Rich Mindset vs Poor Mindset : 6 key differences

[JayJuanGee]

We all can be rich but what tied us to being poor is our mentality, we need to change our way of thinking and reasoning and get new orientation to position us the normal way we should think and live our lives, we are not expected to feel inferior with the way of our life, we must be courageous and remained determined for success no matter the price required, it's what will change our lives for a better tomorrow if we set the mindset right on a good positioning to work in our favour in whatsoever thing we do in life

Nobody wants to be poor actually but can't hide the reality that even how much you think about improving your living and becoming rich if you really don't have the capacity to do it like no education, no capital to start a business, etc...You can really think that mindset won't save you from becoming poor forever.

The level of thinking varies with the status of our living. Of course, rich people could think bigger and more about positivity while poor people had only think about how to survive and live happily together.

Something bothers me about several of these responses that seem to want to describe poorness or richness as a static status.. and also similarly with mindset as if it were some kind of a static status, when it seems that a lot of us can fuck up a lot, and then get our shit together at a later date in order to make progress towards improving our situation in measurable ways.

Of course, people vary in how they come into the world in terms of level of education, level of capital, social networking resources, etc., and surely some people have circumstances that are so dire that it might be close to impossible for them to become rich - yet they still may well be able to improve their lot in life by trying to muster up resources that they have in order to make incremental progress (or at least ongoingly work on doing that) and sometimes the incremental progress will end up leading to lucky opportunties or even times in which exponential progress ends up taking place.

I doubt any of us suggest that positive thinking or great mindset is going to help you by itself if you are not ongoingly taking action to improve what you are doing or to work in certain directions that you believe to be fruitful in regards to making progress towards goals that you have set for yourself, and sure success is NOT guaranteed - but it seems to be a lot more likely that any of us is going to make progress if we are setting goals for ourselves and working towards goals, rather than just focusing on how some obstacles are too difficult or focusing on how some people have it easier.. which both things are actually true, but there still can be ways to look at our own circumstances in order to attempt to figure out ways that we might have advantages, and then acting in order towards things that we believe that we have advantages and interests and hopefully, we can also get paid for activities and our interests because if we cannot get paid, then we may well get sucked into situations in which we do not have enough capital built up or saved up in order that at some point down the road we might be able to stop working or to be able to choose whether or not to work because we have income coming in that supports our standard of living up to the level that we are comfortable and can consider ourselves as successful.

i think we as a human being does a lot of mistake during our lifetime - one of them is wasting so much money and time on the people who dont deserve it.
The sooner we realize this the better it is !
It is better to have a small side hustle with less investment and give yourself its best.

In conclusion maybe, no matter how much positive thinking from both the rich and the poor when they don't take action on what has been planned for success will only be wishful thinking, it's true that everyone's thoughts vary and may include the orientation and implementation of happiness in life they are a level of success where not everyone has a reference to the prosperity of material resources to show their success and happiness.
A goal that makes a person feel proud and successful in terms of his success must indeed take steps that can indeed lead to that goal.
Executing the steps that have been planned and when you have claimed that the path leads in the direction that is already the goal is the most important thing to take.

A lot of people are making mistakes, they are not embracing investments thinking that paying jobs/labour would be the solution, and this happens until they waste the best of their years. But you would hardly see people that are rich with paying jobs, even those that are rich with it would still have a challenging future if they did not plan ahead. Investment is the key, and if one would not invest, such should be ready for multiple income streams to cater for a good living and savings for the future.

This is not peculiar to any class, it's the responsibility of everyone to think ahead and build a strong financial freedom.

While we idealise rich people - they have their own struggle - they might have made their own mistakes
But we only see where they are today. I read most of the times that many rich people failed while trying to establish their business - I am a complete failure - never have ever lucked sided me in my life time

[JayJuanGee]

.....I am a complete failure - never have ever lucked sided me in my life time

Are you in your 20s, 30s or older?  And do you have any goals?

It's not uncommon for people to believe that they are not making any progress, but you do not have to be rich in the eyes of others in order to consider yourself a success in terms of achieving your goals, such as if you are able to have an income that is greater than your expenses and to be able to save and invest in such a way that the money that you invest and save might well allow you to get to some variation of fuck you status, even though it could take a long time to get there.. but anyone can describe fuck you status within there own parameters, but the main idea of fuck you status is being able to have enough income that you do not have to work.. and/or that you can completely elect any work that you choose to do.  Sometimes it takes a while to reach goals, yet even making progress towards reaching goals may well be considered success and lucky to some degree.

