If you were thinking about putting in into the "March of Dimes" you are on the right track in finding real motivation to get you started on the path to becoming wealthy. Attaining wealth for purely selfish gains in life is a fool's game, and fools always lose.

"Success is dependent on effort"- Sophocles 426 B.C.

Even though that quote is from more than 2,000 years ago, it still holds true to today's modern high-tech society. Most people are always complaining that they are getting a raw deal in life, and that all the wealthy people in the world got their wealth the easy way. Nothing could be further from the truth.

A great example of a man who was convinced that he should become a millionaire at some point in his life was John D Rockefeller. He gained his wealth by starting the Standard Oil company in the early twentieth century. He was determined to use his wealth to benefit mankind, and his various charity organizations have raised millions of dollars to help fight hunger and disease all over the world. If you really feel you should attain true wealth in your lifetime there are at least four vital steps you should take before you can become the next John Rockefeller.

1. BE A REALIST ABOUT THE EFFORT IT TAKES TO BECOME WEALTHY. Before anybody ever stepped on the surface of the moon, hundreds of NASA scientists and technicians spent thousands of hours on research to determine just how much of a monumental task landing on the moon would be. You have to ask yourself the same question: "How am I ever going to become a millionaire within ten years? It's too damn hard!"

Coming to grips with the magnitude of a task is the first step to completing it. If you decide to accept the challenge, it becomes a definite possibility and not something as far-fetched sounding as becoming a test pilot for NASA. No, it starts to become something tangible if you are willing to make the effort to decide what your best talent or skill best serves your purpose in obtaining this monetary goal. Many people poorer than you made the effort and they came out on the other end as billionaires. It's not unrealistic for you to wind up just like them with a great hard work ethic.

2 THE TRUE MOTIVATION IN ACHIEVING YOUR GOAL CANNOT BE SELFISHNESS. Rockefeller's main motivation for becoming hugely wealthy was his desire to feed the poor and heal the sick of this world. Your motivation should be along those same lines as well. Now, I'm not saying you should give away half of your income like he did, but you should always give a fair amount of your profits to reputable charity organizations along the way to your ultimate dream of becoming very wealthy. You must be far beyond driven in life to accomplish major goals, and becoming a millionaire is one of the biggest and hardest goals to attain.

Just take a moment to consider what you would do with a million dollars if you had it. Would you buy a house with it, or a huge yacht? Or would you consider giving 10 percent of it to an organization like "The March of Dimes?" If you were thinking about putting in into the "March of Dimes" you are on the right track in finding real motivation to get you started on the path to becoming wealthy. Attaining wealth for purely selfish gains in life is a fool's game, and fools always lose.

3. WHEN YOU START THINKING LIKE A WEALTHY PERSON, YOU BECOME ONE. That statement might sound like something you'd hear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", but there is vast truth in it. If you always go around acting like you never had a break in life, and never carry any cash or credit cards because you feel you're always broke, you will NEVER achieve true wealth in life. Start acting like you belong at that ritzy golf club in the wealthy part of town and one day everybody else will think you belong there too.

Start out by buying some nice clothes. They don't have to cost over $500, they just need to look like they do, and you will feel richer immediately. Don't believe me? Go to Saks Fifth Avenue or a Nordstrom's and just buy one nice shirt. I know you'll feel like a million bucks even though you don't have it in your bank account just yet. Once you buy a nice shirt or slacks, start carrying around over $100 in cash in you wallet at all times. That will generate a feeling of wealth like no other.

If you change your mindset on a daily basis to think like a rich person, your income level will increase to stay on the level of your new way of thinking. This line of reasoning was considered a huge breakthrough when psychologists theorized it back in the sixties, and the theory still holds up today. To improve on this first level of acquiring more income, you need to visualize yourself attaining monthly income in the hundreds of thousands instead of just a few measly thousand dollars of income per month you visualized at the beginning of this important step. If your mind believes in something, it will make life take notice to make your dream become reality.

4. REMOVE THE NEGATIVE THINKERS FROM YOUR LIFE This step is so huge it could have been at the top of my list, instead of the bottom, but I need to reinforce this message with a big impact on you, so I saved it for last. Negative people have a way of tearing down every optimistic person in their path with a scowl and statements like "If you were ever gonna be a success in life, it would've happened to you already!", or "That business scheme will never work. Why don't you just get a job and be miserable like the rest of us?" I'm sure if you own your own business, you've heard those phrases hundreds of time, mostly by friends and relatives.

Here's the best advice you will ever get in life: Tell those people to worry about themselves and leave you alone to do what you want to! Imagine if Thomas Edison was told by his wife to stop tinkering with that light bulb and get a job at the corner drug store. We probably would still be reading by gas light! There are plenty of like-minded people like you in life who want to succeed at what they are doing at all cost, so go out there and find them and replace all the negative thinkers in your life with positive ones. You will never re
