How To Become A Millionaire In 7 Easy Steps

Who wants to be a millionaire?

Well if you want that million dollars, perhaps you’ll get lucky enough to land a spot on ABC’s popular game show bearing that name. Simply give the right answer to all the questions and you’ll walk away with the million dollar prize.

Or, you could get on a hot streak, pick the right 7 numbers and win the lottery. But unfortunately your chances of winning are 1 in 22 million…..so we’d better forget that.

But maybe you know about this incredible get rich quick plan where you don’t have to do much of anything, simply join up free, then in a year or so, you’ll be the Net’s newest millionaire. Well, if that plan has worked for you….please write me ASAP!

But for all the rest of us, we need some practical advice on what will really make us our fortune.

Making money is easy. There are mathematical laws that govern how money will work for you over time, reaping greater and greater rewards. These laws are laid out in detail in the book, “The Working Life Of A Dollar.”

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Write down your present monthly income and expenses. Next, see where you might be wasting money on foolish items. Where can you cut expenses and use that money for your future. Plan a monthly budget, and stick to it.

2. Get out of debt. Just as money compounds interest going up, it also drains money out of your pocket when you pay out interest. Only make purchases on your credit cards when you have the cash in hand to cover the expense. If you have a habit of over spending every month, cut your cards up!

3. Always pay yourself first. A minimum of 10% of your monthly income should be reserved for your future. The more you can pay yourself, the quicker your financial goals will be met.

4. Give a portion of your earnings to help others less fortunate.

Just as the mathematical laws governing the compounding of interest are unbreakable, this is a Spiritual law that is unbreakable. You must be willing to freely give before you can rightfully expect something to come back to you.

5. Pick a proven investment vehicle to place your money. The easiest investment is to pick a top performing diversified domestic growth mutual fund. Your fund should have averaged a rate of return of at least 20% over the last 3 to 5 years.

Spend $1.00 and pick up a copy of the Investor’s Business Daily newspaper. Every day they publish a mutual funds table. Only choose a fund that is A rated or better.

6. Invest monthly into this fund and reinvest all dividends. Many people do not have the discipline to save money every month. If this is the case, choose the option to have money automatically deducted from your paycheck or checking account.

7. Don’t panic. Understand there are business cycles and market cycles. Bear markets typically last from 9 months to 2 years.

Buy as many shares of your fund as possible during Bear markets.

Big returns are always made by sitting through several market cycles. To get these returns you must have the patience and belief to sit tight and add to your holdings during down market cycles.

That’s it! Simple and easy to do. Now all you have to do is get started.

We have put up a special Web page for you that will explain all about funds and exactly how to pick the right fund for your objectives.

1. Write down your monthly income and expenses. 2. Get out of debt.
3. Always pay yourself first. 4. Give to help others.
5. Pick a quality diversified, domestic growth mutual fund. 6. Invest in it regularly. 7. Don’t panic.

If you would like an experienced investor to assist in planning your financial future, or need a hand in choosing the right fund for your investment objectives…..

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR “HARD-EARNED” MONEYCraig Lock

“Whatever you have, spend less” - Samuel Johnson.

Every day we make decisions about money, which have an effect on our standard of living. Sometimes they are only small ones, not related to the above-mentioned areas of life. Daily you have to make financial decisions on which items to spend your money. You are in effect the managing director of your family’s business. Spend more than you get in, your company (business) will soon go broke. Consequently, you have to ensure that you live within your means and balance the household books (weekly or monthly depending on pay-day)… otherwise you will get into financial difficulties.

The more money you are able to save each week or month, the higher will be your ultimate standard of living; although being a miser will not bring happiness. You have to strike a balance in your life between saving and enjoyment (= spending). After all, who wants to get to a comfortable retirement after a lifetime of
frugality and no memories? We all know that “penny-pinchers” and “Scrooges” are often the most unhappy people in the world and that it’s always better to give than to receive. Is it really, or only for saints?

Your household finances are run just like a business. At the end of each month, how much of what you earn stays in your own pocket? You will probably find, like most people, that you are paying everyone else but yourself: the butcher, baker, candlestick maker and other accounts, like paying off the car repairs and windows broken by the kids (happened last week - “Oh bother!”).

Unfortunately we can’t do without money. Also, the older we get, the more we normally need. You get used to a certain standard of living and comfort, but as you get older you need far more capital than you thought. We will look at those various life stages we go through, together with our major financial responsibilities.

The main areas that affect us over our lives include:

# buying a home
# choosing a mortgage bond # medical cover
# children’s education
# budgeting
# planning for lifestyle goals (e.g.. a new home, car, holiday, business) # replacement of consumer items, like car, furniture, washing machine # retirement planning
# investment planning
# estate planning for very wealthy people (I don’t know if the UK and the USA have estate duty. NZ has done away with it) # professional services (such as: legal, financial)

Of these, retirement planning is probably the most important priority; because we have to spend a significant portion of our life when we don’t have any income coming in.

THE TEN MOST COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE IN MANAGING THEIR MONEY:

I believe this is the reason why so many people have a needless struggle with their finances.

1.poor debt management through excessive borrowing - not being able to live “within your means”. 2. failure to monitor their financial position. 3. lack of motivation (desire) to take action. 4. lack of foresight in looking ahead. N.B:
5. failure to set financial plans for the future. Most people don’t plan to fail, but fail to plan. 6. lack of knowledge. Financial ignorance can prove expensive. 7. inadequate protection against unforeseen events (life and general insurance),
such as death, disability and physical losses. 8. procrastination in taking remedial action. And most importantly, 9. lack of discipline in saving habits. and

10. poor investments: you either pay too much tax on them or inflation eats
into your return, or both…so that you money actually goes backwards. Even worse, you could lose all your money if the company to whom you gave your money goes ‘broke’.

