You already know that rich people think differently than middle class or poor people – in every facet of life. But especially when it comes to money. That's why they're rich. Their choices and decisions just naturally produce wealth.

Rich people think with their wealth files – beliefs and attitudes that produce wealth. A few months ago, we started installing those new wealth files into your mind.

With the new files come new choices. Remember that you can actually catch yourself when you're thinking like poor and middle class people. Then consciously shift your focus to think like rich people.

The concepts – the new files – you're learning are simple but very profound. They make real changes for real people in the real world.

These Action Steps are training your mind to think the way rich people think. You're well on your way to having a millionaire's beliefs and thought habits!

Just remember it's imperative you put each file into action as quickly as possible so that the knowledge can move to a physical, cellular level. So it can create lasting and permanent change.

So Here are Millionaire Mind Action Steps #7

Wealth File #4
Rich people think big.
Poor people think small.

There was a trainer at one of our seminars, not too long ago, who went from a net worth of $250,000 to over $6 million in only three years.

When we asked him what his secret was, he said, "Everything changed the moment I began to think big."

And the reason is simple. The more people you serve, the bigger your income.

Remember where, in Secrets of the Millionaire MindTM, I told you about my chain of fitness retail stores? Before I opened my first store, I intended to have a hundred successful stores. My competitor, on the other hand, had the intention of building only one successful store.

What was the result?

    • She sold a lot of product -- I sold a lot more.
    • She earned a decent living -- I got rich!

My question for you is this: Do you want to play in the big leagues?

Or do you want to play in the minors?

Do you want to play it big? Or play it safe?

You see, the reason most people don't choose to play it big is because they're afraid to.

But hear this: You don't have the right to play it small. Your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing your special gifts to others. To the world.

All your gifts were given to you for a reason; to use and share with as many people as possible. You need to start thinking bigger and decide to help massive numbers of people--thousands, even millions.

The more people you help, the "richer" you become, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and definitely financially.

But if you decide to indulge your ego and allow everything to revolve around you, you and nothing but you, you'll never live the life you were meant to live.

The world doesn't need more people playing small. It needs you to start playing it big.

Stop hiding out and start stepping out. Stop needing and start leading.

Start sharing your gifts. Stop hoarding them or pretending they don't exist.

It comes down to this: If not you, then who?

Small thinking and small actions lead to being broke and unfulfilled. Big thinking and big actions lead to having both money and meaning.

The choice is yours!

Action #1
Get out a notebook or a piece of paper and write down what you believe to be your "natural talents." These are things you've always been naturally good at. Also write how and where you can use more of these gifts in your life -- especially in your work life.

Action #2
Write down or brainstorm with a group of people how you can solve problems for ten times the number of people you affect in your job or business now. Come up with at least three different strategies. Think "leverage."

Action #3 - Declaration
Put your hand on your heart and say, "I think big! I choose to help thousands and thousands of people!"

Touch your head and say..."I have a millionaire mind."

Good job. Now practice this principle over the next 30 days and watch your mind, thoughts and financial life transform.

For your freedom,
