1. Average people think MONEY is the root of all
evil. Rich people believe POVERTY is the root of all evil.
·
"The average person has been
brainwashed to believe rich people are lucky or dishonest," Siebold
writes. That's why there's a certain shame that comes along with "getting
rich" in lower-income communities.
·
"The world class knows that while having
money doesn't guarantee happiness, it does make your life easier and more
enjoyable."
2. Average people think
selfishness is a vice. Rich people think selfishness is a virtue.
· "The rich go out there and try to make themselves happy. They don't try to pretend to save the world," Siebold told Business Insider.
· "The rich go out there and try to make themselves happy. They don't try to pretend to save the world," Siebold told Business Insider.
·
The problem is that middle class people see that as a
negative––and it's keeping them poor, he writes. "If you're not taking
care of you, you're not in a position to help anyone else. You can't give what
you don't have."
3.
Average
people have a lottery mentality. Rich people have an action mentality.
·
"While the masses are waiting to pick the right numbers and
praying for prosperity, the great ones are solving problems," Siebold
writes.
·
"The hero [middle class people] are waiting for may be God,
government, their boss or their spouse. It's the average person's level of
thinking that breeds this approach to life and living while the clock keeps
ticking away."
4.
Average
people think the road to riches is paved with formal education. Rich people
believe in acquiring specific knowledge.
·
"Many
world-class performers have little formal education, and have amassed their
wealth through the acquisition and subsequent sale of specific knowledge,"
he writes. "Meanwhile, the masses are convinced that master's degrees and
doctorates are the way to wealth, mostly because they are trapped in the linear
line of thought that holds them back from higher levels of consciousness...The
wealthy aren't interested in the means, only the end."
5.
Average
people long for the good old days. Rich people dream of the future.
·
"Self-made millionaires get rich because they're willing to
bet on themselves and project their dreams, goals and ideas into an unknown
future," Siebold writes.
·
"People who believe their best days are behind them rarely
get rich, and often struggle with unhappiness and depression."
6.
Average
people see money through the eyes of emotion. Rich people think about money
logically.
·
"An ordinarily smart,
well-educated and otherwise successful person can be instantly transformed into
a fear-based, scarcity driven thinker whose greatest financial aspiration is to
retire comfortably," he writes.
·
"The world class sees money for what it is and what it's not,
through the eyes of logic. The great ones know money is a critical tool that
presents options and opportunities."
7.
Average people earn money doing things they don't
love. Rich people follow their passion.
·
"To the average person, it looks like the rich are working
all the time," Siebold says. "But one of the smartest strategies of
the world class is doing what they love and finding a way to get paid for
it."
·
On the other hand, middle class take jobs they don't enjoy
"because they need the money and they've been trained in school and conditioned
by society to live in a linear thinking world that equates earning money with
physical or mental effort."
8.
Average
people set low expectations so they're never disappointed. Rich people are up
for the challenge
·
"Psychologists and other mental health experts often advise
people to set low expectations for their life to ensure they are not
disappointed," Siebold writes.
·
"No one would ever strike it rich and live their dreams
without huge expectations."
9.
Average people
believe you have to DO something to get rich. Rich people believe you have to
BE something to get rich.
·
"That's why people
like Donald Trump go from millionaire to nine billion dollars in debt and come
back richer than ever," he writes.
·
"While the masses
are fixated on the doing and the immediate results of their actions, the great
ones are learning and growing from every experience, whether it's a success or
a failure, knowing their true reward is becoming a human success machine that
eventually produces outstanding results."
10.
Average people believe you need money to make
money. Rich people use other people's money.
·
Linear thought might tell people to make money in order to earn
more, but Siebold says the rich aren't afraid to fund their future from other
people's pockets.
·
"Rich people know not being solvent enough to personally
afford something is not relevant. The real question is, 'Is this worth buying,
investing in, or pursuing?'" he writes.
11. Average people believe the markets are driven by
logic and strategy. Rich people know they're driven by emotion and greed.
·
Investing successfully
in the stock market isn't just about a fancy math formula. "The rich know
that the primary emotions that drive financial markets are fear and greed, and
they factor this into all trades and trends they observe," Siebold writes.
