6 steps to becoming wealthy as a developer

We all want to be rich. Filthy rich. But how do you become rich? What are the steps to becoming rich? Here are 6 steps to becoming rich.

First step to becoming rich is having an exact amount of money, car or house that you desire fixed in your mind. Just saying "I want to be rich" is not enough. You must be specific. You must know exactly how much money you want. You must know exactly what you want to buy. You must know exactly what you want to do with the money.

Second step to becoming rich is to determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. In order to get money, you must give value. You must give something of value in return for the money. There is no such thing as "something for nothing". This can be a product, service, or information. You must give something of value in return for the money.

Third step to becoming rich is to establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire. You must have a deadline. You must have a date when you intend to have the money. You must have a date when you intend to buy the car or house. You must have a date when you intend to do what you want to do with the money. It can be a month, a year, or 5 years. It doesn't matter. You must have a date.

Fourth step to becoming rich is to create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action. You must have a plan. You must have a plan of action. You must have a plan of how you are going to get the money. You must have a plan of how you are going to give value in return for the money.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. - Mike Tyson. Expect punches to come your way. Keep on keeping on. Keep on moving forward. Keep on taking action. Keep on doing what you need to do to get the money. Keep on doing what you need to do to give value in return for the money. Keep on doing what you need to do to get the car or house.

Fifth step is to have a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire. You can have a vision board or a photo in you room that keeps reminding you of what you want.

Sixth. This is very important. Read your written statement aloud or if it is a photo, look at it twice a day, once before you go to bed and the next time, when you wake up. As for me, I have it on an app called Vision Board so I'm able to see it every time I open my phone. As you look at it, believe that you already have the money. Believe that you already have the car or house.

See you soon!
