10 Secrets I Learned From Millionaires In 10 Days

At the beginning of 2016, I went on the adventure of a lifetime. It was with a group of 46 social innovators and entrepreneurs called The Unstoppables. We were in Brazil for a 10 day collaborative think tank to help expand ourselves, our businesses and the contribution we are making to the world. To say the experience was extraordinary would not do it justice.

Along the way I learned a lot about myself, about business and what it truly means to be Unstoppable! I could never share everything I gained in one article, but I can share 10 invaluable key learnings and take aways from this incredible experience. Watch the video, or read the blog below to find out what they are and apply them immediately in your life and your business and be UNSTOPPABLE.

1. Self Care Is Essential

In order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves first. I saw this first hand on my trip with these larger than life philanthropic entrepreneurs. Having created multi-million dollar businesses, their attention is now turning to leaving a legacy through social enterprise helping others in developing countries with sanitation, education and sustainability.

One of their philosophies is, if you want to give 1 million dollars, make 2 million dollars.

2. You Must Back Yourself

If you want to succeed, you must be willing to back yourself, take calculated risks and do whatever it takes. A half hearted attempt will not produce any results.

What are you willing to do? What are you prepared to sacrifice? To what lengths are you willing to go to achieve your goals and dreams? Are you prepared to not just get out of your comfort zone, but smash your comfort zone?

3. Collaboration Is The Key To A Sustainable Future

All the multi-millionaires on the trip had partnered / collaborated with multiple people to get to where they are today. They also built a team of people who are supporting them in achieving their vision every step of the way. They are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses and know they can’t do it on their own.

Who’s on your team? Who’s supporting you? Who are you collaborating with to achieve you goals?

Stop trying to do everything on your own.

When you collaborate, you multiply your efforts many times over.

4. Nice Guys Can Finish First

These larger than life entrepreneurs are seriously nice dudes with big hearts and a desire to make the world a place. They care about others and have a vision of using their excess resources to make a difference to the environment and humanity in some capacity.

Their businesses are build on service and commitment to excellence. They value and look after their employees knowing that they are their most valuable asset.

5. Ask For What You Want

If you don’t ask, you don’t get. It really is that simple. And you might even get what you ask for!

You must be prepared with your ‘pitch’ to a potential investor and be able to present your business models complete with succinct, definitive explanations of the project, marketplace research and expectations, projected revenue, time frames, resources required, benefits for an investor, etc. Bottom line, know what you want, ask for it, and state your case clearly as to why you’re a good investment.

6. Your Environment Determines Your Level of Success

If you’re hanging out with naysayers and dream stealers, your chance of success is seriously limited. Being immersed in an environment with people who are possibility thinkers and know that every challenge has a solution is very liberating and uplifting.

Make sure you surround yourself with people who are uplifting; will support your endeavours and fuel your ideas; are able to see and share your vision; will challenge you to overcome your perceived limitations; will lift you up when you’re down; will call you on your BS; will celebrate your successes with you.

Seek these people out and spend as much time as you possibly can with them. They will guide you to places and achievements you never imagined possible.

7. Mindset Is Everything

Small minds produce small results, whilst expansive minds are capable of limitless possibilities.

Millionaires minds are wired for success. For these super achievers it’s a given that they can achieve whatever they put their minds to. They wouldn’t entertain any other possibility.

Do they have doubts? Of course they do! The difference is they don’t give them oxygen. They only fuel the thoughts and belief systems that support their success and achievement of their goals and fulfilment of their potential.

You must develop a ‘no matter what’ / ‘whatever it takes’ kind of mindset and attitude if you’re going to achieve your dreams.

Once you have a winning mindset, your success is inevitable.

8. It’s Not Your Resources, But Your Resourcefulness That Matters

OK. So millionaires do have plenty of financial resources. But most of them didn’t start out that way, and have you ever noticed that no matter how much money you have, you can always think up an idea that requires more than what you have? That is our nature, to expand beyond our current level of achievement.

And there were people on this trip who hadn’t yet achieved the millionaire status, but that didn’t stop them from dreaming big and finding the resources to fuel their visions wherever they could.

Whilst most people are complaining why they can’t do things because they don’t have the money, time, energy or resources, successful people are finding a way to make it happen.

9. Think Big! If You Can Dream It, You Can Do it!

‘Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.’ Napoleon Hill

Super achievers don’t dismiss wild ideas that are larger than life because they can’t see how, with their current resources or level of knowledge, they are possible.

They entertain new possibilities, expand their level of thinking, embrace new concepts and are willing to transcend their current model of the world and pioneer new horizons.

Thinking big with an attitude of ‘How is this possible’ is liberating and exciting. And it’s how our new world must evolve if we are to reinvent ourselves and transform our world into a better place where we solve the potentially catastrophic challenges we face and where all of us can thrive into the future.

10. Fundamentally, Millionaires Are The Same As Everyone Else

In essence, each and everyone of us is the same at the core.

We’re conceived and born the same. We all die. We all breathe, eat and sleep. The only difference between millionaires and someone who’s living an unfulfilled life of mediocrity is their mindset.

Our environment shapes us mentally and emotionally, but with brain euro-plasticity, we can change our present and our future any time we choose by changing ourselves.

Wealthy people have fears, doubts and insecurities, just like everyone else. They just don’t allow them to rule their life and determine their results. They focus on their vision and where they are going, not where they’ve been or all the reasons they could fail.

I had at least 2 potentially million dollar conversations on the trip that are going to expand my reach and impact and increase my net worth many times over. All because I backed myself and took a chance on something even though I had no idea what to expect. And I got a whole lot more than I bargained for!

What are your dreams and aspirations? What are you truly capable of? You are an extraordinary human being who has the ability to achieve more than you ever imagined possible. Embrace your brilliance, dare to dream BIG and decide right now to do whatever it takes to realize those dreams. Decide to be UNSTOPPABLE!
