The secret of wealth is the right motivation
A rich person is not one who earns a lot, but one who spends less than he receives!
I hope that this truth does not require proof? After all, it really does not matter how much you earn! If you spend every last penny you are not a rich person. They say about such people: “lives from paycheck to paycheck” (or, in the case of business, “from profit to profit”).
An employee who earns $ 300 a month (quite an average salary by today's standards) is by and large no different from the one who earns $ 500, $ 1,000, or even $ 2,000, if that amount is enough for him exactly until the next paycheck. Just the first person buys cheap products in the supermarket, updates the wardrobe once a year, and stays at home on vacation; and the latter - eats in restaurants, often buys new things and likes to rest somewhere abroad. The most basic thing for them remains common - at the end of the month, both the first and the second have zero kopecks in their pockets (and perhaps also debts).
Motivation of a poor person is pleasure from things.
Now that we have dealt with the axiom. Let's define what motivates the poor (that is, those who regularly and completely spend all their income) of people? The main motivation for them is things. Often, these people describe future costs before they even made a profit. They will certainly have the best mobile phone and they already feel the taste of that expensive brandy, which they will certainly buy after receiving their next salary. Actually, it’s not the work that motivates them, but expensive brandy, a new mobile, fashionable blouse or a trip to an expensive restaurant. They are willing to endure the inconvenience in the form of hard and unpleasant work in order to be able to pamper yourself with things purchased for a salary. And it is these things that they mentally draw in the imagination, when work becomes especially unbearable.
The motivation of a rich person is pleasure from the process.
A rich person, as we have already determined, is one who spends less than he receives. As a result, after a few years, and in some cases even months, the amount that guarantees him full financial freedom will be on the savings accounts and deposits of such a person. And financial freedom is not at all a high profit, as someone might think, but the ability to continue to live at a comfortable level for themselves, while not working.
If such a person continues to work, then he invests almost all of his income in his own business, in banks, in real estate. For him, there is no concept of motivation with things, and not at all because he does not need things, but because he can already afford to buy any thing, you do not need to wait for a salary. And when the real motivation disappears, there is only one reason to work, because the work process itself is a pleasure.
