The One Minute Millionaire

recently, i'm reading a book called The One Minute Millionaire, a best selling book by Mark Victor Hansen & Robert Allen. Mark Victor Hansen is the author of the famous Internationally Bestselling Chicken Soup series. I came to know about this book after joining the forex investment classes and was strongly recommend to read it. for those who are interested, this is the website: http://www.blogger.com/www.oneminutemillionaire.com

there are some very motivational phrases which i like it very much and here's one of my favourite chapters:


"The Ninth Aha: Wealth is Freedom

Life is a seminar. You were enrolled at birth. You can't get out of it, even by dying. So enjoy it. You came into this seminar with no instruction manual. Allow this book to positively change that.

Financially you may be winning or losing just now. We want you to win. We want you to perpetuate your wins. We want you to catch what we call a "win-fection." With a win-fection, you become an unstoppable magnet that wins, and wins, and wins.

To prepare you for the seminar called "Your Life," we want to teach and inspire you to attract money, and lots of it. This is the incredibly important inaugural freedom - called money freedom. You want to have enough money so that all your future days are prepaid. You will work because you want to work, not because you have to work.

You can contribute big-time because you are no longer a wage slave, owned by your job. Because you are free to risk. When this happens, imagine the incredible difference you can make. You can expand your sense of who you really are and become the great server you were meant to be. You can set big goals. You can assemble your Dream Team(s). You can be a fully abundant person, fully functioning. You are a masterpiece in process - becoming ever better, more fulfilled, and totally happy.

Having accomplished your first evolutionary step of money freedom, you can now pass "go" and move on to time freedom. Time freedom doesn't mean you don't work, it means that your work is your play. Your play becomes your work. You savor it. You own it. Work does not own you. You feel comfortable and calm taking time off. You start by taking off an extra day here and there. You build up to taking off a week per month, or equavalently three months per year, when you can forget about work totally and completely. Yet your income continues to expand, increase, and multiply. When you return to work, you are rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to have breakthrough ideas that will leverage you forward.

With time and money freedoms, you can pursue relationship freedom. You and your loved ones will have one of life's more precious gifts - love and time to explore it. You can go deep into your primary relationship and make it sing, whistle, hum, and dance. You have what others only dream about - the freedom to make your commitment to each other deep, poignant, meaningful, intimate, and lastingly cherishable.

You can now investigate your spiritual beingness. You can work toward achieving spiritual freedom. You can discover who you are in God and who God is in you.

Let's not forget physical freedom. Health is the ultimate wealth. With time to exercise and money to buy the finest nutrition, nutritional supplements, and health care, you can maintain for as long as humanly possible.

These five great freedoms give you Ultimate Freedom - the ability to pursue your real genius. According to groundbreaking research by Dr. Howard Gardner at Havard University, each of us has genius in us. With Ultimate Freedom you have a choice to discover your true genius and how you can uniquely apply it."

i'm paving my way towards achieving these 5 great freedoms and hope that i can achieve them before my 30th birthday. wish me luck :)
