#1 Want to be rich?
Let’s just get this out of the way. Don’t read this blog unless you are serious about making and saving money.
It will just be a waste of your time. You’ll vow for the millionth time that you are going to be rich and then pretend to yourself that you are going to start taking my advice, and it may even last for a day or two, but then you’ll forget about it and not have the time and the excuses just go on forever.
If you’re serious, let’s get started.
First of all, this site is completely free. I’m never going to charge you a nickel so if you’ve been holding your breath the whole time, you can exhale.
Secondly, you have to know right off the bat money doesn’t just fly into your pocket. It sure seems like it for some people right?
Yeah, but those people worked hard before that first dollar ever left the ground.
Hieresses and lottery winners don’t count for this. Because most of us don’t have the luck of a four leaf clover or parents that owned a huge hotel chain.
What I am about to do next is list what makes rich people rich. This is generally speaking, of course, so absorb what I am saying instead of trying to find flaws and exceptions to it.
Rich people have several qualities that make them rich. If you want to be rich, you should start taking a look at these.
Rich people are :
1. Determined. Do you think rich people give up because someone told them no? Hell no, they keep working until they hear yes. Put another way, rich people find a way to make something work. Poor people get muddled down in excuses and don’t get the job done. Bottomline.
2. Ambitious. Rich people are driven to be rich. Poor people are satisfied with making $300 - $400/week.
3. Independent. Rich people don’t work for a boss. They work for themselves. When is the last time (outside of sports) you saw a millionaire taking orders. So if your working for someone else, you can only get so far. Why have you waited 10 years for a promotion? Why don’t you promote yourself to the boss of your company?
4. Willing to take risks. I’m not talking about spinning the roulette wheel here. Rich people are willing to invest in themselves or something they believe in to make money. Do you think millionaires become millionaires by working the 9-5 shift everyday for $11.00? No, they invest their money, also known as, risking it.
5. Leaders. Somewhere along the way, to be rich, you need to take control. No one is going to hand you piles of cash. You have to take charge and go get it.
6. Frugal. Or thrifty, whatever word you want to use. That’s right. Rich people watch what they spend their money on. Poor people are the ones that throw away their money on junk. That’s one of the underlying reasons why tons of lottery winners go back to being broke soon after they hit the jackpot. They just don’t know how to hold onto their money.
7. Recipients. Rich people take in money very well. Poor people don’t. Poor people find a way to deflect money away from them. Rich people find a way to have mulitple income streams and receive money.
Rich people also:
8. Think big. Millionaires aren’t trying to manage a restaurant, they want to hire someone to manage the restaurant while they own the chain.
9. Hang out with rich people. This isn’t because poor people aren’t decent human beings. This is because rich people think like other rich people. You are a product of your surroundings, if you hang out with all poor people, you will be poor.
10. Don’t see money as a negative. This may sound surprising, but many people that you know probably see money as a negative. “Rich people are unhappy.” “Rich people are evil.” These are just catch phrases poor people use because they aren’t rich. Don’t see money as a bad thing. Money is a good thing. Once you start accepting money as a positive and valuing it as a precious resource, then you can start your ascent towards being rich. Money can help you achieve many wonderful things - not just materialistic things, but the ability to help others out.
