Do Rich People Think Any Differently?

YES....Rich and successful people think BIG, poor people think small! Rich and successful people think how can I make this work, poor people think why I can't.

Rich people have certain characteristics....a positive attitude, integrity, trustworthiness, courage, persistence, optimism, responsible, and high energy. Rich people choose to be paid based on their RESULTS which creates their success, not on how much time they put in.

Rich people choose to take risks, because they know that is how to get ahead in life. Poor people always need "a guarantee" and they struggle their whole lives thinking the world is out to get them.

Rich and successful people do not need the approval of the masses....they are willing to step out of the pack and do things differently. They make decisions quickly and stick by their decisions.

Regardless of circumstances we all have the power of how we think. Our thoughts are so very powerful! For instance "I am responsible for what I CHOOSE to think and I hold the key to my own life" is a lot more empowering than being a victim of circumstances.

Rich and successful people don't look at their circumstances, they only look at their possibilities! If you are not there yet, ask yourself.... "Am I willing to give up who I am now for who I can BECOME!"

Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to do what the masses are not willing to do? THAT is how you create success and wealth in your life! Successful people have formed the habit of doing what unsuccessful people are not willing to do!

Being a victim of circumstances is a choice. Struggling is a choice. How could YOUR life be different if you made different choices? What if you chose to prosper instead? It depends on the ACTIONS you take. If you want to be rich, you can't keep doing the same things and expect different results....you must make different choices and take action on those choices, and simply follow the advice and actions of other successful people.

Re: My 3 best business books - 1. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill 2. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey 3. Permission Marketing - Seth Godin Think and Grow Rich seems more powerful each time I read it or dip into it. The 7 Habits not only offers some very effective ways to organize your life (which I have yet to master!), but also some great quotations and thought provoking statements including this by Nazi concentration camp survivor, Viktor Frankl: [i:2naxzsom]Between stimulus and response, man has the freedom to choose.[/i:2naxzsom] Seth Godin's Permission Marketing is a good read for anybody seeking to understand how to approach doing business on the Internet in the right way with regard to winning people's trust.

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
