Nearly everyone wants to be rich. But only a few make it. Why? And why won’t you ever be rich?
Three main reasons YOU won’t be in the Forbes top 100 or even the top 100,000:
1. You don’t know how. You are not money savvy. You don’t the many options for making money (besides a job) and increasing the money you already do have. Investments, stocks and bonds, and the like just aren’t your thing. You never seriously think about your finances and never plan. Sorry bud, but you are what you think about and what you do and this applies to finances as well.
2. You spend too much. Most people, if they sacrificed for a time and stopped spending as much as they make, could put enough money aside and start building a nice nest egg that will continually grow. Most people equate any type of monetary gain with some type of physical gain (aka buying more things). The news of a raise immediately sends them into consumer mode and visions of new designer clothes, a bigger house, an expensive vacation, or other purchases start dancing in their head. They earn money to spend and never use money to make money.
3. You don’t really want it. Yep, that’s why everyone wants to be rich but few actually are rich. All other reasons hinge on this one. You just don’t have the drive, the passion, the ambition. Being wealthy and having that lifestyle sure is appealing, but the amount of work it takes to get there is not and most people are not willing to work that hard. You may have great ideas, a great personality, a great education, but none of those things will make you rich. Wanting it enough will make you rich. That ambition will make you work harder and never give up until you get there. You will stay focused and nothing will permanently deter you from you goal- not personal set-backs, not catastrophic events, not even failing in a particular business venture- nothing. You have one thing on your mind and that’s what you will do in spite of everything else. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
There is no magic formula to becoming wealthy. There is no secret. But there is plenty of money out there to be had and you will get as much of it as you determine.
Stumble it!
