Default Double Your Way To A Million

Well last week my thoughts were mostly success bound as I was finishing off reading a great autobiography from one of the leading, current day entrepreneurs from here in the UK. Most of you in Britain will know of Duncan Bannetyne from the TV series, Dragons Den. In his biography he shares with his readers how an underachiever at school became a high achiever in business! It is a truly remarkable story and a must read for anyone.

In this post I want to talk briefly about beliefs and about 1 million pounds!

So first let’s get on to beliefs. Beliefs are strange things that steer us in different directions. They even let us know what we are capable of and worst still – what we are not capable of. Beliefs are great things to have as long as you are in control of them. For instance if you where on a tall cliff with only a map and a compass then the belief that humans can’t fly would be a good one to have – as to stop you from taking the fastest route to the beach below.

Now I want to get onto the 1 million pounds. This is a nice round figure. If you earned £20408.16 per month from the age of 16 until you were 65 you will have made it! However you probably would have just about spent it as well on living expenses. Too many, it seems like an unachievable goal and to others, 1 million pounds is a drop in the ocean. So why is this? Why do so many see fortunes as being unreachable? Well this comes back to beliefs.

The way we look at what one million pounds is, is important as if we see it as something that it is not, or even as something more than it is then we move it even further from our reach.

Now I propose an experiment. How easy would I be for you to take £1 and double it within a week? What Ideas could you come up with that could make that shiny little one pound coin turn into two shiny little one pound coins? If this is so easy then would it not also be achievable to take £500,000.00 and double it and turn it into a million? I guess you are seeing where I am going – but where would you get half a million in the first place to turn into that 1 million pound goal?

Easy! If you take the one pound from the original experiment and double it every week for 21 weeks you will have reached your 1 million pound goal! Now I bet that has made you look at what one million pounds is differently.

So there you have it! If you cut your big goals down into smaller ones you will achieve them quicker and easier than you think!

well i think your theory is quite nice to read. It can be carried out if the variable factors act in favour for us. An equation can be build here M = 1 x P .
M is money
1 is the factor - 1 penny or pounds
P is people

if the variable P is increased we increase our money.

Think about it
