15 differences between rich and poor mindset
when people talk about richness and poverty they often think that is
something given it sometimes is like with family
inheritance but today it often is not given but
earned likely it is something one can work for
not only dream about psychologists often argue that what is
essential for becoming wealthy is within you
it is the way you think your mindset here you have the main differences
between the mindsets of rich and poor people
number one rich people focus on opportunities
poor people focus on risks when you have the mindset of rich people you will see
opportunities everywhere and in everything you naturally have a firm
belief in your capacities and you don't mind taking all the
chances you can you are aware that is how you get ahead
however if you have a poor mindset you shy away from opportunities because you
focus on risks you are always afraid and you tend to do
only that which gives you secure winnings
this is one of the major differences rich people think about what they could
win poor people think about what they could
lose number two rich people think about
investing money poor people think about spending money
one of the classic differences between poor and rich mindsets
is that poor people are typically consumerists
they like to own things to appear richer than they are
they obsess about how they appear to others and are willing to save money to
boost their self-confidence by buying expensive clothing or gadgets on the
other hand rich people know that it is not about
looking rich but rather being rich and that in order to be rich
you must invest rich people save money not to spend it
but to invest it and increase their wealth so their
main focus is using money to get more money
not to spend it number three rich people are lifelong learners poor people stop
learning as soon as they get a degree people with a rich mindset are aware
that to become and remain rich you are simply not allowed to let
yourself go and to neglect your education
this doesn't mean you have to have several different college degrees
many wealthy people have dropped out of college such as bill gates for example
this means that people with a rich mindset are lifelong learners
they identify their interests strengths and unique qualities
and they constantly work and learn to improve themselves
people with poor mindsets usually stop educating themselves
after completing some level of formal education
they usually think that that is enough and fail to comprehend the importance of
constantly improving themselves and learning new things to get ahead
number four rich people admire and complement other people
poor people criticize people with poor mindsets tend to compare themselves to
others then they often criticize other people
in order to mask their own faults and make themselves feel better
people with rich mindsets don't have the time to do this
they are busy with self-improvement they purposefully surround themselves
with great people to make meaningful connections and to learn from others
this is a very important psychological difference between rich and poor people
because if your mind is busy with criticizing others without learning from
them you are not doing anything good for yourself
number five rich people take actions to
achieve their goals poor people make excuses a rich mindset
is set on achieving a set goal there are no excuses
there can only be a change of means to achieve it
rich people know what they want and they are prepared to go the distance to get
it poor people are prone to making excuses
and blaming their failure on any other person or circumstance other
than themselves their minds are not set on getting what
they want they make excuses and justify themselves for their lack of success
number six rich people have a plan to get them ahead
poor people hope for the best people who have a rich mindset leave very little to
chance they are ready to take action to get
themselves ahead and they know the importance of planning
thus they take their lives into their own hands
people with poor mindsets are inclined to rely on luck
fate and chance to give them what they long for
the psychological difference in question here is in the activity
rich people are proactive and they take leading parts in their lives
poor people are passive recipients of what is going on in their lives and are
unwilling to get going this difference probably comes from the
ease and risk-free nature of relying on luck and then complaining about how you
are unlucky rather than taking matters into your own
hands and testing your capabilities number seven rich people practice
long-term thinking poor people thinks short term in order
to achieve any goal you often have to think long
term and to postpone immediate pleasures rich people are very good at this they
can invest themselves in something to get greater rewards later
poor people's mindsets are focused on immediate rewards
and they are reluctant to pass on them in order to get rewards later
this way of thinking is linked to poor people being reluctant to take risks
as discussed earlier number eight rich people take challenges head on poor
people never leave their comfort zone rich people are
aware that if you want to achieve great things in life you will have to
make a real effort and face many challenges on your path
they are prepared to bear discomfort on their way to their dreams
poor people usually remain poor because they value their comfort more
people with poor mindsets have a tendency to stay in their comfort zones
where it is safe for their sense of their self-worth
number nine rich people make money work for them
poor people work for money poor people's minds are set on earning money so they
could make a living pay their bills and spend what is left
on buying all sorts of things rich people's mindsets are trained to
view earning money as a way of getting more money the basic
difference is that poor people view money as a goal
and rich people view money as a means to earn more of it
number 10 rich people make the best out of the time
poor people often waste you will seldom hear a rich person talking about
spending their time uselessly surfing the internet or browsing social media
people with a rich mindset value time above all
they are aware that every second they didn't do something good for themselves
is a second lost people with poor mindsets
often waste their time and even they don't know how
whether it comes from their unawareness of how short life is
or something else time wasting is never a good way to achieve a set goal
number 11 rich people believe in themselves poor people believe in fate
and luck for achieving anything you set your mind
on it is essential that you believe in yourself
and your own capabilities these aren't empty words
believing in yourself isn't some kind of magic that gets you ahead
it has real consequences when you believe that your capacities are
responsible for your success and it happens you fail in something you
will be aware that you need to improve those capacities
in order to succeed the next time this is how we all grow and become better
than we were yesterday however when you believe that your
success is written in the stars and depends greatly if not solely on
luck when you fail you will surely think that
it isn't meant for you to make it and therefore give up that will result
in you not achieving your goal
number 12 rich people embrace competition poor people are discouraged by it
a sure way of personal growth is embracing healthy competition
and making the best of it but it takes a rich mindset to see that
rich people relish healthy competitions because it makes them work harder and
push their own boundaries poor people on the other hand often see
competition as threatening and by doing that they miss the
opportunity to learn and grow number 13 rich people are solution
oriented poor people are problem oriented
the main argument in this particular difference
is that rich mindsets focus on finding solutions
while poor mindsets focus on problems and often complain about them uselessly
by focusing on how difficult the problem is you engage your mental capacities
with the wrong task and thus disable them from finding
solutions it is necessary to think about the
problem in the beginning of any problem-solving process
in order to find the solution but if you engage in fruitless whining about it
you are not getting closer to solving it rich people know this
and therefore they train their minds to focus on possible ways to solve a
problem and not on the problem itself for too long
number 14 rich people tend to form meaningful relationships
poor people think quid pro quo poor people are prone to some sort of
pettiness in their relationships they tend to seek people that can help
them and then ask for a favor and do something in return rich people
don't think that way they know meaningful relationships are
not only about quid pro quo they tend to find people they think
highly of or that they admire and then form relationships with them
not only for some kind of material gain but for personal growth and making the
right connections number 15 rich people nourish a positive
attitude poor people are negative thinkers
negativity seldom gets you ahead negative thinking is all about what you
don't have while getting ahead is all about making the best
of what you do have you can see how that is very difficult to do
if you focus on what you don't have rich people don't complain about how life is
unfair they seek to do the best with what life
has given to them it is about engaging your capacities in
the right way if you want to make a difference in your life
surely you have checked your own ways of
thinking and behavioral patterns to see if you have a poor mindset or a rich one
whatever conclusion you have reached if you seek wealth it is of vital
importance for you to know that mindsets can be trained to work for you
all of these differences are ways of thinking that can be practiced and
perfected in order to make your dreams come true
