So you want to know what are the differences between rich people and poor people don’t you? You want to know why some people are so rich while some others are having difficulties in making more money?

The first and the most important thing is this:

Rich People Believe that They Create Their Life, While Poor People Believe that Life Happens to Them

This is the most important differences between the rich and the poor. It is the most fundamental factor that will affect your life and affect every decision you make in your life. If you don’t have the responsibility to change your life, your life will never change, that means, you are living the way you are, the old comfortable way.

So if you want to be rich today, you MUST first tell yourself that you are responsible for everything that happened to you. Once you have the responsibility, you will have the power to control and change things. Think about it, if you are just putting away your responsibility, will you ever achieve the lifestyle you desired the most? Hardly. (The Real Millionaire Lifestyle, read this so that you know what is the real lifestyle of a millionaire.)

A lot of people are giving all kinds of excuses why they are are not rich. I really want you to think about it. Have you ever heard that people say, “the economy is good, that is why I make a lot of money”? You will seldom hear people said this. What they often say is this, “the economy has been down, and that is why I’m making no money at all”.

This is just an example of the common excuses that most people give. If you are giving excuses, you are actually giving away the power of controlling the situation! If you are saying that it is because you are not hard working enough instead of blaming the economy, will you work harder next time and will you achieve much more? Of course!

This is the power of responsibility. You can give it away, but you will never be rich. Or you can have it and control the situation, but it will never be an easy task. Which one will you choose?

Rich People Focus in Solution Instead of Problems

This is another big common difference between the rich and the poor. Have you noticed that poor people often focus in the problems instead of the solutions? When the government announced that the oil price will be raised to a certain limit, what do most people do?

They are complaining that the government is not doing their jobs, they blame the economy and they blame everything that has been affected. They will never blame one thing, themselves. Here is a real-life story for you, Don’t Complain, Read This, and I believe this story will inspire you.

If you want to be rich today, you have to focus in the solutions, not the problems. When the economy is down, you must tell yourself that it is the right time to go all out for your business, so that when the economy turn back well, you will be the market leader. You must tell yourself that you need to come up with some strategies to make things better, not complaining.

The moment you complain and focus on the problems, you will never get the things solve. You will never achieve whatever you want in your life if you are not focusing on the solution. You will find that life seem like a lot of obstacles and why life is tough. It depends on how you look at your life. If you think that life is easy, then it is easy for you.

Just imagine, when you see a glass half-filled with water, are you going to say that it is half-empty glass or it is a half-full glass? Both carries the same meaning, just that they are from the different perspective. Since you are the one that is going to give the meaning to your life, why don’t give your life a more empowering meaning, right?

Rich People Play to Win, Poor People Play to Not Lose

Another great difference in the mindset of the rich and the poor. Often, rich people are more willing to take any necessary action to make their dreams come true, because they play to win! While for poor people, they will never go all out, they are afraid of the ‘what if’. They say, “what if I fail?”, “What if I can’t do it?”, or “What if I lose all my money?”.

If you are thinking like poor people, you will never go all out, you will leave some space behind so that you can escape. If you are doing this, you will never be rich. Don’t focus on the problems or the tough things, instead, think about what are the good things that you will receive after you achieve your goals.

Let me ask you this, if Thomas Edison knew that he had to fail 10,000 times before he can finally succeed, do you think that he will still goes on? Maybe yes, and maybe no. He will goes on if he has a great determination, but what I can tell you here is that, 95 percent of people or even more will never go on if they knew that they had to fail 10,000 times first.

This is why you need to operate from the frame of mind that winning is a must for you! Don’t focus in the losing part, don’t concentrate in what if you lose the game. Make failure not an option for you, and this way, you will surely get what you want eventually.

So you can see now, the first thing is, in order to be rich, you must first take the responsibility. Tell yourself that you are the master of your life, you control and shape your life. If you are not taking control of your life, you will never ever achieve anything you want. Remember, Event + Response = Outcome.

Second, learn to focus in the solutions and not the problems. Whenever you face any difficulties in your life, don’t complain. Instead, look for ways to solve it and never to mention about the problems.

And finally, you play the game to win, and that is the main reason you are in the game. If you are not playing to win, you will 100 percent lose because you are not putting 100 percent commitment into the game. Money is a game, you must learn to play it, to win.

These are the 3 biggest differences between the rich and the poor. If you want to be rich today, make sure that you are operating from the rich people’s frame of mind.
