I was looking for a bank statement for my vision board, when I came across this awesome thread about a guy who found a millionaire’s bank statement in a cafe. What really caught my attention was that the millionaire who left the bank statement also wrote a very inspiring message along with it. The only part I am not 100% on board with is the part about relationships. We have MKMMA. But the “focus” jumped out just as I was adding the magnifying glass to my board!
“The secret to happiness is freedom, this, right here, is freedom. The secret to freedom is courage. All of your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them. Rid your life of distractions. Don’t focus on relationships, that’s a big one. Don’t listen to the people who say stop. Just focus on you and your business. Everything else can come later, as it’s easier to get later than this.”
Just take a second and imagine how much you could accomplish if you focused your time and energy on growing your business. This millionaire bank statement is a perfect example of what’s possible when you make everything else secondary. You can’t just want to be a millionaire; you have to make it a must.
As to why that millionaire left their bank statement in a cafe for someone to find? Who knows, become a millionaire and find out.
Wow! How amazing. And what a blessing to leave behind for others to take that seed and plant it to later be reeped and sewed.
I think I’m on the fence about the relationship part. Going through this MKMMA process with a partner who is not supportive of my change I have to agree what this millionaire says. If I were to listen to her or engage in ‘heated discussions’ I would have QUIT long ago on everything that means something to me. Last night was a prime example when she was flat out pissed I’m not watching TV this week. Had I listened to her and caved in, I would not have had the opportunity, no the BLESSING & PRIVILEGE to read your blog posts. Instead of focusing on my relationship, I focus on where I want (us) to be and it keeps me going forward.
Just as you point out in week 7, “if I can’t, who can! …. if I can, then who can’t!” This quote reminds me of another quote: ‘if it’s to be, it’s up to me’. Keeping my eye on my Dharma and my Press Release is my motivating factor. I can’t wait be able to say “if I can, then who can’t!”
