Have you every thought about what it would be like to be rich? You see rich means different things to everyone. For some it means having lots and lots of money. For others it means having enough money to do what they want with their family and not have to worry about finances. Whatever it means to you there is a starting point in getting there. The starting point is so simple yet most overlook it and never do it. Which is also a big reason why riches may never be reached.

What do you want? This is a question I have heard over and over again from Bob Proctor. He is a big time personal development coach and someone who understands the mind better than just about anyone. He would always say what do you want? It doesn't matter what it is and you don't have to know how you'll achieve it. Most people do not know what they want. How are you supposed to move towards something if you do not know what that something is.

Getting rich does not happen by accident. You have to know what you want and begin moving towards it. Take some time to daydream for a few minutes and let your mind wonder. What excites you and what would make you happy if you achieve all of the things that come to your mind?

Once you've let your mind wonder for a bit, take out some paper and start writing down what it is that you want. The sheer exercise of you writing it down increases your chances of achievement by 10 fold. Most people won't even do that. This does not have to be a buttoned up writing session with everything in its place. Write everything down, then you can fine tune after.

Now that you have items written down, pick 1 or 2 big goals that if achieved it would help make all of the other things on the paper happen. Think of these like the lead pins when bowling. If you hit the lead pin just right you'll get a strike. The same concept goes for your goal setting. With the 1 or 2 goals identified, start asking yourself what would you need to do to be able to achieve these goals. Who do you need to become? Next, think about how long you think it would take to make this goal a reality. Write down a date to achieve by next to the goals. Then, look at these goals everyday and your subconscious mind will go to work on the how.

You see by taking the time to day dream about what you want your future to look like, it allows you to define a path for you to move towards. You're able to put all of your focus into that to become successful. Most people get up everyday and just go through the motions. Don't be like most people. Set a big vision for you life, then get busy making it happen!
