Wealth mantras#5 Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.

Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on the rewards. Poor focus on risks.

Middle-class people are slightly more optimistic. Their mind set is “I sure hope this works.”

Rich people, as we’ve said earlier, take responsibility for the result in their lives and upon the mind-set “It will work because I’II make it work.”

Generally speaking, the higher the reward, the higher the risk. They are willing to take risk. They believe that, if worse comes to worst, they can always make their money back.

Poor people, on the other hand, expect to fail. They lack confidence in themselves and in their abilities. And because they constantly see obstacles, they are usually unwilling to take risk. No risk, no reward.

Another key principle, pertinent here, is that rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don’t want. Again, the universal law states, “What you focus on expands.”

It’s simple. Your field of focus determines what you find in life. Focus on opportunities and that’s what you find.  Focus on obstacles and that’s what you find. I’m not saying that you don’t take care of problems. Of course, handle problems as they arise, in the present. But keep your eye on your goal, keep moving towards your target. Put your time and energy into creating what you want.  

Do you want some simple but extremely rare advice? Here it is: if you want to get rich, focus on making, keeping, and investing your money. If you want to be poor, focus on spending your money. You can read a thousand books and take a hundred courses on success, but it all boils down to that. Remember, what you focus on expands.

Good luck and stay connected for my next blog on wealth file.
