RESIDENTIAL

was doing was not working. I was sick of accepting the
way it was. I wanted it different. I had to make things
different somehow.
I read every book; listened to audio every day; and
attended every seminar I could on how to become
wealthy. I even went for hypnotherapy and counseling
and visited a Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner. I did not
stop until I looked back and realised I achieved my goal
and had become wealthy.
It works. But you have to have absolute conviction,
and persist until you have reached your goal.

This is the #1 strategy for achieving wealth and
success in life. It is the most common strategy and
habit of wealthy people in the world, and it is not just
about doing it until you achieve success, it is about
committing to it for life.
These words can never be truer: “Those who need it
the least, do it the most. Those who need it the most,
do it the least.”
Go learn and never stop!

#2 Forget information overload, but use your brain!
I often hear: “Brian, I have information overload”; “I
need to take a break to implement what I have learned”;
or “There is too much out there”. Unless your life has
changed in a major way, do not stop!
But, use your brain. Do not just get sucked up into
every event or product that promises you an outcome.
A common mistake is the get-rich-quick BS - everyone
wants a quick solution but it never happens. There is no
get-rich-quick scheme that actually works.
Be selective, but also be open-minded. Don’t let your
little voice dictate that you already know something or
you have heard this before. Also, make sure that rich
people are teaching you if you are trying to change your
financial outcomes, rather than poor people who are
trying to get rich by teaching you how to be rich.
Use your brain and “gut” to make good decisions, but
do not stop until you have reached the higher standard
you are after.
#3 Success is far more about who you become than
what you do
Since I achieved financial success (and success in other
areas of my life), people keep asking me what I do
differently. My answer is always the same: “Nothing,
I do exactly the same as when I was ‘poor’”. I am just
a different person who now accepts success in my life.
Focus on developing yourself. If you are not wealthy, it
is because you are not a person ready to accept wealth.
Unfortunately, it is not about what you think in your
conscious mind, but rather the conditioning in your
subconscious mind. You have to sort out the inner game
to succeed in the outer game. Dedicate a big chunk of
your time and resources on self-education and personal
growth; to focusing on yourself and your inner game.
I promise you, this is key to this strategy working.
