Have you ever noticed that some people are like human money
magnets? No matter what they do, wealth just seems to “stick” to them.
Take Donald Trump for example… he approaches making money like it’s a game.
This is the guy who built up a personal fortune of MILLIONS and MILLIONS of
dollars…
Then he decided to launch his most ambitious project yet… the ultra
expensive, ultra posh Trump Casino in Atlantic City. I heard a rumor that
this venture was so expensive that the mortgage payments worked out to
several $1,000 per SECOND! Insane…
Before long, Trump’s creditors came knocking, forcing Trump into near
bankruptcy. He almost lost everything and owed MILLIONS of dollars… But my
point is this – Trump didn’t let this stop him.
He had the mindset that money is something that simply sticks to him… and he
was confident that whatever he had lost, he could make back 10 times over.
And he did!
Trump is a human money magnet not because he’s smarter than you, or better
educated than you… he’s a self-made multi-millionaire because he has the
empowering mentality that money sticks to him wherever he goes and whatever
he does. So what’s YOUR money mentality? Do you attract wealth or drive it
away?
Some people spend most of their time thinking about what they can’t do or
what won’t work. Some people, perhaps a Rich Idiot like you, think about how
they can do something. In my early years of investing, most people told me
couldn’t buy a property or own my first duplex (my Rich Idiot beginnings
were in real estate) because I had no credit. Instead of listening to them,
I found a cosigner who had great credit to partner with. I found the deals
and my cosigner signed the loans with me so I could borrow the money I
needed. What a winning team!
Word of caution here: Make sure you’ve found a really good deal (take your
time and crunch those numbers) before you commit your credit or especially
someone else’s credit to a real estate deal.
Now cast your mind back to those moments in your own life–and you have them,
I know you do–when you accomplished something that people told you you never
would, or never could. Remember that feeling? Want to feel that way again?
Then stop thinking can’t and start thinking how.
