This article explores the contrasting mentalities between affluent and less affluent individuals, emphasizing how these perspectives influence financial success.
Average people think MONEY is the root of all evil. Rich people believePOVERTY is the root of all evil.
Average fellas are SCARED of money. You read that correctly. FEAR of money. You’ll
hear average fellas say things like “I would never try and make money from this. I would
never do this just for money” etc. Like money is AIDS and they would never try and get it.
Everyone needs money because money is freedom.
This fear of money is a one-way ticket to average town. Everyone needs money, there
is no damn reason to make excuses or justify it or be afraid of it. I want money. This
is how I make my money. Deal with it. Don’t be ashamed of your need or want for
money. Get out there and take it and leave the excuses for average Joe.
Average people think selfishness is a vice. Rich people think selfishness is
a virtue
Everyone is selfish, but there are two types of selfishness: overt selfishness and covert
selfishness. You want to be OVERTLY selfish. Covert selfishness is for chicken shits.
When you come right out and say “I want it my way and I’ll have it my way” you
will get what you want. When you play the covertly selfish guy, also known as nice guy
syndrome, you are only going to get shit on.
Nice guys aren’t nice guys; they’re chicken shits. They want the same thing overtly selfish
guys want, money and women, but they’re too scared to come right out and demand it so
they play nice and hope they’ll be able to manipulate that outcome. But it won’t happen,
it’ll never happen. You want it? Take it. You want to eat shit? Play the nice guy game.
Average people think the road to riches is paved with formal education. Rich people believe in acquiring specific knowledge.
Universities are leftist indoctrination facilities. And they are full of deluded morons. You
must educate yourself. Any damn thing you want to learn about you can learn about.
You don’t need to spend time in women’s studies to learn it. Every damn thing is on
the internet, for free. If you want to learn about it the only thing stopping you is you. I will
say it again and again: Everything you learn in college is useless if you want to be an
entrepreneur and it’s up to YOU to learn your craft.
Average people see money through the eyes of emotion. Rich people think
about money logically.
Money is like an extra emotion to poor people. They always have “money problems” and
they’re always whining about it. For some damn reason they can’t ever have enough to
pay rent and the car payment and the damn electric bill.
I have been poor many times but I’ve never been so poor I couldn’t pay my bills and I’ve never been so poor I cried about it. Forget about money as emotion, it’s just a damn game making money. Think about it like you think about your next 15 chess moves. Don’t be like these idiots living paycheck to paycheck and never having enough. Here’s a simple solution: If you’re poor….. DOWNSIZE! …and then get to work, plan ahead, and quit spending your money on nonsense.
Average people earn money doing things they don’t love. Rich people follow
their passion.
I don’t like the word passion, that’s a word for women’s romance novels, the correct word
is obsession. Rich people follow their obsessions to the edge of the earth and beyond.
Average people can’t understand this because their obsession stops at their favorite
sports team or TV show or smoking pot or some other nonsense.
The 4-Hour Workweek is a cool little motivational book but you can’t take the title literally.
If you’re going to find success in your field you are going to spend every waking minute
thinking about it, you will have to be obsessed. Forget relaxing, forget taking a break, just
give in to the obsession.
Average people believe you have to DO something to get rich. Rich people believe you have to BE something to get rich.
“What do I have to do to get rich?“
“Be the type of motherfucker that gets rich.“
Be a damn killer and go get it.
Average people believe you need money to make money. Rich people use other people’s money.
I’ll tell you boys, I made my first money using NONE of my own money. Not a penny.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. If you want it bad enough, as in you are obsessed with
it, you will get it. Even if you only have $12 to your name, makes no difference.
“I can’t make money because I don’t have any money.“ Sounds pretty stupid doesn’t it?
“I have to make money because I don’t have any money” sounds much better.
Average people believe the markets are driven by logic and strategy. Rich people know they’re driven by emotion and greed.
I have no time for these people who constantly talk about logic and strategy. “I like logic. I deal
with things logically.” Logic is only one part of the picture. If you look at everything logically
you aren’t looking at the big picture and I’ll tell you why. Most people in the world do
not think logically, they think emotionally. When you speak to them logically you are not
getting through to them.
Most people in the world are dummies and they don’t think logically, they can’t think
logically. But these “I’m so logical” types always assume that everyone else also thinks
“logically.” If you think they think logically you are thinking like a dummy. Not everyone
thinks like you, in fact most people don’t even think. They just react. They’re idiots and
shouldn’t be treated like they are masterful logicians, and they shouldn’t even be assumed
to understand logic. Logical thinking is only half the puzzle.
Average people live beyond their means. Rich people live below theirs.
I think you have read this alot so I will leave it to you.
Average people teach their children how to survive. Rich people teach their kids to get rich.
I had average parents who taught me how to be average. They didn’t know anything about
making money but they sure were adamant that college and a full time job and saving for
retirement was the answer. I wasted years following that stupidity. For most of my life I’ve
been a fool, and a lot of you probably have too. But it’s not too late to wake up and start
kicking ass instead of licking ass.
Average people think rich people are snobs. Rich people just want to surround themselves with like-minded people.
Rich people are different. After you’ve made it why would you ever want to go and hang out
with losers who are jealous of you? Average people cannot hide their envy and jealousy. I
have seen this look in their eyes, up close and personal, it is the most pathetic look I have
ever seen and the most hateful look I have ever seen.
They made the poor decision to go and waste their life at a job and now you’re a demon
because you are free and have money. You took the time to educate yourself, you took
the time to make your own money, you took the chance, you did all the work and they look
at you like you got lucky and they have the gall to get enviously angry at you.
It has often been noted that you end up exactly like the people you hang out with, so say goodbye to the losers, be elitist and hang out with the winners.
Average people focus on saving. Rich people focus on earning.
How many people have told you of the wonderful benefits of saving for retirement and
how you can finally live like a king when you’re 65? None of those people seemed to be
living large, though. Weird, huh? Can it be that they have no clue what they’re yammering
about?
