Wealth file #1 Rich people believe "I create my life" Poor people believe "Life happens to me."

You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success. Consciously or unconsciously, it's still you.

Instead of taking responsibility for what's going on in their lives, poor people choose to play the role of the victim.
A victim's predominant thought is often "poor me." So presto. by virtue of the law of intention, that's literally what victims get: they get to be "poor."

That said how can you tell when people are playing the victim?

Victim Clue #1: Blame
Victims blame the economy, they blame the government, they blame the stock market, they blame their broker, they blame their type of business, they blame their manager, they blame the head office, they blame their spouse, they blame God and of course they always blame their parents. It's always someone else or something else that is to blame. The problem is anything or anyone but them.

Victim Clue #2: Justifying
If victims aren't blaming, you'll often find them justifying or rationalizing their situation by saying something like "Money's not really important."

Anyone who says money isn't timportant doesn't have any! Rich people understand the importance of money and the place it has in our society.

Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn't. And although love may make the world go round, it sure doesn't pay for the building of any hospitals, churches, or homes. It also doesn't feed anybody.

Not convinced? Try paying your bills with love. No rich people believe money is not important.

Victim Clue #3 Complaining
What you focus on expands. When you are complaining, what are you focusing on, what right with your life or what's wrong with it, and since what you focus on expands, you'll keep getting more of what's wrong.

Like attracts like, meaning that when you are complaining, you are actually attracting "crap" into your life.

Wealth principle: When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing "crap magnet."

Blame, jusfication, and complaining are like pills. They are nothing more than stress reducers.

From now on, as you hear yourself disastrously blaming, justifying, or complaining, cease and desist immediately. Remind yourself that you are creating your life and that at every moment you will be attracting either success or crap into your life. It is imperative you choose your thoughts and words wisely.

"There is no such thing as a really rich Victim."

Meanwhile, being a victim definitely has its rewards. What do people get out of being a victim? The answer is attention.

It is virtually impossible to be truly happy and successful when you're constantly yearning for attention. Because if it's attention you want, you're at the mercy of others.

When people confuse love and attention, they don't love each other in the true spiritual sense of the world. They love each other largely from the place of their own ego, as in "I love what you do for me."

By disconnecting attention from love, you will be freed up to love another for who they are, rather than what they do for you.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

The Secret to Self-Control

 If you’re overweight, a smoker, or an addict, you’ve been told your entire life that it is because you lack self-control—maybe even that you’re a bad person. The idea that a little bit of discipline would solve all our problems is deeply embedded in our culture. When scientists analyze people who appear to have tremendous self-control, it turns out those individuals aren’t all that different from those who are struggling. Instead, “disciplined” people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and selfcontrol. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations. The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least. It’s easier to practice self-restraint when you don’t have to use it very often. So, yes, perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success, but the way to improve these qualities is not by wishing you were a more disciplined person, but by creating a more disciplined enviro...

WHEN YOU’RE A CLEANER . . . You don’t celebrate your achievements because you always want more.

A Cooler is first to arrive at the celebration and last to leave. A Closer will make an appearance, then go out with his own crew. A Cleaner just wants to get back to work. A Cleaner’s favorite words. There’s always more work to do. And more to prove. Always more to prove. Let everyone else celebrate. You’re still not satisfied. A true Cleaner is at his lowest soon after he reaches his highest. For five minutes, he’s completely exhilarated. For the next twenty-four hours, he’s relatively happy. After that . . . what? Back to work. Everyone else will tell him he did a great job, and he knows it’s true. But their approval means nothing to him because the standards he sets for himself are so much higher than anyone else can possibly set for him. Win or lose, all he thinks about is how he could have done it better or smoother or faster or some way other than how he did it. So the job gets done, but he’s still always thinking about how he could have done more. That’s the relentl...
