1- poor people watch Tv , rich people read books. how many hours you spend in front of Tv , and when was the last time you read a book? How many books do you read per year?
2-poor people get paid based on time , rich people get paid on results.
Let’s say you’re working at McDonalds , you may be the best floor cleaner on the planet ever , but what value do you bring to McDonald? Rich people , get paid on results , not time invested. Let’s say we’re working on a product, we spent a year creating perfecting the product , we bring it to the marketplace, and it sucks , it bombs, it doesn’t make us a dime. We don’t make money.Nobody cares how much time, blood , sweat, and tears we’re put into creating a product and bring it to the marketplace. How much risk that we take , they dont care . What they care is result . That’s why the highest paid athletes in the world, they don’t get paid by how many hours they practice, how many time they invested , no , it is how much they perform. They get paid based on performance.
3- poor people they blame the others for their misfortunes , rich people we take responsibility for our own failures. You see poor people it’s always somebody else’s fault. It’s the economy, it’s the government , it’s my boss , it’s my job , it’s my city, it’s my neighbor, it’s my friend, its always somebody else , it’s never their own fault . Rich people take responsibility , if your life stinks it’s your fault.
When you take responsibility what happens is you gain power. The power to change . The power to do something different. Remember, lame people blame people.
4- poor people focus on saving, rich people focus on investing. You know what , don’t drink that Starbucks coffee in the morning, try to save a few dollars in here and there . Don’t fly first class fly economy. Well here’s a thing , A penny saved is still a fucking penny . You’re not get rich by trying to save a few bucks . You dont have a saving problem, you have an income problem. You need to earn a lot more money, so you could invest.
5- poor people , they know it all. Rich people , continuously to learn. You see poor people are always very opinionated. They always want to tell the world about their options, about politics, about sports, about the society, about every single thing that’s around them . Versus being humble , willing to learn . Rich people are always learning. We’re asking questions, we are listening, qe are reading books , continues learning. Versus saying I’ve got an option about everything. You know why they always have an opinion poor people ? Because the only way to get little bit of attention. Remember your income can only grow to the extent that you do. Your wealth can only grow as fast as you do.
6- poor people believe that money is the root of all evil. Rich people believe that poverty is the root of all evil. No , lack of money is the root of all evil . I want you to look at the poorest neighborhoods. I want you to think about those areas. Crime , drugs , problems, all kind of issues. You see in the history of mankind , no banks been robbed by someone pulling up in a Rolls-Royce . It’s the survival, its the lack of money, thats causing the issue . Money itself is neutral. Money is like a tool , you can use it for good , or you can use it for evil. It is all up to you .
7- poor people have lottery mentality, rich people have action mentality . You see most people they believe the only way to get rich is to buy that lottery ticket . Even though they know that the chance of winning is slim to none , but they buy that fantasy. Hopefully if i win I’m gonna buy that house , I’m gonna quit that job , I’m gonna take the vacation. No , rich people have a action mentality. We believe if it’s going to be it is up to me . I’m gonna make it happen , I’m gonna make myself successful , I don’t need to rely on some third party , and I definitely dont need to rely on some lottery ticket. Im gonna make it happen ,,,
