3. Make sure your definition is achievable. 

4. Create a plan that is achievable. 

5. Make it a must for you by listing the reasons you must be wealthy. 

6. Finalize your plan and work out the details. 

7. Follow through on your plan by taking immediate action toward its attainment. 

8. Make yourself responsible. Let experts coach you, but don’t abdicate your responsibility. 

9. Don’t give up when the going gets tough. 

10. Make your life a business, and expect a year-end profit. 

11. Don’t let other people’s emotions control or cause you to deviate from your asset allocation. 

12. Get good coaching.

Finally, remember that real wealth comes from an abundance in all areas: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The real key to unlocking wealth is just one thing . . . gratitude. The moment you feel grateful is the moment you feel rich.

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..
