-aire and I'm starting over and I have a few plans in motion.

    I can see it, because I've done it before. Anyone who can't, I suggest, see what you can, and give it everything you have to GET IT, then you'll see some more. I never saw a million, but I saw 20k a month and I got it eventually.

      Hi Lowriskinc,

      You spent it, big deal! You are making more.

      Some smart investments will help you grow it
      before you blow it!

    I always believe that I can make a difference in my life. But in order to become a millionaire someday, I should think like a millionaire, and I should equip myself with a rich man's mindset. One thing that started all this is training, learning, motivating and educating myself and apply all of what I have learned. Being a millionaire takes time, as I need to go under process where I can experience rejections, objections and several failures before I succeed. Until now I am still doing it, and I know I am getting there, because I believe that one day I am a millionaire just like the other gurus here.

    I think the crisis is also necessary to come out of the usual comfort zone. We can imagine and visualize all day long, mumble affirmations until exhausted and work like crazy, but if we are afraid to get out of the comfort zone, we get nowhere. Our inner programming stays the same, and it thwarts all our efforts. It's like a ship that speeds the engine up and sounds the horn, but never leaves the port. Leaving the port is scary, and crisis serves by forcing us into doin what we otherwise would not.

      Hi Sunray,

      Nice post! How true, I have not been comfortable for
      years. But I can see the benefit of expanding my abilities,
      day-by-day.

      After awhile, it is not so scary anymore.

    I used to.... but as I am getting older, I become more and more realized that it is harder than I thought. I have tried different things and none really work (e.g. started new websites, getting a business coach, going to entrepreneur meetups, surrounded myself with liked-mind people). To me starting a side business (not include consulting / contractor job) is not easy.
    But I have learned tremendously thru my past experience. I just keep trying... life is kind of boring if you don't try and learn new things.

      Hi Kescape,

      Keep at it! As they say, "Fail better."

      Keep failing and learning from your failures and
      one day it will start to break for you.

      We don't have to be millionaires to be happy.

      • Imagine ourselves being millionaire? The easiest thing in the world.


        Imagination in itself is like a muscle. The more you work it out, the more ideas you can generate. The challenge lies elsewhere; in trying to make any idea a reality. In the decision to take on a journey where – at times – you won’t know what’s ahead.

        Having an idea – big or small - is a starting point. What you’ll want to make of it, and how you’ll make it happen will define your journey. Most importantly, the problem this idea will solve or help solving will define its value (financial and else).

        Being a millionaire? Sure is possible. How? Pick a problem, find the best solution possible for it and give it a try.


        No impossible lasts forever when taken on by a lit up imagination.
        History proves it everyday.

          Imagination + will power + perseverance = success.

    As of the moment, I can't imagine myself as a millionaire. From one of the posts before, I just see myself getting to the 5000 a month right now. Maybe I could work from there.

    Also thinking that I would be a millionaire is making me ask myself, what would be the difference? I just don't see anything different in terms of mentality. When I realize I have millions would be the day that I have lost it.

      Hi Write One,

      Hey 5k a month is great! The thing about the net that
      is weird is that once you start making money, you can
      make a lot.

      Bur, doggone, it is hard to get the money stream flowing!

      Hi Days of Digital,

      I like that quote also.

      It does not, however, seem dark to me.

      True, I do not enjoy crisises but they do inspire
      me to improve, to do better.

    Really I what I imagine is enough truly passive income and positive cash flow to only work because I am inspired to. I picture myself truly financially free.

    You can be a millionaire and still have so many expenses that you *have* to work. Also, if you don't invest your millions wisely and keep expenses low a million can go very quickly. I've seen this happen in real life.

      Hi Dndoseller,

      Freedom trumps wealth. Absolutely. How many
      of the wealthy are slaves to many things.

      And, for those wealthy souls who commit suicide,
      something is drastically wrong.

      But, if we use our money to help others and to
      be financially free ourselves, that is a blessed
      way to live.

    I've always imagined myself to be a millionaire. I'm nearly half way there now since I have $400,000 in savings and my internet marketing businesses earn over $10k a month altogether. I usually look at motivational videos on YouTube that tell you that it's possible and that it's about your character.

    One thing that helped me was my motivation to buy a Lamborghini Aventador. I've watched POV videos that make it look like you're in the front seat. The reason I watch these kind of videos is because if I visualise being in the front seat of one, I'll be able to do it in real life.

      Hi Product Review Guy,

      Very impressive. But is the Lamborghini a good
      buy right now?

      There are 3 basics types of people:

      1) Those who work for others
      2) Those who manage others
      3) Those who mange money

      Instead of the 200k or thereabouts for the luxury
      car, if you invest that money and turn it into a
      couple of million, that would be better.

      Maybe buy the car after you have about 10 million.
