“I create my life.”
Poor people believe:
“Life happens to me.”
Wealth
Principle:
When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing “crap magnet.”

3. Rich people play the money game to win
Poor people play the money game to not lose
Wealth
Principle:
If your goal is to be comfortable, chances are
you’ll never get rich. But if your goal is to be rich,
chances are you’ll end up mighty comfortable

Poor people want to be rich
Wealth
Principle:
If you are not fully, totally, and truly committed
to creating wealth, chances are you won’t.

Rich people see an opportunity, jump on it, and get even richer. As for poor people? They’re still “preparing”!

7. Rich people admire other rich and successful people
Poor people resent rich and successful people
Wealth
Principle:
The point is, if you resent what people have, in any way, shape, or form, you can never have it.

8. Rich people associate with positive, successful people
Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people
Wealth
Principle:
Instead of shying away from rich people, get to
know them. Instead of saying, “Wow, they’re so special,” say, “If they can do it, I can do it.”

9. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value
Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion
Wealth
Principle:
If you believe that what you have to offer can truly assist people, it’s your duty to let as many people as possible know about it. In this way, you not only help people, you get rich!

10. Rich people are bigger than their problems
Poor people are smaller than their problems

Poor people are poor receivers
Wealth
Principle:
Rich people work hard and believe it’s perfectly appropriate to be well rewarded for their efforts and the value they provide for others.

12. Rich people choose to get paid based on results
Poor people choose to get paid based on time
Wealth
Principle:
Never have a ceiling on your income

13. Rich people think “both”
Poor people think “either/or”

14. Rich people focus on their net worth
Poor people focus on their working income
Wealth
Principle:
The true measure of wealth is net worth,
not working income

15. Rich people manage their money well
Poor people mismanage their money well
Wealth
Principle:
Until you show you can handle what you’ve got, you won’t get any more!
Either you control money, or it will control you.

16. Rich people have their money work hard for them
Poor people work hard for their money
Wealth
Principle:
Rich people see every dollar as a “seed” that can be planted to earn a hundred more dollars, which can then be replanted to earn a thousand more dollars

17. Rich people act in spite of fear
Poor people let fear stop them
Wealth
Principle:
If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.

18. Rich people constantly learn and grow
Poor people think they already know
Wealth
Principle:
Training and managing your own mind is the most
important skill you could ever own, in terms of both happiness and success

19. To conclude,
here are 3 relevant quotes from
Napoleon Hill in his best selling book,

20. “You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”
~ Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

21. “If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a "quitter." A QUITTER NEVER WINS AND A WINNER NEVER QUITS. Lift this sentence out, write it on a piece of paper in letters an inch high, and place it where you will see it every night before you go to sleep, and every morning before you go to work” ~ Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

22. “Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive". The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some moment of crisis, through which they are introduced to their "other selves".” ~ Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
