Wealth File #5 Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacle.

Poor people makes choices based upon fear. Their minds are constantly scanning for what is wrong or could go wrong in any situation. Their primary mindset is "What if it doesn't work? or, more often, "It won't work."

Middle class people are slightly more optimistice. Their mindset is "I sure hope this works."

Rich people expect to succeed. They have confidence in their abilities, they have confidence in their creativity, and they believe that should the doo-doo hit the fan, they can find another way to succeed.

Rich people are willing to take a risk. Rich people believe that, if worse comes to worst, they can always make their money back.

Poor people, on the other hand, expect to fail. They lack confidence in themselves and in their abilities. Poor people believe that should things not work out, it would be catastrophic. And because they constantly see obstacles, they are usually unwilling to take risk. No risk, no reward.

Rich people take educated risks. This means that they research, do their due diligence, and make decisions based on solid information and facts.

No luck or anything else worhwhile will come your way unless you take some form of action to succeed financially, you have to do something, buy something, or start something. And when you do it, is it luck or is it the universe or a higher power suopporting you in its miraculous ways for having the courage and commitment to go for it.

Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don't want. Again, the universal law states, "what you focus on expands."

Focus on opportunities and that's what you find. Focus on obstacles and that's what you find. I'm not saying that you don't take care of problems. Of course, handle problems as they arise, in the present. But keep your eye on your goal, keep moving forward your target. Put your time and energy into creating what you want. When obstacles arise, handle them, then quickly refocus on your vision. You don't spend all your times fighting fires. Those who do, move backwards! you spend your time and energy in thought and deed, moving steadily forward, toward your goal.

It's delusional to believe youcan prepare for every circumstance that might someday occur and protect yourself from it.

Life doesn't travel in perfectly straight lines. It moves more like a winding river. More often than not, you can only see to the next bend, and only when you reach that next turn can you see more.

If you really want to learn a business, get into it. You don't have to own the darn thing from day one. Get in the corridor by getting a job in the arena. You'll learn more by sweeping up a restaurant and washing dishes than by ten years of research from the outside.

Being in the "corridor" means entering the arena where you want to be in the future, in any capacity, to get started.This is far and away the best way to learn about a business, because you see it from the inside. Second, you can make the contacts you need, which you could never have made from the outside. Third, once you're in the corridor, many other doors of opportunity may open to you. That is, once you witness what's really going on, you may discover a niche for yourself that you hadn't recognize before. Fourth, you may find that you don't really like this field, and thank goodness you found out before you got in too deep!

"Action always beats inaction." Rich people get started. They always trust that once they get in the game, they can make intelligent decisions in the present moment, make corrections, and adjust their sails along the way.

Poor people don't trust in themselves or their abilities, so they believe they have to know everything in advance, which is virtually impossible.

In the end, with their positibe, "ready, fire, aim," attitude, rich people take action and usually win.

Rich people see an opportunitym jump on it, abd get even richer. As for poor people? They're still "preparing!"

Declarations: "I focus on opportunities over obstacles.""I get ready, I fire, I aim!"

 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage. They employ other people to work for them and their money to work for them. You do have to work hard for money. For rich people, however, this is a temporary situation. For poor people, it's permanent.. Rich people understand that "you" have to work hard until your "money" works hard enough to take your place they understand  the more your money works, the less you will have to work. To win the money game, the goal is to earn enough passive income to pay for your desired lifestyle. In short, you become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses. Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications. To in...
