Develop a Mindset for Success

Nevada, with facilities in 15 states, Silver State Helicopters generates over
$100 million a year in revenue. Jerry bought what he wanted and turned it
into an income-generating asset.
Millionaires buy what they want and then figure out how to use that pur-

chase to make money. Are you holding on too tightly to your current assets?
By increasing your ability to risk, you get more in return. The great
hockey player Wayne Gretzky put it this way: “You miss every shot you don’t
take.”
Recently, I had the great fortune to dine with rebel billionaire Richard
Branson, who founded Virgin Atlantic Airways. Faced with a decision to sell
his beloved airline and walk away with half a billion dollars—he put it all back
on the table and leveraged many billions more to start new businesses, includ-
ing travel into outer space.
Ask yourself today: What would a millionaire do right now? Spend two
hours arguing about a cell phone bill? Get stressed because they didn’t get a
decent raise? No! They would ask their boss, “How can I be in business with
you?” or, better yet, ask, “How can I start or buy my own business?” It’s time
to unleash the millionaire in you.
