Pat Meseti describes himself as a gnome on steroids. If you have heard him speak, you would think it is much more than this. They gave me tickets to an event Pat spoke at recently and I was hooked.
The following weekend Pat held a seminar on the Gold Coast and I changed my schedule so I could attend. Falling ill meant I didn’t make it to the end of the three-day seminar, but while in bed, I read Millionaire Mindset and it changed my thoughts.
The main thing that struck me was when Pat explained that financial advice from poor people should not be accepted. Wow! Who doesn’t listen to family and friends about money? Are those friends rich? No, of course not, but we still hear them. It is worth seriously thinking about it. We must emulate those who have succeeded before us.
The other message that came home was keep learning. As a huge fan of Anthony Robbins (aka Tony Robbins), I understand this and it’s great to hear the same amazing information from someone else. Bring home the fact that you are already on the right track.
You can learn from those who have walked before you or from those on another path. I work in real estate, however, I think I can learn a lot from those who work in other professions. I recently spent time with trainers, speakers, and a marriage guide, and learned something new from everyone. It’s amazing what you can take if you’re really up for it.
Looking at some of the world’s entrepreneurs will guide the way for those who choose this path, but Pat’s words are not just for those who are in business for themselves. If you choose to work for others, for whatever reason, you can bring these teachings to your workplace. If you want to be the best at whatever you do, look to those who were great before you. Simple things, right?
The last thing I’ll share, without ruining the whole book, is that we all have a different view of success and wealth. You might think that making $ 200,000 a year is a success. You may feel like working hard enough to get comfortable, but getting to soccer practice with the kids is a success. What you choose is really up to you. Remember to enjoy the trip and celebrate your success, however you like it.
