Do you consider yourself rich?  Probably not.  Do you want to be?  Probably so. Will you be?  Probably not . . . unless you change some habits.  Your habits will either make you, or break you.  This is especially true with your finances.

If you want to be rich, do what rich people do.  If you want to be poor, do what poor people do.

It’s that simple, it really is. 

Well, how do the wealthy get wealthy? Here are their habits. You must make them yours.  Please, please, please, slow down and understand these truths.  I want to see you succeed.  To do so, I truly believe you’ve got to take these steps if you want to achieve financial success in your life.

1. ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY -  You must accept responsibility for your future.  It’s not your boss’s job to make you rich.  Neither is it the government’s place to take care of you. And by all means, you don’t want to be a burden to your family, do you? Of course not.  In today’s world, it’s your responsibility to create wealth . . . and you can do it.
2. START A BUSINESS -  In J. Paul Getty’s book How To Get Rich, his first rule for success is, “You must be in business for yourself, you’ll never get rich working for someone else.”  Most Millionaires are self-employed. They don’t worry about downsizing!  Wrapping your financial future around a business gives you an advantage over the masses.
3. MINIMIZE TAX LIABILITY -  We have a Two Tax System.  No, not one for the rich, and one for the poor.  But rather one for the business owner, and one for all others.  I’ll show you how you’re actually losing money if you don’t do this.  Now that is powerful.
4. CREATE MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME - You need multiple streams of income flowing into your life.  Although specialization has its benefits, people who derive all of their income from a single area are more susceptible to economic fluctuations and less income long term. The key is to follow the advice of the old saying: “Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.”
5. INVEST IN YOURSELF - The most successful investment anyone can make is an investment in themselves!  It can pay a much greater return than any stock market or mutual fund investment!
6. LEVERAGE TIME AND MONEY - People of Wealth have a simple theory:  Get your money to work for you, so you don’t have to work.  The key to wealth accumulation is learning to leverage your time and your money. The good news is - you can do it with very little of either.
7. SPEND WISELY - Most people want to be physically fit, but don’t have the discipline to exercise regularly.  Most people want to become wealthy, but they lack the discipline to control their spending. The fundamental rule of Wealth-building: Whatever your income, always live below your means. 

Bottom Line… If you want to be RICH, do rich people stuff. If you want to be POOR do poor people stuff.  It’s that simple.

I promise you… if you take control of your finances and get the “money things” right in your life, the other areas will follow.

To Your Success,

Wayne
