What Can You Learn from a Billionaire?

What do billionaires know that you don't? How can you benefit from learning a few new distinctions that could dramatically increase your results?

You probably have seen many books on the topic of becoming a millionaire. They have titles like The Millionaire Mind, The Millionaire Next Door, and Weekend Millionaire Mindset.

But what about billionaires? You may be interested to know that more than 2,300 people have won an Olympic Gold Medal, but only 1,125 people have become billionaires.

Please keep in mind that this group of 1,125 people includes people who had major help along the way: Many were born with it, inherited it, or had every advantage while growing up.

Then there's my friend Bill Bartmann. He became a self-made billionaire after being in terrible circumstances: His family was twice evicted from homes because the buildings were declared “unfit for human habitation.” He kept a pet dog, not to be his play buddy, but to keep the rats off him at night. Yet he went on to become a billionaire.

Here's where it gets even more interesting – Bill is willing to share with you the details of how he became a billionaire, and he would like to offer you an opportunity to partner with him in his current business. When have you had the chance to partner with someone who knows what it takes to build a multi-billion dollar business?

Be sure to listen to this audio from start to finish. You'll just as amazed as I am about his story.

In fact, by the end of the audio, you'll understand why Bill became so astonishingly successful and you’ll understand the opportunity that is available to you and me right now.

Learn from a man who has gone from bankrupt to billionaire. You don’t want to miss this!

What is a belief? Here are several explanations:

1) The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another: My belief in you is as strong as ever.

2) Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something: His explanation of what happened defies belief.

3) Something believed or accepted as true, especially a particular tenet or a body of tenets accepted by a group of persons

A belief is a feeling of certainty about something. Beliefs in many cases are not true. They are just beliefs. Beliefs are thoughts. Thoughts can be changed.

My belief in you is that you can accomplish whatever you set out to do.

Why do we believe what we believe? There are many answers to this question.

Here are a Few Factors that Influence our Beliefs:

*Our environment (present and past)
*Our associations
*Our experiences
*The media
*Our friends and family
*Someone who had influence with us told us

One time I met a man who said he was a negative person. I asked him why he believed that. He said it was because his family is negative. He thought it was hereditary.

My reality for you is that you are much stronger, more talented, and more skilled than what you believe.

Take a moment now to identify 3 of your limiting beliefs. Write them down. You've taken the first step in overcoming your limiting beliefs.

The most valuable lesson I learned from Jim Rohn was journaling.

On July 13, 1999 I was invited to a Jim Rohn seminar from my friend Courtland (I know the exact date because it was written in my journal).  Courtland was one of Jim’s relatives so he knew Jim very well.  The seminar started at noon.  I arrived at Courtland office around 11 am.  On the way over to the seminar Courtland handed me a present.  I opened it up.  It was a beautiful hardbound journal.  Courtland said “You can’t attend a Jim Rohn seminar without a journal!”  Courtland had purchased the same journal for Jim.  Courtland told me Jim had taught him to do things in pairs.  So when Courtland purchased the journal for Jim he picked up a second one for me.

Courtland and I sat in the front row that day.  I took 13 pages of notes that day.  Because I took the notes in a journal it helped me remember the key ideas Jim shared.  In fact I was reviewing the notes from that day just recently.  My favorite quote from Jim that day was:

“Service to many leads to greatness.” Jim Rohn

At the end of the day Courtland asked Jim if he would have coffee with us.  When the seminar ended we had coffee with Jim Rohn at the Disneyland Hotel.  That was then only meeting I ever had face to face with Jim.  At that time I was just getting started in sales training.  Jim was so kind to me.  He treated me as a peer even though I was just getting started.

I had such a great experience journaling that day that I made it a habit.  I have now been journaling for the last 10 years.  Journaling has had such a big impact on my life that I have been encouraging my students to journal for many years.  Thousands of my students now journal!

This all happened because Jim taught Courtland to journal who taught me to journal.

