People who’ve activated their Millionaire Attitude through Pam’s
belief in their ability to Think Bigger!
“Pam you are a true gift to all who you touch. No matter how successful you become, you do not forget those who may not be in your position. That counts for a great deal with me and I am sure many others. Thank you”. Roz Fruchtman
"You're such a breath of fresh air Pam!!! Magic!!" Carren Smith Quantum Leadership Group
Pam I especially loved your book Your Millionaire Attitude and going to SheExperts. I think having a role model like yourself that Australian women can look up to and hang out with at your events and online is a privilege we are all very lucky to have. Melissa Groom, Toddlers To Teens
I value your friendship and your focus is so inspirational. You are a great role model. Suzie Cheel
"Pam! As you know, you're my mentor for 2012 and (I'm certain) well beyond! How fortunate for me that I met you when I did. Too many women leaders today are simply teaching "fluff"- your direct, to-the-point, REAL, caring approach is a breath of fresh air amidst a lot of noise. Your strategies have already helped me sooooo much, and I can't wait for what's to come. Thank you Pam!" Pam Haack
Thanks for everything you teach and share! You're an inspiration. Karen Robertson Treasure Kai Books
Pam, if it wasn't for you, I would not be on the road I am now and I would not have the opportunities that have eventuated because of the new path. Wow, how my life has changed. And I'm so grateful for all the great friends I've met because of you. Lisa Tremolada Maddisons Real Estate

I'll never forget that moment when you physically sat me on that stool (my pedestal) and showed me exactly how I could grow not only my business but my clients' businesses in a way that was different to others in my niche.... I know that your generosity and faith in me has increased the value in many more businesses indirectly and will continue to do so for a long time to come... watch this space...! Karen Thomson Visionary VA
Pam, meeting you has quite frankly changed my world for the better...
thanks Nikki Cooper
Two years ago I walked into an event held by Pam Brossman not knowing that my life was about to change. The content she shared changed the direction my life was heading. Today I am not only more educated with online marketing but I have the information and confidence under my belt to implement it all. If you want results and want to stay ahead of your competitor to have the benefit of insightful knowledge of not just online marketing but also in business coaching then she is the women for you.
Her ability to find innovative ideas aimed at improving the performance for any niche, or breaking things down till you completely understand what you are working on has allowed her to assist many entrepreneurs and small businesses boost knowledge and then in turn their profits in a very short period of time. Or more so I believe in her steering ME onto the right track. Pam Brossman has definitely changed my life. Maryanne Karouche Hair Beauty Glamour

FOREWORD
I was first introduced to Pam Brossman through a chance Social Media
Encounter in 2009. At that time, I never could have imagined where my life
would take me just a few short years later, with most of my success directly
associated to my relationship with her, and what she has taught me in such
a short time. We have become the best of friends, Business Partners, and
still today she is one of my most respected mentors.
I have had the greatest pleasure of getting to read this book prior to
publication, and all I can say is WOW! This book is a must read for anyone
who is looking to improve the quality of their life. If you have ever faced a
hardship or stared adversity in the face, then you too can rise above all
things and make your dreams a reality, by creating your own Millionaire
Attitude.
In this book, Pam shares some amazing life experiences that will have an
incredible impact on how you look at your own life, and what purpose you
have for being on this planet. You are not here by accident!
Pam has the greatest ability to connect with Women, and help them
embrace their talents in a way that I’ve never seen before. It’s like she
knows exactly what you are meant to do, and teaches you how to make it
happen. She motivates and inspires you to reach higher than you ever
thought was possible.
This book touched my heart immensely, and is both heartwarming and
inspirational. Not only will you connect on several different levels, but Pam
also shares practical advice and gives you an “Attitude Action Plan” to
follow. She is brilliant when it comes to creating step by step systems and
provides tools and resources to achieve your goals. She is dedicated to
helping you live the Millionaire Lifestyles that you desire, and deserve. It all
starts with “Your Millionaire Attitude.”
Imagine for a moment what your life would look like if your dreams could
actually come true, if you could accomplish the things you desire, and if you
could make the kind of money you want. It all starts with your mindset and
having the right attitude. So find a quiet place and soak up all this book has
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 10
to offer. It illustrates that each and every one of us has the power within us
to create our own dream life. Living the life you desire will bring you
fulfillment like you’ve never known.
My final note: Attitude is everything, and you can overcome anything with
the right attitude and mindset! Remember, Adversity Creates Opportunity,
Embrace it!
Personal Note to Pam: I am so proud of you. I know at times it probably wasn't comfortable
sharing such a personal journey, but it's through your honesty and
transparency that makes you so approachable. You are making a
difference in this world, and your dedication to help others is an inspiration
to everyone you come in contact with. Thank you for continuing to
encourage and inspire me to reach higher. You’ve given me wings to fly!

INTRODUCTION
I personally believe everyone has a gift and the ability to use that gift to
achieve anything they want in life. The problem I find with most people is
either
They can’t see it for themselves
They’ve lost their way
They’ve hit a hurdle and given up
They’ve lost their self confidence
Or for some reason, believe they never had it to begin with, so never
even tried to achieve anything
For years, I kept meeting women who had everything it takes to be
successful in life, but who could not see it within themselves, so they just
stopped living the dream.
That is when the Millionaire Attitude Program came to me.
Over the last 3 years, I have been working with women entrepreneurs
helping them to take their knowledge and expertise and turn it into a
lifestyle business model.
I had been living this for the vast majority of my life in some shape or form
and I wanted to help these women, and other people who were stuck, to
get back out there and reactivate their own Millionaire Attitude.
In this book I share with you stories, tips, tools and strategies on how you
can use your attitude to impact every area of your life including:
Personal goals and aspirations
Wealth
Career
Business
Health; and
Success, whatever that may be for you.
Did you know that success is just an attitude?
Did you also know that the only person stopping you from succeeding in life
is you and your current attitude?
Good!
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 12
Now that we have that sorted, let’s get down to business and start creating
your own personal success story.
I know some of you have wasted a lot of valuable years living life with the
wrong attitude. And to be honest with you, I have heard every excuse in
the book as to why that is, so don’t try and tell me yours is any different
because it will fall on deaf ears. Why?
Because I have heard, experienced and seen far too many stories of
people who have lived real life horror stories and the worst of adversity in
their life, who’ve never let that be an excuse for not being able to succeed
in life. If anything it was that adversity that became the WHY that drove
them to succeed even more.
That is what I want for you - to find that exact same attitude and belief. No
matter what you’ve faced in your life, you can always change how the story
ends and why I dedicate this book to you.
This book has been written with the sole purpose of helping you to find your
own Millionaire Attitude.
An attitude that will activate you to
Take action
Create your own personal success story and;
Start living the lifestyle you were born to live.
The best way to use this book is to read through it once and take notes.
Write down your ideas and any aha moments using either a notebook,
workbook or the Your Millionaire Attitude Journal [available on our
website at YourMillionaireAttitude.com].
Once you have read the complete book, go through each chapter again
and use it as an Attitude Action Plan that will help you succeed.
No one else can activate your new Millionaire Attitude but you.
So let the activation begin.

