THE RICH VS THE POOR MINDSET, Which one do you have?
How does the mindset of the rich differ from the mindset of the poor?
- Poor teach their children to become job seekers while rich people train their children to become job creators
When I was below 25 years of agent, I had a different mindset, which was go to school, get good grades, get a good job, work hard for a promotion and wait for pension, this was the mind set of being born poor
The poor people are the ones who take their children to school purposely to get a job after school but the rich people take their children to school to learn the skills which they can apply to their business
The rich train their children to become entrepreneurs while the poor teach their children to become entrepreneurs
So when I discovered that by becoming an entrepreneur I will enjoy many benefits and even employ these first class students from poor families,
I choose to start a business and employ these job seekers who are trained to be employed
Go to school, get a good job, save money and wait for retirement pension is a bad idea
- Rich people know how to use money to make more money
The rich people train their kids how to use money to develop wealth; they know how to hire new members to help them make more money
- The poor save money while the rich invest
There is a difference between saving and investing, saving is the difference between your income and expenditure
While investing is putting your savings into a productive activity that will generate profits or returns
Saving alone won’t make you rich so you need to invest money in profit generating assets
The rich invest in real estate, stocks and bonds,
- The rich know financial literacy
The rich know the difference between assets and liabilities, profit and loss account, balance sheets, balance statements,
They invest in assets whole the poor invest in liabilities thinking they are assets
To become financially stable you need to learn how to interpret financial statements
The poor people live pay check to paycheck, they are ever working for an increase in their salary
You don’t need to live paycheck to pay check, start your own business
Develop the mindset of an entrepreneur, develop the skills, stop being employed and start your own business
3. Rich people have multiple streams of income while the people live paycheck to paycheck
The rich people diversify their income sources, they invest in dividend generating assets, they know the power of compound interest rates while people survival on only their salary
The danger of relying on your salary alone is that your pay is determined by your boss, you boss determines how much you will earn, when you will earn it and when you will go for a leave
But rich people know that they don’t need to seek for a vacation because they are their own boss
If you’re a poor person, ask yourself if you lose your current job, what impact it will have on your life
So start building multiple streams of income
8. The rich how to use debt and taxes to build assets
The difference between the rich and the poor comes at how they both use debt and taxes to build assets
The rich use debt to build assets while the poor use debt to build liabilities
The rich use debt to buy real estate and stocks while the poor use debts to buy cars or change their lifestyle
If you need to get debt, you need to know how much interest you’re going to pay on the dent and how much interest you will earn from the investment you want to buy
If you find that the interest rate on your investment is low compared to the interest you will pay back for a debt, don’t go into debt
Being in debt makes you to become a slave to your borrower, by being in debt, your working for your lender not yourself
So debt can either be good debt or bad debt
A good debt is the one you get to invest in a productive activity while a bad debt is the one that you get and invest in non interest producing asset
The way you use debt determines whether it is a bad debt or good debt
The rich know how to escape paying taxes by making business and investing in real estate to estate paying taxes
Business men are given tax incentives to hire employees while employees are being taxed by the government
“Debt and taxes make the rich richer whereas the poor and middle class poorer” Robert Kiyosaki
- The rich take their children to high paying professions while the poor tend to take their children to poor courses’
There are certain professions that are good and those ones that are useless
Courses like medicine and engineering command a high pay in the job market while courses such as ethics or conflict management have less market
The more the demand for a certain profession, the more the pay, Engineering and medicine professions are more likely to command a higher pay
before you take your child to school to take a given profession, ask yourself is there a market for such courses? Can your child employ himself after the course? What can happen if at all the child fails tom get a job?
- Saving money in the bank is a bad option for the poor
Do you know that saving money in the bank is a bad idea? Banks will charge you money for keeping your money and they will also charge you transaction fees whenever you want to withdraw your money
The poor people concentrate on saving while the rich concentrate on investing
- The poor blame the government for a bad economy
The poor people are ever blaming the government for not earning enough money to cover the cost of their expenses while the rich people use the government conditions to build wealth
Wealth is being made but the poor people don’t know how to build wealth
So if you’re interested in becoming rich, stop blaming the government, you’re poor because you’re not creative,
No one cares about your poverty, no one cares, and your poverty is your own, stop blaming it on others
I once read a statement that says “being born poor is not your problem but your problem is dying when your poor” so you need to make sure that when you die you leave a legacy of a rich family
Don’t die and your kids continue to comment that they are poor because their dad or mom was poor?
Wake up your ash and work to get rich
Focus on creating your own business
- The poor people fear to lose their money
The poor mindset of fearing to lose money keeps them poor, the rich know how to take calculated risks; they know what degree of risk they should take, while the poor people are ever afraid of losing money
They are ever on the negative side of what if I lose money, what if it does not work out, what if what if what if
Get over all those fears and concentrate on building your own business
Stop giving excuses
- Poor people work hard while rich people work smart
The rich people have passion for what they do while poor people are motivated by the paycheck they receive at the end of the month
You need to have a sense of purpose, have a purpose for your life
Go after the things you want and don’t follow what others want you to be
Work towards achieving what you want in your life
Some people see what they want while others concentrate at the obstacle to what they want
So you need to concentrate at what you want not the obstacles to achieving what you want in life
Take credit for taking accountability for your actions
Who is able to become rich?
People who are determined to take action are the people who will become rich, people who are willing to have sleepless nights thinking of how to solve the problems which they are facing
Help the person to the right and left of you if you’re to become rich in life, we need money and people on the left and right of us have the money we need
If you help many people by solving their problems you will be rich
Love your job and work towards finding out how you can make your job better.
Be yourself, concentrate at what makes you happy, create good environment to work in and people will love to work with you.
“Remember as you gain fame, as you gain fortune, people will treat you better but none of this stuff is made for you, they will do it because of the position you hold, all those are not meant for you” Simon Sinek
Have the way and desire to know what drives and inspires you to do what you do.

How do you motivate yourself towards becoming rich?
- Know your goals, be self motivated, no one cares about you, learn how to motivate yourself
Know that no one knows what you want to achieve, it is all about you,
No one cares because they don’t know what you’re doing
People don’t support you because they don’t know what you’re doing
They only know that go to school, get a good grade, get a good job, save money and this is a wrong advice
Once you divert from that traditional path, no one will motivate you
They even want you not to go above them, they have envy and generous
Don’t mind about them, they don’t know what you want; you don’t need anyone to motivate you
Wake up and put your ash to work
To achieve success you need to motivate yourself because you know what you’re doing

- Nothing is easy
- You have to pay the price
