16 To fit into the calendar year the Dec/Jan issue has become the Jan/Feb issue. This will not affect your subscription at all, the Mar/Apr issue will be out from the third week in February. With the dark nights drawing in, shop windows filled with Christmas trees and people busy buying gifts for their loved ones, we shouldn’t forget those that aren’t as fortunate as ourselves. We all have our ups and downs in life, staying strong and focused isn’t always easy. We all have a destination that we want to reach, the thing is we can only reach this destination when we are willing to invest in ourselves. Self-confidence is the state of selfassuredness and trust in oneself and one’s abilities and strengths. It’s the state of hopefulness that one can succeed. It’s all about feeling comfortable in different situations, even if their outcome is unknown. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. “If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” ~ Albert Schweitzer Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013. Happy reading

Who wants to be a millionaire? Have you ever asked yourself “why am I not a millionaire yet?” Every day, people get up in the morning, go to work like everyone else and do things like everyone else. But ask them why they do it and they just do not really know. Wouldn’t it be simply to have enough money so you don’t have to worry about money?
A
friend of mine has always been so busy with her two jobs and in our recent conversation I asked her. “Do you want to be a millionaire?” No, she said. I then asked her why not? “I just do not want to have that much money,” she replied. Conformity can be your worst enemy. If you do what the crowd does, you will get what the crowd gets. For the vast majority of people when they think of becoming a millionaire the first thing that comes in mind are words like “I can’t”, “I’ll never”, “I don’t know how...”, “I wish I had…”, “I am broke…”, “If only I were born into a wealthy family” or “With this gift or that knowledge” or “If I went to that college” or “had that thing happen to me, I would be wealthy”. And they don’t have a clue why they are not millionaires! No wonder why Earl Nightingale in his book ‘The Strangest Secret: How to Live the Life You Desire’, said that “We can`t become anything but what we think!” In other words: “We become what we think about all the time.” Talent and hard work without exact goals often leads to frustration. Most people’s financial goals are set for
generating thousands, not millions of pounds; some people’s financial aims are set for generating hundreds, not even thousands; and some people’s financial goals are set for below zero. There are billions of people who want to be millionaires, but relatively few are. Research shows that less than 5% of the population are actually wealthy or millionaires. So, is there any secret to becoming a millionaire?
How do you become a millionaire? Just as there are successful paths to climbing Mount Everest, there are proven routes and strategies for becoming a millionaire. In their book ‘Why Do You Want To Be Rich’, Robert T Kiyosaki and Donald Trump pointed out that “We are all born rich”. We all have been given the most powerful lever on earth – our minds. So use your mind for leverage to make you rich rather than to make excuses. If you take exactly the same actions and have exactly the same mind set, chances are you will get same results. Most millionaires are motivated by their desire to gain financial independence.
They consistently do the things that turn their beliefs into realities. As the philosopher William James said so accurately, “Believe that life is worth living and your belief will create the fact.” Robert T Kiyosaki pointed out that the difference between rich people and the poor and middle class is not just that they set goals but, simply, they also use leverage to become millionaires.
What types of leverage can one use to become a millionaire? In their book ‘The One Minute Millionaire’, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen define leverage as “about maximizing your results in a minimum amount of time”. They also suggested that most millionaires are masters at using all five kinds of leverage to make their millions. Without leverage you will not go very far or not as far as you are capable of going. The more leverage you have in your added-value activity, the easier and faster you become a millionaire. 1. OPM — Other People’s Money. In real estate you borrow the money and buy houses and you rent the property. You are using OPM to make you rich. Thousands of people have become millionaires using this system. 2. OPE — Other People’s Experience. It takes too long to learn it yourself, so borrow or learn from others. The easiest way to become rich is to apprentice personally with someone who is rich. One idea you learn can save you 10 years of work effort. The cheapest and quickest way to gain OPE is by absorbing lifetime bodies of information and insight — compressed into instant usability from books, CDs, films, videos, and seminars. 3. OPI — Other People’s Ideas. There is an old saying that, “If you want to fly with the eagles, don’t swim with ducks!” Your objective is to associate with people who can share with you their powerful money-making ideas. If it is your desire to build wealth, get close to people who have succeeded in building wealth and learn how their minds work. 4. OPT — Other People’s Time. Persons often sell you their time, talent, connections, resources, and know-how relatively inexpensively. Leverage yourself with professionals who are excellent and unique at employing their abilities. 5. OPW — Other People’s Work. Hire and delegate to them everything that you don’t want to or can’t do as well. Leverage yourself through other people and grow.
