    1- Rich people thing big. Poor people think small.
    2- Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.
    3- Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent successful people.
    4- Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value. Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.
    5- Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.
    6- Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.
    7- Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money.
    8- Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

      Poor people like to use the legal mafia (government) to steal from the rich so it can give it to them. Rich people want the legal mafia out of the way so they can serve their customers better.

    • @AlainOgura
      @AlainOgura 8 років тому +23

      True. There's welfare for the rich too. Some companies use the government to eliminate their competition. It's called crony capitalism.
      Crony capitalists receive welfare in the form of regulations and poor people receive them in the form of welfare.
      There needs to be a distinction between the rich: capitalists and crony capitalists. The later describes the cunts you're talking about.

      wrong. the poor people just haven't proven how bad they want to be wealthy (true story). if you want it BAD ENOUGH, you'll get after it till you got it. Regardless of how long it takes. poor people always blame the rich government (like you just did)

  • @mariellaarroyo3825
    @mariellaarroyo3825 9 років тому +21

    I have been saying this for such a long time. I got into a discussion with my mother the other day. She said she does not regret her bad financial decisions because she is healthy and has family that loves her, so she is still blessed. That is absurd! All poor people always say the same thing. That they know someone who is financially succesful but is miserable in their spiritual lives, and at least they have something that miney cant buy. That is just an excuse to make themselves feel better. Its bullshit! Why not have it all? Lets those wealthy people work on what they are lacking in relationships, while you take control of your financial situations. Thats how I ended that conversation.

    • @hellomate639
      @hellomate639 9 років тому

      Mariella Arroyo The best way to do it is to not place _too much_ value on the money so that you're not so stressed out about outcomes and taking risks, which keeps you thinking rationally.
      You can go after money while still having contempt for it - and to me that would make life the easiest.
      You should always own your mistakes, however, because that is how you stop making them.

    • @hanswurscht6625
      @hanswurscht6625 8 років тому

      yeah, that is exactly the problem. i think it's pretty natural not to look for the opportunities in such a discussion, but to defend your fails. i've had the problem myself alot of times, until i realized this and started to change something. nowadays, i can just say: "yes, i fucked it up. sorry! whats next?" you dont have to defend everything, just accept that you sucked and try to improve (if necessary).

    • @shinespark6479
      @shinespark6479 5 років тому

      Yeah, my mum is similar to this. She sees success and wealth as if it is in a different realm to ours. She has always thought this way and it is no wonder, she is in her 40's and never worked (apart from a short time when she was a teenager), she has never been abroad and has said she's not bothered about seeing other countries. It is almost like in her mind the world of success and wealth is an unattainable far away dream, and all of these successful people and amazing experiences are something that, she has never woken up and realised, is possible for herself. She would be destined to be that way forever if it wasn't for me. I am helping her to wake up but it is infuriating trying to help someone with a deeply ingrained self limiting mindset.

    I love this! As a poor person slaving myself with my skill, I paint houses. And I get by in life. But as a potential well paid for doing what I really love, I write and create music. I may be between worlds but the funny thing is with my two humble channels here, I face two possible realities! Both are growing better than I expected. I have learned one thing out of my experiences and that is rich people have a better vision of possibilities! People who know me call me a dreamer! But it's better to have your dream and build your life upon that than just becoming a brick in someone else's! Thanks for these tips!!

      be grateful, these will raise your vibration. Expect it to come, and thank the Universe/God/Source always. Don't say if, say when. Abraham Hicks, Wayne Dyer,

    My judgment of your delivery of this message doesn't matter. I do appreciate the video. I also am currently working to shed the poverty mentality that was programmed into me. It's working slowly. I'm not where I used to be, thank God!
    I was raised by a woman that grew up in the Great Depression. Her whole life is lack. And that's what she taught me by default. It's not her fault and I am happy to share my increases with her. She still can't believe it but I know it's because we deserve better, always have and now the flow feels like a permanent state of being.

I've tried to convince a lot of people to read it but I realize that most of them has the "Poor" mentality in which they think they know already the content of the book. You know, the "I know everything" sickness. Anyway, I'm really grateful that you've posted this book review. It's really easy to understand and a lot of people can access it. THANK YOU. Keep it up!

    @uzernam3 8 років тому +28

    Thats exactly fucking right and I never could understand when people talk about, Especially Family,... .. Money is not important or dont focus so much about money. YET, Everything they do daily that they hate.. Sitting in traffic, waking up tired, rushing back and forth to make it to the office on time, complaining about Bills etc.. They all do it for Money. When i began my Investment business, I was focused and driven to make a financial change in my life. I hated working a job. My family told me not to be so "obsessive" about money. In reality i was focusing on building an asset for myself and doing away with working 9 -5 (more like 7 - 6 nowadays). Its so fucking ridiculous the way most people think.

    Summary for those who may find it useful:
    1 - rich people think big; poor people think small
    2 - rich people focus on opportunities; poor people focus on obstacles
    3 - rich people admire richer and more successful people; poor people resent those
    4 - rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value; poor people think negatively about selling and promotion;
    5 - rich people chose to get paid based on results; poor people chose to get paid based on time
    6 - rich people manage their money well; poor people don't
    7 - rich people have their money work hard for them; poor people work hard for their money
    8 - rich people constantly learn and grow; poor people think they already know everything
    Great video... Thank you for that!

      ***** Thanks! I'm not willing to be proud of myself for just wanting to do something, but shifting my world-view and allowing myself to strive for greatness makes my future look much brighter, and much scarier at the same time.
      Being able to admire and not resent people who are successful has been such a breath of fresh air. It's like a weight fell off my chest and the world has shifted into focus again. That's the feeling of layers of rationalizations dissipating. It's a feeling all of us should chase.

