When my poor dad wanted something that wasn't part of the budget, he would deny himself that item, saying, "We can't afford that."
When we kids wanted a special toy or to go on a trip, my poor dad would deny us that, saying, "We can't afford that." When my mother wanted a fancy dress, my poor dad would deny her that saying, "We can't afford that." My poor dad had a mindset of scarcity.
Conversely, when my rich friends and their families wanted something nice, they would get it—maybe not right away, but eventually. What was the difference?
Though they didn't always have the money sitting around to buy whatever they wanted, my rich friends' parents were financially intelligent. Instead of saying, "I can't afford that," they looked at the things they wanted to buy as motivation to help them put their money to work so that they could afford to buy them.
Rather than let their finances defeat them, they looked at their finances as a game that they would win. As a result, they nearly always found a way to get what they wanted, even if it took a little patience.
Today, if you’re running into a wall and not experiencing the success you were hoping to, I ask you to take a look at your mindset.
How are you viewing the world?
Are you falling into old habits and ways of doing things that resulted in the same lack of success in the past?
If so, it’s time to stop being the same person and doing the same things. It’s time to change.
Now…there’s something for you to do too...
We all have friends and family members in our lives who are struggling to reach their goals in their life because their mindset has been programmed to think like the poor or middle class. Please share this eBook with them. It’s no cost and takes 10 minutes to read, but could change their life. Success is meant to be shared, pass it along.
Thank you,
Robert Kiyosaki
