How often has the struggle been in the breaking headlines as of late about the supposed battle between the 1% and 99%? The lines are drawn distinctly when it comes to the differences of the annual incomes of the top 1% earners and the remaining 99% of humanity. Is it a privileged class that knows the secrets to success? What if you could learn a way to develop the psychological mindset that can bring you all of the success and happiness that is enjoyed by the mysterious 1%?
Beyond the rhetoric and arguing both the 1% and 99% have legitimate points as to why they are the way they are. The upper class says that the impoverished simply do not apply sound business principles to get themselves out of their situations. They feel that the poor fail to recognize that money needs to be used as a tool to make even more money.
Those that live paycheck to paycheck argue that there is no other way. They have to pay the bills and this leaves little to do but save a few pennies and hope things work out for the best. It is true if they are not aware of the process it takes to change the thought processes and be more receptive to opportunities to change their lives and be more successful. This book will bring you that blueprint. All you will have to do is get started.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a method of retraining and conditioning your subconscious mind to get you into position to seek out and gain the success you desire in your life. You can easily learn how to incorporate NLP into your daily life and begin thinking and making decisions like the 1%. It can transform your life. Are you ready to learn how the 1% do it? Follow me!
Chapter 1: Who Are the 1%?
There is no question that money provides power and freedom. Without it you are just another citizen that is available for a head-count. Those with the money and the power are the real decision makers of the world. It is what visibly separates them and places a barrier that seems impossible to cross over for the average person. How do they do it? Is it luck? Have they just won the lottery of life?
The fact is they have done their homework, developed the right belief system and consistently followed through with good decisions to get where they are. That does not mean there arent some that have inherited money, but there are many that have come from bleak backgrounds and made it big.
The financial barrier in this day and age that separates the 1% and the 99% is about $500,000 dollars a year. That is the threshold at which you enter into the world of the 1%. Most people do not make anywhere near that annual income level, but the ones that do many times exceed that number by a large margin. It is true that there are more millionaires than ever before, but there are more people living at and below the poverty line than ever before as well. The disparity levels in many parts of the world are just a sign of the times we are living in. Millionaires and billionaires are enjoying the good life while on the other end of the spectrum many people are struggling make ends meet. This unfortunately probably will not get any better, it will actually worsen.
Are you doomed to live this way your entire life? Will you never be able to master life and enjoy the success you really desire? It is possible if you learn to think like the 1% and model all of the things that they do right. Use it a formula for success.
Just because there are high levels of disparity, it does not mean we should not dare to dream or believe in any better for ourselves. Actually, the people who manage to remain ambitious and determined through adversity can still achieve that which they have aimed for. Remember that the people we look up to for their own success are people who refused to let the rules of many dictate their own lives. They looked beyond their possibly impossible circumstances and did everything with that ultimate goal in mind.
Whether it was to own their own company or climb up the ranks to reach the top of the food chain of an organization, these people managed to achieve this by believing that they could be more than everyone around them. It is true that circumstance has made it impossible for people to reach their dreams, but it shouldnt be something that forces us to work less, or not try as hard as we are supposed to. If anything, it should force us to do more as we aim for success.
There is no person on this earth who becomes successful without having the thought first planted in their mind and the vision at the center of every move they make. What makes people jump from a dream to a reality is always having the belief that the dream will at some point become real if they add hard work and remain dedicated to what they plan for their lives. Success never starts with the tangible; like all things it begins in the mind and then the person puts in enough work to make it materialize. Many people who are the 1% starts off as the 99% and then they work their way up to reach their goals. You must therefore always remember that your way of thinking easily impacts how well you will do. If you do not believe that you can achieve something, there is no way you can push yourself to work hard and stay on the path to reach your goals.
Chapter 2: What Makes the Difference in the 1%
What are the things that make the people that comprise the 1% different? They place a great deal of value on acquiring and retaining large sums of money. Consequently they are able to find the ways and means to both get and keep money in large amounts. It isnt the thought of having a lot of money that makes the difference, although that is critical. It is the high importance they place on money that makes it one of the most important things they do each day.
Not only is it imperative to place a great deal of importance on having money and making money, but you have to set the right goals and make sure that you reach them on a consistent basis. Wealth isnt obtained overnight. It is a willingness to push through perceived problems and get to the goal line.
Wealth not only takes time to attain but it also takes a high amount of dedication. Imagine the fact that most people want to be wealthy and wish they could make a certain amount of money to afford a certain item, but only a handful of these people achieve it. The rest spend their lives dreaming as opposed to the fraction that actually manage to reach their goals. What sets these people apart from the rest? Are they luckier and more special?
Maybe they are but the fact is they set their mind on their goals and remain fixated and focused on it. Whether it is about getting money to buy a new house, or money to support their lavish lifestyle- they make it happen because they really want it and even if they face adversity they keep that goal in their minds and it keeps them going even when they face the tough times or setbacks. What makes a difference in the 1% is not only saying they want to be wealthy but the deep belief and trust that they will achieve it.
If these are not things that you are comfortable with or feel you cannot do, NLP techniques can make all the difference. It will help you train your brain to both think in a new way and come up with the solutions it takes to meet your goals. Those in the 1% may or may not have learned how to become successful using NLP, but NLP is centered on what the 1% does and does effectively to create the best life imaginable.
