Would you bet on a 714 to 1 horse?
Well only if you were drunk and having a laugh… As no one in their right mind would ever put a serious stake on something with those odds… Right?
Well did you know that statistically the chance of YOU ever getting to be worth just $1,000,000 in your entire life is 714 to 1.
Shocking, yes? Don’t believe me? Doesn’t surprise me, as why continue if the odds are that bad, why not give up now…
You want proof… Easy, go and work the maths out for yourself on Wikipedia/Millionaires
You’ll see that on there in the world’s 13 richest countries there are only 7,961,635 millionaires… And on the entire planet of nearly 7 billion people there are only around 10 million, millionaires…
So the odds of you EVER becoming one of them are 714 to 1
But do you realise what this means?
Everything you are doing, every business deal you make, every book you read has less than a 714 chance of making it happen for you. That’s everything… From this second on…
Something to think about… You now know that the odds of your success are punishingly low…
So low in fact that if there wasn’t a solution then what would be the point of trying. So what does this conclude?
That the system people are using to try and create success…
DOES NOT WORK!
Guess what, it never has. The people who succeed slip through, and they themselves don’t even know how they managed to slip through. They just did.
The system the world has set up for success, fails all the time. Or rather it fails 713/714 times. Yet we keep doing it that way. Why? Because no one has fixed it. In fact because no one even realises it’s broken!
Did you know that close on half a billion people have read the best books ever written on personal development and watched the film The Secret. Then when you add in EVERY book ever written on the subject of personal development, there’s well over a billion books out there which teach success. Probably far more than that… But…
Where are all the millionaires?
The question the whole world of Personal Development should be asking is… where are all the millionaires? It doesn’t work, the way they have told you to do it, doesn’t work. You keep doing it that way because you think the odds of success are probably 1 in 100, but the truth is it’s 1 in 714….
No sane person on Earth would seriously make a bet with those odds…. So that means you are either insane, or ignorant to how low the chances of your success actually are. So 99.86% people on Earth are doing exactly that.
World English Dictionary

~ Relatively permanent disorder of the mind; state or condition of being insane ~ / ~ a defect of reason as a result of mental illness, such that a defendant does not know what he or she is doing or that it is wrong ~ / ~ utter folly: stupidity
~ lack of knowledge, information, or education; the state of being ignorant ~
You can decide which is appropriate
We all like to think we are not ignorant, and we all like to think we are sane… Yet at 714 – 1 what other explanation is there?
So why do we do it, we didn’t realise that it was that much of a long shot. But we already knew it was a long shot!
We do it because we are taught to ‘hope.’ To ‘hope’ it will work out. We ‘hope’ we will make it! We are trained to use the word hope and the state of mind which is ‘hoping’ so that we don’t have to take responsibility. When we ask difficult questions, the adults of the would just teach us to ‘hope’ and say stupid things like, ‘well it worked for him!’
Without knowing they are simply trapped in the same delusion of mind that the person who seeking their guidance is striving to break free from. As they dismiss the question they weaken their odds and the odds of the person who chose poor judgement in asking them for advice.
We are ‘hoping’ our minds will somehow fix it for us so that we don’t have to think about it. We are ‘hoping’ we won’t have to face the truth… Which is that basically with 714 to 1 odds, we’re pretty much screwed.
But they/you are betting your entire life on a 714 to 1 long shot!
It really sucks doesn’t it? Aren’t you fed up with doing the same thing and getting the same result? But hey, what do you do… You gotta keep going right, after all that’s what they tell you!
Ok, well on that inspiring note, are you ready to get back to watching the race… Sorry I mean living the life of your dreams! You can have it after all, you just gotta be the one in 714 who beats the odds!
Not so simple now though, now you know what you’re up against… Watch how you think as you go about today, and see how differently your world starts to look with the knowledge that you only have a 1 in 714 chance of becoming a success!
And if you’re wondering why you haven’t found this out before. It is because, no one’s bothered to look… and if someone did look, they wouldn’t tell you, because you can’t handle the truth and they don’t have the solution. So they can’t tell you it’s broken, because you’ll demand that someone fixes it…
So where are you now?
Well now you know the truth, you have a 714-1 chance of making a success and that’s worth thinking about…
On thursday I will explain why if you are not already that 714th person how you never will be, and that’s the bad news!
The good news is… I’ll explain how to quickly and easily shorten the odds, so much so that it actually makes it certain that you are the 714th person. Yes I really do have the solution, even though I wouldn’t blame you for not believing me.
But you have a choice, you always do… Carry on with the 714-1 plan or read what I have to say,
See you tomorrow then
Andy

Hey Andy
To the point and right smack bang on the money. (Frank Wallace new all this)
I’m so excited my bug free books have arrived. I have my golden hardback notebook already stuffed about 30 pages full and I have managed 15 seconds. Got my list and today did my 15… next its Satori.
THe pages I have read are highlighted and scribbled all over and its MY book.
I’ve read so many PD books BUT so so far (45 pages in) yours is on the case.
Every day I look forward to opening the cover.
Thanks and hopefully thanks a MILLION.
Cheers
Courtney
A friend yesterday who missed out on buying a set last time said he had someone to stay who had a set. He said, that he wouldn’t even let me borrow them, that they were HIS books and he carried them around with him.
I liken the experience with reading my books to visiting Las Vegas for the first time… You’ve heard all the hyped up marketing and everyone saying they’re good… But until you see it for yourself, you have no idea
Thanks again for letting me know, any questions or further clarification please just ask,
Best wishes
Andy
Looking forward to hearing about shortening the odds, Andy, as 714th sounds a lot better than the other 713!!
Angus if I have my way, then those awful stats will be shortening for all. But for now I can only work with the ones who have come into contact with me,
Best wishes

Andy,
Hope you get this comment this time !
Thanks for this next week,I plan to take a few days off being half term and also as I want to revisit my designs and check on my follow through.
This year as a result of ABFM, I am sleeping better getting down the gym more and feeling that I can deliver. I just wonder how long it will take to come up with the key ingredients to deliver on my designs? What I mean is I don’t want to flog myself like I did last year, I just need to work alot smarter. Can you give me some pointers?
Best Regards Charlie.
Hi Charlie
The key element to success is to go through the design process. This takes a while, but then spending 20 hours or so designing how you want your ideal life to be and day dreaming about how good it is really isn’t work… It’s totally self indulgent time.
This process will reveal to you exactly what you want, virtually no one on Earth knows the answer to this and when you have that answer, you can now just work out possible ways to get there.
Once your mind has understood that it is possible for you to get there, then you just focus on seeing it having happened until you reach a mental state where it is impossible for it not to happen. Meanwhile outside of the visualising world, you take the appropriate steps in the direction to get to the first conceptualised point.
All the time remembering that it’s happening now, and all you have to do is allow it to happen and work on the step where you are. If at any time you start to doubt it then it is purely because you have not conceived how you could do some part. Figure that out and go back to the finished design and study it again until it becomes a certainty once more.
Always remember no thought stands still, so if its not helping you, its hurting you.
Do all that and you are certain to succeed
Best wishes
Andy
From Zero to Hero..
I think your premise is flawed – from the fact that there are 10 million millionaires on the planet in a population of 7 billion it does not follow that the probability of YOU becoming a millionaire is 1 in 714 (I don’t think you really mean 714 to 1 !!!!)
Thats like saying that 1 in every 7 people have blue eyes so the odds of you having blue eyes is one in 7.
Hi Jo,
Don’t really know what you mean.
7 billion divided by 10 million = 700 So on that rougher than rough calculation it is one person in 700 becomes a millionaure?
Best wishes
Andy
