17 Ways Rich People Think Differently from Poor People…


Now let’s get down to doing something differently. What I tell myself all the time is that my mentors such as Richard Branson and Will Smith do not have two heads. Yes one is White and the other is Black, so as its possible for the White person, so is it for the Black. I am encouraged.

I have often wondered what made the rich different from the poor, in-spite of the fact that both categories of people live on mother earth. What marks them out? What is it they engage in that the poor do not? I am fascinated. I have always been. Now I have an opportunity to share with you on this blog a few of the things, 17 of them in fact, compiled by a brilliant writer by the name of T. Harv Eker, in his book “The Millionaire Mind” .

It’s a book I recommend.

So, you no longer have any excuse not to tap that untapped talent within you. It was WILL SMITH that said “I want to be good. I want the World to be a better place because I am here”….Hmmmnnn (that touched me a great deal)

Then RICHARD BRANSON went on to say that “well, I’m somebody who is just living…living life, and if I get frustrated by something, then I like to try to put it right”.…Wow….Wow…Wow.

Now you know why I have switched gear, and doing what I am doing. I have chosen no longer to moan, complain and join the mob. I have chosen to influence, to encourage and inspire you to be the best God had intended you to be.

So why not go on and ask your self these 4 compelling questions (thanks to http://bizsetup.wordpress.com);

  1. Do you consistently earn large amounts or small amounts of money?
  2. Is your income consistent or inconsistent?
  3. Do you struggle for money or does money come easily?
  4. When you have money, are you an investor or a spender?
  5. What’s the highest amount your mind has ever let you earn?

So here they are below, T. Harv Eker’s electrifying 17 posers. Read on and be challenged.

  1. Rich people believe “I create my life.” Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”
  2. Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.
  3. Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.
  4. Rich people think big. Poor people think small.
  5. Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.
  6. Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people.
  7. Rich people associate with positive, successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.
  8. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value. Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.
  9. Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems.
  10. Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are poor receivers.
  11. Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.
  12. Rich people think “both.” Poor people think “either/or.”
  13. Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people focus on their working income.
  14. Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.
  15. Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money.
  16. Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.
  17. Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

You must acquire the mental patterns that create wealth and put them to use immediately. Remember, we are creatures of habit, and therefore the habit of managing your money (and mind) effectively is more important than the amount you’re on today.

  1. Wow… That’s an extremely judgmental statement, to sum it up, you just said that poor people suck and rich people are better than everyone, I’m middle class, and I’d rather hang out with other middle class and poorer people that the wealthy. Of course, this varies from person to person
