[r] A Millionaire Mind
I once saw a multi-millionaire do a demonstration that changed my life.
The man held two deflated balloons, one substantially larger than the other. He explained that in this demonstration “air” represented money and each balloon represented a different person. He then proceeded to blow up (put money into) the smaller balloon (person). He maxed it out at about 6 inches.
He then blew air, (money) into the larger balloon (person) and maxed it out at about 12 inches. He then asked, “What’s the difference between these two “people”? The obvious answer was that “the bigger balloon (person) can hold a lot more air (money) than the smaller balloon (person) without busting.
This demonstration hit me right between the eyes. I had just “blown up” my fourth business in a row and was in the midst of looking for a new “right” opportunity. Once again, I was searching outside myself for the answer. I had never even considered that maybe “I” was part of the problem.
The lesson was clear: “your wealth can only grow to the extent you do!”
If you keep putting more ‘money’ into a small ‘person’, they will quickly go bust! I got it and then could barely look at myself in the mirror for a week!
