No matter what happens, no matter what the circumstance, no matter what the situation, Millionaires, remain persistent in reaching there goals, whatever they may be at the time. Real world examinations shows that persistence is a common element to Millionaires.

Explained by definition, to be persistent means:

“existing for a long or longer than usual time or continuously”

“retained beyond the usual period”

“continuing or inclined to persist in a course”

“continuing to exist despite interference or treatment”

Where I Got It

In Mathematics, persistence of a number”

“is a term used to describe the number of times one must apply a given operation to an integer before reaching a fixed point”

Where I Got It

Now no matter which way you put it, persistence is starting from where you are right now, and ending up where you want to be, and not letting anything stop you from arriving at your chosen destination.

Only the strong survive, you’ve heard it before, along with other similar statements. What they are referring to is persistence. Millionaires persist towards their goals no matter what. They persist beyond circumstance, beyond environment, and beyond limitation.

When Donald Trump was told that he couldn’t build his building in a certain city because it was too big, what did he do? He went to another city and built it…and he made many millions because of it. Take on the roll of being persistent in your life goals just like The Donald, it seems to be working for him and it will work for YOU.

There are more Millionaires being created in the Home Business industry NOW then ever before. Unlike Donald Trump, they weren’t already making Millions of dollars to fund her business, but she was persistent towards her goals. And because she was, she is now a Millionaire.

Both these stories are different, but the individuals both share a common belief. And that is of course they are both persistent in achieving their goals. Stories like these are everywhere. Whenever you read a story of someone new becoming a Millionaire, they will all have the Millionaire Secret of persistence.

It is an amazing sight to see the growth of an individual to becoming a Millionaire. They faced so many obstacles in their journey, they were challenged by so many emotions, and they took their “failures” and turned them into successes.

It is a common belief Millionaires share that “failure” is never an option. I look at it and take it to a higher level. The way I see it is that Millionaires look at “failure” and see it very differently then the other guy.

First of all, they don’t use the word “failure”, they use the word opportunity. They do not look at “failure” as an end to a goal that was not achieved, they look at “failure” as an opportunity to take yet another step towards their goals.

The fact that they seem to never fail at anything they do doesn’t mean they don’t have obstacles standing in their way. Of course not. Why it looks like Millionaires never “fail” is because they are aware of the title of this post – Failure Is Never An Option.

For those of you who got the hidden message…congratulations. For the rest of you, I’ll break it down a bit further for you, here it is – Failure Is Never An Option.

“Failure”, like everything else we choose to attract into our lives, is an option. Put even more simply, “failure” is a CHOICE. You can literally choose to “fail” or you can choose to succeed. The choice is yours.

Tony Robbins, the Multi Millionaire of too many things to mention here, became wealthy at a very young age only to lose everything due to some bad choices. A year later he became wealthy again and made more money then ever. How was he able to do that? He never allowed “failure” to be an option for him. What he did was discover an opportunity to learn from the choices he made, and in the future make better choices.

He could of easily said, “Well this just didn’t work out. My idea failed. I have failed. Time to go and watch TV”. But he didn’t. He saw an opportunity to learn from his “failures” or “mistakes” or whatever you want to call them, and became better than ever before.

It’s pretty simple when you break it down. Being able to see opportunities in everything that comes into your life is a simple Millionaire Secret. Back it up with persistence and you will become aware that “failure” is just an opportunity in disguise and it is YOU that’s gets to choose which one shows up into your life.

Have you ever met or seen a person that just couldn’t make up their mind about something? Have you ever been to a restaurant with someone that couldn’t decide about what to order? I’m sure you have. There is a lesson to be learned here and a pattern to become aware of and follow.

Unless you you have been living under a rock for the last several years, you have undoubtedly read the book “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill, or at least heard of it. If you haven’t – I think you should pick up a copy and read it from front to back 3 times…all Millionaires have become who they are because they use the principles explained in it’s writings.

Here’s a quick story I wanna share from the book.

At the request of Andrew Carnegie, Hill was to set out and dedicate his life to the study of how the most successful people in the world acquired their great wealth. What Hill didn’t know at the time was while Carnegie was requesting this assignment of him, he had a stop watch under his desk and he was timing Hill to see how long it would take him to make a decision. Carnegie new that successful people made decisions quickly and acted upon them.

