Imagine that you’re home alone one afternoon, fall asleep in your easy chair, and begin to dream. In your dream you meet someone who gives you the greatest moneymaking device known to man. It has the potential to create an enormous and unlimited amount of wealth for you.

The stranger gives you the moneymaker at no cost. But he hands it to you with serious look and warns, “read the manual first. The money maker is a two-edged sword. Use it correctly and you’ll become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams. Misuse it and you’ll encounter nothing but misfortune and poverty. It doesn’t come with a warranty and you can’t return it. But with proper maintenance and use, it will only get better. Good Luck!”

The stranger vanishes and you wake up, disappointed to realize that is was only a dream. Oh Boy! it seemed real! You were given the solution to all your material problems, and in an instant, reality took it away.

No it didn’t. The truth is that you already own a money maker. But unlike in your dream, your money maker is capable of much more than just making you rich or poor. It can make you happy or sad, literally take you anywhere you want to go, and allow you to create the life of choosing. In fact, that’s what it has been doing for your entire life. You see, the real money maker is in your mind.

Unfortunately, the real life money maker doesn’t come with a owner’s manual, and that’s one reason why it’s so often unused, misused and abused. Most of us just don’t realize how much potential is lying dormant between our ears. So, we take this tremendous gift for granted. Use it for relatively small jobs, and consider it a cruel twist of fate that a few people have so much while they have so little. We rationalize the wealth of others with statements like:

They’re gifted.
They’re a special case.
They have all the right connections.
They were in the right place at the right time.
They inherited money or can’t miss opportunity.

And let’s not forget the all time favorite, “They’re just Lucky.” Lucky? do you know that 80% of today’s millionaires are self made?

What keeps most of us from acquiring the wealth and freedom we want isn’t our IQ, family history, level of education, race, sex or bad luck. It is the way we think. Life is a game played between the ears. The way we think determines the decisions we make. The decisions we make determines what we do. And what we do determines how successful we become. Change your thinking and you change your decisions. Change your decisions and you change your behavior. Change your behavior and you change your life. Most people don’t realize this, and those who do, how many are willing to change? very, very few.

A lot more of us would be willing to change if we only realized the freedom and riches that come out of it. But that leads to a very important question. “what kind of thinking does it take to become financially independent in today’s world, working a small business with employees?” That’s the question you have to ask yourself with a perfect business mind set. With the right mind set you’ll make more right decisions and success will follow your decisions.

Are you making the right decisions today?
