Many people out there desperately want to be millionaires, and why wouldn't

they? While money may not buy happiness it can buy a better, less stressful
and more fulfilled life. However, before you can be a millionaire you need to
have the right strategy and know the reasons why you haven't met this goal
already.

Everybody who wants to be millionaire but isn't has excuses. "I didn't pick the
right career," "I can't afford the schooling," or "I don't have time." These are not
reasons, but just excuses and excuses only get in the way of your success.
Here are 10 reasons why people do not become millionaires.

1. You have no one guiding you in the right direction.

You need to surround yourself with positive people. Most importantly, you
need to find someone you can trust that will help guide you in the right
direction. The people you trust most should be the ones pushing you towards
success. This is one advantage I did not have early on. I am entirely
self-taught, which is why I have created my mentoring program to give that
advantage to others.

2. You aren't willing to make sacrifices.

You really cannot have your cake and eat it too, there are things that you will
need to give up. If you can't sacrifice things like hanging with friends or going
out and partying in order to focus on your career, then you will never get the
financial success you have been looking for.

3. You fear failure.

You will fail, you will make mistakes, and you need to learn to get over it. If you
fear failure, you will never overcome it.

4. Your goals aren't clear, so neither are your actions.

If you don't have a clear goal in mind and clear action steps in place to reach
that goal, you will never become a millionaire. Take the time to do the planning
and do it right.

5. You think other people can succeed but not you.

Believe that you can succeed. Visualize yourself as that successful man or
woman who you once envied. If you visualize yourself being a millionaire
success, and truly believe it can happen, you are one step closer to your goal.

6. You think your background or location prevents your success.

Nothing can prevent you from success. Lets repeat that: nothing can prevent
you from success.

7. You aren't using the Internet.

The Internet has changed the world and it continues to change the world. If
you aren't using, you aren't taking advantage of one of the most powerful
money making tools out there.

8. You rationalize money can't buy happiness and forget that it can
buy freedom.
Money is your ticket to the freedom so many people want in this world.
Freedom can lead to happiness. To find your motivation focus on the freedom
that money can buy you.

9. You hang out with the wrong crowd.

The people around you should be your support system. They should be the
people there for you, pushing you and keeping you positive and focused. Your
crowd of friends and family should not be distractions or negative in any way.
If they are, it is time to find a new crowd.

10. You play long shots like the lotto instead of building your skill set.

Building your own skill set and knowledge base is better for you in the long
term. Sure, it takes more time and more work but it can lead you to the
long-term success that you desire.

Keep these reasons in mind when you are working towards your next
professional goal. You will see first hand what you are capable of if you just
put these reasons off to the side and focus instead on your path towards
becoming a millionaire.
