Being rich has little to do with the
money itself.
Instead, it has a lot to do with how you think about money.
Instead, it has a lot to do with how you think about money.
So if you want to become rich, one
of the first steps is to know how the wealthy think about money differently
than you do and to start thinking like them.
The next step is to take action, and
to let the action become natural by thinking the way wealthy people think.

Success Habits of the Rich ….
- The average person thinks about spending their money, while the rich think about how to invest their money.
- The average person worries about running out of money while the rich think about how to use their money to make more money.
- Most people believe hard work makes you rich, while the rich know that leverage creates wealth.
- Successful people don’t procrastinate.
They don’t spend their life waiting for the ‘right time’ or waiting until they know it all or have figured everything out. - The average person believes having a job gives them
security.
The Rich know there’s no such thing as “job security.” - Most people “want to be rich. The Rich are committed to being Rich. (They are very different things.)
- When things go wrong, the Rich find a lesson, while others only see a problem.
- The average person sets their financial
expectation low, so they’re never disappointed.
On the other hand, the Rich set their financial expectations high so they’re always excited. - Successful people take calculated risks – financial, emotional, professional, and psychological. But once they’ve built their wealth they take fewer risks.
- The Rich consciously and methodically create their own success, while others hope success will find them.
- The Rich look for and find opportunities where others see obstacles.
- The average person believe life happens to them.
They are a passenger, while the Rich believe that they create their own destiny.
They are the pilot of their lives. - Successful people align themselves with like-minded
people.
They understand the importance of being part of a team.
They create win-win relationships. - The poor believe money will make them happier, while the Rich know that money has little to do with happiness, but it does make your life easier and more enjoyable.
- The Rich don’t blame (what’s the point?).
They take responsibility for their actions and outcomes (or lack thereof).
They know there is no such thing as a rich victim. - The poor believe it’s wrong for a small group of people
(the 1%) to possess most of the money.
The Rich welcomes the masses (the 99%) to join them. - Successful people are not necessarily more talented
than the majority, yet they always find a way to maximize their potential.
They get more out of themselves. They use what they have more effectively. - The poor believe they must choose between a great family life and being poor, or love and being poor. The Rich know they can have it all.
- Successful people are solution focused, rather than looking for problems or obstacles.
- Successful people are fearful like everyone else, but they are not controlled or limited by fear. They use it to empower themselves.
- Successful people get up early.
They know there’s no shortcut so they work hard until they’ve accumulated a big enough asset base (created their own cash machine) so they too have to work hard any more.
Now before you get too offended…
I’m not making a judgment when I say
rich people or poor people – they are terms I use to help clarify the different
ways of thinking that 1% of humans exhibit from the majority of the population.