KNOWLEDGE:

>From the above we can see that some basic financial knowledge is vital for
all people to survive in the financial ‘jungle’ that is today’s world. Gaining financial knowledge takes time, effort and discipline. You are the manager of your finances, so make a PLAN to reach your financial GOALS.
Then implement it.

ACTION is the key word.

Good luck

TEN REASONS WHY MOST PEOPLE DO NOT ACHIEVE FINANCIAL SUCCESSCraig Lock

Reason One: Lack of knowledge: or more specifically, a lack of a desire to gain knowledge. Make the effort to read to read about financial matters and you will learn. make your money work for you by using the magic of compound interest a t 7% interest per year your money doubles after approximately 10 years and at 10 % interest after 7 years. Remember the rule of 72. Divide the interest into 72 to see how long it takes to double your money (or reduce it because of inflation). So the sooner you get started the better. Many people don’t know where to go for unbiased advise so they do nothing.

Reason Two: Failure to set plans. Did you know that only 5% of the population sets goals and only 2% have any form of written goals? Their actions have a sense of purpose - they are results oriented, they are motivated, they are positive - they are life’s winners. Where do you want to be i n five years time? Without a plan it is easy to drift aimlessly, and live from day to day. If you have set goals you will know what you want to achieve. People fail to succeed because they never plan to succeed. It is not that they plan to fail, they fail to plan . So set your financial goals (targets).

Reason Three: Inefficient use of time and poor work habits. Time is like money - you can spend it or invest it in building a better you by self-development. When you waste you are wasting yourself. Plan your day - what do you really want to achieve today?

Reason Four: Lack of foresight. Achievers have an ability to look beyond the immediate and into the future. Although some may see your visions as dreams do not forget that you have to have a dream to make a dream come true. Unless you are fortunate enough to be left a legacy, the only money you will ever have working for you is that what you save from current income and invest. People with vision can multiply their income by investing in growth investments. Work for your money then make your money work for you.

Reason Five: The need to conform. Dare to be different which is why the majority of people are not successful. Don’t be afraid take calculated risks. Remember the people who make big money are the ones who do the opposite of what everyone else does - sell when everyone else buys and vice versa.

Reason Six: Poor debt management through excessive borrowing. Lack of discipline through poor spending habits and having no budget. Borrowing for things that loose value, so that with interest payments you pay much more the article than it cost initially. (Especially new cars, furniture etc.)

Reason Seven: Lack of desire as a result of a poor attitude to acquiring wealth. Bad mental attitude has caused more personal problems than any thing else. What we expect to happen usually does. Successful people are optimists while unsuccessful people have a pessimistic attitude . Block out negative thoughts and stereotypes and mix with successful, positive people.

Reason Eight: Inadequate protection against unforeseen events. It may be the loss of a home due to natural disaster or the death or disablement of the bread winner. Adequate protection (insurance) against these events is vital to financial success. Not being properly covered has financially wiped out many potentially successful people.

Reason Nine: Lack of discipline. Most people find it difficult to save because they save - buy -save -buy, while others simply buy. It is easier to say yes than no. Those who lack discipline to say “no” will find financial success an impossible achievement. The “must have it now” mentality - buy now what your can’t afford by charging it up in the hope that you can pay for it later. Most people are easily led by advertising and the easy availability of credit.

Reason Ten: Procrastination (big word, hey!). Many people put off a savings programme until it is too late. Young people have a wonderful opportunity and advantage because they have time on their side. The reasons people give for not starting a savings programme are varied and many are genuine. They also vary according to age. In their twenties they are just getting started in life with a first job and want to enjoy themselves by spending on cars, stereos etc. In their thirties they have a young family and a mortgage to support and no money. In there forties they say things are tough with kids to put through university and unexpected medical expenses…………….. and in their fifties it is already too late with no time left to accumulate capital through the magic of compound interest.

A CONVENIENT TIME NEVER COMES.

IT IS ALREADY LATER THAN YOU THINK.

THE STEPS TO FINANCIAL SUCCESSCraig Lock

Even in the “rich” developed nations of the world (most Western countries)
99 per cent of the population do not achieve financial success;
because they lack the real commitment to achieve financial independence.
I believe the reason for this is that most people are too busy earning a living
to survive to really THINK about how to make “big money”.

Really use the unlimited power of your creative imagination to think about
HOW you can create ultimate financial independance for yourself.
However, be aware it takes a great commitment in terms of time, money, energy
and patience to achieve wealth.
So make that effort and invest in yourself first..

THE THREE LEGS TO GROWING WEALTHY
Like the three legs of a stool. All are equally important in
ensuring financial independence.

N.B: The key:

MAKING MONEY + SAVING IT + INVESTING WISELY =

FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Have a plan, then put it into action.

“People don’t plan to fail, but fail to plan.”

Always remember,
* True prosperity is created from within. All prosperity is created in the mind.
You are only as wealthy, happy or as prosperous as what you feel.
and what you make up your mind to be. And money is not everything.
For me, health, family and happiness are far far more important considerations.

Aim high, dream high.

If you aim for the tree tops, you might not get off the ground…

so why not aim for the stars.

Good luck