On the following page, you will see that I have created a commitment letter
for you.
I find that when you sign your name to a commitment, it adds more weight
to what you are trying to achieve.
Throughout this book you will find other strategies that I use to allow you to
take more ownership of your goals and aspirations to assist you with
activating your own Millionaire Attitude.
Now this is what you need to do:
Photocopy the next page [or you can type it out yourself and add a
photo and print it off - whichever is easier]
Add a photo that you love to the top of the page to take ownership of
your commitment to take action
Put it somewhere that you can see it every day.
It is important that you make this promise to yourself so that you
Stay focused on moving forward and
Motivated towards your desired goals and dreams

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
“Success is a choice, what do you choose?” Pam Brossman
I was born in Toronto, Canada, to a Jamaican
mother and an English father.
The youngest of four children, I credit my
mother for instilling in me a ‘Millionaire Attitude’
and strong values from a very young age.
I migrated to New Zealand with my family at the
age of seven and have very fond memories of
the day we left Canada.
I truly believe what happened that day had a huge subconscious impact on
the ‘Millionaire Attitude’ that holds true for my life today.
I remember it as if it was only yesterday. We were all packed to go to the
airport to fly to New Zealand when my Mum told me to go and get my
brothers and sister who were saying their final goodbyes down by the lake.
I ran down but they were nowhere to be seen.
Wondering where everyone had gone and not wanting to leave the only
home I’d ever known, I started crying and plonked myself down in a clover
patch, picking at them one by one as tears streamed down my face.
Suddenly I stopped crying. I could not believe my eyes; there in my hands I
was holding what seriously looked like a real four leaf clover!
I counted and recounted, and yes there were four leaves. I picked it up and
ran home to show mum.
She confirmed it was a four leaf clover and put it inside a love heart-shaped
box lined with cotton wool to take with me to our new home far, far away.
I guess I always felt lucky from that day forward. The ‘Millionaire Attitude’
was born that very day and reinforced by my mother many, many times
over the course of my life. She would say to me, ‘Pam, if you truly believe
you can do it, and then you’ll do it.’
As you will discover throughout this book, there have been some
exceptional challenges in my life and my Millionaire Attitude has waned as
a consequence. Thankfully, I have always been able to reignite that
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 18
Attitude once again and that has allowed me to pull through those tough
times, recover and take yet another positive leap forward in my life.
At the age of 18 I got the urge to travel. With only $500 in my pocket, I
packed my bags for the adventure of a lifetime and flew across the Tasman
to find my fortune in Australia.
After buying my first home at 31 and then the second by 35 and doubling
my money in a very short period of time, I realised that I had a knack for
property. I bought my first million-dollar home in one of Sydney’s most
prestigious suburbs, the suburb where I still live with my family today.
I spent more than 25 years in the corporate communications industry, but
after the birth of my son Hunter, I decided the corporate life was no longer
for me and went in search of a lifestyle change. Almost by accident I found
myself in the world of Internet Marketing.
In 2009 I joined forces with my marketing husband, Steve Brossman, to
teach people the power of video marketing, and today we have a very
successful global business.
I love working with elite women in business and recently launched
SheExperts.com to help women take their expertise and turn it into a
lifestyle business model that incorporates their own Millionaire Attitude
Action Plan.
Too many women have stopped living the dream. I want to show them
that they can have it all …and more.
I credit much of my success to learning with the best in my industry
including Frank Kern, Brendon Burchard, Rich Schefren, Stephen Covey,
Dan Kennedy and many other authors and mentors whose books &
teachings have impacted my life. I’ve always believed that attitude and
mindset have played a huge part in my success.
The more I studied successful people the more I realised that they all had
one common trait. Sure they all had different levels of education, different
upbringings, different stories, hurdles, mentors and accomplishments
throughout their own personal journey but what they all seemed to have in
common was their attitude towards success. That is why some people can
follow the same formula and fail when others succeed. It all boils down to
having the right attitude.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 19
I too have also faced many hurdles in life including losing my million dollar
home requiring me to start again, to seeing my sister face the most heart
wrenching experience of her life that would impact her and her daughter
forever.
Adversity is certainly not a stranger to me. But as you will read over and
again in this book – it is your attitude to life that helps you survive these
hurdles. I believe that if you always live your life looking at your glass half
full, then you will ALWAYS make it back to the top, no matter what life
throws your way!
It’s important to us as a family to start each day with a Millionaire Attitude
and I hope that this book will help you to find the same love, happiness,
success and good fortune that we have found in our lives.
People often have the wrong impression about success which is a shame
and is something I had to overcome myself.
Many think that successful people are just focused on themselves, the
latest toys, drinking champagne, going on holidays etc and really don’t
have any time for the important things in life like family, supporting your
community and making a difference.
But what I soon learned is that sure, there are people like that out there,
they are very few. Most people that I hang out with, that are very, very
wealthy and successful, are some of the most caring, empathetic, giving
people you could ever meet. Most of them have come from humble
beginnings, and have worked really hard to achieve their success by
looking at the glass half full, not half empty.
The suburb I live in is the most philanthropic suburb in the WHOLE of
Australia. That’s right! When it comes to giving, we are the most giving
suburb in our country which should be a huge awakening to those who
think millionaires only think about themselves.
As you will learn in this book, having the wrong perception of people will be
your biggest misgiving in achieving your own success. Never assume that
because people are successful that they are greedy and uncaring.
It is really important that you do not hinder your own Millionaire Attitude life choices by thinking that being successful is a bad thing because it is not.
Being successful in life allows you the ability to:
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 20
Help others
Look after your family
Help your community
Give your children the lifestyle that they deserve
Be there when your family needs your help
In fact success and money allows you to reach so many more people, to
really make a difference and live a life that you deserve to live.
I want to share with you another key point that I believe is a myth. You do
NOT have to be a millionaire to lead a millionaire lifestyle. But what is really
important for you to learn is that you DO want to hang out with people who
are already where you want to be.
What do I mean by that? When you hang out with successful people, their
success, attitude, mindset and vision rubs off on you and you start to see
things differently.
When, Steve and I decided to move in together he would not live on the
Northern Beaches with me and I would not live in Neutral Bay with him so
he set me a challenge. He said if you can find a place with views of the
ocean, close to the city that is the same price we are paying now then I will
move in with you. [He did not think I would be able to do it, but he had only
known me about 8 months so he did not realise that you do NOT set Pam a
challenge and expect her not to achieve it. That is like waiving a red flag to
a bull].
It took me 10 days to find it. Steve was away on business and I found this
place that I just fell in love with plus it was where all the successful
millionaires lived so I was ready for a mindset change. Steve could not
believe his eyes when he saw what I’d found and we took it straight away.
Well that was 12 years ago and we have never left.
The point I want you to understand is, moving into a millionaire suburb has
had a huge impact on the way we think, our mindset and our ability to take
risks that we never would have taken otherwise.
When you hang around people who are living the lifestyle that you want to
live, the vision becomes even clearer and the opportunities to start creating
this for yourself starts to present themselves. e.g. you get invited to dinner
where you meet other successful people. Your children start playing with
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 21
other children of other successful people and you get introduced to things
that you never thought possible.
These days we lease a multi-million dollar home, from where we also run
our business. It includes a huge film studio and enough space to run our
elite mastermind workshops.
Did we have to be millionaires to make this a reality? NOPE!
We just decided to Think Bigger and make it our reality.
Money does not have to change your values, beliefs, trust and integrity.
When you read this book, allow yourself to shift that
mindset about money being a bad thing. Focus more
on how Your Millionaire Attitude and personal success
can impact the lives of so many other people.
Successful people are still the same person on the
inside and they are just like you. The difference is, they
believe in reaching for their dream, living their lives to
the fullest and just having a go.
Now it is your turn to do the same for you, your family and your own
lifestyle choices.
Start thinking like a millionaire and watch the doors of opportunity start
opening for you that you did not in your wildest dreams think were possible.
Let Your Millionaire Attitude Journey Begin!
To Your Success always

