The secret of the millionaire mindset to creating wealth boils down to two things - how you think and how you act- when you manage your money.

The key to building wealth is to know, how to leverage the power of your mind to produce wealth, just like natural wealth builders do. In order, words you need to you need to understand- how your mind works.

Several theories exists as to how the mind works, they give insight into the workings of the mind. The stick person theory is the best idea, I have read so far as to how the mind works.

Developed by Dr Thurman Fleet, the stick person theory contends that your mind has two parts: conscious and subconscious. In addition, these two parts-your conscious and subconscious minds are the main tools you have to make lasting change in any area of your life. However before you can do so- that is make meaningful change- your conscious and subconscious mind must be aligned together to make that change you want. In order words to make a change in your outside world- you must change from the inside outwards

Why is the stick theory important for creating wealth?

I believe having an understanding of how the mind works, is important especially when you look at how we achieve results. According to experts in the field of psychology and neurolinguistic programming, the way you behave follows a process that looks like this: thought, feelings, actions and outcomes

Let me explain.

Thoughts... are the fuel for making change; you need to think about a goal before you can accomplish it

Feelings... are the emotions you produced based on what you are thinking about

Actions... are the behaviour or steps you take to manifest your emotions

Results... are the outcomes you produce, because of your actions

Your thoughts generates feelings, your actions and your actions produce outcomes.

In order words, the thoughts you hold about money generates the feelings you attach to managing money and your actions - how you spend, money- determines the outcomes of your financial state- poverty or wealth.

The secret to getting the results you want-that is becoming wealthy -is to focus on generating thoughts that will cause your mind to act and behave like a successful wealth builder. When you act and do, what wealthy people do then you become and produce the same outcome millionaires have.

However, as simple as this theory may sound, it is very challenging to put into practice. The good news is with practice you can direct your mind to accomplish your wealth-building goal

How to change your mindset

I believe the best way to change your mindset from what you are, to what you want to have-a millionaire mindset, is to master the skill of how to take charge of your thoughts to accomplish your goals. You do so, by working on your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. I am talking about how to think well.

Let me explain.

Your conscious mind is the part that thinks and reasons. Your conscious mind is your intellect. Your conscious mind can accept or reject any idea. Your conscious mind acts as the filter for the thoughts you accept. Here is one important fact about the conscious mind- if you do not consciously reject a thought; your mind passively accepts it as true.

This is possible because of the second part of your mind-your subconscious mind.

Known as the power centre of the mind, the subconscious mind can likened to a computer's working memory, RAM (random access memory). Your subconscious mind is the logic gate where commands from your conscious mind become reality. The subconscious mind cannot discriminate thoughts from the conscious mind. Every thought you choose to accept in your conscious mind, your subconscious mind must accept. In fact any thought or ideas you repeatedly impress upon your subconscious mind, becomes a part of your personality. This is the main reason why addictions are hard to break.

The key to using your mind effectively to create wealth- is to become aware of the thoughts you think about money. When you become aware of your thoughts on wealth creation and affluence, you can accept positive thoughts about wealth building. On the other hand, you can reject the ideas that are obstacles to becoming wealthy. When you impress wealth-building thoughts, in your subconscious mind repeatedly, you will start to think and behave like a millionaire.

When you take these steps, I have mentioned, you will progress in accomplishing your goals-that is to be a millionaire in easily. You will begin to want to save more; you will begin to become aware of moneymaking investment opportunities. You will begin to attract other like-minded people to you. As a result, you will feel more confident to take more risk and generate income, which will ultimately make you wealthy. The process of changing your mindset will make you feel as if your world has started afresh.

You can conquer all the obstacles that are stopping you from living the lifestyle you want. All you need is to work on the most powerful tool you have your "stick person"- your mind.
