Developing a millionaire mindset



Imagine you have the opportunity of a lifetime to win one million dollars in a golf tournament.

These are the rules:

1.    You have one chance to get one golf ball inside a par-4 hole.

2.    You have four shots to get the ball inside the hole of an average par-4 hole on an average golf course. Not a super difficult task to achieve.

3.    You have only 48 hours to prepare for the event.

4.    No special prequalifications as a golf player are required.

5.    If you complete the hole in four shots or less, you will win $1 million dollars.

6.    If you shoot five or more, you finish above par and you lose the chance to win.

What would you do?

Stop and think for a moment…

 

How would you spend those 48 hours previous to the event?

Pause and think… be honest.

…

…

…

Would you spend your time practicing all day long?

…

…

…

This is what a millionaire would do:

He would get on the phone and call the best golf players in the world and negotiate a deal.

“Hey master-golfer, would you like to earn $100,000 in 20 minutes on the golf course?”

“Sounds interesting. Tell me about it,” says the pro-golfer.

“Simple. If you get the ball in the hole at par or under par, I will pay you $100,000. If you don’t, you get nothing. An easy job for a pro like you!”

“Really? Is this a joke? That’s it?”

“No joke. That’s it!” says the millionaire.

“When do I meet you on the golf course?” says the pro.

“Let me call you back in a few hours to confirm the details with you.”

The millionaire would hang up and call as many experts as possible. He would get the BEST player to execute the job for him.

What are his odds of success? Exactly…

So, to answer your question, what would it take for you to develop a millionaire mindset?

When we face a challenge, our first reaction is to ask: “how do I solve this problem.” That’s what our education system teaches us, HOW to solve problems.

Millionaires, on the other hand, DON’T ask “how.” They instead ask “WHO.”

Millionaires don’t do the work. They find experts to do the work for them.

Changing this small thing in your mindset will help you take a huge leap towards thinking like a millionaire. Remember, finding your WHOs will make your HOWs happen faster and cheaper than you could ever by yourself.

Why are computer languages written in zeros and ones

In the beginning - there were computers based on base-10 logic and also on base-3 logic. The trouble with doing that - and the reason we don’t do it these days - lies at the lowest possible level of the underlying electronics. Suppose you have a wire and a flashlight bulb and you connect a 1.5 volt battery to it so the voltage jumps from 0 volts (no battery) to 1.5 volts (powered by the battery). The voltage  doesn’t  actually jump instantaneously from one to the other. It climbs gradually from 0 to 1.5 volts over some very small fraction of a second. So at some point, the voltage will be (say) 0.4 volts - or 0.7 volts - before it finally settles on 1.5 volts. Also - if the wire is long enough - and has some resistance to it - the voltage won’t ever reach 1.5 volts - it’ll top out at (say) 1.2 volts or something. Now - consider if you have a base-10 computer - and just one digit travels from A to B along a wire. If the computer is running at 1.5 volts then maybe we u...