YOUR MILLIONAIRE ATTITUDE
is just an attitude!
This book has been written to help you activate Your Millionaire Attitude
from within and implement it into whatever area of your life where you want
to succeed.
Note: you will see that each chapter of this book is based on the acronym
of the word ATTITUDE.
A = ATTITUDE
T = THINK BIGGER
T = TEACHERS
I = IMPLEMENTATION
T = TRUST
U = UNIQUENESS
D = DETERMINATION
E = ELEVATION
Each letter defines what I believe to be the mindset, skills, tips and tools
you need to stay focused on your journey and succeed in life.
Some examples are based on personal success, some on career and
business and some on financial wealth. You can use this book to help you
grow, think bigger, change your mindset and your attitude and succeed in
all or any particular area of your life that is important to you personally.
At the end of each chapter you will find the Millionaire Attitude Action
Steps. These are steps that you can start using to help you start activating
and creating Your Millionaire Attitude Action Plan.
Chapter 1 | Attitude
A=ATTITUDE
So how did I come up with the term Millionaire Attitude and what does
that have to do with your mindset?
I have found that most people associate the word Millionaire with the
outcome of someone who is successful. But what most people do not
realise is that you do not have to have a million dollars in the bank to be
successful in life.
I have learnt, after years of studying successful people, that success is just
an Attitude. So I took what people believed success to be, which for many
is becoming a Millionaire, and combined it with what success really is,
which is having the right Attitude and created Your Millionaire Attitude
Program.
You see, I soon realised that for you to be able to activate your own
Millionaire Attitude and for you to start creating your own success story,
you needed to shift your mindset and change your attitude.
If you ask any successful millionaire, they will all tell you that success is
95% mindset and 5% idea, risk, action, implementation and strategy.
I believe we are all born with the mindset to succeed in life. I mean, think
back to when you were growing up. You experienced many challenges at a
very young age, from trying to swallow solids without choking, learning to
crawl without falling down stairs or whacking your head on tables. Then
walking, talking, climbing, riding a bike, going to school, reading and being
called names, HSC [Higher School Certificate], driving a car and the list
goes on.
Then almost without even realising it, you are all grown up and making your
own choices in life.
But if you take a minute to step back and reflect, not only did we achieve
and succeed at all of those challenges, we did this while overcoming many
hurdles, obstacles and sometimes horrific experiences along the way and
still survived to tell the story.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 24
The problem is that most people keep reliving the past and staying in their
adversity as a way to overcome the fear of failure. When, if they just took a
chance and changed their attitude and mindset, they could leave the past
behind and start building a future based on a life they really want, and a life
they deserve to live.
So what is it that makes some of us go through all this in life and see the
glass still half full and others go through different challenges and see the
glass forever half empty. It’s your ATTITUDE!
There will be critics who say “You were born in a middle class family, with a
great education, nice clothes, beautiful home, lots of friends, a Mum who
stayed at home and a Dad who had a secure job – why wouldn’t you see
the glass half full?”
But is that really my story? Or is that the one that you have assumed must
have been my story because of the success I have created for myself?
Just because someone is born with what seems like the icing on the cake
does not mean that the cake tasted very good. Stop to think if it was made
with the right ingredients. Was there a helping hand to make sure it did not
flop? Was it a cake she even wanted to bake?
So my first Attitude Advice Tip for you to overcome is this …
“Never assume another person’s journey has always been rosy. And never
use those assumptions as an excuse for your own personal failures or bad
attitude. How people get to where they are in life, is their story not yours.
It’s how you tackle your life and how you look at your own glass that will
determine your outcome”.
Never blame another person for where you are today; I have made that
mistake in the past. The choices you make now will determine the road you
will follow, and even when sometimes that journey is beyond your control,
how you survive those bumps in the road and move forward from those
adversities will determine the end result. You have full control of the
journey and the destination, and how you choose to look at your own ‘life
glass’. Is it going to be half empty or half full?”
I will share with you a quick story.
Going through school I was an ‘A’ grade student. My sister was very gifted
at art but not so good at English and Maths so she was not in the higher
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 25
classes like myself. She used to hang out with the kids at school who
always got into trouble and I use to hang out with the kids who were the
class captains.
When my sister was 14, she decided that she wanted to do her own thing
and go to night clubs, parties and stay out all night. This mortified my
parents but no matter what they said she would not listen and chose to run
away.
As you can imagine, she became the bad kid at school. Parents stopped
wanting their kids to play with me, and I started to blame her for my lack of
friends and the impact on my grades at school. I kept on wondering why
she couldn’t be just like me. We had the same parents, the same great
upbringing; we wanted for nothing. Yet she was determined to hang out
with the kids who got into trouble. I seriously could not figure out what was
wrong with her.
That stigma of no longer being accepted by my peers stayed with me for a
long time and impacted on how I saw myself. I no longer believed I
deserved to be with the ‘A’ grade students and my grades started to fall. My
parents’ reaction was to move far away to escape the situation which left
me with no friends. And all this right in the middle of my exams. And guess
what? Yep I failed didn’t I!
So then I thought ‘great, now I am stupid and I am going to end up living
the life my sister has chosen’ and I was angry, upset and a little scared.
From then on I blamed my sister for everything that went wrong in my life.
It was never my fault. It was always hers. It was so much easier to blame
another person then take responsibility for my own choices, actions or
more accurately, lack of action.
Looking back know I realise that I used my sister as a way out for me. She
was someone to blame for me failing my subjects and making bad
decisions in my own personal life. Deep down I think I envied her for
breaking away from the norm and following her own dreams instead of
living the dreams our parents had wanted for us.
Now with a different mindset and Millionaire Attitude, I realise that the
choices that I made were always mine, and the journey my sister had
chosen for herself was her story. I really had no one to blame for my life,
my choices or my experiences but me.

