Everything begins with what you think about it, even money and financial success or failure.
Success leaves clues.
Rich people think differently about many things than poor people.
That is why even people who are born into poverty but who have a "rich" mentality will end up being rich in life.
(And yes, I know there are other ways to have a fulfilling and "rich" life but for the purpose of this article, we are speaking in terms of money and finances. )
Here are some clues that could help you change your mindset so that you can have a "rich person" mentality.
- Rich people think that THEY create their life, poor people think that life happens to them.
- Rich people play the money game to WIN, poor people play the money game to lose.
- Rich people are committed to being RICH, poor people want to be rich.
- Rich people think Big, poor people think small.
- Rich people focus on Opportunity, poor people focus on obstacles.
- Rich people admire other rich and successful people, poor people resent successful rich people.
- Rich people associate with positive successful people, poor people associate with negative people.
- Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their values, poor people don’t.
- Rich people are bigger than their problems, poor people are smaller than their problems.
- Rich people are excellent receivers, poor people are poor receivers.
- Rich people choose to get paid based on results, poor people choose to get paid based on time.
- Rich people think BOTH or ALL, poor people think either this /or that.
- Rich people focus on their Net Worth, poor people focus on their working income.
- Rich people manage their money well, poor people mismanage their money well.
- Rich people have their money work hard for them, poor people work hard for their money.
- Rich people act in spite of fear, poor people let fear stop them.
- Rich people constantly grow, poor people think they “know it all”.
Do you even know what Net Worth is or how to calculate it?
Do you know what YOUR net worth is right now?
I'll help you with that. Your Net Worth is your total personal assets less your total personal liabilities. Your home, cars, stocks, money in the bank, etc are assets. Debts you owe, loans, etc. are liabilities. (Your monthly bills are not liabilities, just the total balance due on all debt.)
If you own more assets than you have debt then you have a positive Net Worth.
To be classified as a millionaire, your Net Worth has to be positive $1 million or more.
