Wealth file #17 Rich people constantly lean and grow. Poor people think the already know

The three most dangerous words in the english language. Those words are "I know that." So how do you know if you know something? Simple. IF you life it, you know it. Otherwise, you heard it, you read about it, or you talk about it, but you don't know it.

Poor people are often. Trying to prove that they're right. "You can be right or you can be rich, but you can't be both."
Being "right" means having to hold on to your old ways of thinking and being.

You can be right or you can be happy.

Jim Rohn uses that makes perfect sense here: "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got."

If a plant isn't growing, it is dying. It's the same with people as well as all other living organisms: If you are not growing, you are dying.

If you're not continously learning, you will be left behind.

Poor people claim they can't afford to get educated due to lack of time or money. On the other hand, rich people relate to benjamin franklin's quote: "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

"Knowledge is power." and power is the ability to act.

I believe a good coach will always ask you more than you will ask of yourself. Otherwise, why do you need one?

Success is a learnable skill. You can learn to succeed at anything. If you want to be a great piano player, you can learn how to do it. If you want to be rich, you can learn how to do it. It doesn't matter where you are right now. It doesn't matter where you are starting from. What matters is that you are willing to learn.

"Every master was once a disaster." -T. Harv Eker

No one comes out of the womb a financial genius. Every rich pesron learned how to succeed at the money game, and so can you. Remember, if they can do it, I can do it.

The fastest way to get rich and stay rich is to work on developing you! The idea is to grow yourself into a "successful" person. Again, your outer world is merely a reflection of your inner world. You are the root; your results are the fruits.

Heed this warning, however. If you don't do the inner work on yourself, and somehow you make a lot of money, it would most likely be a stroke of luck and there's a good chance you'd lose it. But if you become a successful "person" inside and out, you'll not only make it, you'll keep it, grow it, and most important, you'll be truly happy.

Rich people understand the order of success is BE, DO, HAVE.
Poor and middle class people believe the order to success is HAVE, DO, BE

Poor and middle-class people believe "IF I have a lot of money, then I could do what I want and I'd be a success."
Rich People understand, "If I become a successful person, I will be able to do what I need to do to have what I want, including a lot of money."

The goal of creating wealth is not primarily to have a lot of money, the goal of creating wealth is to help you grow yourself into the best peson you can possible be. In fact, that is the goal of all goals, to grow yourself as a person.

Success is not a "what," it's a "who." The good news is that "who" you are is totally trainable and learnable.

To get paid the best, you must be the best.
Rich people not only continue to learn, they make sure they learn from those who have already been where they themselves want to go.

Rich people take advice from people who are richer than they are. Poor people take advice from their friends, who are just as broke as they are.

If you learn from those who are broke, even if they're consultants, coaches, or planners, there's only one thing they can teach you -How to be broke.

Declaration: "I am committed to constantly learning and growing."
Touch your head and say... "I have a millionaire mind."

 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...
