7 Mental Shifts That Allowed You to Become a Millionaire at 22

 Here are the seven mental
shifts can implemented to turbo-charge you growth.
1. Age is just a number.
Embrace your youth wholeheartedly. If you spin your
age as an asset, which can be done in a variety of
ways, it can be an extremely powerful
differentiator.
The moment you begin to give yourself an excuse for
not being successful is the moment of almost certain
failure.
If you believe you can really make it then you will
make it. Besides, there is nothing people want to see
more than a hard-working, intelligent and dedicated
young professional who succeeds. Create a snowball
of momentum that makes people want to be a part of
your life.
2. Reinvest in yourself.
The safest investment I’ve ever made is in my future.
Read at least 30 minutes a day, listen to relevant
podcasts while driving and seek out mentors
vigorously. You don’t just need to be a master in your
field, you need to be a well-rounded genius capable
of talking about any subject whether it is financial,
political or sports related. Consume knowledge like
air and put your pursuit of learning above all else.
I also believe that it is critically important to spoil
yourself to a healthy extreme in order to reward your
hard work and avoid burnout. Consider splurging on
memorable experiences and luxuries that will
enhance your lifestyle. I get a weekly massage like
clockwork, and it is one of the best productivity hacks
I employ.
3. Avoid decision fatigue.
Attention is a finite daily resource and can be a
bottleneck on productivity. No matter the mental
stamina developed over time, there is always going
to be a threshold where you break down and your
remaining efforts for the day become suboptimal.
Conserve your mental power by making easily
reversible decisions as quickly as possible and
aggressively planning recurring actions so you can
execute simple tasks on autopilot. I know what I am
wearing to work and eating for breakfast each day
next week. Do you?.
4. Build a resilient mind.
The biggest differentiator between mediocrity and
meteoric success is the ability to work productively
for hours at a time. These long stretches are when
important work is almost exclusively completed.
Focus is paramount and, without intentionally
developing mental stamina, you won’t be able to
effectively compete with those who have
systematically built up their endurance over decades
in the business world.
Fast track your skills by being mindful of distractions
and recognizing when you begin to wander out of
focus. Perform a thorough analysis of your daily
activities each night and aggressively seek
opportunities for improvement.
5. Think big. Be big.
The science behind goal setting and its remarkable
ability to accelerate success is infallible. If you don’t
already have your one-, five- and 10-year goals
written out and visible to you on a daily basis, do so
right now. I read mine the second I wake up every
single morning. Now ask yourself, what would have
to happen to accomplish your 10-year goals in just
one year?
The inherent power in maintaining consistency with
your acknowledged goals can work both positively
and negatively, and is cause for concern if you
anchor yourself to a slower timeline of achievement.
Be mindful and diligent in charting an optimal path
that pushes you to your limit.
6. Be methodical.
Plan your work and then work your plan. Perhaps my
biggest breakthrough was large-scale automation of
my marketing systems. I created a process that
allowed me to quintuple my marketing output while
increasing my conversion rate considerably.
The simplest way to put your own content plan in
motion is to create a multi-step campaign that
touches a prospect through a variety of different
mediums every week for at least a month. Follow a
logical order and craft your content in a persistent
way, while never becoming annoying.
Not in a sales role? You can take a similar approach
to any analytical, creative or administrative position
by developing rigid organizational systems that help
improve your efficiency when faced with repetitive
tasks.
7. Believe in yourself.
If not you, then who? Someone has to make it, and
nothing is stopping you from being the person who
accomplishes your wildest dreams. Nearly every
person who has ever failed has had an excuse.
Successful people have stories of the challenges that
they overcame with creative solutions. The moment
you confidently feel that there is nothing you can’t
learn or develop to solve the most complex of
problems is the moment of guaranteed greatness.
If you still aren’t sure how to begin, start with a
promise to work towards the achievement of
consistent excellence each moment of every day. This
is the basic building block and mentality with which I
am building my career.
Keep it simple and remember that success is not an
entitlement. If you really want to excel, you have to
get out there and earn it every day for the rest of
your life.
