Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
Rich people see every dollar as a “seed”
that can be planted to earn a hundred

to earn a thousand more dollars.
The trick is to get educated. Learn about the investment 
world. Become familiar with a variety of different investment 
vehicles and financial instruments, such as real estate, 
mortgages, stocks, funds, bonds, currency exchange, the whole 
gamut. Then choose one primary area in which to become an 
expert. Begin investing in that area and then diversify into 
more, later.
It comes down to this: poor people work hard and spend all 
their money, which results in their having to work hard 
forever. Rich people work hard, save, and then invest their 
money so they never have to work hard again.
DECLARATION:

“My money works hard for me and makes me more 
and more money.” 
 
Touch your head and say...
“I have a millionaire mind!”
