The Secret Motivation that Motivates You to Get Rich

What becomes possible when you discover that there is a person inside you for whom getting rich is no big deal? If you could talk to this person, what do you suppose you would learn about his or her motivation?

Suppose this person is the ultra-successful version of you and is totally at ease with the though of getting rich. In fact, this person finds getting rich “old hat.”

What do you suppose will motivate you when you have succeeded in a big way and banked a pile of money?

Imagine that you are this ultra-successful person in a future moment. Suppose you are looking back on this time in your life when you have yet to achieve the success of which you are capable.

Think about this ultra-successful person. Do you suppose he or she is motivated by even more money and an even larger net worth?

This may be so. However, it not as likely as you might guess.

Why? This person met his or her financial needs a long time ago.

And yet, he or she is probably still active in the business in which he or she made a fortune. In fact, this person is probably still seeking opportunity and still making bundles of money.

Here is why this is almost certainly the case. The ultra-successful version of you is in touch with a powerful reason besides the money.

Here is a principle of seeking your fortune: The reason that gets you started on the road to success is not the reason that sustains you in the long-term.

This means that once you make a certain amount of money, the money ceases to be the same big deal it once was.

This is not to say that it is meaningless! However, suppose you currently feel pressed about money and beset with money worries. What happens when you enjoy a huge success and make the biggest pile of money that you have ever made in your life?

Would you not happily and permanently put that feeling of being pressed behind you?

In a future moment, money may still motivate you. However, it will not have the same urgency that it once had.

And that is the point. The person you want to become that makes you rich is in touch with a powerful reason besides the money.

Why? The reason that gets you started on the road to success is not the reason that sustains you in the long-term. In other words, the person that you want to become that makes you rich is motivated by the challenge of making money, a sense of accomplishment, and the experience of making something out of nothing.

This person might be totally fascinated with the business activity itself or resonate with some other reason besides the sheer amount of money. Of course, this is not to say that the money is no longer meaningful! It is to say that one can find powerful motivation besides it.

So ask yourself “What motivates me at this point in my career and what is important as I go through my day?”

And imagine that you see the world differently through the eyes of the person you are becoming that is already ultra-successful. As you discover the reason besides the money, you get in touch with the person you want to become that makes you rich. And you will indeed get rich.

So think in terms of your powerful reason besides the money. Before long, you will have all the money you want.
