Make Money Online

This is the last part of a three part article series. These are the last seven characteristics that you need to develop, if you want to become a millionaire.

15. Dedicate Yourself to Serving Others – This is the total opposite reason than most people have for learning how to make money online, but it is as true as the wisdom that you will receive when you climb to the top of a mountain to get advice from a guru.

First, always do more than you are paid for, and then always go the extra mile.

16. Speed and Dependability – First learn the difference between looking and being. This means the difference between what is important and unimportant. Next prioritize you tasks from the most important to the least important. Lastly, develop a sense of urgency and do it NOW!

17. Be Impeccably Honest –This means tell the truth, be the truth, and live the truth. Never compromise, always be straightforward with others, and always be true to yourself.

18. Learn to Focus – This means being able to concentrate single-mindedly on one task. This is how you will accomplish your major goal in life. The way to do this is to break that big goal down into yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, all of the way down to the tasks that you need to accomplish each day…and then focus on those tasks, one at a time, until you complete them.

19. Be Decisive – This is one habit that all self-made millionaires have. Not being able to make up your mind, and being a whimsical person will only lead to living your life for other people who are decisive. You will always be looking for the greener grass on the other side of the fence. Any decision is better than no decision at all. Take time to think, plan, and decide. Also be willing to accept feedback and make adjustments to your plan if you find a better way to do something.

20. Courage and Persistence- These are twin traits like the opposite sides of a coin. It takes courage to launch your idea with the possibility of failure, but like Nike says, you have to “Just Do It”. Persistence is the ability to endure when you face the inevitable challenges that will come when you take action on your goal.

21. Self-Discipline – Self-discipline is the single most important quality of character. This is the ability to make yourself do, what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.

This is the second part of a 3 part article series. These are the second seven qualities that you need to develop if you want to become a millionaire.

8. Never Stop Learning – Many self-made millionaires did not finish school, but that does not mean they stopped learning. They kept learning things that are not taught in traditional schools, such as how to manage their money to create wealth and how to master their niche.

9. Be a Workaholic – Several times while I was virtually homeless, and in between houses, I was told that I need to take a break because I spend too much time on the computer. What seems like work to other people is not really work to self-made millionaires because they love what they do.

10. Surround Yourself With Like-minded People – Association is everything. We have all heard that your income is close to the five people who you spend most of your time with. You can surround yourself with self-made millionaires by attending events and seminars, joining groups online, and attending networking events offline. However if you are limited and are not currently able to get online, or if you are unable to travel to seminars, then you can surround yourself with like-minded people by reading books and listening to CD’s in isolation.

11. Stay Off of the Emotional Roller-Coaster – Realize that life is a series of peaks and valleys, and you will have some good days and some bad days in your business and in your life. When you have a good day, cool beans! When you have a bad day, cool beans! Be like Droopy and keep an even keel and stay focused on your goal.

12. Become a Rubber Band – This means be resilient. You will have some failures in business and the life, but have you have to bounce back like a rubber band. Make a comeback like Rocky. The only way to really fail is to quit.

13. Unlock Your Creativity – Do not be afraid to put your ideas into action. We would not have the automobile if it was not for Henry Ford or the airplane without the Wright Brothers. They both had to tap into their creative genius to invent something that did not exist before. You are a genius too. You just have believe that you are smart and find a way to tap into your inborn creativity.

Notice that these character traits work hand in hand. If you never stop learning it is inevitable that you will tap into your creative ability.

14. Be Optimistic About Everything – Napoleon Hill talks about having a pleasing attitude. If you are optimistic about everything you can’t help but to have a pleasing attitude. If you look hard enough you can find the good in any situation, regardless of how bad it may appear on the outside. That it is why it is called the “seed” of benefit. Like Zig Ziglar says, “Become a good finder”.

To become a millionaire you first need to find out what are the common traits of a self-made millionaire. Then all you have to do is develop those characteristics in yourself. This is a 3-part article series. Here are the first seven characteristics that you need to develop within yourself if you want to become a millionaire.

1. Dream Big – I remember when I shared one of my ideas with my older brother. His exact words were “That’s too big!” He may have been trying to discourage me, but that is one of the biggest compliments he could have given me. Little dreams and negativity are for broke people. Big dreams are for self-made millionaires. That is why it is called “The Magic of Thinking Big”.

2. Do What You Love – Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Michel Jordan, 50 Cent, Nancy from “Sewing with Nancy”, Brian Tracy, and the list goes on and on. They all do different things, but they all do what they love to do, and they are all self-made millionaires and billionaires. Ignore everybody who tells you what you “should” do. Do what you love to do.

3. Commit to Excellence – Broke people complain and blame, employees do stuff because they have to in order to get a paycheck, but if you go to a seminar you will find a bunch of self-made millionaires because they are always working on themselves to get better, do better, and be better. Do like the Army and “Be All You Can Be”. A. L. Williams said it best. “All you can do is all you can do, but all you can do is enough.” Always do your best in everything that you do.

4. Leverage Your Unique Talents and Abilities – There are several skills that you need to develop in order to be successful in your online business. Talents and abilities are different than skills. Skills are learned, whereas you are born with your talents and abilities. However, they can both be improved upon. Do not make the excuse that you are not good at anything. Making excuses is not a talent. Michael Jordan did not have any innate basketball abilities, but he worked on his skills harder than anyone else, and he became one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

5. Accept Responsibility for EVERYTHING That Happens to You – This is hard to do sometimes, especially when someone or something does something to you. But you will always discover that it really is your fault, because you are the one who put yourself in that situation.

6. Know Where You Are Going – Napolean Hill calls this having a “definite purpose”. When you have a definite purpose in life, it is easier to stay focused, and distractions will not get you off track so quickly. If you do not know your definite purpose, ask yourself WHAT you want to accomplish more than anything. Then ask yourself WHY you want to accomplish it.

7. Failure Is Not An Option – Anytime you do not accomplish your goal, it is only a learning experience. That is why self-made millionaires refuse to quit, even when they are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles on their road to riches. They just keep going and going like the Energizer Bunny.

You have what it takes to become a self-made millionaire. Realize that all of the self-made millionaires that came before you are not better than you. They may do what they do better than you, but they are not better than you. That means you can become a self-made millionaire too!
