Millionaires Are Like 10-Engine Super Jumbo Jets

I equate millionaires to super Jumbo jets that fly using 10 engines. Ordinary planes fly on 2 engines but jumbo jets fly on 4. The maximum  engines  seen on  a plane  are  8, made by legendary  aviator  Howard Hughes (H-4 Hercules, or ‘Spruce Goose’). But millionaires are champions  who  are  no  less  than  super  Jumbo  jets powered by 10 turbo jet engines.

For an example take the stories of Yahoo and Google for various reasons. They have a lot in common. Firstly they are the #1 and #2 search engines and websites by popularity. Honestly speaking, they are two giants. Secondly, both companies were started by two pairs of students. Both started in a small way but grew phenomenally. But most importantly, the minds and money blueprints of these four students matched the powerful mind-engines of millionaires.  You might  say  here  that  these  boys  were academically  merited.  But  then  there  are  hundreds  of thousands of brilliant students graduating from colleges and  universities  every  year.  All  those  students  do  not cause a phenomenon like Google and Yahoo to happen. Instead most of them would be happy to take up what they would believe to be a good job in a company like Google or Yahoo. They do not become the owners of such companies. Now that is the difference I am talking about. There  is  no  point  in  saying  “Those  four  were  lucky, everybody is not  so lucky  as them.” This is  an  answer typical of unsuccessful people. They justify their failure by passing on the blame to luck and fate.  You  cannot  make  a  huge  bridge  out  of  plastic,  or  a skyscraper out of wood. You need the right material to make  the  right  thing,  or  the  structure  will  collapse. Similarly, you cannot make a massive super Jumbo jet fly with weak propeller  engines. You need the right  stuff, always. The minds of these  students were made of the right stuff; the stuff with the power of 10 super turbo jet engines. So what was the composition of the minds of these four students  who  became  multi-billionaires  in  less  than  a decade? We shall discuss all this in this section.

Reading  and  accepting  the  principles  and  secrets  that form  millionaires’  minds  is  not  an  easy  task.  As  I mentioned in the previous section, your mind has been seasoned and conditioned for several years to give it the shape that it has acquired today. At your age, changing and re-shaping your mind is not as easy as it would have been in your childhood. There is a filter installed in your mind  called  the  sub-conscious  mind,  which  filters everything first. This subconscious mind is very devious. When you think you can do something, your subconscious mind is perhaps telling you the opposite. It sits  inside  you,  in  conflict  with  your  thoughts.  For example, in a competitive situation although you make the  best  efforts  to  convince  yourself  “I  shall  be  the winner”, your subconscious mind keeps reminding you of your past failures. It filters out your positive thoughts and allows entry of your deep-rooted negative fears. This becomes  the  cause  of  yet  another  failure.  You  will encounter a completely new line of thought in this article but your subconscious mind will try to stop those ideas. There will be a conflict of new ideas trying to enter your mind  and  your  subconscious  mind  fighting  back  and resisting them with your old inbuilt, inherent ideas. So it is necessary to have thought process of a millionaire to become a millionaire.
