Wealth File #4 – How the rich think
My answer to my previous post on whether I want to be rich is a resounding YES! In order to achieve that, I have to change the way I think.
In comes Wealth File #4 – How the rich think.
Rich people think big, poor people think small.
This wealth file states that you will be paid in proportion to your value which you deliver to the marketplace.
What this basically says is that if you want to make more money, you have to breakout and start thinking about bigger things and making more impact on other people’s lives. It is not just about ourselves anymore.
And I learnt that the true definition of an entrepreneur is “A person who solves problems for people at a profit”. Wow, isn’t that a great definition? Would you not like to have this work carried out? I was told that if we think big and help the lives of hundreds and thousands of people, our income levels will be significantly different than if we help 10 people, or if we just want to help ourselves and nobody else.
I used to think that the reason why so many rich people have charities to their name is because they are rich and can afford it. Now, I am thinking their money blueprint is probably so big that this is their way of making an impact to people’s lives and in doing so, making more money!
Now I have to constantly remind myself that small thinking and small actions lead to being broke and unfulfilled. Big thinking and big actions lead to having money and meaning.
And so, how would you like to think? Big? Great! Let’s start leading today instead of needing and let’s start sharing instead of hoarding our gifts.

I agree with what you said. Let me share this quote, by Barack Obama, “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.”
