This sounds a bit negative, but I think you’ll find it useful. Not being one to spread doom and gloom around, why have I gone for such a negative title?
The truth is, sometimes you have to be a bit blunt in order to get your point across. The truth often hurts but so do lies and there are plenty of those around. Especially on the Internet.
Here’s why I think most people never get rich
- They don’t want to. This is bloody obvious
2. They spend too much time trying to fit in with people who aren’t rich. Being ordinary will never make you rich, you are just modeling yourself on people who aren’t rich. Most people like being ordinary and fitting in with the status quo (not the band).
3. Not everyone is teachable. Their teachability index is fairly low, which means that they have an aversion to learning anything new. How many books have you read in the last year? Leaders are readers, they are consistently topping up their knowledge bank.
4. Many people don’t like change. Being rich sounds like a good idea as long as their current lifestyle is not affected. Most people’s long-term financial plan is to win the lottery or somehow get lucky.
5. They don’t invest in themselves. Becoming rich takes planning. It also takes sacrifice. It costs money and time to make money. Many people have the money to start a business but end up spending it on depreciating assets.
6. They don’t believe they can do it. This is a biggie. You don’t have to be the most confident person in the world, but you do need to believe in yourself. What you have now is more than likely a reflection of the amount of belief you have in yourself to do better. This can be a bitter pill to swallow, but self-love & self-belief is a powerful tool.
I could go on but I think it’s time to switch off the negativity and switch on the positivity.
Steps to take right now to make all the money you could ever want.
The Switcheroo
Trust me, it took me 40yrs to work all this sh*t out and lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in making mistakes. Here’s how to rectify any current losing situation and turn it all around.
1. See the past for what it is. If you’ve made bad mistakes in the past (most of us have), don’t dwell on them. The past is history, you can’t change it. You can only learn from it. Don’t keep making the same mistakes. Just because you failed a few times in the past doesn’t make YOU a failure.
2. Don’t believe everything you hear. Opinions are often lauded as facts. The truth is, just about everyone tells a lie or two at some stage. I’m not saying don’t believe anyone, but question everything. The recent pandemic threw up an army of people with opposing opinions, all thinking theirs is correct.
3. If you want to make money, stop hanging around with broke people. You don’t need to learn how to be broke, that’s easy. The Internet is awash with broke people telling you how to get rich. Learn from people who are actually getting the results you want.
4. You only live once. As far as I know, you only get one crack of the whip. I know there are various religious leanings toward the afterlife, this may be true but as far as we know, this journey is our only one in this body and form. Doesn’t it make sense to make it the best?. Why settle for less when with some effort you can get near enough anything you want in this life?. You’ve got to think anyway, why not think big?
5. Stick to the fundamentals. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. People will always have problems and will always want to buy products that solve them. Create good products that genuinely help people. Everyone is capable of doing this. It just takes a little time and effort to learn how.
And finally:
Ask yourself how bad you really want it?. In order to change your life, you have to change the things in your life. You can’t make progress by just thinking about it. Take action, get out there, and grow a pair. That’s all I have for you today!. .
Have a great day
