Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires

The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires

Brian Tracy

Have you ever wondered what distinguishes self-made millionaires from the rest of us? Is it just luck, natural talent, or perhaps some hidden formula tucked away in a mysterious vault? Well, not really! 

It's their lifestyle, the way they work and behave. 

''Successful people are simply those with successful habits."

This book offers 21 successful tips to become one of the self-made millionaires on this planet. I guess that 21 is Brian's favorite number since he used it in Eat that frog as well! Did you know that 88 percent of all millionaires are self-made, meaning they did not inherit their wealth. That means you have a big chance to become one as well! 

Let's narrow down those 21 principles!

1. Mindset and Personal Development

• Develop a clear vision and purpose for your life, setting specific goals to guide your actions
• Cultivate a mindset of excellence and continuous learning, striving for improvement in all areas of your life
• Embrace a positive attitude and resilience, persisting in the face of challenges and setbacks
• Uphold honesty, integrity, and ethics in all your dealings, building trust and credibility with others
• Commit to lifelong learning and self-improvement, investing in your education and skill development
• Surround yourself with mentors and advisors who can offer guidance and support on your journey to success

2. Financial Management and Strategy

• Develop financial literacy and understanding of basic financial concepts, managing your money wisely and prudently
• Stay focused on your long-term financial goals, making informed decisions and taking calculated risks when necessary
• Embrace change and adapt your strategies as needed to stay relevant and competitive in a rapidly evolving world
• Seek opportunities to add value and serve others, creating win-win outcomes that contribute to your financial success
• Practice discipline and time management, allocating resources effectively and staying focused on your priorities

3. Action and Persistence:

• Strive for constant growth and improvement in all areas of your life, embracing change as a means of personal and professional development
• Stay committed and persistent in the pursuit of your goals, recognizing that success requires dedication and effort
• Take responsibility for your actions, decisions, and outcomes, learning from both successes and failures
• Network and build relationships with others, leveraging opportunities for collaboration and mutual growth
• Seek counsel from those who have achieved success, learning from their experiences and insights

4. Gratitude and Legacy:

• Practice gratitude and appreciation for what you have, fostering happiness and fulfillment in both your personal and professional endeavors
•  Remember that success is not just about achieving wealth, but also about making a positive impact and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations
• Cultivate humility and a service-oriented mindset, seeking opportunities to give back and contribute to the greater good
• Stay focused on creating a meaningful and purposeful life, aligning your actions with your values and aspirations

A few thoughts from the book that I liked:

•  "Success comes when you do what you love to do, and commit to being the best in your field."

• "The key to success is to focus on the few activities that contribute the most to your results."

• "Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not."

•  "The starting point of achieving financial independence is to make a decision to become wealthy."

While chasing after money, don't forget what is more important than money, health, friends and family.

 "The true measure of your worth is not what you earn, but what you become."
