Rich People Have Big Libraries; Poor People Have Big TVs

By Rob Walcher D.C.

How do Rich People Think?

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 you were able to nod in agreement with any of the statements above then before you continue there are a few questions you need to ask yourself.

First of all, if you really want to be a millionaire - how does a millionaire act? How do the real big earners think? And lastly what is the big difference between the rich people and poor people?

Your answers to all three are probably similar.

Millionaires live in big houses and buy luxury cars. Big earners think about how much money they have to spend and where they're going on their next cruise. Rich are different from poor because they have more money. Wrong, wrong and wrong! You Will Never Join the Rich if You Never Know the Rich Let's take this questioning a step further. If you wanted to be a corporate executive, wouldn't you need to know what corporate executives do and what it is that works best for them? If you wanted to be a sky diver, wouldn't it be in your best interest to find out what successful sky divers do and what works for them? If you wanted to ski double-black diamond slopes, will you just head for the slopes one day and jump in with the veterans? Am I making my point?

All of these answers and ways of thinking are wrong!

If you can't beat them, join them

The best way to learn about something is to immerse yourself in that something. You wouldn't learn how to be a CEO by flipping burgers. Anything you want to become will best be taught by learning from people who are already there. This is true for recreational functions and for work.

The point is that being wealthy or rich is a way of life too and it is in your best interest to learn the ropes from people who are already there. By knowing wealthy people and seeing the ins and outs of what makes them stay rich you will be able to learn a lot about how rich people think.

Being rich is not just about having money. Let's clarify a little so that we can stimulate the strong desire you will need to actually make it work for you. Being rich is about wealth internally and externally. Wealthy people have the know-how and the resources to lose everything they have and earn it all back without missing a beat. It isn't their money that makes them rich it is the powerful tool of their mind and the way their mind works.

Why do rich people have libraries? That was the first question and the answer is telling of what it means to be rich. Rich people have libraries whereas poor people have big screen TV's because rich people invest in things that improve their life both inwardly and out. Here are a few more examples of the real differences between the rich and the poor.

Wealthy people are big thinkers; they aren't afraid of a few extra zeroes in their income level. Poor people think small - after all, it's safer that way.

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.

" We all have two choices, we can make a living or we can design a life."

Now is the time to design your life.
