Are the Rich Different Than You?
I think when it comes to making money online or off, the rich really are different.
No, they aren't better.
No, they don't have better opportunities (most millionaires in the US today are first generation self-made millionaires - no silver spoons).
You see:
- The rich think long term, set goals and put together a plan of action.
- The wannabe's think instant gratification.
- The rich work for profits.
- The wannabe's work for wages and a "raise" each year.
- The rich take calculated risks.
- The wannabe's take the biggest risk there is - they never take any risks at all.
- The rich concentrate on increasing their net worth.
- The wannabe's focus on increasing their paycheck (a little raise at a time).
- The rich are ALWAYS learning.
- The wannabe's stopped learning when school ended.
- The rich think in terms of ideas.
- The wannabe's think in terms of gossip about things and other people.
- The rich embrace change, adapt to it, and use it to their advantage.
- The wannabe's hate change, resist it, wither and die.
- The rich develop multiple sources of income.
- The wannabe's have one or two.
To me, becoming rich is sort of like how so many people "want" to be a writer, like a Stephen King.
At least, until any of them actually sit down to write. Then we find out they don't REALLY want to be a writer.
What they love is the IDEA of being a writer. They love the freedom, the lifestyle and the money.
Turns out they just don't want to do the actual work that gets those things.
Most people love the IDEA of being rich. They just don't want to do what it takes.
They'd rather complain, be jealous and envious, and hope someone makes some law that forces the hard working successful person to just give them stuff.
So ask yourself, where do you REALLY fall?
Do you WANT to be rich? Or do you just wannabe rich?

I do believe your comments have great merit and I agree with you. Part of the wannabe problem is they don't really have a good gameplan or step by step instruction. Another problem is once they find out they have to step out of their comfort zone and work at something they are unfamilar with, they are really antzy with this.
I sure hope I am not just a wannabe. I am still struggling, but I believe I really do want to be shelf suficient. I just need to keep working on getting my ducks in a row and charge ahead with a good action plan.

Hey Dave,
I'd put you in the rich category. You may not have the money yet that you want to qualify yourself as rich but you fit the criteria of someone who really does want to be rich and doesn't just love the IDEA of being rich and HOPING it will magically happen.
By the way, did you ever get my response about the interview for next week?

Hi.
I'm agree about all you've explained above. I think all people want to make money and achieve financial freedom but they think all this is impossible or you are lucky.
I'm working very much to make money online and investing money always thinking in long term and assuming some risk.
It's my opinion.

Hey Gregg:
No I haven't gotten a response about the interview. You did receive my potential answers to your questions didn't you? That concerns me. I normally get all your emails.

Gregg said:
Hey Dave,
Yes, I got them. I sent a response. I figured with all you have going on you just didn't have time to respond. But, it's probably not you, but me. I have problems with that email address from time to time with deliverability. I'll send you an email later today.
