The Rich and the Broke - It's in Your Head

There are "Broke" people and there are "Rich" people in this world. To be clear, I'm not talking about the person who just lost their job or suffered a calamity and find themselves with little or no money to make ends meet.

I'm talking about the "broke" person, who works at a job but never seems to have any money left over and pretty much lives paycheck to paycheck. Since I've "been there - done that", I can speak from experience about what happens in the mind and how perception can mean the difference between success and languishing in the pits of mediocrity. You have a choice - you can think like the "Broke" or you can take on a "Rich" mental attitude. Here are some of the patterns I went through, that I think are common:

The Broke think everything is too good to be true, while the Rich think that getting a job sounds too BAD to be true.

Broke people give up when things don't go their way; a few disappointments and they are onto something else, telling themselves things like "it wasn't for me." The Rich work harder and become more determined when things go bad, and understand that you have to take the bad with the good to make it.

Broke people always have an excuse. Rich people say "my bad", change their actions and refuse to make excuses; "if only" is not in their vocabulary.

Broke people think not getting what they want is OK. Rich people are disgusted at the thought of not getting what they want and will do whatever it takes.

Broke people always have to talk it over with their broke friends to make sure no one will make fun of them if they make a decision. Rich people think for themselves and could care less what their broke friends think.

Broke people are never coach-able or teachable. Rich people are always learning, even when the money starts coming in, they never stop learning from those who were there first.

Broke people are scared of others, they fear trusting. Rich people place their faith and trust in others and know that other people are crucial for their success.

Broke people are always procrastinating; they would rather talk about it, read about it, think about it, but never seem to do anything about it. Rich people hate doing nothing and hate doing anything that doesn't "get it done".

Broke people are glad when the day is over and the weekend arrives. Rich people love it when the day begins.

Broke people think rich people are just lucky. Rich people put themselves into a position to be "lucky," and then work hard to make the "luck" show up.

Broke people think it is OK for other people to live where they want to live, drive what they want to drive, and do what they want to do. Broke people are OK with the fact that they can't do these things. Rich people get sick just thinking about being average.

Broke people think that other people's opinions are worth more than their dreams. Rich people know that their dreams are worth more than other people's opinions.

In other words -- to be rich, you must learn from the broke and **do not do** what they do, or **THINK** how they think.

Being Rich *IS* Optional! Attaining Financial Independence is Optional!

THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU!

that is Solid and truth Johnny Some think that God or the worth Fairy is going to find it and give it to them if they can't win a lottery. they never think of working to get ahead. Sorry to get a rant going like that. okk you know what I mean Any way
 
Donna Jones   366 day(s) ago
Johnny, I really enjoyed reading your blog. Thanks for sharing all this information.
 
Alessandro Olivieri   366 day(s) ago
A blog that makes you think about many things
 
Russell Morris   366 day(s) ago
Spot on Johnny. I love the way you didn't pull any punches. Sometimes having toes stepped on can work for the positive, depending on the mindset. A broke mindset will read this, get offended and remain in their condition, a rich mindset will read it, be offended (if it applies to them) and get up and do what is necessary to bring about change in their lives. Sharing this one with my FB friends.

Fabulous Johnny! You are "right on" throughout. Attitude, attitude, attitude.
 
Deborah (Debi) Becker   368 day(s) ago
Wonderful blog, Johnny mindset is key to peoples success. We all can and should change our thoughts to a rich mentality. It is important for all to succeed.
 
Don Sabelhaus    368 day(s) ago
As always Johnny, another one fit for printing, which I'm going to do and give to a few people in my orbit. I remember when I was broke and thought that way. It is a state of mind, but thank God it can be changed. Now I feel sympathy for broke people I encounter and want to find a way to lift them up. TB&L my friend
 
Sandy Blomstrom   368 day(s) ago
Super blog, Johnny. Made me think of Mike Dillon saying he never shops at Walmart because he doesn't want to associate with "poor people" and it makes him feel poor. It's all a state of mind. Thanks for posting!
 
Shelia J Alexander   368 day(s) ago

André Feldman    368 day(s) ago
Great Reading my Dear Friend. You just made me Laugh. Its a question of Internalizing a New Positive Thought, inside Yourself in a very Intimate Way (Adopt an Attitude). We all have a "BRAIN". We definitely have to STOP And Say to Our Heart/Mind/Spirit. I am so capable like that Rich Guy. AND Say, I am going to begin THIS & no Matter The Bad Weather. I will keep walking until I find some SUN. BUT the SUN will not show UP, if in the first 20 days of RAIN, You decide to Find a place of REFUGE....