Then why don't you ever learn from the rich while he has failed several times and in the end succeeded thanks to hard work in building a business, now do you understand their business concept?
Even though they have had their own struggles why can't we too even though it's the same as failure the important thing is don't ever repeat the same thing if it's wrong in doing business make sure you are also right in financial management because this is also important to become a rich person.

It's not that you've never had any luck in your life, but you don't want to try which in the end gives up blaming yourself and God is never fair to you, maybe that's in your thoughts.

If we are young when we still have a long way to go to build a successful road and never be discouraged by others, we can be as rich as they will still need a long journey.

I agree with what you said... and indeed to achieve something it takes time and struggle.

but if I think in this life do not care about rich or poor. because the poor are not necessarily sad, the rich are not necessarily happy.
because in my opinion a rich person is a person who is always grateful in any circumstances.

but don't be lazy to try, and don't give up when there are obstacles.

The important thing is not to measure other people's success as a benchmark for your success and compare other people's efforts to what we are doing either from failure or success, because basically everyone has a different response to situations of psychological stress that is influenced by mindset and experience.
Complaining is a natural thing but it's not good if you keep sinking in that position, in fact it will make you farther from your goal because complaining will never solve the problem and if you keep silent and do nothing after your failure, you are guaranteed to fail when you are no longer doing anything for your goals.

The important thing in dealing with this life is that you can make your life goals in a better direction or have goals to be able to achieve a better life in the percentage you can have expectations from year to year.

we mustn't lie to the fact that life is full of lavish lavish style in every aspect of our lives. whether the rich or the poor they have a better life instinct every year.

therefore the mindset of the future must exist within us to change our lifestyle in a better direction.

Those are also good points because it seems that the various kinds of goals that can be set do not need to be ones that are out of reach, but instead, a person can be content with his/her lot in life, but at the same time, working towards reaching goals that s/he believes will improve his/her lot along the way.. and surely some of the goals might be easy to reach and others might be aspirational.. but not necessarily deal breakers (or something to cause unhappiness) if they become too difficult to obtain.. ..

Another aspect could be considering that there are quite a few people who have to work a lot of hours each day, week, month in order to just sustain the monthly expenses, so realistically, there may ONLY be a limited number of hours that could be dedicated towards attempting to reach certain goals that might end up freeing up more time from having to work, so if more time is freed up from having to work, then more time can be used towards working on goals (that is to the extent that the kind of work that is done to put food on the table may or may not be also working towards the longer goals, so in some sense, it might make sense to switch jobs (even if it does not pay as well) if it allows for more time to be spent simultaneously working towards longer term aspirational goals). 

Regarding your point about being lazy, each of us has the right to choose how much we want to be lazy or how much time we want to spend on attempting to reach goals or even how much time that we feel that we need for recreation and entertainment activities that might not be directly related to reaching our goals... and sometimes if we are able to combine our activities, then that can free up other time that we have in order that we have the luxury of having downtime in which we are able to be "lazy" without having to feel guilty about that.

I think so too, because being lazy even if the goal is good, well... it's okay.
and in the sense of being lazy here is resting the mind so that it relaxes again after a long time of hard work. because the reality is that humans are lazy and work. and it is needed by the human body. but in my opinion, in living this life, you have to enjoy it, whether you're rich or poor, it's the same. because
to be honest, I personally experience failure very often, but from that failure we must learn.

That's right, don't ever compare it because everyone is different in the experience of becoming a successful person, just make it a motivation for us while we do something different but there's no need to measure those who have been successful if you keep on comparing it will be frustrating always distinguishing between them.

Complaining while walking will be better than complaining and looking at other people while we are silent and doing nothing, the chances of success are quite a lot by doing what is planned, and never believing that luck is not on our side, basically this is not Gambling but trying on other businesses that have potential.

Comparing yourself into others would really be only just giving that kind of stress and desperation but it would be depending on someones taking because there are ones who do make it as an inspiration for them to

work hard and do their best on what they are currently dealing with and this is why we cant make out conclusions on how someone do sees off things.Its true that we do have different challenges and facing up on things in life which we cant really belittle someone just because we are better in terms of financial.

