How to get a billionaire's attitude

I was listening to an amazing conference call tonight and thought I should share that with you all. Bill Bartmann is the only homeless bankrupt gang member ever to become a billionaire and his conference tonight was about what we have to do to get a billionaire's attitude and how to achieve the results.

There were many things that could help most of you in that call, however, I wish to concentrate on how to get a billionaire's attitude because frankly, if you want to make it big, you all know that you have to hang out with those that have achieve that status and he certainly qualifies.

Here are the three main things you need to focus on:
  1. Be able to recognize a great opportunity when you see it.

  2. It is not only important to find a great opportunity at the right moment to be able to cash in our idea, but equally important if not more is the ability to recognize what COULD be a great opportunity.

  3. Replace your thinking of "It will never work" with "What if?"

  4. Don't assume you can't do this, take a bite out of the apple and see how it feels. Replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts and actions and you will see that everything around you will change.

  5. Treat people with dignity and respect

  6. Everybody deserves to be treated with respect. I have always lived with the motto "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The golden rule applies, especially in business. Don't be fooled into thinking that you can get away with anything. The truth is, you CAN'T. I find that when we treat the people around us as we would like to be treated, one of two things will happen. The countenance of our interlocutor will change or we will decide not to be associated with them anymore. Either choice is fine. The sooner you will realize that, the better you will feel about your business.

In closing, remember that "The only thing better than a great opportunity is one that everyone else cannot see and does not want."

  1. There are so many people out there who think you have to be that certain person to succeed. This is another example of someone who would look unlikely. But he was a success. It doesn't matter what we were in the past, the future is ours for the taking!

  2. Well said Julie. Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future and today is a gift, that's why they call it the present! We can all act today to change our future.
