The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires

If you are in debt, part of you belongs to your creditors. To whom you give your money, you give your power.”1

Push yourself out of your comfort zone. Take a risk. You won’t achieve anything by staying in a box; it’s counterproductive. Never underestimate your skills or strengths, or how much you can accomplish or achieve. Don’t worry about the distance, only concentrate on the direction.20

“How you think is who you become.”

Others, such as the famed historian Carter G. Woodson, believe the reason goes much deeper. Woodson theorized in his seminal tome, The Mis-Education of the Negro, that “if you can control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.”25
