I guess I have always been more spiritually aware than many people I know, and that could be explained by my mother being very psychic, who says she has actually seen and spoken to, relations who have passed over.
So in 1989 I was walking along Victoria Street in London on my way home from work with a pocketful of money because I had just been paid.
I passed a shop called Books Etc and decided to enter to see if there was anything I would like to read.
My First Spiritual Guidance
Looking back now, it is clear I was spiritually drawn to a particular bookshelf and one book in particular.
It was called “How To Think Like A Millionaire,”
That book was my first introduction to a lifelong quest not only for money but for constant, consistent, self-improvement.
Three Life Changing Principles
The three major principles in that book
- Believe You Will Get Rich
- Become Aware That Your Situation Will Not Change Magically If You Do Nothing About It
- You Must Passionately Desire An Improvement In Your Life
Though all new to my way of thinking, they were confirmation of that statement from the self-improvement gurus, “In order to change your life you have to change the way you think.”
The Millionaire Mindset
The book itself focused on ten successful entrepreneurs of the twentieth century namely
Henry Ford, Ray Croc, Paul Getty, Steven Spielberg, Aristotle Onassis, Soichiro Honda, Walt Disney, John Davison Rockefeller, Thomas Watson, and Conrad Nicholson Hilton.
Each story was an inspiration on its own, but there was lots of other advice through exclamations such as
- Think Small And You Will Stay Small
- I Believe In God, The Family, And McDonald’s But At Work This Order Is Reversed.
- To Succeed Work Hard, Never Give Up, And Above All Cherish A Magnificent Obsession
It was this last quote from Walt Disney about a “Magnificent Obsession.” that really influenced my mind to the effect that many years later I was able to build several businesses from almost no money into one million pound plus turnovers within three years just by making those ventures my “magnificent obsession.”
Another gem from the book was not only to believe you will get rich, but to also act like you are already rich.
Advice I noticed became popular after Rhonda Byrne had published her Law Of Attraction book ‘The Secret,’ in 2006
I took that advice from the book and bought a new suit, filled my wallet with one pound notes, and travelled to that lap of luxury, “The Dorchester Hotel,” in London.
There I ordered a drink and sat in the lounge surrounded by the very rich instead of all the people I usually mixed with on the bus.
The thing about that little adventure was that if I had not bought that book “How To Think Like A Millionaire,” I would never have thought of doing that.
Spiritual approach to becoming wealthy
That book and that day was to change the way I think forever.
For not only had I created a different physical experience, but I had also accessed creativity on a spiritual level too.
But I was not to realise what I had done until one day in the millennium year of 2000.
That was the beginning of what I now call New Model Thinking, the opening of the door to exponential creativity through spiritual guidance.
I hope you will be interested enough to want to know exactly what that means by reading my next and subsequent posts because they all lead to something of major benefit to the life of all who read them.
