The movie the secret did a fantastic job popularising “the law of attraction” and introducing new people to the entrepreneur’s self-help movement.

One area where the film went wrong is the presupposition that the law of attraction was the number one line in the sand between those who are successful business and those who aren’t.

While utilising the law of attraction (and a $%&*load of action) is important for business & financial results, my experience has taught me that there is another, more important factor, that will determine your success.

The mindset of millionaires

Having been consultant to some exciting (and profitable) businesses, I’ve identified a differentiating belief and attitude that sets the truly successful apart.

Gratitude

When you have gratitude for the cards that life has dealt you, it is possible to tap into the motivation and inspiration that will drive you to extraordinary success.

People who are grateful to their parents, their education, their country of origin, their luck, their networks and friends tend to view “changing the world for the better” (often achieved through business) as an obligation.

Most of us see it as an opportunity – something we can always take advantage of tomorrow, not today.
