Poor Vs Rich Mindset: Why The Mind’s Important For Abundance
Written by Rajan Shah on February 22, 2022
If you’re like most people, part of your interest in the Law of Attraction comes from the possibility of financial abundance. However, people often get frustrated early in their attempts to manifest money, ultimately giving up. And yet, Law of Attraction success stories clearly show us that you can attract a happier, wealthier life.
What Is The Difference Between Rich And Poor People’s Mindset
It’s easy to have a stereotypical image of what a millionaire looks like. Perhaps you’re picturing someone in Hollywood, with a mansion and a lavish lifestyle.
In contrast, research shows that most millionaires look just like you – they live in modest neighborhoods, they don’t always wear designer labels, and they may even have iPhone models that are several years old.
These are the people from whom you can really learn the rich person’s mindset.
What do these “everyday millionaires” teach us? In short, they show us what it’s like to ground yourself in your old life while building an abundant, successful future from scratch.
And they illustrate that instead of buying lavish accessories and fancy trips, we can build our best future by slowly and steadily building assets.
This constant, forward-looking growth mindset is the hallmark of the rich person’s mindset, and it’s something you can learn to have for yourself.
Start Using The Wealth Mindset For Abundance
Now that you have a good sense of what a poor person’s mindset is and how a rich person’s mindset can help you manifest abundance, let’s look at how you can become that rich person.
Here are six things you can commit to starting right away, all of which help you grow and keep you focused on how you can make your fortune.
Rich People Have Connections
In addition to having mentors, you will want to develop a network of useful contacts if your aim is to manifest abundance.
Rich people know that their “network is their net worth”, and keep their circle as broad and varied as possible.
Every time you meet someone, ask yourself what you can learn by watching them and file away their contact details for a time you might need them in the future.
In particular, try to connect with people who thrive in their field – even if that field isn’t yours.
These are people who may be able to pull strings for you in the future, and who have a whole host of lessons to impart.
To deepen your connections with people, first look for a way that you can help them.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll have their gratitude and they will have a genuine desire to help you with your own goals.
Look For Opportunities
A poor mindset is one where you focus narrowly on what you know from past experience is possible.
On the other hand, a rich mindset is attuned to the possibility of opportunities in just about every situation.
Try to ask yourself how to improve everything you’re doing – even the things that work fine, as there’s always a way to build on what you have.
This advice applies to all areas of life. It’s obviously relevant when your work context requires you to brainstorm or pitch ideas.
But it’s also relevant to the goals you set for yourself at home. How can you improve your workout routine? What would make your diet better? What would boost productivity in your workspace?
How could you better wind down at night for some good sleep? Every day is an opportunity to make the next day even better, and all such improvements feed into your ability to succeed and make money.
Learn To Manage Money
It’s common for people with poor mindsets to feel shame that they “don’t know how” to manage their finances. If this sounds familiar, rest assured that this applies to most people!
While a minority of individuals do get helpful modeling of good financial practices from family members when growing up, most people are left trying to figure it out on their own.
Adopting a rich mindset means taking your money into your own hands. Work out a budget, learn how to invest, and make a plan to get out of debt as soon as you can.
All of this information is readily available, but if you’re struggling then don’t be afraid to ask for help from a financial adviser.
That one-time expense could set you on a whole new path when it comes to managing your money and multiplying it.
