What makes rich people different from those who struggle with money?
It’s more than just the number in their bank account. It’s more than just being lucky or hard-working, or having a college degree.
Rich people and poor people think and act completely different from each other. They have different ways of seeing the world. Of tackling life’s challenges. Of focusing on achieving their goals. With dealing with fear, and so on.
Today I want to show you the differences that I have not only experienced myself — being both really, really poor, and also really, really rich — but also what I’ve seen with almost 2 million of my students in both their successes and struggles.
In the infographic below, I’ve highlighted the 13 major ways rich people think and act differently from poor people.
What’s important here, other than the 13 big differences, is to see where you stack up.
Do you think and act like a rich person or a poor person?
Do you have the mindset and habits of a rich person or a poor person?
Use the infographic we created below to find out for yourself! (And if you want to learn each point in more detail, click here).
As the great Bill Gates says — “It’s not your fault if you were born poor, but it’s your fault if you die poor.”
Your Next Steps…
For a huge chunk of my life, I struggled to get rich. My first breakthrough came when I was able to truly see and understand the differences in thoughts and actions between what I was doing vs. what successful people were doing. And now you know the differences as well, which is great!
But there’s a problem because knowing what to do and actually doing what you know are worlds apart. We are creatures of habit and doing things we haven’t done before offers a whole set of challenges and obstacles.
However, if you want to make a change in your life, it can be done in the following 3 steps:
-
-
-
- Awareness — it starts within you (or learning from an infographic like the one above) that makes you aware of your thoughts and actions in your own life.
- Understanding — understanding why you are doing what you are doing.
- Reprogramming – working on your habits and responses so you can create a new way of being.
-
-
Today we hopefully accomplished step 1, but what about the other 2 steps?
Well, this is why I created a free web class called,
Don’t Believe A Thought You Think: “The Greatest Secret To Life” …
So you can understand why you’re getting the results you are getting in your life, what may be stopping you and possibly holding you back from success, and more importantly, how to master your mind so you can master your life and succeed… no matter what!

Thank you for all your webinars and insight, its really helps in thinking differently and guess what? Its really works! Its your way of thinking, that creates eaxactly want you want or how the responses are. So thank you again.
harv E should sell those info graphics as a nice wall poster ….how do I print it and get it as a nice wall poster for my bathroom wall so each morn I get motivated ?
I took a picture of it and I could print it from my phone, if I wanted to. Instead, I will read it from my phone, I think.
Thank you, Harv!
Thanks for this mind refresher. I am doing things differently thinking as a rich person.
I disagree with your comments. I think you are very negative in the way you stereotype the working poor. You sound like Ronald Reagan, or Rush Limbaugh. Most of the people I know are working poor. They may be a bit more negative about their jobs than the rich, but that is mainly because working poor people are treated horribly at their jobs. If the poor have trouble at sales jobs, maybe it is because they don’t like being told to lie to people. I’ve had at least a dozen sales and telemarketing jobs, and I’ve never seen a sales pitch that wasn’t full of lies. Additionally, I’ve seen many rich people who are terrible role models (Our president, for one). Jesus never had money, and he certainly wasn’t a “negative” person. Frankly, I’m tired of gurus and right wing politicians who are always bashing poor people.
Guy, the objective is to show that rich people and poor people have very different mentalities when it comes money and their success. Are all poor people like this – no. Are all rich people like this – no.
However, when you look at the masses there are very different habits, traits and mindsets to those are rich and those who are not. There is no doubt about this.
@GUY : I disagree with your comments. I think you are very negative in the way you stereotype the working poor. You sound like Hillary Clinton or Al Sharpton. Most of the people I know are working poor/rich (they don’t have much money, but great attitudes). They may be a bit more positive about their jobs than the other poor, but that is mainly because they act rich and are treated better at their jobs. Anybody can have trouble at sales jobs, if being told to lie to people. I work with people who like the sales pitch, because there are no lies, the product sells it’s self. Additionally, I’ve seen many poor/rich people who are terrible role models (Hillary and Al , for two). Jesus never had money, and he certainly wasn’t a “negative” person. Frankly, I’m tired of gurus and left wing politicians who are always trying to enslave poor people for there gain. Everybody can be rich with positivity.
I bet you’re broke… the handling for what you note for anyone is a) never lie. Sell a product you are proud of. Of what your boss wants you to sell is a lie, move on. b) rich people also don’t work for someone else! They break out of such circumstances and do it on their own. Ask me. I had to do that and am on my way to being rich! The rich also don’t have excuses. They plow through the very crap tha you note. Being poor is a choice. Just like being rich.
un grand bonjour…..merci….3
Because of people’s passion to defend why they are poor is that we have so many poor people. Not only financially poor but spiritually poor.
They are enthusiastically going the wrong way!
These specimens of individuals are not teachable, so let them be poor, is better to ignore them than to argue
with them. Rich is only in his name.
