Many think that what differentiates the rich from the poor is that the rich simply have more money. But that's indeed very wrong. As What actually separates this two groups of people is actually their mentality. Having more or less money is simply one of the consequences of their mentality.

Having the wrong mentality is the worst thing that can happen to someone, it doesn't only make you poor but it as well makes your life miserable.
Please don't misquote me when I use the word poor, because I'm not referring to those with little or no money, but to those with the wrong mentality.
So literally speaking a man may think he's rich just because he have a lot of money in his bank account but in the real sense he's been rated as poor. And whereas a man who is considered to be poor simply because he have no money can turn out to be the one who's actually rich.
So now how do we know who's really poor?
Poor people always focus on the wrong side of the story.
No path ever seems right to them. Offer them something for free and they'll think it's a trap. Tell them to set up a small business that requires less capital, they will say they can't earn much from it. Ok tell them to make a big investment then, they will say that they don't have enough money.
Tell them to try a new thing, and they'll say that they don't have the experience. Tell them it's a traditional business and they will say it's too difficult to run and that the competition is too strong. Tell them it's a new business model then, they'll say it's a scam!
Ok! Tell them to run a shop at least, they'll say that they will have to work 24/7 and that they won't have any freedom.
But they all have some things in common.
They love asking Google how to get rich fast.
Well there isn't a problem with that, if only they are willing to do something online like, starting a blogging career, becoming an affiliate marketer, running a YouTube channel or even starting a fun career in wonderful platform like steemit and earn for doing almost nothing.
But that's not it! they are not willing to do anything. They are rather looking for ways to make quick money for free without any work or investment.
But do such a things exist? I don't think so! Because I was once like that. Before deciding to settle as an Adsense and affiliate blogger and finally a Steemit blogger, I use to surf the web looking for free money, but i didn't find any. Well if you're like that I'll advice you forget about that and find something else doing, preferably focus on Steemit and you'll thank me later for the advice🤔.
They want to see others fail.

The rich are selfless in their actions and love to help others achieve success. But the poor gets angry when they see someone making it, they are selfish and don't want to see someone else's success apart. So instead of thinking of ideas that will make them successful, they will rather waste the time gossiping.
If you find yourself in this category I'll advice you change for the betterment. There's a saying that
You can't drag a goat to the market without entering the market as well.
The same applies for success and failure as you can't make someone fail without failing.
The poor don't set goals.

The rich knows what they want, they set goals and lay plans to achieve their goals. But the poor don't. instead they fantasize, dream big of what their future should be like but they have no plan(s) to make it come true.
They do have great ideas, they think more than a university lecturer but do less than a blind man.
They focus on input instead of output.

Poor people tend to stress their self out over a simple task that would have be completed with no stress over a short period of time if being done with the right strategy.
A poor man will think that they deserve a higher pay just because they have the over 10 years to attain the highest degree, and best grade from the best university. And because they spent they spent their whole day working on a task that was assigned to them. But in a true sense they are only workaholics who use up the time of the day.
Now tell me. Will you buy my product just because I spent two years producing it? Will you use upvote my post just because I spent a week creating it? Will you patronize me just now I've been in the business for years? Of course not! You'll only patronize my stuff's if you find some quality in it.
