Five Things That Hinder You From Being Rich

Big Bank Accounts By Ami Ciccone October 11, 2019

Whether you realize that your thoughts have an impact on your net worth or not, the truth is, it does. One look at the rich will have you thinking that they are an ambitious breed with habits and mindsets all their own. However, after much study of many millionaires across the globe, it became apparent that it wasn’t a lack of desire that held the general population from enjoying the same success as the rich but rather a lack of faith in themselves making it happen. Here are some thoughts and feelings holding you back from the success that awaits you on the horizon!

You Don’t Deserve It

It’s true that the general population simply feels that they are undeserving of immense wealth. Being a millionaire feels like something better deserved by someone else — someone who has done more, worked harder, or made smarter decisions. While those with the money sit back and ask, why not me? Understanding that you are just as deserving as anybody else is a first step in the right direction. Your belief in yourself propels you towards manifesting your biggest dreams!

You Need Formal Education

Formal learning from a tertiary institution isn’t the golden ticket to a shot at wealth. The wealthiest in the world did not simply qualify for a degree; instead, they obtained specialized information, honing in on their skills in a very specific niche. Of course, there is immense respect for a formally obtained degree, but that isn’t the foundation of a financial empire – not by a long shot. In fact, taking a look at the millionaires in the world will have you notice that a lot of them don’t even have a formal education at all, yet they are the most knowledgeable people. Stop seeing a formal education as a prerequisite for you growing your riches.

Wealth Comes From Hard Work

Working hard and working smart are two completely different things. It’s a common belief among the masses that hard work is what generates the money to build a fortune, but unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Many people work hard to the bone but don’t have a penny to show for it at the end of the month – or sometimes the week. Some of the wealthiest people didn’t lift so much as a finger to generate their wealth. The spectrum ranges to either extreme. For the rich, hard work takes on a different definition – it’s about understanding competition and leveraging the brainpower of their team of advisors. Just think about it – if it was hard work alone that got people wealth, then every waitress and construction worker would be rolling in dough!

You Have No Passion

There needs to be something within you that drives you – a fire that burns within you, propelling you forward each day. There must be a reason you wake up to each day not just for the sake of rising. Live life to the full and discover your drive. The most influential people in the world have a passion so intense that it practically burns in their eyes. Your passion will be what fuels you in your venture for fortune. Strive for improvement and have a purpose in your life – and don’t forget to enjoy the journey. Find joy in your accomplishments, big and small. Motivate yourself, and even if you don’t become a millionaire, you will find wealth like no other!

You’re Acting Like Someone Else and Thinking Small

Nothing is more promising than being yourself. Understanding who you are and being unafraid to show yourself to the world is what will set you apart from the masses. Don’t try to be someone you are not. Learn from your role models in their principles, but don’t try to become them. The best person to be is yourself no matter who you are because people value authenticity. Don’t be afraid to think big and be bold. Throw yourself out there and do what you want to do the most. You will get noticed and that will be what brings you success. Invest your heart and soul into what you do, and you will naturally be the best competitor in your chosen market!