Here is a specific way to apply journaling to help you.

Anytime you attend a seminar, training, conference call, or team meeting have a hardbound or leather bound journal with you.  By making this a habit you will permanently capture all the great ideas that you learn.  After attending a 1 or 2 day seminar review your notes in your journal for 15 minutes per night for the next two weeks.

Here is another great Jim Rohn quote.

“Your goal is to share these ideas with others.”

Jim also had a big impact on my life through Tony Robbins.  Tony worked for Jim.  That is how Tony Robbins broke into the training industry.

Jim will live on through the people like me he has impacted that will continue to share with others what he has shared with us.

Have you ever had thoughts of fear that have caused you not to move ahead with any of your dreams or goals? Every human on earth at one time or another feels this "fear" and reverts back into their "safety" or comfort zone. The system was created to protect us in times of real danger, but we must learn when danger is real or caused by our imagination of what may happen...again.

What ability causes one person to face and overcome possible rejection at work, in school or in a relationship easier to handle, than someone who is paralyzed by the mere thought?

A man who goes after business like a tiger may be uncomfortable with women and therefore not be able to approach a woman for fear of rejection. A woman who is miserable in a relationship may be petrified at the thought of saying anything to her spouse in fear of the potential discussion or backlash. A child may not seek out other children to play with at school in fear of rejection. The list can go on and on from fear of leaving your job to fear of hurting yourself if you try something new.

So what is really going on and how can we stop this once and for all?

First and foremost understand that fear is a very common feeling and we all have one fear or another. The "feeling" of fear is almost solely based on what we think may happen if we try and fail. It is different than actually knowing that we will hurt ourselves if we fall 20 stories from a building.

Most Fears are Illusions We Create in Our Head!

Most fears are illusions we create in our own head based on past conditioning and not based on what is possible. As children, we are natural-born risk takers and for the most part we are fearless. The meaning we give an experience when we do not achieve the result we want determines how we "see" and "feel" the next opportunity that seems like the one we've experienced in the past.

If we experience rejection more times than we care to, we tend to mentally label the experience a negative one. Over time this becomes our belief and our beliefs, as you already know, become your reality.

What would happen if we changed the meaning of an experience we didn't like? What if we learned to label our experiences as "learning" or "interesting" experiences? Do you think your tolerance level would increase for trying again?

I have learned that people who really succeed in various areas of life often frame their experiences differently than those who quickly label the experience as a negative one.

When we feel fear, we are playing a mental trick that is not conducive to growth. All growth comes from stretching oneself past the comfort zone that limits us. Risk is a necessary part of the reward. You cannot have one without the other.

Let me suggest that you start to label your experiences in ways that serve you rather than limit you. We have very few limits except the ones that we set on our selves. And those are mostly out of fear from the past. Do not let your past control your present thinking. Step out and grow. Step out of your comfort zone and be free again!

There are many reasons you might not be achieving the level of success you are capable of. One of the reasons people under-perform is because they have a low self-esteem. And, in fact, low self-esteem can be a sales career killer.

If you want to increase your results, you need to raise your self-esteem. Begin to view yourself as even more successful than you have been. Start conditioning your mind that you will increase your income.

One of the reasons you may have a low self-esteem is that your believe may be holding you back!

What are your limiting beliefs? Which beliefs are holding you back from achieving your goals?

Here is a short list of limiting beliefs that may hold you back:

-I am not experienced enough.
-I don’t have a college degree.
-I am too old.
-I don’t have any money.
-I don’t have any time.

Make a list of your limiting beliefs. Once you have done that cross out each limiting belief and write next to it an empowering belief. For example: Instead of saying “I am too old”. Say, “With each passing day I gain valuable wisdom that will help me.”

Cross out each Limiting Belief and Write an Empowering Belief!

Take the time to create powerful, positive affirmations and read them each and every day.

If you take these steps, you will conquer the limiting beliefs which hold you back.
