7. Have Great Ideas but Do Nothing About Them Other than Talk About Them.
Every time a successful person shares an idea or story about how they made it, a poor person also has a great idea in their head that they wish to share. They expect someone to say what a great idea it is and that perhaps they should partner up together. Fairy tales, I tell you. Poor people don’t realize that their inability to take action is looked at as a disease by others who take risks and go out of their comfort zone daily.
The day President Uhuru publicly blasted top bank CEO
Why would anyone want to partner up with someone who is always afraid? If you have a great idea, but are not willing to start the work needed because you expect a partner or expert to come in and help you, then dream on and stay poor.
Successful people start and put all their energy forward, which in turn attracts more incredible people who have common beliefs to join them along the way. Poor people don’t start on ideas alone, because they don’t want to fail alone and simply don’t want to put in the work needed to get them to a stage where they can take on the skills needed to move forward. It’s either they have it or they don’t, and that’s never how business works.
8. Surrounds themselves with stupid, so that they don’t feel bad.
You ever wonder why poor people are always friends with other poor people? There is a simple explanation for that. First, poor people have the same mindset; therefore, they like to be around people who think like them. This gives them less stress and requires them to think less as opinions are shared amongst poor people, rather than elevated to new thinking grounds. The second and simplest reason is because by being surrounded by other poor people, the comfort zone they live in gives them a falsified level of satisfaction with their current life. In other words, no one likes to hang out with people who make him or her feel unimportant or stupid all the time.
9. Believe That Others Should Help Them Reach the Top.
I get in many arguments with people about this as I get hundreds of emails asking for my academy membership or Exotic Car Secrets bundles for free or at extreme discounts. When I respectfully decline, I get tons of angry emails from people saying I don’t want to help others. The thing is that poor people have a higher level of entitlement and countless times without merit. They feel that since $100,000 is nothing for me, then $20 or $100 shouldn’t matter either; therefore, I am automatically a dick for not helping them. Instead of focusing on either making more money or pushing himself or herself further to get something, they focus on why they can’t have it for less. This is a typical mentality for poor people, because it feeds into their laziness. Poor people are lazy, but believe they are not. Instead, they say I work hard during my 9-5 job, but that doesn’t make any sense as you are paid to work hard. It’s not how you spend your time at work, but how you work on your free time.
10. Ask for Feedback, but Never Listen.
Ten to 15 times a week random people who need advice ask me to coffee, and often I randomly pick one or two to actually meet at a local Starbucks. I have met over 200+ of my fans for coffee since the beginning of the year and many ask for feedback, take the feedback, and succeed. But there is about 20% who love to argue their views on what works and what doesn’t, even though they are asking someone who has done it, made more money than they’ll make in the next 10 years; and still they argue that they have the right answers? That doesn’t make any sense if you ask me. If I were asking my mentor for advice and opinion, then why would I argue with someone else’s perspective that has lived through my challenges? I simply wouldn’t do so. There you have it, harsh or not, here is the reality of the situation. If you are indeed doing any of these things, you may want to stop immediately and correct yourself before one day you realize you are surrounded by constant episodes of stupid. Don’t be one of these people; you can change if you can identify with any of these 10 problems and read Third Circle Theory.
Tired of being poor?
If several of these points hit home for you then maybe its time for you to take a step back and look at yourself in the mirror. While we are all born under different circumstances, some worse than others, there is absolutely no reason for you to settle for an average life you’re unhappy with. For things to change, you must change first.
