Most people stay in the realm of fantasy, maybe dipping out occasionally to buy a lottery ticket. Others may not be satisfied with the 9 to 5 grind. Even among those who take risks, pouring energy into business ideas, opportunities, and companies, most will fail within three to five years.<\/p>\n

However, there are some people, few people, with the skill (which can be learned through modeling), willpower, and creativity who are successful. These people, above even the previous characteristics, have an attribute that I believe separates the rich from the poor. It’s intention. These people create financial intentions.<\/p>\n

Most people say their financial goal is to make money. That\u2019s a good goal, but the issue is that it’s not specific enough. After all, if you have wishy-washy intentions, you\u2019re going to get wishy-washy results.<\/p>\n

Create Financial Intentions<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rich Business People Have Three Financial Intentions:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Have a very high working income<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Create passive income<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Dramatically enhance the value of their company<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What\u2019s the intention that poor people have? To earn a living and a decent one, too. That\u2019s what they\u2019re in business for. They don\u2019t consider ways to create passive income. Even more importantly, they don’t consider ways to create wealth.<\/p>\n

    Remember, a business is not a job. A job is too much work along with too many challenges to earn a decent living. Design a business model that will be a vehicle to set you free and create nothing short of wealth! Rich people understand that business is simply two components:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Buying or creating something.<\/li>\n
    2. Selling it for more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And that’s it! Most broke people have struggles. They put most of their energy into the administrative and operations arena rather than the two simple business components, and that is a mistake.<\/p>\n

      Focus on the Intention<\/h3>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Of course, operations are very important, but it’s not the essence of the business. Go back to the cave people: \u2018Here\u2019s a piece of meat. I want your stick.\u2019 That\u2019s it! There\u2019s no tech support. There\u2019s no finance department, reporting, no furniture, and there\u2019s no computers. \u2018Your stick, my meat! Let\u2019s go!\u2019 That\u2019s business!<\/p>\n

      Business is buying and creating and selling. Everything else is just icing on the cake.<\/p>\n

      This knowledge helps focus the intention of why we\u2019re talking millionaire success strategies. The basics help, but the intention has to come from the simplest truth. When we\u2019re going into business, we\u2019re not going halfway. I mean, you can, but is that much better than working a typical job?<\/p>\n

      When we\u2019re talking about our money blueprints, the basics of why we go into business have to be drawn up into the foundation. It\u2019s so simple and powerful yet not very well understood. Knowing this gives you focus when challenges inevitably arise, or when you face disappointments and setbacks.<\/p>\n

      First and foremost, you are doing this because you are going to be rich!\u00a0Whatever other intentions are attached to that \u2014 for a family, to buy nice things, to travel, to be an artist, whatever \u2014 don\u2019t have to conflict with this truth.<\/p>\n

      You are doing this to be rich and free!<\/p>\n

      Exercise: Now it\u2019s your turn!<\/h3>\n

      Do you create financial intentions? Are they wishy-washy? Do you need to create financial intentions that are more in line with your goals? Are they solid and moving you forward? Share below \u2014 I want to hear from you!<\/p>\n

      For Your Freedom,<\/p>\n
