Envision Yourself a Billionaire
Currently in the United States there are about 3 million millionaires. That is equivalent to about 1% of the entire population. So, statistically speaking 1 out of every 100 Americans is a millionaire. Could you be one of the coveted 1%?
Lets go a step further. There are approximately 360 billionaires in the United States.
The amount of people who are joining the class of super rich is growing daily. Once you become a millionaire you are only three orders of magnitude (1,000) to becoming a billionaire. So the difference in a millionaire and a billionaire is 1,000 million dollar sums of money.
Can you see yourself in that number? Basically, there are ten steps to achieving a ten-figure income. How many are already in your life? How many areas still need work?
Clear Vision
The first step is seemingly simple but is where many people go wrong. You have to have a dream, and your dream has to be in full color. Having a dream for yourself and your family is having a vision of where you want to be in your future.
Make your dream seem real in your head, keep the vision of what you want at the forefront of your mind at all times, take the steps necessary to make your dream a reality.
So simple. So true. So important. Yet too many people walk through life with no vision at all. How can they ever have their dreams come true?
So take this time to write out your dreams. Really think about what you want your life to look like. Go ahead and do that now.
Ask Yourself the Right Questions
The biggest question you need to ask yourself is WHY you want to be a billionaire. Dont just settle for the obvious reasonsfind out WHY deep down inside.
Find your higher calling and figure out why you feel this must be your destiny. Asking these questions and knowing your reasons for certain will ensure success.
3. Surround Yourself with Successful People (Mentors)
There are people who have walked this journey before you. They have blazed trails and attended the school of hard knocks. Some of them have written books. Some have courses that can be purchased. Some offer personalized coaching. Some have already died, but their biographies have been written and you can read about them to learn how they located their why and how they followed their dreams.
Learn from these pioneers! Let them show you the way. Why spin your wheels by reinventing the wheel?
4. Locate an Income Vehicle That Can Produce 100K per Month
You dont want to inch your way to the top, you want to soar like an eagle. In order to do this you have to find a compelling, marketable service or product that costs more than $15-20.
If you are serious about a ten-figure income, you will need an income-producing vehicle that will accommodate your goals. Stop messing around with marketing $15 and $20 items. Only big ticket products are going to get you where you want to go. Find the best vehicle to fit your plans.
5. Create Leverage with Network Marketing (people working for you without the headache of employees)
J. Paul Getty said
would rather make 1% off a 100 people than 100% of my own efforts.
Many of the network marketing opportunities available today offer individuals an amazing amount of leverage by using the efforts of many others. This must be included in your steps to earning a ten-figure income.
6. Invest Wisely; Invest Like the Wealthy; Get Out of Debt
Middle class people work for money. The wealthy make their money work for them. Middle class people pay interest (in debt up to their eyeballs). The wealthy have interest paying them.
Investing your money in a consistent means will mean safe returns without risk. Take the time to learn from the wealthy how to invest wisely. Above all us, you have to develop a wealthy persons mindset in all areas of finance.
7. Healthy Person Wealthy Person
Another quote from J. Paul Getty: The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him ” and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.
The truth remains that you can’t live one part of your life in health, wealth and goodness and forego in other areas. Eating right, working out and taking care of yourself and living a healthy life will impact your body and mind. This will spill over to all areas of your life.

Except Only Excellence
To strive for excellence does not mean you must be perfect. But it does mean you must do everything in your power to be the best you that you can be. This is closely related to #7, in that you cannot abuse your mind and body and still achieve greatness. Nor can your make half-hearted efforts in your endeavors.
Pursue your dreams with all your heart. And give it your best. Pursue excellence with as much discipline as a champion athlete. It will pay off!
Be Proactive in Your Dream
This step is similar to Step#1. While the utmost importance of course is always to have a dream (noun) you must never forget to dream (verb) as well. Using imagery tools to keep the dream in close proximity is an effective means of helping to make it happen.
Some people use a dream board, or a goal map to help envision exactly what it is they want their future to look like. Some list goals on 3X5 cards and review them daily. Still others write out (in present tense) what their life will be like in the future (as though they were already living out their dream). T. Harv Eker (Secrets of the Millionaire Mind) says whatever you focus on, expands So stop spending time focusing on what you dont want! Focus on what you want!
10. Never Never Never Quit!
You may experience times when things arent going as well as you hoped. You may hit a bump in the road or be frustrated but as long as you dont quit, you havent failed. Failure is only when you throw in the towel and stop trying. Things will happen that force you to make decisions, change directions or adjust your outlook and goals and these are only to be expected.
Keep your thoughts positive and always keep on trying. As long as you do that, you are never a failure. Failure is not about making mistakes, failure is about quitting!
Now that you have set your goals and are living your dream you are on your way to a 10 figure income. Keep the pace and always upon always keep one foot in front of the other. Your belief dictates your ability to achieve your goals.
