1. Rich People Think “I Create my Life” You’re in control of your life: things don’t happen by chance, they happen by choice. Taking full responsibility for your life is step one towards creating the life you dream of. And when things don’t work out? Don’t blame or criticise others, and don’t justify yourself. Just learn from it, keep on pushin’ ahead, and do better next time. 2. Rich People Play the Money Game to Win If your aim is to “be comfortable financially”, you’re unlikely to ever be rich. You have to aim to be rich to become rich. 3. Rich People Are Committed to Being Rich If you wish to be rich, or you’d like to be rich… That’s not enough. You have to *commit* to being rich. The moment it’s absolutely clear in your mind that you’ll create exceptional wealth, the universe will conspire to help you. 4. Rich People Think Big How do you want to live your life? Do you want to play in the little leagues, in the minors or in the major leagues? It’s your choice. I wholeheartedly believe that we can accomplish anything we can envision. But if you think small… You’ll accomplish small. Think big my friend. It’s more fun, and it opens you up to a world of infinite possibilities. If you want to get better at this, I encourage you to read The Magic of Thinking Big 5. Rich People Focus on Opportunities Most things that happen to us can be seen as either opportunity or as an obstacle. It depends on what we focus on. Rich people choose to see everything as a blessing, as a stepping stone for something greater. What’s your outlook on things? Do you focus on finding opportunities or do you only see the risks & obstacles? 6. Rich People Admire Other Rich & Successful People When you see a rich person, do you get jealous? Is there a point of resentment when you say “Check out that guy’s house/car?” If you associate these negative feelings to wealth, you’re not likely to amass it yourself. You have to associate positive feelings to wealth if you want to create it in your life. These people were the architect of their wealth, and that’s worthy of our respect. Plus… when’s the last time jealousy got you anywhere? 7. Rich People Associate with Positive, Successful People Modelling is one of the primary ways we learn. If you associate with positive & successful people, not only can you learn from them, but you’ll also start to think… “if they can do it, why can’t I?” 8. Rich People Are Willing to Promote Themselves & Their Value Many of us have been conditioned to think that promoting ourselves is boastful and to be avoided. But the reality is that most rich people are excellent promoters. They know how to promote themselves, their ideas and their products with enthusiasm. Note: In 2008, Tim Ferriss was named by Wired.com as The Greatest Self-Promoter of All-Time 9. Rich People Are Bigger Than Their Problems Everyone has problems. Things won’t always your way, no matter who you are. But it’s how you react to your problems that defines you. When you face a problem, do you run away and give up? Or do you put your head down and find a solution? The answer to these questions will go a long way towards determining the kind of life you’ll live. 10. Rich People Are Excellent Receivers To earn large sums of money for your work & products, you must feel worthy of receiving large sums of money. Here’s a great practice for improving your receiving skills: when someone offers you compliment, simply say accept and thanks. Don’t look for something to compliment the other person with.
