Upon hanging out with a number of business owners and entrepreneurs, the secrets of how to become rich and financially successful have been revealed to me: it is a perspective shift, a change in the way you look at things, adjusting your attitude and how you spend your time, and devoting resources for your own personal advancement.

Want to know how? Check out 7 things you can change to help make you become rich and financially secure:

1. Age is but a number. Really.

Nowadays how young or old you are will not disqualify you from becoming money laden. It is best to start early, but reaching your middle aged life past your twenties does not put a stop sign on the path to financial success. Consider the likes of young millionaires such as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Dell's Michael Dell and UPS honcho James Casey who all began their career in their teenage years.

Accept the advantages of being young fully. Being young is indeed having the upper hand compared to others, and will be your biggest edge as you utilize it in various means. Once you start to make excuses on why you cannot reach your financial goals, this will be tantamount to defeat.

Have faith that you can achieve these goals, and you are definitely going to achieve them. Our society definitely heaps praises on seeing a committed, smart and devoted budding professional who becomes successful. Spark that enthusiasm in people to motivate them to be part of your journey in life.

2. You are your best investment.

Your future is the best type of investment you can ever make. Devote enough time to reading, say half an hour each day, scour the internet for the pertinent podcasts all while pursuing to find experts who can teach you and mentor you. Not only should you gain expertise in your given industry, but you also must progress into a well-adept professional confident to discuss topics be it on sports, finance or politics. Be determined to learn and increase your know-how until it become as natural as breathing.

Remember that it is also imperative to spend generously on yourself as a pampering way to reject stress and negative emotions. Think of enjoyable trips and leisurely activities that will contribute to your well-being. I book massage appointments regularly, and I consider it among the top ways I can be more increasingly productive.

3. Make fearless decisions.

Being attentive could wear out in a daily basis simply because it is limited in supply, and thus can hinder our productivity. Regardless of how we have developed our mental capacity through the years, there will always be a limit which could lead to subpar results and emotional upheaval.

Reserve energy and mental capacity through quick, fearless decisions that may be reverted and be assertive in making plans on how to go about routine tasks to ensure these are done even without too much effort. What to wear and what to have for breakfast on a daily basis for upcoming weeks - these have already been decided way ahead. How about you?

4. Have a strong mind.

What makes being mediocre and being hugely successful entirely on the opposite ends of the spectrum is prolonged productivity, especially vital to ensure finished projects. Having concentration is important, thus if you have failed to develop enough mentally chances are your competitors will have significant gain over you, having trained their minds to have the grit and tenacity over years of corporate work.

Increase your abilities through perseverance amidst interruptions and with utmost concentration on your work. Check your performance on a daily basis by the end of the day and take a look on areas that need positive changes.

5. Aspire for great things.

There is no better way to be effective than having the discipline of defining your targets, as this is a foolproof way to becoming successful. In case you have not yet listed out your target goals for the upcoming year, or in five years, or in a decade, go ahead and write these down. The moment I get up from bed, I look at my own target goals and read my list. Contemplate - how can you achieve your target goals of a decade within a span of only a year?

Being consistent in your target goals will affect you in a beneficial and also a detrimental way, should you decrease your chances for success with longer timespans. Remember to be persistent and attentive in coursing the best method to going beyond your own capacity.

6. Plan ahead.

Prior to working on a task, do enough planning. Set aside some considerable time working on a schedulable plan on your activities. Be discerning enough to check if your plan will work. Someone once said having a good executable plan means the work is already half completed. So don't rush ahead and spend some time doing some planning and strategizing.

Your plan can be whatever you think it should be - whether it is systematic, more on administration or innovative approach, create a solid structured process to advance your capacity in activities that involve routine.

7. Have faith in your abilities.

Who else will accomplish these goals but you? No hindrance can halt your desire to becoming one who achieves your incredible goals. Almost all who made excuses eventually met failure. Those who have achieved their target goals have testimonies on conquering problems with clever ideas. You are sure to definitely succeed once you are certain that you can be taught or be able to fix the hardest of issues.

In case you don't know yet what your first steps will be, go ahead and set yourself with the motivation to strive and perform towards optimal results every second on daily basis. Having this kind of mindset is the foundation and perspective on which I have set my own path to success.

Remain to preserve simplicity; keeping in mind that achievement is not a right due to you. Rather, it is the thinking that being successful means going out of your way to work on achieving it daily for a lifetime.
