Most people are too lazy to be rich

This is INSIGHT 5 from a set of rules about how to get rich

In order to get rich you need to wake up early, work you ass off during the day and go to sleep still thinking about work.

Yes - there are people who win the lottery and there are people who get large inheritances from their unknown relatives. There are people who get to be rich and famous by doing little or nothing and there are people who just get lucky.

You are not one of them

These things always happen without you knowing them in advance. Therefore you have to live your life as if they would never happen to you.

Indeed, you might win the lottery, but it is far more likely that you won’t - How many people who won the jackpot do you know? Statistically speaking it is more likely that you get hit by lightning than that you win the lottery… :twisted:

Most people are too lazy to get rich

Everyone dreams of being rich and famous, but when its time for action – people are simply too lazy to get rich. They buy a lottery ticket because they want to get rich without working too much. They are not ready to work, study and sacrifice their personal life to get rich – they simply want the money. People like that go to work for the paycheck. They really don’t care about being the best at what they do or working until morning simply because it’s interesting (That’s what I am doing right now 8) ). There is nothing wrong with different people liking different things – some people value working, others value their free time.

If you want to get rich and successful you have to work for it

If you look at anyone who is rich enough to give us a good example about how to get rich – people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Richard Branson or Donald Trump – you will see that they all have 1 thing in common.

They do a lot of work!

Whatever they do, they do it more than anyone else. They can make their money from computer software, investing or building skyscrapers but they all have the ability to do more in one day than most people do during the whole month.

Everyone can make money

One of the best things about money is that it can be made everywhere. And anyone can make it. You just have to work for it more than the next guy does.

Don’t be too lazy to achieve your goals!

If working hard is the base line Roman, You will be very wealthy.
I know a few wealthy people(cash) they are all pretty down to earth. They also are the hardest working people I know. They all have the same work ethics.
The funny thing is… they all look at luck the same way. They like to say, “I would rather be lucky than good, anytime”,and ” Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet”. I have to agree. Until I am “lucky”
I am going to just keep working hard! Hopefully, harder than you (ha)

That’s right - working hard to get what you want never harms anyone!

Money is an incentive, it where you are assigned to. There’s a rule to making money for ourselves, and thats is “Work hard to enjoy the fruits of your toil and labor”. You don’t work you don’t gain so you remain poor.

“You will always move toward anyone who increases you and away from anyone who makes you less.”

“Each relationship nurtures a strength or weakness within you.”

“What you hear repeatedly you will eventually believe.”

“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.”

“The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.