·
"This knowledge of
human nature and its overlapping impact on trading give them strategic
advantage in building greater wealth through leverage."
12.
Average
people live beyond their means. Rich people live below theirs.
·
"Here's how to live below your means and tap into the secret
wealthy people have used for centuries: Get rich so you can afford to," he
writes.
·
"The rich live below their means, not because they're so
savvy, but because they make so much money that they can afford to live like
royalty while still having a king's ransom socked away for the future."
13. Average
people teach their children how to survive. Rich people teach their kids to get
rich.
·
Rich parents teach their kids from an early age about the world of
"haves" and "have-nots," Siebold says. Even he admits many
people have argued that he's supporting the idea of elitism. He disagrees.
·
"[People] say parents are teaching their kids to look down on
the masses because they're poor. This isn't true," he writes. "What
they're teaching their kids is to see the world through the eyes of objective
reality––the way society really is." If children understand wealth early
on, they'll be more likely to strive for it later in life.
14. Average people let money stress them out. Rich
people find peace of mind in wealth.
·
The reason wealthy people earn
more wealth is that they're not afraid to admit that money can solve most
problems, Siebold says.
·
"[The middle class] sees money as a never-ending necessary
evil that must be endured as part of life. The world class sees money as the
great liberator, and with enough of it, they are able to purchase financial
peace of mind."
15. Average people would rather be entertained than
educated. Rich people would rather be educated than entertained.
·
While the rich don't
put much stock in furthering wealth through formal education, they appreciate
the power of learning long after college is over, Siebold says.
·
"Walk into a
wealthy person's home and one of the first things you'll see is an extensive library
of books they've used to educate themselves on how to become more
successful," he writes. "The middle class reads novels, tabloids and
entertainment magazines."
16.
Average
people think rich people are snobs. Rich people just want to surround themselves
with like-minded people.
·
The negative money mentality
poisoning the middle class is what keeps the rich hanging out with the rich, he
says. "[Rich people] can't afford the messages of doom and gloom," he
writes. "This is often misinterpreted by the masses as snobbery.
·
Labeling the world class as snobs is another way the middle class
finds to feel better about themselves and their chosen path of
mediocrity."
·
Siebold theorizes that the wealthy focus on what they'll gain by
taking risks, rather than how to save what they have. "The masses are so
focused on clipping coupons and living frugally they miss major
opportunities," he writes.
·
"Even in the midst of a cash flow crisis, the rich reject the
nickle and dime thinking of the masses. They are the masters of focusing their
mental energy where it belongs: on the big money."
18. Average people play it safe with money. Rich
people know when to take risks.
·
"Leverage is the watchword
of the rich," Siebold writes. "Every investor loses money on
occasion, but the world class knows no matter what happens, they will always be
able to earn more."
·
For the most part, it takes guts to take the risks necessary to make it
as a millionaire––a challenge most middle class thinkers aren't comfortable
living with.
·
"Physical,
psychological, and emotional comfort is the primary goal of the middle class
mindset," Siebold writes. World class thinkers learn early on that
becoming a millionaire isn't easy and the need for comfort can be devastating.
They learn to be comfortable while operating in a state of ongoing
uncertainty."
20.
Average
people never make the connection between money and health. Rich people know
money can save your life.
·
While the middle class squabbles over the virtues of Obama care and their
company's health plan, the super wealthy are enrolled in a super elite
"boutique medical care" association, Siebold says. "They pay a
substantial yearly membership fee that guarantees them 24-hour access to a
private physician who only serves a small group of members," he writes.
"Some wealthy neighborhoods have implemented this strategy and even
require the physician to live in the neighborhood."
21. Average people believe they must choose between a
great family and being rich. Rich people know you can have it all.
·
The idea the wealth must come at
the expense of family time is nothing but a "cop-out", Siebold says.
·
"The masses have been brainwashed to believe it's an
either/or equation," he writes. "The rich know you can have anything
you want if you approach the challenge with a mindset rooted in love and
abundance."