In fact, now I can look back and seriously say she did me a favour. She
gave me an insight into a life I did not want to live and helped me to realise
that if I did not take control of where I was going, or the choices I made, I
may end up living her story and that was not the life I saw for me.
Even though my sister and I are still very different, she has been the
inspiration behind many of my successes because she has always taken
risks, and looked at the world always with the glass half full.
When I have got lost on my own journey, she has always been there to
show me how to get back in the car and continue on my road to success.
Even when life threw her the biggest curve ball of all, and no one would
have blamed her if she’d just got up and walked away, she never did. Why?
Because, she has a Millionaire Attitude. [And yes I will share her story
with you later in the book].
Is there someone in your life that you blame for where you are right now?
For the mistakes that you made? For your lack of success?
Maybe you feel you have good reason to blame that person, experience or
situation. But the question you need to ask yourself today. Does blame still
serve you or help you to create your dream life? Think about the life that
you really want to live, but don’t seem to be able to get to, because you are
still living in the past.
If that blame is no longer serving you, then it is time to
Let it go
Wipe the slate clean
Start resetting your goals
Fill a new glass and make that glass forever full
Change your focus into what it is you really want to achieve; and
Just get out there and do it!
The minute you stop blaming others and stop focusing on what you haven’t
achieved in your life you will direct your focus into what you can achieve
and your mindset shift will be HUGE.
That is what having a Millionaire Attitude feels like. Knowing you can
achieve anything…then getting out there and just doing it. Trust me;
shifting your mindset will be the biggest life changing experience ever in
your life, for the better!
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 27
The point I am trying to make is,
You will have experienced many things in your life that has had a huge
impact on your attitude, your results, where you are right now in your life
and how you look at your own glass.
And you may have gone through life blaming where you are right now, on
what you have experienced in
Your past environment
A particular circumstance, or
An act of another person
And for some of you the blame, anger and hurt is justified without a shadow
of a doubt. I am by no means trying to trivialise your pain, heartache or
experience.
But what I do want you to think about is…
…Are you going to let that chapter of your life designate the rest of your
life? Or are you going to wipe the slate clean, move forward and start
building the life that you’ve always wanted and can now choose to
achieve? That is a mindset choice that only you can make.
As soon as you make the decision that yesterday is gone and can’t be
changed, and start focusing on today and the future of tomorrow, the
mindset shift will be the beginning of a new route that will impact your
direction, your attitude and your success stories for the rest of your life.
How do I know? Because this has been my journey and the journey of
thousands of successful people. Individuals who were where you are now,
but chose to change their mindset, attitude and create their own success
story and who‘ve never looked back.
Now it is YOUR TURN!
“Success is a choice, what are YOU going to choose?” Pam Brossman
Okay, so now you’ve decided to change your attitude, today is the day you
are going to wipe your slate clean and start moving forward. No more
looking back, no more blaming others - just wipe it clean [this is very, very
important].
It is now time to start activating your Millionaire Attitude Mindset. That’s
right it is ‘Your Time to Shine’, so let’s get the party started!

Millionaire Attitude Tip #1
“You do not have to do this by yourself. In fact the more support you have,
or buddy system or positive reinforcement you can find to help you get to
where you want to go, the faster you will reach your destination.”
MILLIONAIRE ATTITUDE MINDSET ACTIVATION
The best way I know to help you get started, is to tell you what worked for
me, and see if that resonates with you. This will give you a framework to
start moving yourself forward.
How I got my Millionaire Attitude back…
Even though I believe everyone is born with the Millionaire Attitude from
birth, I also believe that circumstances and your environment can also send
you many curve balls, to test and see if you really have what it takes to
succeed.
That is where the attitude comes into play. People who have an attitude,
that is channeled in the right direction, with clear focus, can achieve
amazing things. So this story is to help you see how I channeled my
energy after a curve ball was sent my way.
Another Quick Story….
Being lucky in love was never really my forté. I think it stemmed right back
to when I got braces at 12 years of age. All my girlfriends were taking an
interest in boys; going on dates, holding hands and hanging out at the
beach. When the boys looked at me though, all they saw was Frankenstein
with metal teeth [or so I thought] and that stigma stuck with me throughout
most of my teenage years.
So I channeled all my lack of romance into trying to succeed at school and
after that in my career and did very well [outside of failing my exams, but
we already know that story].
Finally I found someone who I thought was the man of my dreams, began
settling down, buying a house and getting engaged. I really thought I had
finally found my nirvana in life. Funnily enough my friends and family did
not quite see what I saw in my choice of partner.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 29
Have you ever experienced that? Everyone keeps telling you what is wrong
with your partner or relationship but you just can’t see it? I think they call it
‘blinded by love’. Well guess who had the blinkers on big time…yep you
guessed it little Miss Frankenstein.
Looking back now I realise it was my toxic environment that had whittled
down my self confidence and my Millionaire Attitude so low that I had lost
all belief in myself, my goals and my dreams and just started living
someone else’s.
One day, 7 years later, I woke up and saw exactly what my friends and
family had been seeing all along, realised that what I thought was nirvana
was really just settling for second best and I deserved better.
It took all my strength to walk away. We had hit one too many rocky roads
and I just knew this time we had run out of petrol and there was nothing left
to put back in the tank. It was time to trade the old life in for a new
adventure.
That was one of the scariest days of my life. My family couldn’t really
support me as they all lived overseas. I moved close to the ocean; a place
where I felt at peace and where I could wipe the slate clean and make a
fresh start.
Millionaire Attitude Tip #2
Have the strength to let go, with no regrets and wipe the slate clean. Letting
go can be the activation button you need to get back out there and start
succeeding in your life.
I continued to pour all my energy into my career and once again started
moving up the ladder, but I was lonely and my biological clock was ticking.
About 12 weeks after my split, I decided I needed to get away, go on an
adventure and see what the world had in store for me.
This was a very daunting decision for this real homebody, but I knew it was
something I had to do; I just had to get away.
So I booked a Contiki trip around Europe to see 12 countries in 28 days.
Something I had always wanted to do. And so off I went.

