Getting Paid for What You Love? Here's How...Exactly

Getting Paid for What You Love? Here's How...Exactly

by Kevin Hogan

How can you leverage the secret of the millionaire mindset and millionaire thinking to become the next millionaire next door? What do millionaires do differently for how to get rich and to how to make more money than most people?

I'll let you in on some secrets and will tell you exactly how....

Claim: You can get paid a lot of money to sit on a beach, travel, sleep, eat good food, stay at the finest hotels, travel first class and pretty much anything I can think of...IF you are willing to let people in on the secrets of what you learn while you're having fun.

WHAT?!!

HOW can you get paid to sit on the beach sipping drinks and getting a tan?

If you can share the experience with a lot of other people, it's no problem.

Quick example...

I've never been on a cruise. Who knows why. But I know a lot of people who have...and most of them travel for free. In fact, most travel for free and get paid to take the cruise.

It's not rocket science.

Let's real quick run the simple math and scenarios.

Option A: Get 10 other people to go on a cruise with you and you go free. S.O.P. (Standard Operatiing Procedure.)

Option B: You love cruising and are going to lead a tour of the Caribbean with the help of your favorite cruise line. You and your significant one decide you want to go for free. You bring 20 people and take people to the neatest places.

Option C: You have some expertise in SOME area. Photography, magic, hypnosis, bird watching. You don't want to travel with anyone, but you do want to travel free. So you simply offer to give four one-hour presentations to others interested while cruising. You travel free. And you build a clientele at the same time. Any field, any subject. Cruise lines are thirlled to have you on board if you provide "entertainment" and help give other people a cruise they will remember. It's hard for me to think of something you can't get paid for on a cruise...

OK...

So wait... you build a clientele on a cruise ship by giving 3-5 presentations during the trip. i.e. you get paid to vacation in the sun, travel to exotic places and have fun.

Sounds pretty OK to me.

Option D: You pay for your cruise in full but keep meticulous track of everything you do, how fun it was, what others should do and not do, how to get the most out of that cruise and then you can sell an ebook online. Google Ad: 10 dangerous thing you better avoid while cruising the Caribbean. 19.95. 100 copies sold is $2000 and that covers most three day cruises and make a thousand to boot.

Option E: Do it right and combine all of the above.

Total additional thinking required...almost none.

All of a sudden...you're getting paid a lot to live the life you want to live. You're living the life of a millionaire. Doesn't take a lot of creativity. (If I can think of it, it must require very little creativity indeed!)

But what if you don't want to make a presentation to a group on a cruise? Say you just like laying on the beach and being lazy.

No problem.

Your Success Rituals for Millionaire Mindset thinking

Success Rituals

By Kevin Hogan

This theme has been exploding in my mind for the last couple of months. Having gone deep into the subject of rituals at length with Richard Brodie (author of Virus of the Mind) and Ross Jeffries (World class hypnotist and President of www.seduction.com), this June in Las Vegas, I've again concluded that rituals are one of the most powerful tools of installation (internalizing new beliefs, values and behaviors) into individuals.

Think for a second.

What purpose is served by having your family at the dinner table every night?
Of course, it helps keep the family unit together, alive and thriving.

What purpose does performing the Rosary do for a Catholic?
Right. It reduces the stresses of daily life, focuses the mind, and brings the person deeper within their spirituality.

Why say the Pledge of Allegiance before school?
To give a daily reminder to the children of the USA that they are part of a country that weighs liberty and justice as it's core values.

Before I give a presentation, I have a ritual of briefly shutting out the world and seeing myself on stage giving the performance of a lifetime and having every member of the audience excited, soaking up new information and being incredibly appreciative...watching the audience come up to the stage with smiles and their faces and "WOW!" on their lips.. I take about 3-5 minutes with this visualization/self hypnosis. The result: Almost always precisely what I visualized.

I have to confess that I've been put off by a lot of formal rituals in the past. And I still am. Not all rituals serve a constructive or useful purpose. But all rituals do have one thing in common: Rituals deeply install behaviors, feelings and beliefs into our minds and hearts. Something to keep in mind when performing someone else's rituals and creating your own!!!!

What success rituals do you have?

What failure rituals do you have?

Are they developing your ability to make money?

Are they developing your millionaire mindset?

Write out a long list of rituals you perform daily or weekly that you didn't personally choose or decide upon to be your own.

Write down a feeling you would like to experience more often and create a simple ritual that will help you access that feeling.

We're going to revisit success rituals a lot for the balance of the year. Keep watchin!

What MONEY Can and CanNOT Buy (me love...)

Money Can't Buy.....
and some of what it can....


By Kevin Hogan

It's interesting to me that when so many people want to become the next millionaire next door that they haven't really examined the millionaire thinking and mindset of a millionaire. Just take a look....

Can't buy me love.....

Money can't make you happy...
Chocolate can't make you happy (well ok, maybe chocolate...)

I'd rather be happy than rich...
I'd rather be a carpenter than a Democrat...

People think and talk about truly important things as if they are related...or not...as if what they are saying and thinking makes any sense in the real world....

Think about it...

• "Money can't make you happy...."
• Books can't make you happy...
• Lamps can't make you happy...
• Bicycles can't make you happy...
• Pants can't make you happy...
• Lipstick can't make you happy...
• Haircuts can't make you happy....

Money doesn't buy happiness...
But books, lamps, bicycles, pants, lipstick, haircuts and dvd's...a different story, yes?

Of course not.... they have absolutely nothing to do each other.

But better is when people say, "Well, I'd rather be happy than rich."

And I think. Hello? How stupid are you?

I sarcastically think, "Well, I'd rather be a carpenter than a Democrat...because after all that statement makes a lot of sense too... right?"

