Cultivating The Billionaire Mind Set
As you get more and more successful, you will find more people resenting you because you have what they are looking for. Some will blame you for their mishaps and are convinced that you somehow ‘used them’ to get to the top. Some will simply have the viewpoint that you must share what you have worked hard for because ‘God gave you.’ It is a gift you received, so you must give it out for free.
A common poverty mentality
You ‘friends’ or relatives will definitely believe that they are stakeholders in you success, and that they have certain rights to your achievements. This is very common in third world cultures. If you do not succumb to their demands they will threaten you by wishing bad things to happen to you.
So you see being super successful comes with its own problems that you must quickly learn to manage in your relationships so that you can enjoy your peace.
The reason behind this conflict is the mind-set. Yes, to be super successful you have to break out of the herd and pursue a course that requires a different mind-set.

Characteristics of The Billionaire Mind That You Can Emulate
Here are some characteristics of the billionaire mind that you can emulate. They will help you fast-track to the top and make it easier to relate with the super successful:
An ordinary person focuses on protecting his ego. He pretends to know what he does not know because he does not want to be embarrassed. At the end he learns nothing. A person with a billionaire mind-set asks questions. He asks more and more questions. He wants to learn. He wants to get sustainable results.
An ordinary person has a consumer mentality. He wants to enjoy life and to be seen by friends. He does not aim to add value. He looks for the latest stuff. He think it’s a sign that he is well off, but it a trap that will keep him down. A person with a billionaire mind has an entrepreneurial mentality. He is a producer and not a consumer. He thinks of adding value, not exhausting it.
An ordinary person is wishful. He daydreams about making gobs of money quickly. He is constantly trapped by get rich quick scheme, hoping to find the way to the top. A person with a billionaire mind is real. He takes one sustainable step at a time towards the bigger goal. He understands the importance of a solid foundation. He spends most of his time sharpening his tools as he wait for the next opportunity.
An ordinary person resists change. He wants to succeed but he does not want to change anything. He does not understand that the mentality that took him into poverty will never take him out of it! A person with a billionaire mind-set embraces change, changing for better. He knows that the only thing that is constant is change, hence he leverages the constant flow of change for his benefit.
An ordinary person accepts the status quo. He thinks that things have been like this for a long time and they remain the same. That’s why he is constantly being surprised when his peers move to the next level. A person with a billionaire mind-set is always looking to make things better, starting with himself
An ordinary person reacts. He waits for problem to come before he responds. He waits for the opportunity to knock at his door before he opens. Now a person with a billionaire mind-set is proactive. He analyse possible risk and put in place mitigation measures. He goes out and turns situations into opportunities. He knows that by the time the opportunity knocks on your door it will probably too late.
An ordinary person believes in luck. He looks at a successful person and thinks, ‘That guy’s lucky.’ What he does not know is luck is manmade and that luck is created. A person with a billionaire mind thinks, ‘What’s his secret?’ or ‘How can I do that?’ or ‘How can I improve on that?’
The list is endless but start where you are. Be humble and start asking questions to find out how things were done. After a month go to the next habit and develop it. Soon you will find your lifestyle changing and heading in the direction you so wanted to go.

