Wealth File #7 Rich people associate with positive and successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.

Successful people look at other successful people as a means to motivate themselves. They see other successful people as models to learn from. They say to themselves, "If they can do it, I can too."

Rich people are grateful that others have succeeded before them, so that they now have a blueprint that follow that will make it easier to attain their own success. Why reinvent the wheel? There are proven methods for success that work for virtually everyone who applies them.

The fastest and easiest way to create wealth is to learn exactly how rich people, who are masters of money, play the game. The goal is to simply model their inner and outer strategies.

If you take the exact same actions and have the exact same mind-set, chances are good you will get the exact same results. That's what I did and that's what this entire book is about.

Also remember "nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it."

I want you to practice reframing other people's negativity as a reminder of how not to be. The more negative they are the more reminders you have about how ugly that way of being really is. I'm not suggesting you tell them this. Just do it, without condemning them for how they are. For if you do begin to judge, criticize, and put them down for who they are and what they do, then you are no better than them.

Worse comes to worst, if you just can't handle their non-supportive energy anymore, if it's bringing you down to a point where you're not able to grow, you may have to make some courageous decisions about who you are how you want to live the rest of your life.

I for would never live with a person who was negative and pooh-poohed my desire to learn and grow, be it personally, spiritually, or financially. I woudn't do that to myself. Because I respect myself and my life and I deserve to be as happy and successful as possible. The way I figure it, there are over 6.3 billion people in the world and there's no way I'm going to saddle myself with a downer. Either they move up or I move on!

Again, energy is contagious: either you affect people or infect people. The same holds true the opposite way around; either people affect or infect you.

Rich people don't just join the country club to play golf; they join to connect with other rich and successful people.

There's another saying that goes "It's not what you know, it's who you know." In short, "If you want to fly with the eagles, don't swim with the ducks!"

Rich people hang around winners. Poor people hang around with losers. Why? It's a matter of comfort. Rich people are comfortable with other successful people. They feel fully worthy of being with them. Poor people, are uncomfortable with highly successful people. They're either afraid they'll be rejected or feel as if they don't belong. To protect, itself, the ego then goes into judgment and criticism.

Instead of mocking rich people, model them. Instead of shying away from rich people, get to know them. Instead of saying, "Wow, they're so special," say, "If they can do it, I can do it."
