Mindset of those who make it
Through your life your mindset will change based on a number of factors, it is critical in business to understand this as it will give you a competitive edge and help you understand people, here are a few examples of how people at different levels of success view things.
Happiness
Rich people believe poverty is the root of all evil
Average people believe money is the root of all evil.
“The average person has been brainwashed to believe rich people are lucky or dishonest. The world class knows that while having money doesn’t guarantee happiness, it does make your life easier and more enjoyable.”
Selfishness
Rich people think selfishness is a virtue
Average people think selfishness is a vice
“The rich go out there and try to make themselves happy. They don’t try to pretend to save the world. If you’re not taking care of you, you’re not in a position to help anyone else. You can’t give what you don’t have.”
Vision
Rich people dream of the future
Average people long for the good old days
“People who believe the best days are behind them rarely get rich, and often struggle with unhappiness and depression. Self-made millionaires get rich because they’re willing to bet on themselves and project their dreams, goals, and ideas into an unknown future.”
Work
Rich people follow their passion
Average people earn money doing things they don’t love
“To the average person, it looks like the rich are working all the time, but one of the smartest strategies of the world class is doing what they love and finding a way to get paid for it.”
Investing
Rich people use other people’s money
Average people believe you need money to make money
“Rich people know not being solvent enough to personally afford something is not relevant. The real question is, “is this worth buying, investing in, or pursuing?”
Friends
Rich people surround themselves with like-minded people
Average People think people are snobs
“[Rich people] can’t afford the messages of doom and gloom. This Is often misinterpreted by the masses as snobbery. Labelling the world class as snobs is another way the middle class finds to feel better about themselves and their chosen path of mediocrity.”
Opportunity
Rich people focus on earing
Average people focus on saving
“The masses are so focused on clipping coupons and living frugally, they miss major opportunities. Even in the midst of a cash flow crisis, the rich reject the nickel and dime thinking of the masses. They are the masters of focusing their mental energy where it belongs; on the big money.”
Expectations
Rich people expect to make more money
Average People expect to struggle
“Don’t listen to the naysayers who tell you that life is supposed to be a struggle and that you should settle and be grateful for what you have.”
Learning
Rich people would rather be educated than entertained
Average people would rather be entertained than educated
“Walk into a wealthy person’s home and one of the first things you’ll see is an extensive library of books they’ve used to educate themselves on how to become more successful. The middle class reads novels, tabloids, and entertainment magazines.”
Markets
Rich people know markets are driven by emotion and greed
Average people think they’re driven by logic and strategy
“The rich know that the primary emotions that drive financial markets are fear and greed, and they factor this into all trades and trends they observe. This knowledge of human nature and its overlapping impact on trading gives them strategic advantage in building greater wealth through leverage.”
Compromise
Rich people know you can have it all
Average people feel pressured to choose family or wealth
“The masses have been brainwashed to believe it’s an either/or equation. The rich know you can have anything you want if you approach the challenge with a mindset rooted in love and abundance.”
