Ten Steps to Successfully Having a Ten Figure Income

By Rob Walcher D.C.

When you see a Billionaire, Do you See Yourself?

Can you imagine yourself earning a ten figure income? Think about in terms of really happening; not just a dream of winning the lotterybut earning a ten figure income. In the United States there are in the arena of 3 million millionaires. With a population of 300 million that translates into about 1% of all Americans being millionaires.

Look even more closely and you will see that there are 360 billionaires in the United States. Can you see yourself as a billionaire?

The amount of people who are joining the class of super rich is growing daily. Once you become a millionaire you are only three orders of magnitude (1,000) to becoming a billionaire. So the difference in a millionaire and a billionaire is 1,000 million dollar sums of money.

Can you put yourself in that equation somehow? The magic number of steps it takes to reach millionaire status is ten. By figuring out where you are on the ladder and which steps you have left to complete you too can become a millionaire. Lets review them one by one.

1. You Must have a Vision

No one achieves success unless they have a dream or vision firmly implanted in their minds eyes. It is the first step to making your goal a reality. If you have no dream or vision than you are truly unmotivated at the deepest sense and will not become any more than you already are.

you got to have a dream if you dont have a dream how you gonna have a dream come true?

Lots of people walk through life static, never thinking they could achieve more. But you can and you have to dream it to become it!

So take this time to write out your dreams. Really think about what you want your life to look like. Go ahead and do that now.

2. You Must Have a Strong Why

You have to know why you want to be super rich. Not for the obvious things like material possessions but for the other reasons that you want to earn and live a wealthy life.

The reasons you pick have to be ultra compelling because they are precisely what is going to pull you through the hard times. Your whys should be much more than your wants, they should include the things that inspire your higher purpose and will keep you striving for more.

3. Surround Yourself with Successful People (Mentors)

Cows stay with cows, and so on. In other words, you have to surround yourself with mentors and other successful people who share your vision and see the future holding similar prosperity. Not only can you learn from their experience but they are like minded people who can teach you how to act wealthy and see it happen.

Many of the really successful ones have shared their challenges or tips in easily accessed forms of media. There is no need to try and blaze a new trail, just follow the one that works.

Market a Product that Can Earn 100K Per Month

Lets face it; you arent going to get rich selling $15 and $20 items. You need to find a means to making money that produces a big price tag and is a coveted tool that people will want.

There is an avenue that exists that will help make your dreams come true. Think about growing and earning your business on the big time level.

5. Network with People

Nobody needs the headaches of hundreds of employees. You can create leverage by creating a network of people that will essentially be working for your efforts but not for you.

This is such a true statement that it almost goes without saying. The sad thing is, so few people will walk this out in their lifetime.

Many of the network marketing opportunities available today offer individuals an amazing amount of leverage by using the efforts of many others. This must be included in your steps to earning a ten-figure income.

6. Use Your Head When Investing & Stay Out of Debt

The rich stay rich because they know what to do with the money they have. Middle class people work hard for every cent of their money while the wealthy make their money do all the hard work. You wont get rich paying interest or being in debt.

Think about it, the wealthy know how to get paid interest on their money. Find a reasonable, steady investment that offers consistent rates of return and low risk. Learn from the wealthy how to put your money to work for you and mimic their behaviors to be successful.

7. Healthy Person Wealthy Person

Another quote from J. Paul Getty: The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him " and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.

The truth remains that you can't live one part of your life in health, wealth and goodness and forego in other areas. Eating right, working out and taking care of yourself and living a healthy life will impact your body and mind. This will spill over to all areas of your life.

Your body is your friend. Treat it at least as well as you do your vehicle. (Would you put sugar in the gas tank of your car?) Your brain is also your friend " feed it more good news than bad.

8. Strive for Excellence

To strive for excellence does not mean you must be perfect. But it does mean you must do everything in your power to be the best you that you can be. This is closely related to #7, in that you cannot abuse your mind and body and still achieve greatness. Nor can your make half-hearted efforts in your endeavors.

Once you are on the road to greatness you cannot slip into hypocritical behaviors or thought patterns as they will eventually destroy your efforts. Dream big and seek only the fruition of that dream in all your life endeavors.

9. Envision Your Future

This step is closely related to #1. While it is imperative to have a dream (noun), it is equally imperative to dream (action verb). Keep your dreams and goals ever before your eyes by use of imagery and meditation.

Some useful tools are image boards, goal maps, dream boards but any vehicle you choose to solidify your dream will allow it to manifest in your life. You can write it in a journal, on index cards. The basis is to always see the dream coming true and look toward how you want your future to be. Focus on your intention and it will be.

10. Quitters Never Win

Always remember that you will make mistakes or err in your judgment and even make a few bad decisions. These may set you back a bit, but as long as you dont quit you have not failed. The difference in being successful and being a failure is your ability to make concessions and get moving again if you hit a pitfall.

If things begin to look increasingly difficult allow only positive reinforcement to redirect your thoughts and keep the dream alive and by all means " Keep on Moving Forward.

Remember that whatever you can believe and conceive you can achieve!
