1. They do not want it bad enough.
They value their comfort over their work for success.
And yes, it takes more than that, but just ask yourself this:
Would
you (A) Go to sleep when you feel tired and get a good cognitive start
on the work tomorrow? (B) Stay up and finish what you set out to do? (C)
Stay up, finish what you set out to do and do a bit extra while
figuring out what made you be so late in the first place? (D) Just go to
bed and worry about it tomorrow?
If you wanted success bad enough you would choose Option C 10 times out of 10. Most of us choose option A or D.
2. They never learn about money.
They do not buy books, do not get a coach, do not go to seminars and just assume that what they learned about “saving” is going to be enough to get them to be millionaires.
Making
money and becoming rich is not an unknown, explorative adventure. It is
a science and people have found ways to get more money.
You just haven’t bothered to learn from them.
3. They loose their purpose.
Most
people start their careers with passion, excitement, and a wanderlust
for the adventure the career entails. Most people end their careers with
the words “Finally I’m done!”
When
people loose their passion, purpose and joy for their careers it becomes
a struggle harder than any other. Not only have they now do the work,
they also have to become amazing at it, while hating what they do.
Most people do not even do normal things they dislike much less spending 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and more to get amazing at what they hate.
These are the main three things that make people not become millionaires, but it definitely isn’t everything.
Some
people still manage to become millionaires despite all of this, getting
lucky or seeing something that others don’t, but the people that do do
not even closely amount to 1% of the millionaires in the world.
If you want to be a millionaire, then you have to know why you want it, work hard for it and keep learning about money.
Being a millionaire is definitely not out of reach, but it is definitely not easy either.
Do you have what it takes?
