The Business End

Millionaire Consciousness

by Mary Berroteran

Would you believe that there is only one word you need to change in your thinking, and in your speech that will completely change your life and prosperity? The word we need to change is IF.

  • If I had little more money I could go back to school.
  • If I had a little more time I could write that novel…
  • If my boss gave me a raise then I could...
  • How many times have you thought or said the word <">If? We use it when we express to ourselves or others why we are not following our dreams.

    The Millionaire Difference

    Millionaires do not operate in the world of "If." The rest of us use this word, A LOT. We used this word, to prevent us from following our dreams, from living our vision, and from taking action and being on mission. We combine this word with words like only, should of, could of and would of. Anytime we use these words we put the brakes on our thinking and accept our fears. Those words put a stop to imagination and the ability to create a different future for ourselves. Millionaires and other successful people use another word instead of "If." That word is "HOW."

  • How do I take the money I have and increase my business?
  • How do I fit into my schedule the time I need to write every day?
  • How can I create a plan that allows me to reach my publishing goals?
  • Asking "how" instead of "if" means that you accept that the possibility exists to create something different. It opens up your thought processes to possibilities instead of limitations. It deals with future thinking. It also, provides an opportunity for a solution. When we ask how we will accomplish something, we are holding on to hope. We are stepping out on faith. We believe in self and we open ourselves to an opportunity for the universe to answer the question.

    It is a positive question. I have never met a single successful person that does not ask the how questions? Successful people look at where they are right now and ask themselves how they will achieve their goals and then there dreams. How puts your feet on the road to somewhere and it leaves no time for whining.

    In working with millionaires I found that they all possessed six spiritual powers that when used helped them to create abundance in their lives. These are their hows.

    These powers are:

  • Letting Go
  • Imagination
  • Faith
  • Discernment and Understanding
  • Wisdom
  • Zeal (Enthusiasm)
  • Letting Go

    First decide what you want type of writing do you want to do. You may already have a good idea. If not, ask yourself the following questions:

    The first use of the power of letting go for us is to let go of is our "IF" thinking. As we cover the other powers you will see that there will be other opportunity for letting go.

    Imagination

    We must use imagination to answer the <">How's in our life. We cannot even begin to know which hows to answer if we do not have a vision and a mission. A mission statement defines your purpose for being on this planet. Vision answers the question; "What do you want for yourself?" You need to answer that question in all areas of your life. You need to let go of small thinking and think big,big,big!.

    Discernment and Understanding

    Having discernment and understanding means having the ability to choose an outcome and to know that good is beneath everything regardless of appearance. What do I mean by that?! Millionaires use discernment to pick between situations with different risks. They do their best to pick the best solutions to what they want. They know that even if they make a poor choice and it costs them big they will recover and that there is still good in the world and in their lives.

    They do not base there entire lives on any given choice. You increase your ability to be discerning through connecting with the Divine source. Connect, and listen. What you hear is intuition. How do you know if you are being guided by spirit or by ego? If guided by spirit, you have a peace about it and it will be good for all involved in the choice.

    Understanding is also built up knowledge. Every successful person I know is constantly pursuing more knowledge. Understanding is also an underlining awareness that even if something goes wrong, in the end things will turn out good. Some call this optimism but from what I have seen it goes deeper than that. It is a true knowing that what will happen in their lives will be ultimately good for them and for others. I believe that stems from wisdom

    Wisdom

    The wisdom we are talking about here is not book knowledge but rather a deep knowledge an inner knowing. Charles Filmore, founder of the Unity movement says this about wisdom, "when we discover in ourselves a flow of thought that seems to have been evolved independently from reasoning process, we are often puzzled about it's origin and it's safety as a guide. In the beginning this seemingly strange source of knowledge is often turned aside as a daydream again it seems a distant voice, an echo of something that we have heard and forgotten. One should give attention to this unusual and usually faint whispering of Spirit in man." Most millionaires when asked will tell you that they trust themselves and their inner knowledge. Some will openly attribute that inner voice to God. Others will not. It does not matter. Gravity works whether we call it gravity or not and so does spirit. Millionaires truly believe in themselves and their potential.

    Zeal (enthusiasm)

    All successful people have zeal especially successful writers. They love what they do and they do what they love. They can motivate themselves because they truly love what they do. They can impress their editors and agents because they love what they do and can explain it. They have no trouble spending hours doing what they do because they LOVE it. It is exciting and interesting to them. They are constantly expressing enthusiasm in their lives because they choose to live their lives doing all the things they love. Loving all the friends and family they have. Giving to all the causes they feel excitement about. Having fun pursuing their personal development. Working in jobs that let them express to their fullest their purpose and mission. They have a vision for their lives and they are living it. Abundance flows to them because they are fully expressing their highest potential and the rest of us are attracted to it and them. They bring excitement. They have what we want.

    There you have it. Millionaire Consciousness One final note: Remember where power really is. It is the peaceful. omnipresent wisdom, eternally revealing inside of you. BELIEVE!
