I know it’s hard to grasp for some - I mean, if you say that to my face 5 years ago, I’ll say that you’re out of your mind. To be frank, it never comes across my mind at all that I’ll be where I am today humbly.
You see, in this new age of time that we’re living in, there are many ‘vehicles’ for you become a millionaire. It has created a new platform where ideas and some willingness to act upon them can turn an ordinary person to a self-made millionaire.
For instance, at only 15 years old, Jasmine Lawrence became a millionaire by creating her own brand of natural beauty products and has a distribution deal with Wal-Mart. Yes, fifteen.
Remember the “Secrets” about Law Of Attraction? If you’ve been reading personal development books all of these while like Think And Grow Rich, Science Of Getting Rich and so on, you’ll know that it wasn’t something very novel but it was an idea of “recreating” the concept and adding more energy to it. By the way, I believe the creator of The Secrets wasn’t a known person before and she literally leverage on other speakers and authors to achieve this phenomenal success. I bet she’s now a millionaire and she gets my highest admiration for her acomplishement today.
There are so many other people who became millionaires from nothing that are not ‘advertised’ on the internet or in the newspapers. Who knows, your neighbors might even be millionaires. Whether the millions are created from starting businesses or trading stocks, the internet have definitely made it much simpler for anyone. For the obvious main reason… the internet allows you to leverage on the world’s market. Whether you’re selling a product or becoming an author, the internet can help you do it faster.
To become a millionaire, you need a good idea.
But that alone won’t help you with anything because everyone has a million-dollar idea in them.
It’s the WILLINGLESS to act upon it.
Let me tell you something - most people are just like dead people walking with absolutely no energy and drive for success. They want the ‘easy way’ and that’s not wrong but the problem is, the ‘easy way’ doesn’t exist until you’ve taken the ‘hard way’. Then everything is ‘easy’.
A few hours ago (before I wrote this), I was driving in the parking lot area and a young man was in the middle of the lane, walking extremely slow. I stopped my car but did not horn him to avoid being rude and arrogant in my car. He stopped walking across the lane and looked up at me in the windscreen, starring for a while. Then he continues walking slowly with absolutely no urgency to move faster for me to pass, with a grudge on his face that he doesn’t wants to ‘lose’. (I’ve checked, he is not injured or anything.)
The weirdest thing is he felt intimidated because I ‘win’ that he has to move for me to pass, so he decided to walk even slower proving that he doesn’t needs to do what I want, to follow my ‘instruction’.
And secondly, he walked so slow as if he has nothing to live for.
Let me repeat – he’s not injured or just finish exercising.
Well, I could be wrong to be judgmental. The point is, I want to relate this to you because that’s HOW MOST PEOPLE ACT and wonders why they don’t become millionaires.
Young or old, there are people who are not willing to learn from others just to prove to themselves that they’re not ‘stupid’. Then there are people who find it extremely hard to compliment or admire others because they don’t want to feel inferior.
For me, when I see someone else’s success, I admire that. And if I get the chance to speak with him or her, I’ll be the first to tell him how great he/she is because his/her success is my inspiration to strive for greater success in life.
Understand this success principle – you’re not in competition with anyone, therefore, the inferior emotion is just an illusion created by your brain, basing on your environment and surrounding people. The only competition that you’re competing is YOU, to better perform what you’re capable of achieving today.
Remember the young guy who’s walking slowly? That will determine how he acts and thinks too. You know why people in Singapore are more successful than most other developed countries (based on ratio)? This is the same too in big cities because they are ‘fast people’.
When you move fast, you somehow gain energy and momentum. It’s a fascinating fact that your movement is connected with your mind.
You walk slow, you feel tired.
So if you want to create the habit of taking action, shouldn’t you be slightly faster in your life, in anything that you do?
Of course, use your logical mind - I’m not asking you to eat faster and choke yourself and so on. I know you’re a smart person, assert it yourself of what you should be fast at.
Until today, I haven’t met a millionaire that has no energy - they’re all energetic people in one form or another.
You see, energy equals passion. You got to be passionate when you’re doing what you’re doing to become a millionaire. I mean, if you’re not passionate with your own goal, how are you going to expect anyone else to be passionate of your dream and help you to achieve it?
Now, I want you to do something for yourself – believe that you can be a millionaire because that’s the very first step to realizing any dream into a reality. (If you’re already a millionaire, what’s your next goal? That is where you got to strive for now…).

Thanks for the insight. It helps to know that millionaires like you are also human. I spend too much time at work that I dont have time to plan my life.
My dream too is to become a millionaire and I have the drive to do so. what you have wriiten has encouraged me to believe that I too can make it for I have the enthusiasm to do so, the creativity. At the moment I do not have many people who speak into my life and that is why I resorted to getting encouragement over the web like this one. Thanks a lot and I hope to one day meet you in person and tell you how much I have benefitted from your resources and encouragements especially the ebook: THINK AND GROW RICH Napoleon Hill.
you are right but you know the place where you live has the big affect , i have the strong will to do what i want in this life but i\\\’m not in america or Singapore to do this , it\\\’s so difficult
Hi Patric,
You are absolutely right…
The keys to success are action and speed – find something to do, develop you SMART goals to break it down into manageable pieces and then do them with purpose! Another shortcut is to find successful people and to model from them – use their experiences as a shortcut that you can use to create your own success.
Keep up the good work with the advice,
Steffan

Thank you Mr, Chan. I have been following you for some time. One thing for sure, here in Africa we are underdeveloped and that goes with Environment we are in. Actionisation is key. I want to be a millionaire or successful. I tell you Am living in the Environment where they check every Investment. Am still in pain, in 2005 the Government arrested me, frozen all my Bank Accounts, regardless I have been paying Tax (V.A.T) with Tax clearance. You know why? because Am a so called Foreigner (Resident in Botswana whilst a Zambian). Most of my Business Am using Internet and it\’s very hard for them to understand how I make MONEY. Listen Chan, I bought your Models on Internet Money Making Business and I will go for it. This time no chance. You such an Angel.

Hey there Patric.
It was a great post.
I agreed that everybody can become a millionaire, it is how they put their state into their belief system.
And believe me (I know you experienced it), many of them are focusing about what they “don’t want”.
Thanks for sharing Patric
Thanks for sharing Patric! Could not agree more with what you said. In fact, it is really possible to be a millionaire. At times people are just too concern whether what they do will make them a millionaire or not but my point is that, just do it, do not worry or think so much about it. Along the way, something or some opportunities may come by, your initial idea may not make you a millionaire but along the way you may discover other paths. If you do not even try, you will never never know. Personally I just set a goal recently, I MUST have $10 million by 2016. I belief I can and I m taking massive actions now!
Iwould like to thank you for your great service .Many thanks
You\\\’re right Patric. You hit it right on the head. Very inspiring article. Everything is energy and if one has no energy he is dead. And dead people don\\\’t succeed. Also, I like your writing style – very clear and crisp. Take care.
You’re 100% right Patric … I have known this for a looooong time … thanks for the reinforcement … keep it coming.

Hey Patric,
I agree totally with what you have said, riches begin with your state of mind, therefore we are all capable of thinking, so it figures that we are all capable of being millionaires.
I would like to take the time to reccomend a book that I have just finished reading, I dont know if you have read it or not, however I would encourage everyone here to buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy of it, it is called \\
Patric Chan you just hit the nail on the head.
Action is the proof of passion.

Thanks for reinforcing the can-do spirit.
