Most of us have grown up thinking that it was hard to get rich, and that we will have to spend our lives working harder and harder if we want to even come close to wealth in our retirement. So how is that going for you? Well, it was not going well for me until I learned that I had to start thinking differently if I was even going to come close to becoming rich. Fear of the unknown is what keeps most people back in life. Changing the way we think takes time, takes retraining of our thoughts and lots of practice. Most of our habits, particularly around finances, keep us from getting rich whether we realize it or not. Our habits and a lifetime of wiring in our brains have us resisting the thought that there could be a better way to make and manage money.

In the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he spends time explaining the different mind sets between the rich and the poor and middle class. Not that one is wrong or right over the other, just that they are different ways of thinking. Different realities. Forming a different mindset takes time. It takes knowledge, experience, success, and failure.

You also might think it is not OK to want to be rich - that it sounds greedy or self-serving. Struggling with this is normal, but just think: If you become rich enough to provide enough cashflow and assets for yourself and your family for a lifetime, the fear of struggling to make ends meet and preparing for retirement savings go away. That struggle is real for you, and how big the fear might be relevant to someone else's struggles is irrelevant - It is important enough for you as an individual to remove that fear by becoming rich.

Improving your financial future and working to become rich starts with changing your mindset - retraining the way you think so you will be better informed to make better decisions that will help make you rich.
