Rich VS Poor Mindset - How to Think Like a Billionaire
No
Matter How Much Money You Have, If you truly want to join the ranks of
the super rich, you'll need to start thinking like you're already one of
them.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.
You've
probably may have heard the success formula “fake it until you make
it.” The idea is to act as if you've already achieved a goal; your brain
finds ways to bring your external situation into sync and people sense
your (at first fake) self-confidence and treat you accordingly.
For
example, if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you start by
believing that you're already an entrepreneur, even if you've never
started a company. You find role models to teach you how an entrepreneur
thinks and acts and you start thinking and acting that way. People
notice... and might want to invest in your idea.
The most
effective way to “fake it until you make it” is to find a role model and
incorporate the mental processes of that role model into your own
catalog of thoughts and beliefs. Using the example above, you can do
that by finding a mentor or by reading books (and columns!) that are by
and/or about entrepreneurs.
While many and probably most people
would like to be billionaires, few (so far as I can tell) delve very
deeply into the peculiar ways that billionaires think about things. Lack
of that perspective makes “fake it until you make it” difficult if not
impossible. Fortunately, there have recently been some groundbreaking
studies about how the ultra-wealthy think and behave.
In
addition, many billionaires have become much more public about
themselves and their interests, thereby allowing us mere mortals to
construct a mental model of how they think which (according to the
theory) should position anyone who adopts that model to become a
potential billionaire.1. “I am better than you.”
Self-made
billionaires tend to believe that life is a meritocracy and that they've
become rich because they're superior to everyone else. Billionaires
who've inherited their wealth possess this the same sense of
superiority, in the apparent belief that they've inherited better genes
than everyone else.
The classic statement of this belief comes from the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald:
“Let
me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.
They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them
soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way
that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.
They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are
because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for
ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us,
they still think that they are better than we are.”
Now, all of
that sounds very horrible and non-egalitarian, but if you're truly
serious about becoming a billionaire, and you're not planning on winning
a huge lottery, you are automatically assuming that you're better than
other people. So while you should definitely keep this belief to
yourself, you might as well be honest with yourself.
