So Yоu Want To Be A Millionaire?

There is no specific formula you can use to become a millionaire. At school, we are told that gaining knowledge is all that we need to do well in society.

1) E

Other studies show that there is little connection between how well chil­dren do at school and the success they achieve as adults. At the moment, there are 95,000 millionaires in Britain alone. Those who recently became millionaires come from a wide variety of backgrounds.

2)

If you are not born wealthy, you may be able to take advantage of your good looks. Dr Raymond Bull of Portsmouth University says that good looks make early life easier. He then adds that people expect a good-look­ing person to be kinder and more effi­cient.

3)

Professor Cooper has divided suc­cessful people into two categories: the entrepreneurs and the intrapreneurs. The former often left school early, and had several business disasters. They have awkward personalities, but they are very determined. The latter, however, have risen up through the levels of organisations. They are the children everyone thought would do well. Over half of them went to univer­sities. They are good organisers and get on well with people.

4)

However, even if you were born poor and lack the height or looks of a top model, there is still plenty you can do to improve your chances of success. There are many courses and self-help manuals available to help you reach the top. There is even a magazine called Personal Success, filled with ads for courses that will "transform your thinking and behaviour".

5)

"Success does not happen by accident," says Michael Breen, who runs seminars on various aspects of being successful. "Successful people", says Breen, "are the ones who, when something doesn't work, try something else. Unsuccessful people keep on doing the same thing, only harder.

6)

Breen gets students to concentrate on specific tasks that need attention, rather than allowing themselves to be overwhelmed by a mountain of things waiting to be done. He makes his students concentrate on getting one thing done, and helps them focus on the good feeling it produces when the job has finished.

7)

However, what none of these techniques do is to look at the quality of your life, or consider whether the price of success is too high.

8)

One thing is sure, though. True success turns out to be based on more than motivation. There is a need for harmony, balance, creativity and healthy relationships.

A One dramatic difference between Cooper's two groups is that many of the intrapreneurs felt that they had been the victims of discrimination early on in their lives. This has not been the case for the entrepreneurs.

B In his training programmes, Breen shows people how to get rid of negative thoughts and put themselves in a more productive frame of mind. He believes that motivation is the key.

C The easiest way is to start out wealthy. In a survey of the richest 200 people in Britain, more than fifty per cent had inherited money. Twenty-five per cent of those who head large corporations were born into wealthy families.

D Entrepreneurs are "anxious people, non-conformists, poorly-organised, and not strangers to self-destruc­tive behaviour". Twenty-five per cent of top executives are unhappy with the long hours they have to work and the destructive effect on their family life.

E However, a recent study by Professor Gary Cooper, of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, has proven this wrong. Professor Cooper studied the lives of successful entrepreneurs sand discovered that sixty per cent left school early, either due to expulsion or boredom.

F Another useful feature is height. Other qualities being equal, employers are more likely to select taller can­didates to fill vacancies.

G Most of today's courses on positive thinking originate in America. Many start by emphasizing the importance of self-belief, and its role in being successful.

H However, it is possible to be too beautiful. You can easily find yourself employed as a decorative figure­head while your less attractive colleagues are moving up the career ladder.

I All these methods are the result of the fact that the old idea of a career ladder leading to success in big corporations no longer applies. There is much greater emphasis on personal development.
