101.eng. Anthony Robbins: 12 Reasons Why People Don't Get Wealthy:
102.eng. 1.
103.eng. They never decide and really define, very specifically, what wealth means for them.
104.eng. The keyword here is specifically.
105.eng. Can you imagine how hard it would be to build a car or a plane without making a blueprint or sketch drawings of it first? You have to know what your target is before you go chasing after it.
106.eng. 2.
107.eng. They make wealth a moving target instead of a fixed one ﴾this is related to point one above﴿.
108.eng. Once you have your target, fix it.
109.eng. Don't change it until you reach it.
110.eng. You must accomplish each step, celebrate, and then set course for a new step, a new target.
111.eng. 3.
112.eng. They define it in a way that seems unreachable.
113.eng. You only achieve what you believe.
114.eng. No more, no less.
115.eng. So you must make it believable for you.
116.eng. Set goals that will make you move forward and stretch, but not too high that even you yourself don't believe you can.
117.eng. Take the biggest step you believe you can, achieve it, then take the next biggest you believe you can.
118.eng. This will build positive reinforcement in your self­confidence as well.
119.eng. 4.
120.eng. They never start.
121.eng. Ok, this is obvious.
122.eng. If you keep thinking about it forever, it will forever remain in the thought level.
123.eng. You have to act! Start somewhere, anywhere! Only after you start do you begin to get some feedback which will help you plot your course better.
124.eng. The aircraft has to first take off before it starts to adjust course for its destination.
125.eng. You must start, somewhere, anywhere, doesn't matter, just start! Act!
126.eng. 5.
127.eng. They never make it a must.
128.eng. Let me explain what it means to make it a must.
129.eng. It means marshalling all your intent, your will, your direction, into one singular flow that is directed towards your goal.
130.eng. All obstacles are viewed as challenges to be overcome.
131.eng. You will meet obstacles, and so expect it, but also expect to move forward anyways.
132.eng. Use your obstacles to develop strength and skills, don't run away.
133.eng. Find out how to go past them.
134.eng. Find out! There is always a way, always.
135.eng. And if your emotions are acting against your desire, embrace them, learn what they are, know yourself, but keep moving forward.
136.eng. Make it a must, and it will happen.
137.eng. Guaranteed.
138.eng. You don't know in how many steps it will take, but you know it will happen.
139.eng. 6.
140.eng. They don't have a realistic plan.
141.eng. If you want to do something, find out how it is done from someone who has done it before.
142.eng. Make a realistic plan.
143.eng. Copy from those who have succeeded before you.
144.eng. But don't throw away your intuition.
145.eng. Your intuition is extremely powerful once you learn how to listen to it with practice.
146.eng. 7.
147.eng. If they have a realistic plan, they never follow through on the plan.
148.eng. Well, if you don't follow the plan, who will?
149.eng. 8.
150.eng. They give responsibility to others ﴾"experts"﴿ instead of to themselves.
151.eng. This way, they never really learn how to do it, and if there are failures they never learn why the failures happened and so they are bound to repeat them.
152.eng. It is a good idea to get advice, but do it yourself.
153.eng. At least understand it yourself even if you will delegate the actual doing.
154.eng. 9.
155.eng. They give up when they face challenges.
156.eng. Going through the challenges is what has made people rich, not giving up.
157.eng. Look, there are always challenges.
158.eng. So get used to that.
159.eng. You will only get where you wish to get to if you are willing to face the challenges along the path.
160.eng. All challenges are opportunities dressed in work clothes, remember that.
161.eng. After the challenge is over, you will discover the amazing fruit it held for you.
162.eng. 10.
163.eng. They fail to conduct their lives as a business; they never ensure that they make a profit year by year.
164.eng. Get a personal finance package like Quicken or Microsoft Money.
165.eng. you need to have budgets and cash flow statements for your personal finances and your businesses.
166.eng. It is easy with those software packages.
167.eng. If you don't keep records and track, you wont know when you are making or losing money until it is embarrassingly too late.
