The 10 Reasons You Aren’t Rich and 10 Ways to Change That


6. You believe you’ll have to sacrifice your family life.
Despite what you may have been led to believe, it’s not an either/or equation. You don’t have to choose between massive success and riches and a happy family life. In fact, use your family as a motivator to strive for bigger and better things in your life.  Imagine being able to spend as much time with your family as you like because you don’t have to worry about money.

7. You don’t think you’re smart enough to be rich.
Being book smart has nothing to do with your potential to make money. The way to make money is to solve a problem. Formal education is always a good thing, but never ending formal education will not make you rich. Some of the wealthiest people in the world have very little formal education.

8. You don’t believe you deserve to be rich.
The average person believes being rich is a privilege awarded only to lucky people. The truth is, in a capitalistic country, you have every right to be rich if you’re willing to create massive value for others. If you want to be rich, the first step is to believe you deserve it.

9. You have a lottery mentality.
The masses love the lottery because deep down they believe it’s their only chance to get rich. This instills the belief that you have to be lucky to get rich. Stop relying on luck and start expecting more. Expect to make one-million dollars next year. You might not make that much money, but you’ll be thinking big and in the right frame of mind to attract more money.

10.   You trade time for money.
Most people think the only way to make more money is to work more hours. Stop trading time for money. Start looking at making money as a non-linear process, which is about finding solutions to problems. The linear way is the obvious. The non-linear way is the non-obvious. Non-linear thinking and ideas are the way to riches.
