How Millionaires Differ From Middle Class
It’s All About Goals. Don’t plan to fail by failing to plan.
Most people don’t have goals. They have dreams instead. Some 97% of people don’t take the first step, writing down goals. They just keep dreaming. Millionaires, on average, read their written goals daily. This cements them (the goals) into their minds. Billionaires use “the power of three.” Billionaires read their written goals an average of three times daily, three times more often than mere millionaires.
Here’s how millionaires differ from middle class people, according to author Keith Cameron Smith, in his book “Top 10 Distinctions Between Millionaires And The Middle Class:”
1. Millionaires think long term, middle class people think short term.
2. Millionaires talk about ideas, middle class people talk about things and people.
3. Millionaires embrace change, middle class people are threatened by change.
4. Millionaires take calculated risks, middle class people are afraid of risks.
5. Millionaires continue to learn and grow, middle class people stop learning after they’re finished with school.
6. Millionaires work for profit, middle class people work for wages.
7. Millionaires believe in being generous, middle class people believe they’re unable to be generous.
8. Millionaires have multiple sources of income, middle class people have one or two income sources.
9. Millionaires focus on increasing net worth, middle class people focus on increasing their paychecks.
10. Millionaires ask questions that empower, middle class people ask questions that disempower.
By all means, even if you’re broke, the first thing to do is to get rid of your middle class mindset, which confines you to a life term in your own mental prison of self-limiting beliefs and the low expectations paupers accept passively. Whether you succeed or not, whether you are financially blessed or dirt poor, it’s up to you (not an employer and certainly not the government) to make yourself financially successful. If you’re poor, don’t blame God. Look in the mirror instead. Then get to work.