Uh huh.

People think, hold onto and live thoughts and beliefs that don't even connect together and worse...they have no functional value in real life.

I'd rather be happy than stupid.
I'd rather be happy than smart.
I'd rather be happy than a home owner.
I'd rather be happy than have nice hair.
I'd rather be happy than have clear skin.
I'd rather be happy than thin.
I'd rather be happy than be a dog.

Why are people drawing these parallels in their minds?

Cold Hard Money Reality from the Millionaire Mind Thinking - Adding to the Kettle

Adding to the Kettle

Mr. Politician decides to become a banker and suggests that we (all 10 of us) borrow TONS of money from our own bank. (It sounds convoluted and illegal but actually this is how it works.) Now obviously there is NO MONEY in the bank so we have to borrow little Billy's Monopoly money...and the 10 do and IT goes in the kettle too.

So he borrows 500,000 dollars PER PERSON of the 10 (This is real by the way....2007...) and GUESS where that money is going to come from when it's time to pay it back?

Inequity?

Unfair?

Uh huh.....

It's starting to look like the 7 knew what they were doing. Party, balance and have the two pay for it when the decade passes...

But that's only because the 7 think short-term.

Those 7 are in for an utter disaster that they can't see coming. And they're not even looking.

The 2 see the tsunami coming, and they go swap their remaining pieces of paper (money) for gold and stuff like gold.

Why?

That's part of the Money Secret Part Two, where those who steal or benefit from theft experience what John Lennon called Instant Karma (except slower)....check back for more advise on how to create wealth, building wealth, creating your millionaire mind and develop your millionaire thinking. Who knows? You could become the millionaire next door?

Cold Hard Money Reality from the Millionaire Mind Thinking

Cold Hard Money Reality from the Millionaire Mind Thinking

The Cold Hard Reality of Money, How to Acquire It, How to Make It Multiply, How to Keep Everyone Else's Fingers Off of Yours...The Game of Free Choice (and Playing Along)

By Kevin Hogan

Every person had FREE CHOICE to choose their job and their lifestyle 10 years ago.
They chose to party, have balance and have a total family life. Very reasonable choice. Nothing wrong with that choice. No judgment.

But they didn't plan to become a millionaire next door. They didn't start their own home business. They didn't work on becoming the next internet millionaire. No problem. Their choice.

However....

But now Mr. Politician convinces those that balanced, that where the 10 of us has come to - is inequitable.

Damn right it's inequitable.

We lost out on 10 years of partying, familying and balancing. And now we've got to play while the other 8 get to bust their butts and pay for the roads, national insecurity, welfare, art in the White House and other such necessities....right?

Wrong.

Nope.

Silly Kevin...

The majority is broke because of their decisions. And the majority has determined that although everything that happened to them was their choice, now it is time to make something happen to you and I...leaving you and I NO CHOICE.

"Allow us to steal from you voluntarily submitting or we'll have you tossed in the whosgow."

Now. This isn't the way it was set up from day one.

From day one we lived in a free society. A society of choice. A society where women decided what to do with their bodies and where you and I decided to bust our butts to secure our future for our families.

But you and I were foolish about one thing...

In a tone reminiscent of Bill Murray in that magnificent 1981 movie, Stripes, we were STUPID enough to believe that the rules wouldn't change.

And the new tax now goes from 15% to 40% on all people in the room earning over 100,000 annually.

The doctor is REALLY torked. He's what's known as "middle class." The guy worked 55 hours per week. Worked hard. Lots of stress and now he's got to kickout 40% of his income to the road and National Insecurity, and Spend-at-Will Fund.

He never dreamed he'd be the scam-ee.

So now you and I are earning a million annually and sending $400,000 each to "the fund." That's $800,000 between the two of us.


The doc has to kick out about $80,000 leaving him only $120,000 for his work, almost as little as he had when he started 10 years ago (and even less when inflation is considered).

He is REALLY upset because he already has to kick out insane amounts of liability insurance, but again it was his choice. But it wasn't his choice to have almost HALF of all of those hours stolen from him and given to someone who was balancing doing tai chi and hanging with the family at picnics.

His plan like yours and mine was to work while you are young and can produce most efficiently and rest when the work is done.

So, the 800,000+ goes over to the 7 in a BIG kettle and they get 100,000 plus in money per person.

But wait.

There's more....

I'll tell you soon.

Millionaire Mind Thinking - A Little More Money...A Lot More Happiness

Millionaire Mind Thinking - A Little More Money...A Lot More Happiness
by Kevin Hogan


It's funny.

Researchers for years have studied the effect of winning the big lottery jackpots.

Do the people become more happy? (Don't worry we'll talk about just what "happy" is in a minute.)

Answer?

Only for a few months.

Then they return to their old level of happiness. Almost every study I've seen shows this to be true. Hit the big one and life is back to normal in a couple of years.

This has nagged at me for a long time because I've lived dirt poor, and I have lived at every socioeconomic level between the bottom 10% and the top 10%. I've known a significant number of other people who have done the same, or close. I spent almost 15 years in the bottom 10% and 30 years in the bottom half.

So, what is it that is in the millionaire mind and their millionaire mind thinking? Fact is overall, my impression has been that people are definitely happier when they have higher incomes.

In fact, overall they seem to have slightly less stress, fewer worries, are healthier, live longer, you name it.

That's not scientific. It's just my experience.

And by some stroke of luck, my impression is correct when you do the real research...and not just looking at those who went from poverty to the top 1% in an hour.

I'll explain that more in the next few blog posts about money, millionaire mind thinking, how to get rich, and tell you some ways that you can, yup, get more money.
