In this world there are two types of people those with a fixed mindset and
those with a growth mindset unfortunately many poor people hold a
fixed mindset believing that their financial position and their ability to
become wealthy is totally out of their control most rich people on the other
hand have a growth mindset and work hard every single day to achieve their
financial aspirations now while i think everyone has the potential to be rich i
also believe that some people are more inclined to realize financial success
during the course of their life which is why in this video i will share with you
seven signs you are meant to be rich sign number one you have vision you can
gauge someone's potential for success by understanding their vision the bigger
the vision the bigger the goals and when those goals are financial goals it means
becoming richer than you ever expected sadly many people put aside dreaming big
because of fear fear that their dream is too big or that they don't have what it
takes to become what they dreamed of becoming the funny thing about life is
that the people who have the courage to dream big are usually the ones who
achieve the most success look at henry ford for example henry ford was a
visionary of his time and was famously quoted as saying if i had asked people
what they wanted they would have said faster horses ford had a bigger vision
for transportation than most which allowed him to create the first line of
motor vehicles that was easily accessible to the middle class it all
started with a dream without thinking of it he wouldn't have created ford motors
another great example of someone who has vision is elon musk while starting a
commercial space exploration business is no easy feat he had the dream of
building a business that would help humans as a whole explore life outside
of earth musk didn't initially possess the knowledge it would take to create
spacex so he studied day in and day out to learn how to build a rocket ship and
now has been able to realize his dream of sending his own crafts into space
if you do not have vision or truly believe that it is possible to achieve
the goals you set for yourself then you will never be rich people that become
wealthy use their vision to dictate their actions and by executing these
actions every single day they are able to see that vision come to life in all
the rewards that it provides them sign number two you never quit you know what
it feels like to fail right you know how tempting it can be to give up the
challenging task you were struggling with to pursue the next best thing many
motivational speakers preach to their audiences that you shouldn't give up and
that you should stick with the journey at hand and while most of this advice
seems superfluous these speakers are right people who see their tasks through
until the end are the real winners in life because persevering is one of the
most difficult things to do on earth let me try to paint a picture for you
imagine having an idea about an app let's say you're in your second year of
college you've heard stories of big entrepreneurs who have dropped out of
school to focus on their big ideas and you follow suit and drop out as well to
focus all of your attention on building an apple will change the world when you
tell your parents about leaving school they threaten to cut you off and disown
you but because building a successful app is your dream you go on with it not
minding what will happen they eventually cut you off but you don't care you start
out with your friend working day and night to make this app a possibility
after six months you roll out the app to investors and nobody is interested in
your idea now you're a bit frustrated you work and work trying to pitch your
idea to more and more people so you can get funding still nobody wants to be a
part of it finally your partner quits and goes back to school to further his
studies you are left alone with no money no business partner and no parental
support you are left with a very tough decision do you quit the pursuit of your
dream and go back to school or keep trying it until it works out this is not
an easy situation to be in because everybody you ask will tell you to just
go back to school like your friend but this is the moment where winners are
made a week a month or five years later you could get that lucky break and
suddenly be the founder of a major mobile application like instagram or
twitter therefore those who are meant to become rich aren't quitters they start a
task and see it through until the end sign number three you don't mind risk
i'm sure you've heard the saying no risk no reward and many of the world's
greatest entrepreneurs took risks to achieve the success they desired however
these were not careless risks but risks that were calculated in nature when it
comes to business and investment you have to take risks daily those who are
meant to become rich have an inherent tolerance to risk that the average
person simply doesn't possess and unfortunately the fear of risks
paralyzes many people and keeps them in the same financial position for their
whole lives these are the people who find the safest drop possible and keep
all their money in a savings account too timid to try and increase their income
by starting a business or putting their money into the stock market in fact in
most cases avoiding risk is the riskiest move of all because nothing in life
comes without risk relying on job security might mean that you don't
improve your skills and end up being laid off when your skills become
