Opportunities vs Obstacles

There's always a saying, "With opportunities come obstacles." And vice versa.

What you choose to focus on will determine you level achievement financially. Just as mentioned in this book.


Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.
Poor people make choices based upon fear. Their minds are constantly scanning for what is wrong or could go wrong in any situation. Their primary mindset is "What if it doesn't work?" or, more often, "It won't work."
Middle-class people are slightly more optimistic. Their mindset is "I sure hope this works."
Rich people take responsibility for the results in their lives and act upon the mindset "It will work because I'll make it work."
Rich people expect to succeed. They believe that, if worse comes to worst, they can always make their money back.
Poor people expect to fail. Because they constantly see obstacles, they are usually unwilling to take a risk. No risk, no reward.
Rich people take educated risks. They research, do their due diligence, and make decisions based on solid information and facts.
Although poor people claim to be preparing for an opportunity, what they're usually doing is stalling. They're scared to death, hemming and hawing for weeks, months or even years on end, and by then the opportunity usually disappears.
"Action always beats inaction." Rich people get started. They trust that once they get in the game, they can make intelligent decisions in the present moment, make corrections, and adjust their sails along the way.
Poor people don't trust in their abilities, so they believe they have to know everything in advance, which is virtually impossible.

To become rich is basically a choice. It means you'll choose to say "It will work because I'll make it work." It means you'll take educated risks by making decisions based on solid information and facts instead of hearsay. It means you'll take action. "Ready, fire, aim."

If you want to be rich, the good news is it's a choice; The bad news is it's a choice.  :)
