Most people remain poor because they focus on the work over the results.

Assuming that they work at all, they grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind…

They work so much, do so many things and try everything to no avail.

Because they never look at what actually brings results.

After working in the same job for 10+ years and still being poor you should realize that something isn’t working.

Somehow that process of hoping and doing the same things over and over and over again hasn’t landed you any more money.

Maybe it’s time to change that process!

Instead of asking for $1 on the street you could ask people to give you $100.

Instead of applying to a hundred jobs with the same E-mail application you could actually visit the headquarters and ask for the person making the final decision.

And instead of just working hard at your current job in the hopes to get promoted you could ask your boss what would actually ensure a promotion.

Rich people do not focus on the activities themselves; they don’t care what they do.

What they care about is what brings results!
