Yes, I said, "be rich" not "get rich", because being rich is not something you earn. I'm just going to go out and say it. I do not have money. I would like to but I spend way too much time thinking about how to make money when the question I should ask is, "Am I willing to make money?" and "What am I prepared to do, to get rich?" The question you ask ends up being just as important, if not more so, than the answer you give. Often, the way a person approaches the subject is incorrect before they even get to the "starting" phase. The truth is that in order to become rich you must have the mental thought process of a rich person, which is what most people lack.

Another important issue is what money means to us and how we use it. Some people think that the rich buy whatever because they could afford it. This is far from the truth. A rich person hardly ever spends more than they make. When we use accounting terms like "assets" and liabilities" we quickly see that the rich focus their time investing in assets (profits) than worrying about liabilities (loss). A house, car, and expensive clothes are just an image. These things do not make you rich but only give the illusion of being so.

It's important to remember that in order to be rich you must be willing to take risks and not keep it safe. There is no way that a person could be rich if they just do the same thing over and over again without jumping on opportunities. You might have a steady income, but your revenue will not grow. Whatever you choose to invest in, make sure that the income covers the expense. This is the fundamental truth of all business practices.

The most important thing is your brain, not your education. Schools are made for working within a set income. I've yet to hear a University say, "Finish our courses and you'll start making millions!" How many rich people do you know who keep their steady day jobs? None. The rich person does not stop learning and that leads to more options and alternatives. The more you learn, the more potential money you could make.

Now you know the reason why people struggle so much with making a living. No one else could tell you how to be rich unless you decide so for yourself. All you have to do is be willing to think like a rich person and you will become a success. Once your mind is in the right place, then everything else will start falling into place. You never stop learning (and earning) once you start. Make the right choice today!
