This work offers a summary of the book “HOW TO THINK LIKE A MILLIONAIRE: Ten of the world’s most successful people reveal secrets of their success” by Charles-Albert Poissant.
Charles-Albert Poissant has researched successful businesspeople across a number of markets and has concluded that these people are successful not because of the industry they are in, but because they share four key character traits: they set (and reset) written goals; they get into a position where work is their passion; they use their unconscious mind; they learn to work effectively, and efficiently.
How to Think Like a Millionaire explores each of these four in depth, analyzing why they are effective, and how to implement them. He encourages the reader to stop making excuses for not venturing forward with ideas: you are never too young, too old or too uneducated to be successful. The only limits you set on yourself are self-imposed. Poissant explains how to use simple, practical techniques to engender confidence, determination and persistence within yourself. He demonstrates that it’s possible to increase concentration with simple exercises.
This book is doubly useful, because Poissant shows how his methods have been proved successful in real life business situations. Paul Getty, Ray Kroc (from McDonalds) and Steven Spielberg all used techniques outlined by How to Think Like a Millionaire.