obsolete alternatively leaving your money in a savings account that you
think will keep your money safe ends up causing your money to erode over time
due to inflation in short whether or not you are meant to be rich your ability to
calculate and tolerate risk is key to your financial success sign number four
you have a thirst for knowledge when you're willing to learn new things the
levels of success you can achieve are infinite you know how they say knowledge
is power the reason is because with the right information you can make decisions
that will direct your life in any direction you so choose and this concept
has proven to be true time and again let's take the example i previously
shared about elon musk after becoming an internet billionaire he decided that he
wanted to pursue his dream of revolutionizing the aerospace industry
with little knowledge or experience and just a thirst for understanding he began
studying textbook after textbook and years later is now sending rockets into
space even warren buffett the oracle of omaha himself used to read anywhere from
600 to a thousand pages a day after already hitting the millionaire status
and today at a net worth of almost 90 billion dollars he still spends 80
percent of his day reading and strategizing as these examples prove
everybody that has become somebody in today's world has done so because they
leveraged the thirst for knowledge and used what they learned to get where they
wanted to go and when you have this desire to learn more you are much more
likely to become rich sign number five you can focus with ease in today's world
you need deep knowledge and expertise to become a success to get water from a
well you don't have to dig wide but dig deep instead it is exemplified in the
book the one thing by gary keller if you have a laser focus in one area you will
reap the benefits that that activity has to offer sadly many people lack this
focus and are continuously drawn to the new opportunities that exist all around
them in fact this issue is so chronic that it's been coined shiny object
syndrome which is a tendency for someone to chase something new be it a new
business idea tool or goal rather than to stay focused on what they're doing
this problem is especially common in our information age as using the internet as
an example there are many ways to make money online everything promises a
particular amount of money daily weekly and monthly however when people don't
immediately achieve the results they see other people realizing they lose
motivation and seek out a new opportunity that will hopefully make
them rich the right thing to do and what those who are meant to be rich identify
early on in their lives is that in order to achieve financial success you must
find something that you love to do and invest your time and energy to make
money from this passion sign number six you can sell one of the
most important skills in business is sales and when this skill is honed it
can make you incredibly rich for some the ability to sell anything
whether it's a product a service an idea or a movement comes naturally many
people are born with the gift of the gab and can use your conversational skills
to entice just about anyone to buy from them i often think of my uncle as
someone who has maximized the return on this innate skill he possesses while not
having an education and finance he's been able to use his interpersonal and
communication skills to build a business and financial advisory that makes tens
of thousands of dollars a month unfortunately not everyone is like my
uncle and the ability to sell does not come naturally to them think of the
developer who has created the most powerful mobile application in the world
yet can't sell the idea to a single investor or the artist that is too
scared to show their work to others because of a fear of being mocked or
criticized even in a career setting not speaking up when you have great ideas
could be the difference between getting promoted or working your whole career in
the same position luckily you don't have to be born with this skill to be able to
leverage it to make you rich in fact i certainly wasn't but reading one book
changed my outlook on sales forever the book that opened my eyes to the power of
sales was to sell us human by daniel pink right now you can get the audio
book yourself for free today by signing up for a 30-day free trial with audible
using the link i've left in the description then if that book isn't
enough for just 15 a month you can sign on for a full membership and continue to
up your sales game sign number seven new experiences excite you people that try
new things are people who have vision these people are regarded as crazy to
the general public but being different is not generally a bad thing in fact as
mark twain famously said whenever you find yourself on the side of the
majority it's time to pause and reflect and when you try things others aren't
willing to you often find that these actions lead to above average results
think about all the great innovators they all had one thing in common they
were crazy enough to try new things away from the norm and tune out all their
critics on their path to success think of the wright brothers who were willing
to test the potential for flight and through their efforts pioneered the
aviation industry which today allows millions of passengers to travel almost
seamlessly as you can see trying new things as the sun you're going to be
incredibly wealthy one day unfortunately though you may still be following
commonly shared financial advice that will stop you dead in your tracks