Hill answered yes in the first 20 seconds and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in history.

Just like Carnegie, Millionaires understand the importance of being decisive and action oriented. How in the world could anyone become wealthy, free, or abundant if they constantly can’t make up their minds about what to do?

Do you think Donald Trump goes into his office and ponders for days about what to do next? Heck no. He makes a decision to DO it and takes action to bring about it’s creation. Do you think Henry Ford, Bill Gates or the millions of other Millionaires on this planet walk around all day pondering about weather to do this or do that. No, they don’t. They take there situation, whatever that may be at the time, and make the decision to take action and bring about the realization of their decision.

Now don’t get me wrong, planning, analyzing, and asking questions is something that all Millionaires do. But once it’s all said and done, the decision is made and the action is taken…no if’s and’s or but’s about it.

I use to be the same way. I use to do the same things. I was just like the person in the restaurant that couldn’t decide what to order and then second guesses themselves on their decision and thought that maybe I should have ordered something different. As I write this now and think back to those times, it seems like I’m living a whole new life – I believe I am.

I made the decision a long time ago to become a Millionaire and help as many other people become Millionaires as well. Have I reached my goal yet? No. But ever since I made my decision and began studying what I am teaching here, I have managed to eliminate $36,000 in dept, quit my life draining “job” that I was told I should have since I was born, and started a Home Business that makes me more than any job ever could. I did all of that in six months. How’s that for becoming aware of what’s possible.

Just like the Millionaires I study and the many more I have yet to uncover, I made a decision and took the action required to reach my goals and I have not let anything stop my decision – and I never will.

Have I made bad decisions that took me off course from what I wanted to achieve? Of course.

Have the millions of Millionaires out there made bad decisions in their lives? Of course.

So what did we do? We made another decision and took action to bring us back on course. And it really is that simple.

Bottom line, I sleep like a baby every night knowing that I am making the decisions and taking the actions towards achieving what I desire on this planet. I know that even if I make a bad decision I can always make a better one after, and then a better one after that. I know that being decisive and action oriented is one of many Millionaire Secrets, and I choose to use it to make my life whatever I desire.

Ever notice that Millionaires surround themselves with other Millionaire. Obvious yes but very important to say the least. You become, more often than not, like the people you hang around with the most, a very powerful Millionaire Secret.

As the story goes, Mark Victor Hansen was grieving to Tony Robbins about his less than desirable level of success.

“I don’t understand it,” said Hansen. “I just can’t seem to get from where I am to where I want to be.”

“Well, who are the people around you?” asked Robbins.

“The thing is,” replied Hansen. “I’m hanging out with millionaires.”

“That’s the problem,” declared Robbins. “You need to start hanging out with billionaires.”

Mark Victor Hansen took Tony Robbins’ advice, and the rest is history.

Now obviously there were other things that contributed to his massive success but this story still illustrates one of the most important Millionaire Secrets. Surround yourself with successful people then you will have no choice but to be successful. If you hang around with unsuccessful people than you will find it very hard, if not impossible, to be successful.

There are many reasons for this. Lets take a look at unsuccessful people first. Unsuccessful people are:

1. Negative
2. depressed
3. boring
4. pessimistic
5. non encouraging
6. scared
7. passionless
8. non caring
9. not enthusiastic
10. people who bring you down

This is just the top ten, I can think of plenty more from my past experiences alone and I’m sure you could too…but we’ll stop there.

Now take a look at the the list and ask yourself if Donald Trump would be the success he is now if he hung around people that had these qualities.

Ask yourself if Tony Robbins would have inspired the multiple thousands of people that he has and would of made the millions he’s made if he hung around boring, lonely and pessimistic people.

Now ask yourself if YOU could become the success you want to be if you would be surrounded by people who are always discouraging you from your goals, always telling you their depressing stories, and bringing you down with them…not likely.

On the flip side, let’s take a look at what qualities winners, or, successful people have.

Successful people are:

1. Enthusiastic
2. Fun
3. Joyful
4. Inspiring
5. Caring
6. Motivating
7. Courageous
8. Funny
9. Uplifting
10. Passionate

Now this is a no brainer for me. I can see why winners want to be surrounded by other winners. They inspire each other, challenge one another, uplift and encourage everyone for the greater good of all.

