Think Like an Instant Billionaire

Fabienne Fredrickson
July 31, 2009

In sifting through emails from a R&D survey I launched a couple of years ago, I read the responses, and honestly, I wanted to cry. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I haven’t been aware that most solopreneurs have very low expectations of what could be made in self-employment (I’ve been at this for almost 10 years after all!), but I just didn’t know how LOW. Until I got the responses to the following question: “What is the most amount of mo-ney you see yourself making as a self-employed person?” Not just this year, but EVER.

Close to 200 solopreneurs (mostly female) wrote in and shared with me their “Most-I’ll-ever-make-in-a-year” numbers. What shocked me was that the number itself was really LOW and the majority of people wrote in numbers within a short range: between $50,000 and $75,000. Sure, a couple of them wrote in $150,000, but even THAT seemed like a far cry from what I *know* is possible, when you shift the way you work, get good marketing in place, create systems for everything, outsource, and set up leveraged and passive streams of in-come.

But what really got me choked up was they didn’t BELIEVE it was possible and worse, some didn’t feel they deserved it. Their MINDSET wasn’t accustomed to thinking BIG, and truthfully that made me very sad, almost depressed. So I went about adding it to my Client Attraction coaching curriculum.

I had to find a way for them to stretch their thinking of what might be possible for them. Then I thought of an assignment I’d gotten years ago from my very first coach, Talane Meidaner, author of Coach Yourself To Success. Back when $3,000 a month seemed like a BIG goal for me to reach in my private practice, she asked me to pretend I was an instant billionaire. The goal was to expand what I believed was possible for me and to do it in just 5 minutes’ time.

Essentially, this Billionaire Game was about tapping into my every wish, desire, dream, and hope I’ve ever thought about. Where I wanted to travel, what I wanted life to look like, what I wanted to have, how I wanted to set up my business. What I liked about this exercise is the 5 minute limit didn’t allow me to think too much and instead to just do it.

So, I set my timer and frantically wrote down all the things I wanted for my life, and my business. It was a LONG list, and when I was done, it felt actually freeing to see what I’d written down. What I realized is many of the things on the list weren’t that far of a stretch, and I could live many of them NOW, if I made a few changes. But it also got me to start dreaming and imagining BIGGER things for my life.

The coolest part is it helped me expand what was possible for me. Things aren’t THAT out of reach and you can live a billionaire lifestyle now, which then feeds your mindset even more that you DESERVE to make more.

When I look back at the list I wrote back then, it’s really cool to see I’m pretty much living that exact life now. (Although I still don’t have a live-in spa chef and haven’t traveled to India and Vietnam for a month each yet, but those will come.) 🙂

Your Assignment:

Give it a try. This game will help you get past your restrictions around mo-ney. Grab a paper and pen. Imagine you’ve just become the billion-do11ar lottery winner. Not just a mi11ion. You now have more mo-ney than you’ll ever be able to spend.

The condition of winning; however, is you must write down 100 different things, whatever you want to be, do, or have on a piece of paper, and you have only 5 minutes to do so. So write fast, without over-thinking. Remember to write down every wish, desire, dream, and hope you can possibly think of.

Set the kitchen timer and see if you can come up with 100 different things. Don’t worry about any practical considerations of your list. Don’t let anything limit or stop you. You can do, be, or have anything you want. This is about expanding possibilities. Most of us start out way too small.

I promise you one thing. This will not only affect your mindset about what’s possible for you, it will also affect your Client Attraction. The more you begin to LIVE like a billionaire (on whatever your budget is), the more Client Attractive you will become. Try it and let me know how it goes, OK?

Need to figure out how to attract all the clients you want so you can make WAY more than you’ve ever made before? Then get a copy of the Client Attraction Home Study System . I’ve outlined every Client Attraction technique in detail, including outsourcing, and it’s all there so you can start using it right away to get similar results. It’s all step-by-step, not a big mishmash of things. So, you do step one of the system, and when you’re done with that, you move on to step two, and so on. SO easy. That’s why my clients have gotten such great results from it. All the tools, scripts, templates, and examples are handed to you on a silver platter.

  • I think I’ll give this a try. I know I can do it, and I know it will work. What a great exercise for us solopreneurs.
    Thanks!!

  • I tried this exercise before but not from the billionaire mindset. I did it last night and struggled to make one hundred, once completed … I realized that I had many more to add. POWERFUL

  • Kevin James

    I did the exercise and I loved it! I only got abot 35 things listed. I actually listed this question on my Facebook page and only got two response (and those response, neither person when through the exercise). I understand your sadness in the responses you received. Here, only two of over 1300+ accepted the challenge (and they didn’t even complete it.)

  • I made it to 30 things on my list. Reading back over it I realize I’m still thinking too small and limiting myself. I will have to do this exercise again and see if I can expand my thinking even further!
