What Does it Take to Become Rich?

A lot of people nowadays days wanted to become rich. You could clearly see by watching TV. There are numerous people joining various TV shows in the hope of winning the cash prize. Alternatively, there are also a lot of people who wants to enter show business. Aside from the fame and glamour it brings, it is one of the easiest way to get rich.
In addition, you could also see the long lines of people buying tickets for Lotto everyday. You would wonder how hopeful a lot of people has become that luck will fall on them and make them instant millionaires.
I already mentioned in one of my previous posts entitled who wants to be a millionaire  mentioning additional traits of millionaires describing what does it take to become a millionaire. To supplement those millionaire characteristics, I would like to share with you additional lessons I’ve learned from a British self-made millionaire named Felix Dennis.
He actually gave a list to consider for people wanting to become rich. According to him, if you find yourself unable to accomplish even ONE of these initial demands (even just ONE), forget your quest to richness because it will not prosper:

1. If you are unwilling to fail, sometimes publicly, and even catastrophically, you stand very little chance of ever getting rich.
2. If you care what your neighbors will think, you will never get rich.
3. If you cannot bear the thought of causing worry to your family, spouse or lover while you plough a lonely, dangerous road rather than taking a safe option of a regular job, you will never get rich.


4. If you have artistic inclinations and fear that the search for wealth will coarsen such talents or degrade them, you will never get rich. (Because your fear in this instance, is well justified)
5. If you are not prepared to work longer hours than almost anyone you know, despite the jibes of colleagues and friends, you are unlikely to be rich.
6. If you cannot convince yourself that you are “good enough” to be rich, you will never get rich.
7. If you cannot treat your quest to get rich as a game, you will never be rich.
8. If you cannot face up your fear of failure, you will never be rich.
From the list he gave above, the central idea talks about the fear of failure. Dennis said to “be prepared to remain relatively poor if you will not confront and harness this human emotion.” He shared that in his years of experience in business, he is convinced that fear of failing in the eyes of the world is the single biggest impediment to amassing wealth.
Hundreds of people are now taking part to learn how to become financially free. The question now that I would like to leave to all of you is: Do you want to be employed by them or you want to be like one of them in the future? You decide.