      Do you know how much food you could have given to the poor with YOUR house!
      Do you know how much food you could have given to the poor if you didn't buy that useless and unhealthy snack last time?
      Do you know how much food you could have given to the poor if you sold everything you had?
      I'll tell you how much food you could have given, not as much help as Bill Gates IS giving to the poor.
      Sure he might have a fancy mansion that could feed thousands of the poor, but in the end, he's giving more to the poor than you ever did.

    @TijmenJanssen 8 років тому +4

    these are on point. couldn't help but notice the guy who read Tolstoy was the same guy you used for your dad. intentional? it's actually common for people to go the opposite of their fathers, out of spite, and they get consumed by it. so they basically live a life that's got more to do with proving themselves they are 'better than' their parents. And with that, forgetting about real relationships. they just are consumed by trying to be better, because somehow they resent their parents for not doing better. classical mistake. equally as bad, just on the other end of the spectrum.

    • @sergiobretonmba5225
      @sergiobretonmba5225 8 років тому

      1.-I agree with Tijmen J, there is no point in resenting our parents. They taught us what they thought was good and lived their life the best they could. If we find a way of living life that suits us better, great! That will even make them proud!
      2. I would not hate other people's mentality, even if it is wrong, I would rather try to be empatic and supportiive. 3. Anyways, most of the information presented is very valuable and presented in a cool way. Thanks for sharing

    I enjoyed this and I think this is a great tool for those people in a rut who can't see how their mindset is keeping them down. It gives hope that with a mindset shift we can all change and get closer to the success we seek and the future we hope to attain. It starts with an open mind, baby steps and ability to listen and learn. Kudos for honest talk with good intentions!

That low-wage labor lines the pockets of the richest of us through stocks that just keep on keepin' on. I do feel kinda guilty about that, but I figured out long ago I might as well bet on poor people not figuring it out, and I won big.

      I've seen this everywhere, the media has seemed to portray the image that all rich people are crooked and that's how they made their money.
      I have this one friend, and whenever I try to talk to him about passive income or assets, he'll always say something like: Life isn't all about money! You should think more about helping people such and such...
      I'll say: Yes exactly, I think about helping people day and night, genetically engineered crops that are more resistant to weather, huge pumps that could filter unclean river water, or a gravity-powered double A battery charger, notice something about all of these ideas?

    How about this... Don't hate the poor's people mentality, HELP the person. If they don't want to.. Well then screw them 😂

      The problem is, you can't just "help the poor people". In order to get help, one must be open and receptive to the very idea of being opposed, to have one's beliefs and ideologies broken down and questioned.
      Most poor people won't let you do that, so why bother?
      This video is a great help already though, reviewing books which will help people help themselves.
      All in all, in order to get help and improve one self, one have to be open, receptive, seeking, questioning and thinking.
      my 2 cents

      I tried this with one friend, but unfortunately the sad reality is you can’t help somebody who doesn’t want to change.

      Thats a very nice thought. I agree with your message, that we should at least try to expose them to a new mentality. But at the same time, it is very hard for poor people to take up this new mentality because as mentioned in the video, Point 8: Poor people think they already know.

    I'd like to throw in some constructive criticism. I'd personally enjoy your videos more if you employed a bit more vulnerability in the explaining of your points. I notice a tendency to use only the cool examples about yourself (I'm probably wrong, but that's the impression I got) and "most of the people" for your negative examples and using a bit of an arrogant tone and lots of sarcasm. Also using your parents and grandparents in these examples and how you expose these examples, gives the impression of not really respecting them (which is none of my business, but it has an impact on my experience of watching your video). All that makes me want to watch your videos less, although they have very good content and pleasant visual presentation. That's my 2 cents, hope it can help :)

    The ideologies of the poor person and rich person mindset are both opposite spectrum's which is the value of the deviation you have shown. I believe that the best way to cultivate and live a fulfilling life is to combine both ideologies and their full spectrum (essentially a pessimistic and a optimistic approach to said topics) and be easily adaptable to change your views depending on the context to fit the best possible solution. Rich or poor you can still be depressed and live a unfulfilled life which this video slightly is inferring to come to that conclusion.

    I hope that the views you take in this video are not reflective of what you truly believe. Watch it again and realize that the dumb stereotypes of the poor people towards the rich, are simply the reverse of the dumb stereotypes that the rich have towards the poor. Yes, you dragged yourself out of poverty (good for you) but to believe that everyone has the same mental resources to draw upon is delusional. Also there are many rich people with the same mental attitudes as the poor but their money insulates them from the consequences.

      I agree with delancy. The feeling of becoming poor and losing the labour for income job is what keeps the majority of people all over the world maintaining this outdated system perpuated by the rich and corrupt politicians. Think about the fact that 62 people have as much wealth as 50% of people on earth. Is this the ideal millionaire rich mentality society and 'poor' should strive towards?!

    I'm currently going through a transition. My wife and I both work.we decided last month to jot down every expense. Because we realized that we make decent money a month. And so why are we in dept. In one word " mismanagement" so yes I agree with you 100% we found out that we had a cash flow of 139.00 for February. We are in process of turning this around. Thank you for the reinforcing motivation.

    First of all, a big Thank You.
    What you write really inspires and shows the way and I guess most of the people either criticizing or not following your channel are shortcut people.
    I had a request : Could you summarize all the points in the description so that we don't have to watch the video all again. I would love to but the summary would be a quick follow-up after watching the video.
    Again, Thank You very much.