Interview: Wilbert Mutoko – A Business Leader And Personal Financial Expert who is Touching Nations – Part 2
Today at It’s My Footprint (IMFP) we continue with Part 2 of our interview with
Mr Wilbert R. Mutoko (WM) the, ‘Financial Doctor’, a best-selling author. He is a renowned Personal Finance & Leadership Expert, and university lecturer for Entrepreneurship & Business Leadership.
(IMFP) I understand you have written a number of books. Let’s go into some of the work you have done.
(WM) I have authored three books: the first book is the best-selling ‘15 Secrets for Personal Financial Success – A Simple Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Freedom.’ (2012).
The second one is ‘16 Mistakes Singles Make Vol. 1 – A Guide to Successful Dating and Courtship that leads to Blissful Marriage’ (2014) and the third book is ‘What you have is Enough – How to become wildly successful in Finance and Business starting from where you are now.’(December 2015)
(IMFP) They say ‘iron sharpen iron.’ Did you have any remarkable mentors or advisors who boosted you to where you are today, what you believe in and what you are committed to in your work and life? Share with our followers about it.
(WM) I am forever grateful for my aunt’s advice and motivation – Mavis Mutoko-Gororo (MHSRIP). What my father Mark Mutoko (MHSRIP), and mother Irene Mutoko contributed to my life causes me to desire to help more people achieve their best in life. I am glad that today I am called father by many scholars, youths and adults alike because I am contributing into their human development.
Spiritually I have mainly been moulded by teachings and lives of Prof Ezekiel Guti (ZAOGA) and Dr David Oyedepo (Winners Chapel).
(IMFP) Wilbert, what skills do you consider crucial for success for an upcoming scholar and writer?
(WM) Research skills, listening skills, thinking and creativity.
(IMFP) When you think of the future of the kind of work you’ve talked about here, what gives you a sense of hope for your future?
(WM) What excites me most is when I get testimonies of changed lives through my preaching, coaching, mentorship, writings, books or training. That gives me maximum satisfaction. The fulfilment I get from changed lives through my works is more than money. I love changing lives.
(IMFP) We hear you talk lots about Botswana and South Africa. When shall we expect the impact of your works in Zimbabwe?
(WM) I have lots in Zimbabwe between 1995 and 2002 in terms of preaching and mentoring young people. Of late I have donated my books to SOS Harare and University of Zimbabwe. The project is expected to continue with me and Coach Princess donating more books to many centres.
In 2016 we also hope to launch my third book in Harare to benefit my people.
(IMFP) What is the worst experience you have gone through and what lessons have you drawn from it?
(WM) When I fell ill during A-Level. I learnt that God reigns, without God; there is no success to talk about. He gives and takes life. Without him I am nothing. For this reason, whatever I do; I remind myself that my success is for his glory. Therefore, I must never think that I am better than others.
(IMFP) How do you define success?
(WM) I define success as continuous progress in your pursuits. Success is being able to continuously deliver excellent results in your line of duty. Success is not having a lot of money; although having a lot of money can help you to become more successful. Success is being able to positively affect more and more lives with what you have.
(IMFP) If you could spend time with someone who has attained the kind of success you are looking to reach, what questions would you ask them?
(WM) I would ask the following questions;
How did you become who you are?
What excites you most about what you do?
What disappoints you most about what you do?
What three pieces of advice would you give to someone who desires to become as successful as you are?
(IMFP) What social cause(s) do you support/advocate for?
(WM) Donating to orphans, widows and less privileged. Spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
(IMFP) What economic cause(s) do you support/advocate for?
(WM) Teaching about entrepreneurship and money. I passionately want people to know that job creation can change our economies. But it is not the work of governments to create jobs. Governments should create a conducive environment for businesses to start and thrive. It is you and I i.e. the private sector that can reduce poverty and create employment. I also want everyone to learn how to make and grow money. Money is not taught in schools; so all of us must read books, attend seminars etc. to equip ourselves with financial knowledge.
(IMFP) What kind of friends do you have and how have they influenced the person you are?
(WM) My best friend is my wife. All others are just acquaintances. I like positive minded people that learn and desire to teach others good things. I like people that love others and strive to make a difference. It is time for Africa. So I get excited when I meet people that are keen to develop Africa, regardless of their race or place of origin.

(IMFP) Financial Doctor, if you weren’t doing what you are doing now, what would be your occupation?
(WM) I would be a full time pastor. I love people. Yaah. I really do.
(IMFP) Who was your first hero? Are they still your hero today?
(WM) Mark Tichaona Mutoko – my father. He was the man. No one among those born of a man and a woman can beat my late daddy on this one.
(IMFP) Financial stability, intelligence, emotional maturity and attractiveness: which would you pick if you could only have two of the four?
(WM) For me, number one is financial stability, followed by emotional maturity. I out emotional maturity on number two ahead of intelligence because I have seen a lot of intelligent people that blew up opportunities due to lack of emotional maturity.
(IMFP) What is on your playlist currently?
(WM) Anything by my favourite – Pastor Charles Charamba. He is the man, together with his awesome wife Olivia Charamba. What an amazing and humble couple. I love them to bits.
(IMFP) Financial Doctor, what impact have your career choices had on your loved ones?
(WM) It has widened their horizons. My children for instance, are always on their toes because I tell them that they must be better than me in everything. So it looks I am giving them a tough target with the things I am doing. Furthermore, I do not want to choose careers for my children, I help them decide what they want to do.
(IMFP) Are you where you envisioned you would be five years ago? Where do you see yourself five years from now?
(WM) Interestingly, yes. But I am a wild dreamer, so some of my crazy dreams are yet to come to pass.
(IMFP) What was the last book you read and what did you learn from it?
(WM) I am reading Robert Kiyosaki’s book – Retire young, retire rich. I am learning that retiring rich is my choice and it will help me to help the less fortunate.
(IMFP) How would you describe your character?
(WM) I am sober, straight-forward, strict, tough inside, very loving and caring, lover of fairness; faithful, trustworthy and dependable.
(IMFP) What is the craziest thing you’d like to achieve/attain?
(WM) I would like to address all presidents of the world in one sitting in a group coaching session where I help them how best to manage themselves and manage their countries. I see myself owning minimum 20 universities before I am promoted to heaven. I see myself enjoying my birthdays from 3 years to come with orphans, widows and less privileged.
(IMFP) What characteristics do you look for in a partner, business or personal? Integrity, integrity and integrity.
(IMFP) Let’s talk about Wilbert the man! Give us a bit of your social and family life.
(WM) I am a family man. Although I am extremely busy; I create quality time for my wife and 3 kids. I create time to play games with my kids and wife because ‘charity begins at home.’
I love testifying about Christ. I only became a pastor at Winners Chapel in 2010, but I have always been a preacher from 1995. I love to direct people to the only one who can help them fully – Jesus of Nazareth.
(IMFP) Thank you so much financial doctor for taking time off your demanding schedule. We appreciate and value your useful advice.
(WM) You are most welcome and thanks once again for having me.
