I don’t really believe that you can simply think your way rich. Well if you have a plan or idea then \you could. However, if you are trying to be positive and have a good attitude it’s not going to work. You need to take action… grab the bull by the horns.

You can’t just expect to be a millionaire. You need to make it happen. You don’t deserve it otherwise.

Think about it for a minute. Being born at a certain time may dictate your success in life? I think that’s crazy. Then again, I couldn’t follow the complex chart that was presented there.

One thing I know, is that it’s possible to feel like you’ve found a pattern where this is none. I think this is one such case where if you look hard enough, a pattern may seem to appear where there isn’t one.

If you are looking to become a millionaire, I would suggest focusing on the principals of making money.

One of the things that I noticed is that he is not only selling an Ebook, but the video is on Revver. For those who don’t know, Revver is a site that allows you to earn money by getting people to view your videos and click on links. His plan is simply to draw those clicks.

When it comes down to it, I can think of two ways to quickly become a millionaire:

Think Smart – Come up with an incredible idea that you can patent, sell, etc.
Get Lucky – You can always win the lottery, but you better not count on it.

This guy is obviously trying to go with the “think smart” plan, but the execution just isn’t there. So while I encourage you to just ignore the video, here it is so you can see what I’m writing about.

How I Became A Millionaire

You’ll note that I only used five words. I tried to stretch it to six, but I didn’t feel the need add extra words that don’t really a purpose. Now I just need to become a millionaire.

How to Become a Millionaire

Ginger has read books like How to Think Like a Millionaire and The Millionaire Next Door and digested that information in order to develop the millionaire mindset. She comes away with five key points:

1. Belief in Self – This may sound like common sense, but it’s amazing how many people mess it up. If you don’t believe you will become a millionaire, no one else will.
2. Passionate about Life Goals – I found that to be successful in anything, you need to have passion. If you don’t have that passion, the job is going to seem like climbing Mt. Everest.
3. SMART Goals – Wikipedia gives the breakdown on this project management skill.
4. Learn from Mistakes – If you can get buy without making a mistake, fantastic… Even Michael Jordan missed a lot of shots and lost a lot of games in his time. He learned from them though, and eventually became the best basketball player the world has known (and becoming a millionaire many times over).
5. Frugality – Of all the parts, I disagree with Ginger on this one the most. I have read about people in NYC and California who are millionaires, but weren’t particularly frugal. Instead they were lucky or extremely talented (in the top .00000001% of what they do). Since you can’t count on luck or being that talented, control your own millionaire destiny by being frugal
