INTRODUCTION
In this book I will give you the key to the mindset of billionaires. This book is based on a year of desk study and field research into the mindset of my billionaire connections and other global billionaires. Stories quoted in this book are based on true stories.
I urge you to put into practice what you learn here even if you do not aspire to be a billionaire. By doing so, I can guarantee you will have an even more successful and fulfilled life. It is also important, though, that you maintain a balanced wheel of life. So please dont neglect your family during your quest or on your journey to being fabulously successful.
In 2013, according to Forbes Magazine, there are 1,426 billionaires globally. Who are these billionaires? Are they aliens? What are their secrets?
This book reveals the multitude of factors that contribute to their ultimate success. They are at the pinnacle of their success because they are determined to be there, no matter what it takes nor how long it takes. They are inspired by a legacy, something greater than themselves, be it to make a difference to society or to innovate for the greater good of humanity. You have probably already known or come across some of the factors I will be revealing here. However, have you already mastered and implemented them? Billionaires master them to perfection.
Success is in your mindset. You will be who you want to be when you want it badly enough and are willing to sacrifice enough to get there.
I hope you enjoy reading this book. To show my gratitude for your purchase, I have a gift for you at the end of the book.
Before we begin our journey together, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who are dear to me; to remember my roots and my late grandparents. This book is dedicated to my two late grandmas.
So, be enlightened, be successful and be healthy. See you at the pinnacle of your achievement!

TABLE OF CONTENTS
SECRET 1THE BILLIONAIRE MINDSET
1.1 Be open-minded
1.1.1 Delete your baggage of negative stories
As you experience more in life, your mind gradually gets clogged up with stories. Some are good, positive stories, some are bad and negative. These negative stories are closing down your mind, restricting you and making your life miserable and stressed. Your closed mind is then making you scepticalandnegativeaboutanypotential opportunities.
Delete all that negative baggage and open your mind again. Face every situation and opportunity with a fresh clean slate, free from any negative pollution, prejudgement or preconception.
Begin your journey by reading this book and develop your billionaire mindset by committing to this first important step.
Welcome to a new realm of possibilities and this new world of an open mind! It is a place of new opportunities and new enlightenment.
As you are reading through this book I would urge you to immediately put into practice every secret I reveal. If you can commit to this, by the end of this book you will have experienced a real change and a shift in your life.
1.1.2 When you seek, you will find
With your open mind and having committed to the first step described in the section above, start looking around. You will begin to see a new wealth of opportunities that you never knew existed before.
Billionaires receive thousands of business proposals because they are always looking for new opportunities and possibilities. Billionaires, such as venture capital and private equity billionaires, are masters at seeking out the opportunities with the highest potential of both success and profit.
So, keep an open mind and be receptive to any opportunities presented to you. Dont use words such as scam or impossible too readily. In fact delete those two words from your vocabulary. Analyse carefully any possible opportunities before jumping to any conclusion. To be a billionaire, you need to develop the knack of finding potential in any challenge you are facing. You need to develop the skill of turning that challenge to your advantage.