Millionaire Attitude Tip #3
Be prepared to take risks, try new things and push yourself past any
limiting beliefs that do not serve your journey to success.
On the way home I stopped in to see my sister. Remember the one I told
you who was living the life I did not want to live, but always saw the glass
half full.
Well since I had last seen her, she had become a life coach and was doing
really, really well. But what I loved the most, was that she was really happy
and living life with no regrets. Even though she had made a lot of mistakes
in her life, she understood it was part of her journey and just kept moving
forward. Once again I envied her ability to always look on the bright side of
life.
Millionaire Attitude Tip #4
Look at the positives in your adversity so that you can find a solution
instead of focusing on what you cannot change.
I told my sister about my dreams for me and my life and how I really wished
I could take better control of achieving the dream. I knew I had it in me to
get out there and do it, but I just needed some sort of structure or
framework to stay focused on the end goal without getting side tracked like
I had so many times in the past.
“Pam, I have a system that I teach my clients that I think may help you.
Would you like to try it and see if helps you?” she said. “Sure”, I said “Why
not? I have nothing to lose”.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 31
This is what she shared with me:
Get a folder - this will become your ‘Success Folder’
In that folder I want you to break it up into the 5 key areas of your life
Family
Finance
Health
Wealth/Assets
Relationships
On the very first page write down your WHY. Why do you want to
achieve these goals so badly? What is the driving force, the core
reason that you want to achieve your goals? It is very important that
you have a strong why, because that is what keeps you going when the
going gets tough.
Now under each of those 5 headings I want you to write in very specific
detail what each area of your ideal life looks like. It is very, very
important that you write down exactly what you want and if you want to
add more power to it include images in your folder as well.
Then at the back of each of your detailed specific descriptions write
down how you plan on obtaining, achieving or focusing on each area of
your life.
Then pick which one is the most important to you right now
Then place the rest of them in order of importance to you in your folder
Take the one that you want to achieve the most right now in your life,
take your description of how you are going to achieve it and turn it into
an action plan
30 day
3 month
6 month
12 month plan
It might not take you 12 months to achieve it but it keeps you focused
on moving forward if ‘life’ gets in the way.
Once you have achieved a goal, in your most important area of your life,
then move onto the next one. Focus is the key to your success. Your
Millionaire Attitude is the key to not giving up.
Reward yourself when you meet a goal or target you have set for
yourself
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 32
Enjoy yourself, have fun and just revisit your life folder every day or
once a week to remind yourself what you are trying to achieve and to
stay on target for reaching your dreams.
“And that is it”, she said. I told her “I can do that”.
So I went back to Australia and I did exactly what she told me to do. My key
focus at that time in my life [after being on my own now for a while] was to
meet someone to love, be my best friend, share my life and start a family.
So relationships and family were my top two goals in my Success Folder,
and then came health, assets and finance.
I was very specific in what I wanted in a life partner and when I read back
what I had written, I really thought this person was just too perfect to even
exist. My sister had very clearly stated that I had to get very specific
including:
Where they lived
What they did for a job
How much they earned
Their values
Hair colour
Eyes
Height
Weight
Health
Passions
Career aspirations
What type of car he drives
His assets
Values & beliefs[very important]
I had to include everything.
One day I said to her in jest “What about his underwear brand? She said “If
that is important to you write it down,” I laughed.
Now, I know you are going to laugh and probably think I have lost a few
marbles, and that is okay, I still can’t believe that this stuff works myself.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 33
But no word of a lie, within 6 months, I met exactly, I
mean exactly, the person I had described in my
Success Folder. 12 months later I got married and
12 months after that my beautiful son Hunter was
born and the rest is history.
“My WHY in the front of my Life Journal was to
become a Mum and create the happy family I had
longed for, but so far had eluded me’.
And if you don’t believe me, ask my husband Steve Brossman. I told him
this exact same story 6 months after we started going out and showed him
my list of what I wanted in a life partner that I had written in my Success
Folder.
He read it, and he read it again and the third time he read it he
said….”That’s me”. I said “Yes it is”. And we have been using some form of
Success Folder and Vision Board ever since. Why? Because it works!
Millionaire Attitude Tip #5
Clarity and focus is key. When you want something badly enough, your
WHY is strong enough, and you are living in the NOW and not in the past,
the energy and positive attitude that is laser focused on a certain area of
your life has no other choice but to gain momentum and get results.
I am not telling you that you have to create a Success Journal if the idea of
that does not appeal to you. All I am saying is…..take the time to sit back
and really, really think about what it is you want for your life. Answer some
of these questions and get clear and focused on what you truly want and
how you are going to get it including:
Why are you here? What is your purpose?
What is your biggest dream?
What is really, really important to you that you want to achieve in this
lifetime?
What is holding you back?
What could you change that would alter your direction and start moving
you forward?
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 34
What is in your life that is no longer serving you?
What do you need to let go of?
Is there someone in your past that you need to forgive so you can clear
your slate and move forward?
What is your Why? What makes you wake up each morning with a
smile? And if you don’t have a why, why not?
What is your plan? How are you going to get to or achieve your goals?
What do you want people to say about you when you leave this earth?
Do you have a Millionaire Attitude or does it need reactivation? If the
answer to this is No what are you going to do about it?
What excites you?
What is it that you wish you always tried but never had the courage to
have a go?
What is it you have always wanted to learn? Why not learn now?!
Is this the life you saw yourself living when you were a child? If not how
can you get back on the journey that you always dreamed of?
Who did you want to be, and what’s stopping you from achieving it?
Once you really know what you want in life, the rest of this book will help
you with tools, ideas and guidance on how to turn what you want into a
destination and a journey that you are going to be so excited to travel.
But you can’t get started if you do not have a destination.
On the next page you will find your Millionaire Attitude Action Steps to
help you get started.

