Do you want to be rich?

Or would you rather be right?

Of course you can be both, that’s not really the point of the question. Given a choice, which would you rather be?

Some of you will have heard really successful marketers talk about the right mindset. In truth there are several components to the right mindset, but one of the most important parts is your need for approval from other people.

That single need that so many of us have, is a real obstacle to your success. Keith Matthew has an interesting discussion about it on his blog. I wont reprint what he said here because you can read it at his blog, but there is one sentence that I believe deserves singling out.

I bet that Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Bloomberg are all more concerned with getting things done than they are with social consensus.

It’s often said that the quickest way to success is to model someone who’s already successful. Do you think the names mentioned above qualify as successful? I certainly do.

That one sentence above probably gives you 90% of what you need to know to succeed and get rich.

Let’s break it down.

• Get things done – nothing beats taking some kind of action. Not even great planning. Now, great planning and action together – wow!
• Don’t sweat everybody else’s opinion of you. Hey, your parents, your kids, your spouse all have a big place in your life (or they should). But don’t worry too much about what the rest of the world think of your latest plan. They’re not the ones doing it. So when that ‘friend’ laughs at you as you discuss your new idea for creating a successful business, remember who laughed at Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and all the others like them. Not laughing now, are they?

Take action, above all else take action. Just make sure you learn from the results!
