I was just completing a report for my clients at the Inspired Action Coaching Program a few minutes ago when I began to get lazy.

And in times like these, I do either one of three things.

1) Look at my vision board (especially that Mercedes SLR)

2) Meditate and listen to some subliminals or…

3) Look towards one of my “idols” and visualize.

Today, I did #3.

You’ve heard me talk about Tony Robbins, Joe Vitale and Bob Proctor as people I really admire.

These are the common heroes among us Personal Development Junkies which is why today, I’m going to treat you by introducing you to someone who’s a bit more like me and probably even you background-wise, and someone who I aspire to be like.

Introducing…. Gurbaksh Chahal

Amazing man, isn’t he?

I don’t know about you but after watching that video I realized something.

It’s one thing to become a self-made millionaire.

It’s a totally different thing to become a self-made millionaire in style!

$40 Million at 18.

$300 Million at 25.

Gurbaksh Chahal certainly did it in style and definitely with lots of class.

And that’s how I intend to make my first million.

Now, for the white elephant in the room :

How Did He Become So Successful?

Is it just me or did the word “Risks” come out a lot in that video?

Honestly, I don’t like that word.

Risk : A source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune

Before I get to that, I’d like to point out that Mr Chahal has always been thinking big and I believe that plays a huge role in the big money he’s made for himself.

But of course, you have to be careful when you’re thinking big. There are always risks involved as Mr Chahal has pointed out but there is a way to eliminate that (at least internally)

To be more specific, there’s a specific pitfall that most people miss and I’ve talked about it in detail in the post, “Why Thinking Big Can Get You In Trouble If You Don’t Know This” which I highly suggest you go read.

Burning The Bridges

“Why do I even need the degree?” I asked.

“Well, just in case your business fails you can always have something to fall back on,” he replied.

I know he meant well but that’s not the right mindset.

You see my friend, I anticipate that my business will skyrocket in the next few months and when it does, I’m going to need all the time I can get to let it grow as quickly as it can for me to reach that first million.

Studying for a degree at Singapore Management University would definitely get in the way of growing my business exponentially so like Mr Chahal, I’ve pretty much decided on quitting school.

No need to be shocked.

I don’t think school’s just the place for me but just like the G man, I come from an Indian family where going to university and getting a degree is the route you’re expected to go on.

So, I’ve struck a deal with my parents where I either make $100,000 by June or go back to school.

Honestly, it’s not an easy decision especially when 9 in 10 people are telling you to go back to school and so I’ve been asking everyone’s opinion on it and when I ask why I should, the response all sounds the same to me :

To have something to fall back on.

If I took advice like that 4 years ago, you probably won’t be reading this now.

You might not know this but both of the major exams that I did well in was a do-or-die situation.

In both the “O” and “A” level exams, I strategically dropped subjects that I didn’t think I could do well in even though people told me to hold on to them just in case I don’t do well in my core subjects.

In both cases, I burnt the bridges behind me and charged ahead to overwhelming victory.

Did I listen to them then? Nope.

Do you think I should listen to them now?

Didn’t think so.

Mr Chahal said that he had to succeed after seeing his parents believe in him so much.

In a way, he was burning the bridges behind him.

How about you, my friend?

Think about that BIG goal you’re going after.

Have you burnt all the bridges behind you…

Or can you still go back to a life of mediocrity?

Which way is it, my friend?

Burn the bridges now and move forward!

A LIFE OF ABUNDANCE IS AWAITING YOU!
