You are what you are because of your own doing — this is what Million Dollar Habit by Brian Tracy primarily teaches readers. Nothing ever happens by accident or destiny. Your predicament, financial ranking, social status, and personalities are all defined by your choices. So if you want to become successful, you must take an active and conscious effort to get there, like all the other Millionaires who started from scratch.
But you may ask, where do you start? Author Tracy takes a step-by-step guide on developing a set of habits to begin your journey to financial independence. He provides all the essential theories, strategies, tips and explanations behind every Millionaire success story, and encourages readers to put it into practice.
Early on the book, Tracy discusses that raising your self-concept is important in achieving your fullest potential. The first component of the self-concept is the self-idea, which are your goals, dreams, and hopes about your future self. The second part is your self-image, which is how you see yourself in the present situation. The third component is self-esteem, which is the measure of how much you like yourself. The greater your perception is in these three components, the easier it is for you to adopt the Million Dollar Habits.
