All it takes is a good idea and the will to stay committed. I think that's pretty simple.The work isn't always easy, but that's your choice.
If it was simple, 95% of the world wouldn't be brokeWell easy =/= simpleI even said in my post .
1. Identify the most important thing you have to do today.
2. Decide to do just the first little part of it ? just the first minute, or even 30 seconds of it. Getting started is the only thing in the world that matters.
3. Clear away distractions. Turn everything off. Close all programs. There should just be you, and your task.
4. Sit there, and focus on getting started. Not doing the whole task, just starting.
5. Pay attention to your mind, as it starts to have urges to switch to another task. You will have urges to check email or Facebook or Twitter or your favorite website. You will want to play a game or make a call or do another task. Notice these urges.
6. But don?t move. Notice the urges, but sit still, and let them pass. Urges build up in intensity, then pass, like a wave. Let each one pass.
7. Notice also your mind trying to justify not doing the task. Also let these self-rationalizing thoughts pass.
8. Now just take one small action to get started. As tiny a step as possible.
9. Get started, and the rest will flow.

I gave you -17 reps (neg) for that low attitude towards someone who is trying to help people like you, AND especially for showing it graphically through that sh!tty-smiley. Nothing shall help you ever with such low attitude towards helpful people. So better learn from this experience... You won't have too many chances in life if you don't change your attitude first. Said the same thing in the negative rep comment, and of course, I signed it so you know who gave it to you.This is absolute horse manure! Tell us all how to make money step by step with clear instructions, not some lame mumbo jumbo. :irked:
So, no disrespect, but you claim to know the way to become rich?
In theory this sounds awesome (really) but have you achieved this?

And here is how you get rich:
- Find something to trade
- Pay for a big advert
- Make the trades
- Profit
- Pay someone else to repeat steps 1-4 for you
So, no disrespect, but you claim to know the way to become rich?
In theory this sounds awesome (really) but have you achieved this?
I'd rehearse all those lines in my mind first. I will make them work in mind first. I'll be rich in my mind first... AND I am first thankful to the one who gave me something important to work on atm. God bless him/her for doing that...
I really appreciate all the input going into this thread and I'm glad to see so many insightful opinions being posted here, especially srb888, well said dude! I totally agree with you.
I think there is one question in particular that deserves an answer, and I'm sure it has been on almost everyone's mind when they read this thread:
I want to just refer back to a few things that have been said, that will hopefully give a better to answer this question, and I am totally aware that it can be answered simply with either a yes or a no.
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Getting rich is not only a journey but a relative term in my opinion. I only used the words "You can get rich" in my original thread because I believe there is limitless potential for the 5 steps I listed. You can be rich in India with a $1000 salary, whereas in the US, this number is the lower side of middle class. It's relative. Finally, I know what my plan to get rich is, as srb888 wisely pointed out:
You need to HAVE A PLAN. Be rich in your mind first. I know what my journey is, the steps I listed are working for me, and I will keep working at them until I feel that I am sufficiently rich.
I hope that clears some things up.![]()
As the OP is offline atm, I will try to answer this. If the same question is asked to me, I would say it's irrelevant. It's irrelevant because, and I will continue from my earlier post here (The bigger one), that people who taught you good things in life and showed you a path to take in life, never disclosed if they were rich or poor themselves. Think of your parents to begin with, your family friends, your teachers, even your enemies who made you learn survival... they may have been poor in life at that particular point in time, but they KNEW what creates real riches in life (hence they were in a position to guide you through words and deeds). Learn from the wise words and not from the bank balances they could be having then, or not having then. Money isn't stable, its flow in life is very erratic for almost all people on this planet, but Wisdom is stable and always grows with time.![]()
Take it this way: Your Geography teacher never possibly left the state ever, but that didn't stopped him from knowing our world and systematically teaching you how great it is! Your English teacher was never awarded the Medal of English literature, but he or she gave you her 100% efforts and made you understand the language so that you can survive in this dog-eat-dog job-world. Your parents were not the richest in this world, but they still gave you the best in life that they could. They probably slept many hungry nights so that you could be well nourished and do wonders in this world later on... it's endless, but you get the point.
Make the words work for you, why wonder how those worked for others? Will they help you sleep well or bring food to the table for you and your dependents?
The right questions illuminate the path around us. At least they make us think -- in the right directions... the wrong wastes time, and life and the time to make things happen is too short, isn't it?![]()
P.S.:
I'd rehearse all those lines in my mind first. I will make them work in mind first. I'll be rich in my mind first... AND I am first thankful to the one who gave me something important to work on atm. God bless him/her for doing that...
Then I WILL begin working my mind to achieve what it is holding for me there...
That's the basics (for me) to become rich in life. That's the enlightening guidepost (for me) that shows me where to go from here... that's the way my humble soul grasps on the proverbial straw that helps me make dreams happen.That Shall Be if I make them happen... Simple way for a simple me!![]()