MILLIONAIRE ATTITUDE ACTION STEPS
#1 Create your own Success Folder if you think that will help you focus
and create a Millionaire Attitude Action Plan for you to follow like I did.
#2 Write down your ‘Why’ and put it somewhere you can read it every
day. When the going gets tough and you feel like giving up, you can
remember why you are creating your success story and it will motivate you
to keep going.
#3 Write down what your perfect day looks like so you know what you
are striving for. [There are questions to help you do this in the Millionaire
Attitude Journal]
#4 Create a vision board [or use your Success Folder] – seriously,
visually having your goals somewhere that you can see it every day opens
up the mind to opportunities, helps you stay focused on your goals and
keeps a positive attitude and mindset for believing that they are achievable.
Remember to reward yourself every time you achieve one of your goals.
This creates a mindset of success that keeps attracting more success your
way.
#5 Do an act of kindness for someone else to help them get to where
they are headed. Helping others has a huge impact on your own personal
success. Plus one act of kindness not only makes you feel good but has a
huge ripple effect on the lives of many. The more you give, the more
rewarding your life and the more opportunities seem to appear…..just
because!
#6 Have a gratitude journal by your bed and write down 5 things you are
grateful for before you go to sleep each night. Gratitude is one of the most
powerful mindset strategies you can implement into your life. The more you
are grateful for what you have the more you seem to attract into your life to
be grateful for.
#7 End the day writing down your top 3 achievements that you
accomplished that day. You go to bed with a positive mindset and wake up
with a Millionaire Attitude the next morning.
#8 Create a Millionaire Attitude Action Plan to help you achieve your
successes including a 4 week, 12 week, 6mth and 12 Month plan.
[Note all of these steps are included in the Millionaire Attitude Journal & Success
Folder]

Chapter 2 | Think Bigger
T=THINK BIGGER
Never give up on an idea just because someone else cannot see
‘your vision’. Just keep looking until you find someone
out there who does! Pam Brossman
Now that you have the tools to get your mindset right I want to focus the
rest of this book on using the Millionaire Attitude in other areas of your life
to start getting results wherever you may need it right now.
In this chapter I want to share with you the power of having the right
attitude to believe in yourself, your ideas and open up opportunities for
success. Basically I want you to start to Think Bigger!
Have you ever heard the saying “Any idea is a great idea”?
Well that is what successful people believe and something you will learn to
believe too with your own ideas as part of activating your Millionaire
Attitude.
Many success stories that you see out there in the world today all started
from a simple idea. We are all born with the ability to create ideas, but
somewhere along the way we stop believing in the vision of our ideas and
just become robots to creating other people’s dreams, goals and ideas.
Now that does not mean that everyone who has an idea becomes a multi-
millionaire or that every idea becomes a success story. But what I want you
to learn is that no idea is ever a bad idea.
Because even when things may not work out as you had planned, that one
idea usually leads to an even better idea that eventually could lead to the
million dollar idea or an idea that saves another person’s life or really
makes a difference in the world.
If you study the stories of successful people you will see a distinct pattern
of failures that eventually lead to a huge success story. I have been
studying successful people for the last 10 years to try and understand how
their mind thinks and what makes them successful vs. those who have not
reached their own personal goals.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 37
The key traits I have found are these:
Self belief
Ability to Think Bigger – have a vision, a purpose, a goal or a
destination
Focus and determination
Never give up mentality – they will persevere at all costs
Most importantly - the ability to learn from their mistakes, dust
themselves off and keep going
Successful people have the ability to look at what didn’t work the first time
and either knows when to shelve it, tweak it or add to it to get their desired
outcome.
Have you ever been told by someone, perhaps a superior, boss or a client
that your idea was stupid, silly, not possible?
And did you walk away from that idea because you thought that they were
probably right? Or that if they could not see what you see, then it must be a
silly idea?
Only to find 6 months later someone else comes up with the same idea and
turns it into a huge success and you forever kick yourself knowing that it
should have been you!
Well don’t feel bad, this happens to 95% of people who are too afraid to
Think Bigger and have a go.
One of my mentors Rich Schefren says “You must be really clear on what it
is you want to achieve”. He calls it ‘Outcome Clarity’. You need to know
Exactly what you want in life
How much you need to have to get what you want
And figure out the fastest and easiest way to achieve it.
Rich taught me that having unclear goals makes it impossible for you to
know what actions will produce the best results.
“If you‘re not crystal clear about what your business success looks
like you’re wasting a massive amount of time daily. Worse, the
chances of success are slim to none” Rich Schefren.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 38
Now I am by no means an expert when it comes to Strategic Profits which
is why Steve and I learn with the best. And there is no smarter person
when it comes to strategically growing a business than Rich Schefren.
If that is the core focus that you want in your life right now then I cannot
recommend Rich highly enough for reaching your business goals the
fastest way with amazing results. He has had a huge impact on my ability
to Think Bigger.
You can get his details in the acknowledgement section at the back of the
book
This chapter is about making you Think Bigger in all areas of your life - but
clarity is key. If you do not know what it is that you want to achieve and how
you plan on achieving it step by step then it does not matter how big you
think; it will always just be wishful thinking.
As Rich said... clearly define
What do you want?
What do you need to do or how much do you need to have to get it?
What is the fastest and easiest way to get there?
Now create a plan and get started.
How we cleared a 30K debt in under 6 months
I will share with you an example, of how we successfully used this strategy
to get ourselves out of a $30,000 credit card debt in under 6 months.
So, following the steps above, this was the result:
Clear our 30K debt without paying any interest in under 6 months
What we need to do is... Pay our living expenses as well as find the
extra monthly repayments to pay our debt off in under 6 months
Fastest way to do it is... Put all our extra money into paying off the credit
card, and not indulge in any other activities for 6 months until it is paid
off
Our plan… Create a budget for us to follow to achieve this goal
This debt was incurred after we lost our home [which you will read
about in another chapter]. Steve’s business had gone quiet and we had
used all our extra funds to repay our debt and acquire our 3 bedroom
unit so there was no spare cash.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 39
We figured out that Steve would have to get a fulltime job to allow us to
have a regular income to clear the debt. [Sometimes you have to make
sacrifices to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As much as Steve did
not want to work for anyone else, he was prepared to do what he had to
do to move us forward].
This is what we did:
We swapped our complete 30K debt over to a 6 month interest free new
card that gave us 6 months to pay it off without incurring any interest.
This was the smartest thing we ever did. Most people fail to pay off their
debt because they are paying mostly interest and can never make a
dent in the initial debt so they just keep incurring more debt.
We changed our loan for the unit to an interest only loan so that we
were only paying the minimum that we had to pay [which was less than
what we would have been paying if we were renting, and why we
bought the unit. It was actually cheaper to pay the mortgage then rent at
that time, plus we had the ability to earn capital gains in the property to
try and get ourselves out of the mess we had incurred when we lost our
million dollar home] We learned later on that this was one of the
smartest decisions we made!
Every extra amount that we had spare after living expenses [which we
cut back to bare minimum], was put into the repayments for the credit
card debt.
It was a struggle, but I was earning some money on eBay and through
some of my products so I was able to add some money to the
repayments while still looking after Hunter as a fulltime Mum.
We paid it off exactly 5 days before our interest free period was over
and never paid one penny in interest to the bank. [Not that they were
happy, but we proved that it could be done. So this should be an
inspiration to anyone who has got themselves into a financial mess]
The reason I shared that story is because I know some of you may have
got yourself in a little bit of financial stress and you may be thinking that
there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
But if you think strategically and put together a plan like Rich Schefren
says, anything is achievable and we are living proof that you can hit rock
bottom and still turn it around and work your way back to the top
You just have to believe in yourself and Think Bigger!

