Live upside down… (124 days to go)
124 days!! I’m getting so excited! And so I should be - that’s not much time until I achieve my goal of making $1 Million in 365 days!I am honestly amazed at what I have achieved over the pas 241 days.
A couple of years ago, If you has asked me if I could achieve all this in maybe 5 years - I would have been sceptical. I am just so grateful for all the wonderful people I have met on my journey so far, the things I have learned and the people that I have been able to help.
I believe that I have certainly become a better person, more loving husband and father, spending more time with my family than ever before. Every morning I wake up and am so grateful that we are living in our own house and I am surrounded by the ones I love. Life really can’t get any better…
I’m confused?
So what’s with this whole “live upside down” title? Well, currently most people view the world and everything in it in one way - the “right-side” up. If we go back to the beginning where I talked about how thoughts create your actions which give you your results - we can see that if the majority of people are living life according to one perception, then they will be getting a certain set of results.
For example, you get married, have kids, get a 9-5 job, work till your 65, try and live off a pension and die. Sorry to be so morbid, however I am just trying to illustrate that this in no way appeals to me, or the type of people I surround myself with?
Oh, now I get it!
Why? Because I believe there’s more to life. I believe we are all put here on this planet to live life to the full - to enjoy our time here. Life is all about the experience, the journey. No one knows how long they have until we die, so like you’ve no doubt heard from others - make every second count.
On the other hand , there are people that do the opposite to what everyone else is doing. This means that they in turn get different results. For example, if “everyone” is going out for a beer tonight - do the opposite. Go home and spend it with your family, perhaps stay late at work. Just do something DIFFERENT!
Why? Because if you are sick and tired of getting the same results that you keep getting then you need to change. A great way to start this is to do the opposite of what the majority do. If the majority of people that you associate with are happy, successful and wealthy (in the holistic sense), then by all means COPY them! However, I presume that if you are reading this today then you are one of the minority who want to do something about the results you are getting.
THOUGHTS > ACTIONS = RESULTS
One day there will come a time where people will be better off by doing the same as the minority - until then - keep doing the opposite!:-) Makes you think doesn’t it?….

Hey there Mr. Kiwi Millionaire (couldn’t find your name anywhere)!
Looks like a great thing you’ve got going here. I’ve only had a brief look over your blog but it seems like you’re doing all the right stuff and are guaranteed to reach your million dollar goal!!
Seeing this blog post is about doing things opposite to everyone else, I thought I’d link you to possibly the best book on the subject -http://www.amazon.com/Whatever-You-Think-Opposite/dp/1591841216 (you could probably list it in your resources section with an amazon affiliate link).
