Do Rich People and Poor People think Differently?
The old adage that rich people have libraries and poor people have big televisions is an appropriate idle of the difference in the way people think. Have you sat around your house frustrated and exhausted from always robbing Peter to pay Paul. Does it seem like you never get ahead no matter how hard you work? Is living week to week getting old and boring? Not only do you have desire for your life to be better, you want a fantastic, dependable future that will allow you to make headway forever.
If you were able to nod in agreement with any of the statements above then before you continue there are a few questions you need to ask yourself.
If you want to become a millionaire (that's fairly wealthy, wouldn't you say), how do millionaires act? If you want to become a big earner, how do big earners think? If you want to be rich, what is it that differentiates the rich from the poor?
Most people answer these questions something like this:
Millionaires live in big houses and buy luxury cars. Big earners think about how much money they have to spend and where they're going on their next cruise. Rich are different from poor because they have more money. Wrong, wrong and wrong! You Will Never Join the Rich if You Never Know the Rich Let's take this questioning a step further. If you wanted to be a corporate executive, wouldn't you need to know what corporate executives do and what it is that works best for them? If you wanted to be a sky diver, wouldn't it be in your best interest to find out what successful sky divers do and what works for them? If you wanted to ski double-black diamond slopes, will you just head for the slopes one day and jump in with the veterans? Am I making my point?
For all three questions those assumptions are dead wrong.read on!
This article is much too confined to do justice to such as study as this, but let's make a brief, general overview. Hopefully it will create a desire in you to learn more. Just for clarification: we are referring to the rich as those who are wealthy inwardly as well as outwardly. If they lost everything tomorrow, they would have the wherewithal to build it all over again, because it isn't the money, but their mindset.
Let's begin by taking the cue from our title: Wealthy people invest in self-improvement of mind and spirit. Poor people invest in things like big-screen TVs. See how it works? Here are a few more.
Wealthy people are willing to take calculated risks. Poor people want a guarantee (i.e. steady paycheck). They feel that the whole world is out to get them.
Being rich is not just about having money. Let's clarify a little so that we can stimulate the strong desire you will need to actually make it work for you. Being rich is about wealth internally and externally. Wealthy people have the know-how and the resources to lose everything they have and earn it all back without missing a beat. It isn't their money that makes them rich it is the powerful tool of their mind and the way their mind works.
Why do rich people have libraries? That was the first question and the answer is telling of what it means to be rich. Rich people have libraries whereas poor people have big screen TV's because rich people invest in things that improve their life both inwardly and out. Here are a few more examples of the real differences between the rich and the poor.
The rich are wiling and able to take risks that don't involve a guarantee (like a paycheck) They can take these risks because they don't feel intimidated by the rest of the world, whereas many poor people feel the world is out to get them. Wealthy people pioneer their own trail. They don't mind thinking on their own or thinking differently from the mainstream. Poor people generally derive their views from the media or let other people tell them how to think. Wealthy people aren't afraid of bumps in the road because they are solution minded. Poor people crumble at the first sign of trouble unable to make decisions and revert to their self pity attitude. Wealthy people aren't intimidated by extra zeroes in their income level. Poor people think in smaller increments wanting just enough to get by. Wealthy people are decisive and efficient in their decisions. They make decisions based on their future desires. Poor people procrastinate and are waiting for external forces to tell them the right time to move ahead on the road to success.
There is a time for everyone to start a new process of thinking. If these ideas seem new to you, then NOW is your time to make changes that will help you to think and act like a rich/wealthy person. Waste no more time and begin today.
