Do Rich People and Poor People think Differently?

Have you come to the conclusion that now is the time for you to up the ante and play with the big dogs making the real money that would change your life? You are probably sick of earning the simple paycheck that takes you week to week without having any extra left over to do the stuff you really want to do. You are desperate to turn things around for yourself!

If that describes you, there are some questions you will need to face squarely and answer honestly.

If you were to become a wealthy millionaire, would you know how to act like one? How to the really big earners think? What are the big differences between the rich and the poor?

Most people answer these questions something like this:

You think rich people live in fancy houses with luxury cars. You think that big time earners probably only think about how to spend all their money. And you think that the biggest difference between rich and poor people is that rich people have MORE money!

All of these answers and ways of thinking are wrong!

If you can't beat them, join them

Let's begin by taking the cue from our title: Wealthy people invest in self-improvement of mind and spirit. Poor people invest in things like big-screen TVs. See how it works? Here are a few more.

Wealthy people are willing to take calculated risks. Poor people want a guarantee (i.e. steady paycheck). They feel that the whole world is out to get them.

Wealthy people step out of the pack; they are not afraid to work independently. Poor people have a herd mentality; they watch a lot of TV and let the world do their thinking for them.

Wealthy people are solutions-minded; problems are just an annoying bump in the road. Poor people crash at the first sign of a problem - they were sure it wouldn't work all along. The problem proved them right!

Wealthy people are willing to risk while a poor person wants to maintain a simple steady paycheck each week. Poor people would be afraid to take risks because they live in an insecure world. Wealthy people are pioneers and not afraid to forge ahead in independent thought and actions. Poor people tend to think in packs or are equipped with a herd mentality. Poor people allow outside sources to direct their thinking. Wealthy people see problems are ways to find solutions whereas poor people crumble with a bump in the road. The issues poor people face only solidify their fear that nothing would work out anyway. Wealthy people think long term, recognizing and accepting their ability to make extra income whereas poor people think small, in increments trying to always remain safe. Wealthy people don't procrastinate and are equipped to make momentary decisions as needed to further their goals whereas poor people tend to sit back and let things happen.

If you saw yourself in any of the above scenarios then it is time to revamp your thinking and get busy creating your future. Wasting time is not an option.

If these concepts and this way of looking at life are new to you, it's time for you to get busy! Stop wasting time.

As business philosopher Jim Rohn says: "We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life."

Now is the time to design your life.