Millionaire Attitude Think Bigger Tip #1
Know your game plan. Be clear about your outcome and destination, what
you need to get it and the steps it will take to do it fast!
Do you think we would be...
Flying around the world in a plane
Walking on the moon
Talking to people on the other side of the world through a cable
Reading 30 books from one hand held device as thin as a notebook - in
colour
If people did not Think Bigger and had not followed their vision?
As in the previous chapter, where some people live their life seeing the
glass half full, successful people who Think Bigger, think outside of the
box, believe in their capabilities and the limitless possibilities that are out
there for them to make a difference.
People like Steve Jobs, the most amazing man, had the ability to Think
Bigger. Everyone of us has it, you just have to see it within yourself,
activate it and get out there and live the vision.
Millionaire Attitude ‘Think Bigger’ Tip #2
Always look at each idea, opportunity, adventure with the attitude of the
endless possibilities out there waiting to be found and you will always be
95% ahead of the next person!
One of my mentors Brendon Burchard calls us ‘creators’. I love that word
as it inspires me to the endless possibilities I have within me to make an
impact on the world and that excites me.
In this chapter I want you to start thinking about the difference your ideas
could make and how you too can start Thinking Bigger and impacting lives.
I personally have come up with many great ideas in my life that have either
moved me forward in my career or that has made a difference to the lives
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 41
of others. But the one I will share with you in this chapter is the one that
nearly got away.
The Idea that nearly cruised away...
After 25 years in the corporate world, and
finally meeting the man of my dreams and
having my son, the thought of going back
to my day job was not that appealing
anymore.
I think the fact that my husband was an
entrepreneur, who used to have his
business meetings down the beach in a
pair of shorts, played a huge part in my decision to leave my corporate life
behind.
Another key reason was deep down I knew I was a ‘creator’ and that my
purpose in this lifetime was to make a difference and I could no longer
tolerate working for those who were living their dream but who would not let
me share my ideas or visions in their business.
You know, we have all heard the same one liner... ‘Sorry I don’t think that
idea is going to work. Or, that’s a great idea but not in our budget, maybe
next year’.
So I made the scariest decision of my life to become an entrepreneur and
take control of mine and my families own financial future. Like so many of
my mentors had done before me.
This is when your ‘Why’ can have a huge impact on your success or
staying power to never give up until you succeed.
To spend the first 5 years with my new born son at home being the driving
force behind my decision, failure was not an option. So I kept going until I
made it work.
After finally finding something I was interested in at a lunch seminar, I
decided my new career as an entrepreneur was going to be in online
marketing. I had a background in visual communications and intranet sites
so this seemed a good fit.
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 42
Even though I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I started out with
what I knew best and that was document design. [This is where the
mindset of ‘every idea is a good idea’ comes into play].
I started out creating personalised journals for people with reasonable
success but they were very labour intensive. Then one day I watched the
movie ‘The Secret’ and came up with an idea to create a Gratitude Journal.
This was a very successful venture but one that sort of petered out as the
movie lost its momentum.
Then I had a go at eBay and did quite well but it was not really my passion I
really wanted to do online marketing and IP marketing whereby you get to
create products from your Intellectual Property [your expertise] and make
money from it over and over again.
So from there I created a journal for women diagnosed with Breast Cancer
to be able to write their journey and called it ‘Your Inspirational Journey’.
This venture was not as successful because I kept giving them away.
Financially my empathy was not making it a viable business model, but I
loved making a difference and it opened my eyes to other ideas which is
what I am trying to teach you. Every idea is a great idea!
Millionaire Attitude ‘Think Bigger’ Tip #3
Your first idea may not be the winning idea, but it just may be the catalyst
that leads to the winning idea or the one that makes the biggest impact!
What I soon realised in a very short period of time was that even though
these ideas and start-up businesses did not make me rich, they taught me:
How to turn an idea into a business
Negotiation skills
How to create my own products
How to do my own accounts and financial records
Build a website
List building
Relationship marketing
How to build a brand
How to sell online – ecommerce

