When he moved to California, he wanted to build
his own agricultural empire.
He bought huge tracts of land, 12,000 head of
cattle, and got started building his empire.
Then something terrible happened...
While building a sawmill for his ranch, one
of Sutter's workers saw a glint of something
shiny.
He picked it up...and it was gold!
You'd think Sutter would be happy about this, right?
Nope. The gold just got in the way of his dream of
building his farming empire.
He covered up the discovery.
But another man heard the rumors of gold, and decided
to make his fortune.
Sam Brennan became the richest man in California...
Without finding a single gold nugget!
He spread the news about the gold rush and people
came running.
But not before he bought up every pickaxe, pan, and
shovel in the state.
He had the monopoly and he knew it.
He made $36,000 in nine weeks...and he did it without
finding any gold!
So what happened to Sutter?
Well, the man who had the best chance to make it
rich on gold...never took it.
He stuck to his vision of farms and fields and
cattle and refused to budge.
And the 49-ers trampled all over his crops and fields,
leaving him in ruins.
He left California in 1949, broke and disillusioned.
Two men during the Gold Rush...neither of them mined
for gold.
One became a millionaire...and the other ended up broke.
One had the motivation and the mindset to succeed in any
conditions...
And the other was stuck in the past, unable to adapt and change.
So which gold miner are you?
Are you the person who sees an opportunity and decides to pass,
thinking that you'll get farther if you just "stick to the plan"?
Are you the average guy with a pan and a shovel, digging
in the mud and working hard day after day, in the hopes that one
day you'll "get lucky" and strike it rich?
Or are you the one coming out on top, because you know how to
think outside the box...because you know that you
have what it takes to succeed and attract unprecedented levels
of success?
It all depends on your mindset.
And when you change your mindset, amazing things can happen.
So don't wait to just "get lucky" and strike gold (or win the lottery)...and don't let an opportunity pass you by.
Take control of your destiny and manifest what YOU want.
