Every day thousands of people dream of becoming rich. They imagine what it would be like to have more money than they know what to do with and, for a brief moment, leave their reality by playing 'make-believe'.
For most, this is as far as they'll ever get with this dream. They'll quickly snap back to their mediocre reality, for fear of stretching their boundaries too far.
But a relative few--the ones who have not lost their dreams--set off on a different journey, a journey like none they have ever experienced before. A journey so challenging, so demanding, yet so exciting, that it brings new life and new meaning.
In the end, unfortunately, many of these dreams are also shattered and all but a handful of people go on. This happens not from a lack of dreaming, nor even from a lack of desire, but from the lack of one simple thing ... knowing what rich people know.
There are thousands of success stories--many famous, many infamous--stories of people who took an idea or dream and built it into a winning business, and who became rich in the process.
If we can learn anything about success, it's those people we need to look to for answers to our questions. And when you do look at those success stories, when you break them down and find the best ideas and the most successful people, what they did to become rich is usually very simple.
The businesses and people that succeed succeed because they do the basics well. In most cases it's not about luck, clever finance, extreme technology or running ahead of the pack. It's about applying good, proven principles to whatever you do--principles that have been around for many years.
Usually that's all it is. Yet it seems too hard for many people, thousands of whom watch their dreams float away on long hours and lousy returns.
Most individuals go wrong, not because they don't know of these principles, but because they refuse to believe they're so simple, or they lack an in-depth understanding of them. Most think there is more to it, and constantly seek a complicated formula that takes them away from the real roots of success.
When I present this information, I've heard many people remark: 'I've heard all this before, there's nothing new here.' And some may agree after reading this book. It's straightforward, with straightforward ideas borrowed from many sources, too many to even recall. To those people I say, 'You may be right, but how well are you doing in applying these principles?' Knowing how to swing a golf club is one thing, but doing it correctly every time is another. Just knowing how to swing a golf club does not make you a champion golfer. And when it comes to business, you're aiming at being a champion.
Take time to observe the habits of great athletes. Sure, they may have talent we'll never have--but what they do, and what we can do, is master the basics. They practise them over and over again, for hundreds if not thousands of hours, out of the spotlight, out of the view of a cheering crowd, until one day they are consistently brilliant. They do this until the basics become second nature, and they can rely on them under pressure and adverse conditions. And they return to them whenever they hit trouble.
Over the years I've observed that it's exactly the same in any arena: learn what the basics are, practise them and use them well, and success will come.
The fact that you're reading this book suggests that you perhaps don't currently have all the answers, or know all the basics. You may feel you've tried everything. You've read all the books, listened to the tapes, attended the seminars, and still success--at least the success that you want to achieve--has eluded you.
That doesn't make you a failure. Nor does it mean you're stupid or unlucky. It means that you just haven't learnt the right things yet--the things that create the foundation of success.
This book brings us back to these basics--things that may have been said before, things the successful already know, and things that almost all the others never do.
If you don't know what they are right now you need to keep reading. And keep reading until you can honestly say that not only do you know these ideas, but you've made them a part of your daily life.