We are thriving for the best of us in terms of financial but there are things which cant really be achieved in short time.

There are many theories to make us successful and rich, of course all of these are good things, but not necessarily in accordance with someone, sometimes rich people do the opposite of the techniques above, and this is life because rich or poor is always a mystery and what we have to do is do everything to be successful and rich.

I don't think the concept is like that, success is how a person has a certain goal in his life and then achieves it with all his efforts then he can be said to be successful, while being rich is materially oriented or has a lot of money and living in luxury, of course this is different, I agree if everything we do is to achieve the success of our goals, but I don't agree if everything we do is to get rich because it will have a negative connotation maybe if so your thinking is to be rich, maybe you will do the same thing as SBF being a fraud.

On the time that you do reach out that particular state on being rich then you could really recognized yourself that you had succeed out on applying your knowledge and those plans you do have in mind.

Its always better and recommendable that you should really set up some goals and targets that you should need to reach up because if you wont really be able to set those things then you are really that like on someone who doesnt really have the path on what you should gonna do, unlike when you do have those perceptive on things or conditions that you are really wanting to achieve
then you would really be having that inspiration.

There is a wide gap between the rich and the poor. They both have different mindset.

🗝️🗝️ The rich believe that money makes money. They see money as an opportunity but the poor people see it as something to be earned. 🗝️🗝️

🗝️🗝️ Rich people make money work for them. Instead of just working and relying on income, a rich person would take a proportion of their income and invest it but the poor people are said to work for money. A poor person sees $1000 as just $1000. A poor person works paycheque to paycheque for the rest of their life. They neither save nor invest any part of their income. 🗝️🗝️

🗝️🗝️ Rich people spend on necessities and what is needed not what is desired. A rich person with a perfectly functioning phone would not need to spend money on a new one. A truly rich person does not care about trends, they care about net worth. Poor people spend on both necessities and desires. A poor person spends beyond their means. They care about the latest trends, not about net worth. 🗝️🗝️

🗝️🗝️ Rich people think of a long-term goals but poor people set at best short-term goals or none. They do not see the necessity of long-term goals such as money for future living. 🗝️🗝️

🗝️🗝️ Rich people tend to be risk takers but poor person is more likely to be risk averse. For example, when given an opportunity to invest in a startup, poor people are more likely to immediately turn this down. They do not see this as a chance to increase wealth. They see this as a reduction of their disposable income. 🗝️🗝️

🗝️🗝️ Rich people are eager to learn but the poor people are not eager to learn. Most millionaires in the United States were not born millionaires, they learnt how to build wealth. The more they learn, the more they understand the world. 🗝️🗝️

Conclusion
👉👉Recognize where you stand and how you would like to move forward. Having a poor mindset may made your poor forever. The mindset you have will determine the level of your achievement.

👉👉Never get confused about your recent status. Confusion brings distracted and lack of focus. It never to late for a change in mindset. Work on yourself, think positively, be focus, have a dream and work towards your dream to achieve great success.

Very problematic. There are poor people that don't really stand a chance. Sure, if you got all the opportunities, education, health-care etc. in a stable western society, I'd say most of your points apply in some way.
However, if you never had access to a proper education, are struggling each day to survive, there will be no time, energy and resources left to use that amazing "rich-people-mindset".

So, I'd say be careful with these generalizations. Yes, you can find exceptions where people managed to come out of the most desperate situations, but it's just not fair to simply break it down to a "well, your loss, bad mindset is the reason you are not rich, bro" argument. Just saying.
If you got all the foundations covered, sure, it's a good thing to take responsibility for your life and take calculated risks, read books, listen to successful people but at the same time use your own brain instead of relying on some guru-advice and really think about how you want to spend your money and time. Then you got a chance to become one of the rich-folks.

The human mind will always be tempted to do bad things, it is very difficult to maintain positive thoughts and in my opinion the presence of a motivator who keeps reminding is important for the company, to achieve goals and be able to win the competition of course the company must always provide motivation to employees, and the company should not afraid of losing employees for doing the best thing that is to maintain positive thinking from employees.

everyone has their own views according to their feelings. success is not just material, it is different from being rich, which is calculated from the amount of material one has. so success can be measured by the level of satisfaction of each person, even though the material is not as much as someone who is rich but he can feel enough and be grateful for what he has achieved. there are also people who we view as poor but they feel sufficient, because they do not have the desires of people in general
