00:00Rich people do not think harder than you. They think differently.
00:04Here are seven mindset shifts that separate the rich from the poor,
00:07and the brutal part is, not one of them costs a single dollar to start.
00:11Mindset shift number one. Poor people ask, how much does it cost?
00:16Rich people ask, how can I make it? The first question shuts your brain down.
00:21The second one forces it to hunt for answers. Try this tonight.
00:25Write down one thing you believe you cannot afford,
00:28then force yourself to list three ways you could earn your way to it.
00:31That list is worth more than any lottery ticket.
00:35Mindset shift number two. Poor people trade time for money.
00:38Rich people buy time with money. Your salary pays you by the hour,
00:43but every hour is gone forever. Calculate your real hourly rate right now,
00:47then stop spending those precious hours on $10 tasks. Pay someone else for the cheap work,
00:53and reinvest the freed hours into a skill that raises your rate.
00:56You do not get rich by working more hours. You get rich by making hours worth more.
01:02Mindset shift number three. Poor people obsess over saving pennies.
01:06Rich people obsess over earning more. Frugality has a floor. You can only cut so much.
01:12Income has no ceiling. Do both, but get the priority right.
01:16Automate your savings so they happen without willpower,
01:19then spend at least two hours a week building an earning skill.
01:22A coupon saves you a dollar once. A skill pays you $1,000 a month forever.
01:28Mindset shift number four. Poor people are terrified of mistakes.
01:32Rich people collect them.
01:34Every failed business, every bad investment is tuition, if you actually study the lesson.
01:40Here is the rule. Risk only what you can afford to lose, but always risk something.
01:45Then, write the lesson in a money journal. People who never lose, never learn. People who learn fast, lose small,
01:53and win big.
01:54Mindset shift number five. Poor people see money as something to spend.
01:58Rich people see money as employees to hire. A dollar spent on junk is a dead soldier.
02:03A dollar put to work hires more dollars.
02:06So, before every purchase, ask one brutal question.
02:10Is this a worker or a leech?
02:12If it does not earn, grow, or teach, it is a leech.
02:16Say no to leeches, and your money starts working the day you do.
02:20Mindset shift number six.
02:22Poor people wait for motivation.
02:24Rich people build systems.
02:26Motivation is a mood, and moods lie.
02:29Rich people make good behavior automatic.
02:31On payday, money moves to savings and investments before they ever see it.
02:35Bills are automated.
02:37Distractions have timers.
02:39Do not negotiate with your future self.
02:41Build the system once, then let the system carry you on the days your motivation dies.
02:47Mindset shift number seven.
02:48The biggest one.
02:49Poor people envy the rich.
02:51Rich people study them.
02:52Every time you say, must be nice, you hand your power away.
02:56The rich ask a different question.
02:58How did they actually do it?
03:00Pick one person who is wealthy in your field.
03:02Reverse engineer their path step by step, and copy exactly one habit this week.
03:07Envy keeps you bitter.
03:09Curiosity makes you better.
03:11Which shift hit you hardest?