Whenever they’re feeling down, possibly frustrated, or need help with something, being surrounded by a positive successful group will turn your “bad” mood into a good mood very quickly.

Before starting my Home Business, I was still working my “job” and exchanging my time for money. The group that I was constantly surrounded by was far from the person I wanted to become. Nothing against them, they are all great and unique individuals and they are doing what they believe in, but there ambitions for wealth, health and happiness were non existent. All they really cared or talked about were bills, what’s on TV today, and gossiped about other colleagues. I don’t know about you but that’s not a life I want to live for the next 40 years of my life.

After leaving this environment and realizing what a significant positive change it had on my life, I made it a point to hang around with only winners. I hang out with my closest friends, friends that I’ve known since grade school, who inspire be, back me up, and push me to be a better person not just in business, but in all aspects of my life. You’d be wise to do the same.

I have also had to limit my communication with certain family members that are nothing but emotionally and mentally draining. I don’t mean that to sound harsh but the truth is that they are people who would rather fold in life then push and reach further. I know that to reach my goals I just can’t surround myself with their “advise”.

Furthermore, from the day I started my Home Business, I have surrounded myself with a community of successful people. A community of people who are already making the income I want to make. A community that is living the life that I aspire to have, and some parts I already do. I listen to them on the phone, I watch their videos and I take their advise.

One of the best pieces if advise I have ever received was this,” To get what you want the fastest, surround yourself with the people who already have what you want”. This piece of advise has skyrocketed my success faster than anything yet.

What happens after consistently surrounding yourself with a community of winners is after a short time you begin to talk like them, you begin to act like them, and ultimetly you begin to get the results that they get. This all comes down to the Law Of Attraction, like attracts like. If you want to be a Millionaire, start to think, act, and do what Millionaires do.

To put it another way, if you wanted to sell Real Estate for a living, would you take advise from your local relater – or Donald Trump?

Enough said.

Have you ever drawn out a time line of your life’s events? A simple graph that shows your ups and downs during the course of you being born right up to your present life. It’s a quick and simple exercise to do and offers some powerful realizations.

Take a look at the life of anyone on this planet, either dead or alive, and you will see that it was filled with moments of triumphs, and moments of loses. I don’t like the word lose so I’m going to change it to learning, moments of learning. During the course of anyones life in history, there have been ups and downs.

A great example of this is Lance Armstrong. A true hero who has certainly conquered his “downs” and has certainly gained his ups. He is a true testament of anything being possible. He goes to show the world that no matter how down you may be at any given moment, your next up is just around the corner. He was just willing to do what it takes to reach that corner. And YOU can too.

There is no way around this. During the course of your life you will have your good moments and you will have your bad moments. This is life working it’s marvelous power. And it’s a gift to anyone who chooses to accept it.

As long as you DO NOT stop moving closer to that corner then you will eventually reach it, you will reach your up. There is just no way around this. It is a guiding universal law. What’s important is what you are willing to do during these times. Sure it’s easy to press on when everything is just peachy and running smoothly, but what are you willing to do when your at a down point. Will you fold or will you press on?

Winners press on, Millionaires press on.

Like the Superman he is, Christopher Reeve presses on and continued to change the world in a powerful way even after his unfortunate accident. Yet another example of conquering your downs and reaching yet another up. Some are worse and better than others, but they are all the same.

It’s important to realize that no matter how bad it may be right now, the light is just around the corner.

What’s even cooler is that when you become more and more aware of this, you will attract more ups and less downs. Seriously.

Looking at all the Millionaires out there you can see that most of their downs occurred while they were just beginning their quest for greatness. After success became more and more consistent the ups seems to get smaller and smaller.

Even if you have thousands of downs you can’t but eventually hit an up. As long as your are consistently learning from your “mistakes” and not doing the same thing over and over, you will succeed. You will reach your goal. Thomas Edison and his thousands of light bulbs is an awesome example of this.

Prepare for the downs in your life and use your ups to blast you through those moments of uncertainty. A powerful Millionaire Secret to accomplish anything you desire.

Prepare yourself for the worst and the best will happen.
