| Why
aren't you RICH? |
| |
Why
aren't you Rich? I love to ask this question to others. It seems like
whenever I ask this question of someone, they respond by going in to their
best Bob Newhart routine--breaking a sweat and stuttering. Why aren't
YOU rich? We already know that riches are just a small part of success
and money is not everything, blah blah blah... so for now, with that understanding,
let's just talk about being rich in a purely financial sense. |

Like
success, the word "rich" has a different meaning for everyone.
For the purpose of this discussion, let's just assume it means having
more than enough money to live your dreams. If you already are rich, then
play along with us anyway; you can always use this information to help
others get rich.
It
is time to ask yourself, why aren't you rich? Write down your reasons
why in your success journal. I promise you, this will be an incredible
eye-opener for you and a big step forward in your attainment of wealth.
To help you in your thought process, here are some of the more common
reasons people have come up with. |
| |
| • |
I really
do not want to be rich |
| • |
I don't
know how get rich |
| • |
I am
working on it |
| • |
Money
is evil |
| • |
I don't
have the time |
| • |
I am
destined to be poor |
| • |
No
one in my family has ever been rich |
| • |
I have
been trying to get rich but I just can't |
| • |
I have
responsibilities like taking care of my family and paying the bills
- it is irresponsible of me to be chasing a dream |
| • |
I am
waiting for the right opportunity |
| • |
I am
waiting for a rich relative to pass away |
| • |
I am
waiting to marry someone rich |
|
| |
Now that
you have written down your reasons, ask yourself, “Are these the
real reasons or are they excuses?” In other words, is this what
you are telling yourself and others because it “sounds reasonable”?
Or behind the excuse is there a more truthful reason? I am asking you
to question your reasons or beliefs as to why you think you are not
rich. For example, if you wrote down, “I don't have the time”,
don't you think you would make the time if you knew that by making the
time you would become rich? If so, then isn't the real reason that you
do not believe you can become rich? Go back through your list of reasons
now, and write down the real reasons.
Here are
some to get you started. |
| |
| • |
I
really do not want to be rich - If you truly feel this way, you are already rich, otherwise you
have some limiting beliefs about money that are holding you back from
becoming rich. |
| • |
I
don't know how get rich - If this is the case, why
haven't you learned? Bookstores are full of books on how to acquire
riches. |
| • |
I
am working on it - Most people spend their lives "working on it". I rephrase
the question... why aren't you rich NOW? |
| • |
Money
is evil - Money is paper and metal, it's not evil. Do you really believe that
you would use your money for evil rather than good? |
| • |
I
am destined to be poor - Says who? You create your destiny so why would you create one that
is not filled with wealth? |
| • |
No
one in my family has ever been rich - That may be a true statement, but realize that has nothing whatsoever
to do with your financial destiny. There is no gene for being rich. |
| • |
I
have been trying to get rich but I just can't - Don't try, do. Change what is not working. Believe 100% with all
your heart that you can get rich. Persist. This course will reveal
much information that will help you with this one. |
| • |
I
have responsibilities like taking care of my family and paying the
bills; it is irresponsible of me to be chasing a dream - It is irresponsible of you NOT to follow your dream and NOT give
your family the lifestyle they deserve. We all have responsibilities
and bills to pay - even rich people. Find the time or make the time. |
| • |
I
am waiting for the right opportunity - Why not create your own opportunities? You can spend your whole
life waiting and one will never come. |
| • |
I
am waiting for a rich relative to pass away - A little
on the sick side, but who am I to judge. |
| • |
I
am waiting to marry someone rich - Why not become
rich yourself first and marry someone for pure love? There will not
only be more "fish in the sea", but you will also do much
better on the prenuptial agreement. |
|
| |
If
your reasons are not in the list above, use the same line of reasoning
that I have used to refute your own statements. Have fun with this...
pretend you are a lawyer putting yourself on the witness stand, drilling
yourself for the real reasons. Don't go easy on yourself!
Congratulations!
Assuming you have done the exercise, you are now closer to being rich
than you ever have been before. Now that you know why you are not rich,
it is up to you to make the necessary changes in your beliefs, behaviors,
and/or lifestyle to become rich. If you are not sure how, no need to worry.
You will find the information you need in the "Success" course,
which I shall mail you for free on request. I am not being secretive -
if I could tell you to do A,B,C to be rich, I would. Like Success, there
are many ideas, concepts, skills, and beliefs that will help you to acquire
riches. Just remember to be patient and believe in yourself. |
