An interesting thing happened to me this week. Earlier in the week I was telling one of my co-workers about my 10-year plan to become a multimillionaire. I told him how I was going to do it, the steps that I needed to take, the risks involved, everything. Sure there were a great many details I did not not, but when you have intention, the way will present itself.
A few days passed and as I was leaving, he was coming back from lunch with two other guys. One of the guys looks to me and says, “So Ro, I heard you are going to be a millionaire.” I looked him square in the eyes, and said “Within 10 years, yes I a millionaire.” All the guys looked at each other, smiled and said, “Alright, well good luck with that.” I said thank you for the support, and left.
Now I am no fool, I know that they were making fun of me, thinking that I’m crazy thinking that I’ll be able to live an abundant life, but that is exactly why I am happy. Lets take a look at some stats from Wikipedia about millionaires.:
| Region | Regional Population | Percentage of Regional Population |
| Global | 9,500,000 | 0.15% |
| North America | 3,200,000 | 0.62% |
| Europe | 2,900,000 | 0.41% |
| Asia-Pacific | 2,600,000 | 0.06% |
| Latin America | 400,000 | 0.07% |
| Middle East | 300,000 | N/a |
| Africa | 100,000 | 0.01% |
Right off the bat, the likelihood of becoming a Millionaire is very slim. So what do the majority of the people in life do? They don’t even attempt it and give up hope of living an abundant life. Instead their lives are controlled by others who tell them how much money they can make, when they can go on vacation, how many kids they can have, what kind of car they will drive, and what type of house they will live in. They work hard for raises that will now let them afford a 50″ TV instead of a 46″.
The majority of the population never even gives any serious thought to the abundant life that they can have, that they deserve to have. So why would I want to be like that? Why, if I am given this incredible gift of life, would I not want to live in in the abundance that we all deserve. So if people do want to think that I am crazy for wanting to become a millionaire, then go right ahead, because by just thinking about it, I am already one step closer than the majority of the people out there.
