They Have Mentors
Most millionaires didn't become rich on their own. Rather, they found
people whose lifestyles they wanted to emulate and followed what those
people did. In other words, they found mentors.
Mentors are people who have already been there and already done that.
They've already made mistakes and broken barriers. While their success
won't become your success, they can show you what works and what
doesn't. On the road to financial success and wealth, you don't have to fail
in the same ways that other people have failed. You can find someone to
show you how to do things more efficiently and how to make better
financial decisions.
Try Success On For Size
How would you do things differently if you were a millionaire? I'm not
talking about what you would buy or what house you would live in. I'm

talking about the day-to-day choices that you would make, especially
concerning how you interact with people and with yourself. Start making
those choices now. You will be amazed at the change in how people see you
and in how you see yourself.
Would you dress differently? Maybe you fancy yourself wearing an Armani
suit every day. Maybe you would style your hair nicely and put on makeup
and jewelry every day. Start doing those things now! Maybe you can't
afford an Armani suit; if you can't, buying one would be a silly decision.
But start dressing for success. Wear a tie and sports jacket. Wake up 10
minutes earlier than you are used to so that you can do your hair and
makeup. Dress and present yourself as if you are millionaire material.
How would you treat people if you were a millionaire? Would you be more
generous? There is no need to wait to be generous and kind to others.
Maybe right now, you can't afford to give $50,000 to charity, but you can
give $50 or volunteer somewhere. You can tip your waiter or waitress
generously.
How would you treat yourself if you were a millionaire? If you have a lot of
negative self-talk — in other words, if you wouldn't talk to your best friend
or family members the way that you talk to yourself — you may envision
that you would talk to yourself and see yourself differently. Don't wait until
you have a lot of money to see yourself in a different light. Replace the
negative self-talk with positive affirmations about yourself and your
abilities.
Changing the way that you see yourself and the people around you will
create changes in how other people see you. When your co-workers see you
walk into work dressed nicely and polished every day when your friends
and family see you treat others and yourself with respect, when you see
yourself as a kind and generous person, you are on your way to having a
millionaire mindset.