How to master the world of internet marketing including SEO, Article
Marketing, Online Marketing, Affiliate Marketing and more
Brand new skills that I had never even heard of in the corporate world
All while positioning my expertise as a leader in my niche market.
Okay, so you are asking what does this have to do with a cruise?
Eventually my new found skills lead me to the world of Social Media and
this new thing called Video Marketing. Something both my husband, who
was already a very successful entrepreneur and direct response marketer,
and I just fell in love with.
We had recently realised, after reading the book ‘One Minute Millionaire’ by
Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen, that to get to where we wanted to go
we needed to hang out with people who were already where we wanted to
be. So we started investing in our education [more on that in the next
chapter].
We heard about this Millionaire Mindset Cruise from London to Florida and
that we had the opportunity to have our business hot seated on the boat.
Steve and I both knew we had to be on that cruise so we booked our seat
and got really excited about spending 14 days with over 100 likeminded
entrepreneurs wanting to improve their mindset and take their business to
the next level.
Millionaire Attitude ‘Think Bigger’ Tip #4
Always invest in your education if you want to get to where you want to go
faster including hanging out and learning from people who are already
where you want to be!
Video marketing was still very new back in 2009. It had started to take
momentum in the USA which was where I was learning, but in Australia it
was still not a strategy that business owners were willing to implement into
their business.
To cut a long story short, we went on the cruise and it changed our life
forever. But what I want you to take away from the next part of this story is
that even mentors can get it wrong, no matter how good their intention.

Sometimes they too cannot see your vision and so
their advice might not always be the right advice for
you.
Steve and I had put lots of time and thought into our
Video Marketing business plan to take on the boat. We
wanted to make sure we made the most of this hot
seat opportunity that we’d been given.
But when we shared our business idea on the cruise,
our Millionaire hot seat hosts were hesitant to
encourage us to go forward as they did not see what I saw as being a
sustainable business model for the long term and recommended perhaps
we find something else.
Well my heart sank. Not only had I found something that my husband and I
could do together, [this had been my dream for so long, for us to work
together as a team and create a successful business and lifestyle that we
could grow together], but it was something we both just loved to do and
were really, really good at.
This is where my Millionaire Attitude [or stubbornness my husband calls it]
‘self belief’ came into play and I said to Steve, “I don’t agree with their
advice and I think we should go ahead anyway”.
He looked at me and said, “I don’t agree either, let’s do it”. I was so glad I
married a man who was just like me; prepared to take risks, make mistakes
but just have a go and see what happens.
Millionaire Attitude ‘Think Bigger’ Tip #5
If in your heart you have an idea, or something you just know you have to
do because it is right for you, then just do it. Because even though people
may think they have your best interests at heart, it may be the wrong
advice.
I always say... let your instincts be your guide. But also know that if you
cannot live with the worst case scenario, should it not work out, then don’t
do it. That way you have no regrets.

Six weeks after getting off that boat Steve and I ran our very first Video
Marketing workshop in Australia and earned almost my complete full year’s
salary from my previous corporate job in 1 day.
Imagine if we had done what 95% of people do
and canned that idea? Sometimes you just have
to have a go, and if it does not work out, it will still
always, always be a good idea, because as I said
before it may become the catalyst to an even
bigger and better idea that is just waiting to pop
out of your head.
I don’t write the results of our event to brag, I write
that to share with you that we decided to Think
Bigger, have a go against opposing advice and
succeeded. I write it to inspire you to get out there
and have a go with one of your ideas and see what happens.
I believe you can do the same, whether it is financially, for your health, for
your children, for your career - whatever is important to you right now in
your life. You just need to start Thinking Bigger!
These days Steve and I run our own Marketing Cruises to help other
entrepreneurs create their own Millionaire Attitude and put together
their Game Plan for their own business, careers and success stories.
We are still friends with many of the people that we met on that cruise and
have created joint ventures and business opportunities, spoke on each
other’s stages, supported each other’s businesses and celebrated each
other’s successes.
Lots of joint ventures and opportunities
happened on that cruise including the
opportunity for me to be a contributing author to
my very first book
Ms Millionaire by my now dear friend Fiona
Jones and her sister Rebecca Griffin.
If you ever get the opportunity to mastermind
with a group of likeminded people, who have the
right mindset and a Millionaire Attitude like we
did, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Not

only will you make lifelong friendships but you will find a camaraderie of
people who have your best interests at heart and enjoy nothing more than
to see you achieve your goals.
Hopefully we will see you on one of our Marketing Cruises in the not too
distant future!

MILLIONAIRE ATTITUDE ACTION STEPS
You do not have to be an entrepreneur or work for yourself to have a
great idea. I have found some of my greatest ideas were implemented
in my 25 years in corporate [when I got to pitch them to someone who
also saw my vision] and it became a huge leverage tool for advancing
my career
Document your ideas or create an ideas journal because even though
that idea may not be right at this point in time you may find it is perfect a
little further down the track.
Write down a SWOT analysis for those big ideas that you are thinking of
turning into a viable business [Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities &
Threats]. Especially if you need funding or you are pitching it to
someone else.
Check out what your competitors are doing.
Is there someone out there with a similar idea?
Why is yours different?
How can you make it better and add more value?
What is working and what is not working?
How can you be more innovative to take it to a higher level?
What is it that their customers, clients are saying about it [what do they
like what don’t they like that you can add to your own
product/service/expertise?]
Is there a joint venture opportunity?
Keep sharing your ideas until you find someone who sees your vision –
if you feel that strongly about it keep going!
If you need funding speak to your bank, find a joint venture partner or
think about acquiring an Angel investor.
Invest in a mentor, business coach or someone who is where you want
to be and get advice and strategic direction on how to take your idea
from the drawing board into a realistic venture or success story.
Keep creating new ideas. Why? Because as my mentor Brendon
Burchard would say ‘You’re a Creator’. Plus it’s fun!
Most importantly, persevere, tweak, learn, and improve until you get it
right. And if you do end up shelving an idea [and this will happen from
time to time] write down your lessons learned
What worked?
What didn’t work and why?
What could you have done better?
© Pam Brossman | YourMillionaireAttitude.com 48
What could you add to this idea to make it even better?
Or if you have lost the desire to move forward with this idea is
there another company or person who could benefit from your
idea who may pay for your research and knowledge?
Remember ‘every idea is a great idea and even if you no longer want
to pursue it there maybe someone else out there who does’. Think
Bigger!
We are all here to make a difference in our lifetime in some shape or
form. You never know when one of your ideas could
Cure cancer
Prevent global warming
Assist in creating world peace
Provide pain relief
Just make someone smile who may not have done so for a while
Or perhaps just create a great lifestyle for you and your family.
I dedicate this chapter to your next ‘Great Idea’ and to you being able
to Think Bigger and follow your dreams, goals, passions and
purpose.
