A Chinese proverb says: “A journey of a million miles begins with a single step.”

There is more truth to this than most of us are aware of and this s why I’d like to focus my attention on the concept with this post today.

If I came to you and said: “I want you to get from 1 dollar to 1 million dollars by tomorrow.” Could you do it? Most likely not, unless you are Warren Buffet or Donald Trump, but even they may have a hard time only starting with 1 dollar.

As a result of the above thought, the majority of people decide that since there is no way to get from basically nothing to millionaire status they will not waste any time and effort to even try.

So let’s examine a way to make the concept more accpetable to the human mind. What do you think happenend if we change the amount and simply made the task to get from one dollar to two? Would that make it easier for you? Of course it would, but now I am sensing that we may have another issue.

Just like our mind doesn’t consider it possible to go from $1 to $ 1 million overnight, our ego is likeli to chime in and complain that one extra lousy dollar will NOT take you from poor to rich. Looking at that comparison out of context there is a valid point, but regular logic has no place when we are setting out on the journey from nothing to rich.

I don’t want to get into too much detail on this particular issue in this post, so I’ll simply say this. Look at the equation not as an absolute figure, but instead restate it in terms of growth accomplished:

Getting from $1 to $2 is actually double the amount, so we have a solid 100% growth here. Case closed.

For the rest of this post, I am going to ask you to suspend your disbelief until you have tried what I am about to tell you.

What if there was an easy way to get 100% growth for your money and what if that way required you to only make one small change in your thinking? You would try it, right?

So here is the easy task I have for you: Go and tune your intuition to finding money in any place you can !

Here’s what I mean: Write down the following sentence on a piece of paper and then read it out loud a few times to yourself

“I am now finding money wherever I go in an easy and relaxed way.”

This little statement will set in motion many things in your mind and trust me, while it may seem a little weird at first, you will suddenly and magically find small amounts of money in unlikely places.

Here’s what happened when I first followed this idea a few years ago. I went from $1 to about $5 in the matter of about a day because I started to see money everywhere. On the street there were pennies and nickels, in a pocket of pants that I no longer wear I found a dollar and in between my car seet cushions another one.

Of course, I understand that this is hardly a strategy to get rich from, but trust me the implications of whether you can pull this off or not are far reaching for your potential to attract more cashflow down the road.

So play along with me and most importantly have fun while you are doing it.

See you at the top…
