Four steps to becoming a millionaire It's raining money! PAT Mesiti is a self-made millionaire with a message for everyone: anyone can be a millionaire, but to get there you've got to get money out of your head. Absolutely anyone can be a millionaire, but you've got to get the dollar signs out of your eyes. If you keep money out of your heart, it will stay in your pocket. Money is like a seed, if you invest it or give to charity, it will come back to you," he said. Sounds counterintuitive but that's exactly the point. Mr Mesiti told news.com.au people become so obsessed with the idea of money they lose sight of how to actually get it. Making money is no accident, you need a plan. Just like when you are not fit you make a fitness plan, or when you are trying to lose weight, you have a diet plan. Same with money, you need to think strategically and plan ahead," he said. Here are the four crucial steps. Get educated. This doesn't have to mean get a degree but you need to learn how money works. If you don't understand it then it can have a negative impact on you. Money can create feelings like fear and hatred and envy in people. Being educated helps you avoid that. Get around the right kind of people. Your associations in life will equal your assimilations in life. Basically what that means is you become the people you surround yourself with. A study in the United States found that a person's income will rise to the level of their seven closest friends. So choose your friends and associates wisely. Get good advice from people that have done it. Don't get advice from people who haven't made money and aren't successful. You wouldn't get medical advice from your newsagent, right? Also, don't ask your relatives that can be scary advice because it's based on their out-dated experience. I have seen people lose their life savings by listening to an aunt or uncle who mean well are not savvy enough about money and business. Work on yourself. Work on your attitude and your belief system, what do you really believe about money. If you see a person drive by in a flash car, what is your first thought. If you think something like, "That lucky bastard," then the very thing that you want, you actually despise. Instead of saying where did he get that car, be inquisitive. Don't be envious. Seek advice. Oh, and you forget about that old adage about making money by doing what you love. Well you can do something you love and go broke too. It's more than that. Do something you love that meets people's needs. I might love crocheting, but I won't get rich out of it. What you have to do is find way to meet people's needs. Do you love technology? Design a quick step process to access information and you're onto a winner. Or think like The Beatles. They did something they loved, music. But they gave something else to, they gave an experience and passion. Think about that when you're making your plan," he said. Follow Lucy on Twitter: @lucyjk For more advice check out Pat's website
