Some of the principles that the world’s richest men practice and what we have much to learn:
Maintain an optimistic mindset: Usually the media is saturated with bad news and failures and omens about the terrible things that can happen. While it is true that there are difficulties, as most are concerned about the “what will happen tomorrow,” the rich keep an optimistic attitude. Always believe and trust that tomorrow will be better focus their energies on finding solutions rather than simply “concern.”
Found in every crisis an opportunity: Though this phrase sounds a little trite, it remains true to every crisis there are always winners and losers. Simply choose which group we want to be. While the majority is suffering and depressed due to the uncertainty, the rich find and offer “alternative” to multiply their wealth.
Do the opposite to what the masses do: To paraphrase Robert Kiyosaki “If you see that all the people going north, then south directed.” Follow the masses is a grave error that the rich do not commit. If the world panic spreads, they will be in a restaurant with friends and advisers by creating and developing strategies to emerge victorious. What such an idea would do something similar with our friends and find alternatives together successfully?
They have a vision and work for it: No greater power in man to dream and pursue their dreams. The rich think big, visualize the possibilities beyond what is “reasonable.” The rich have the power to believe.
Looking for strategic partners: There biggest mistake in life and business to be alone. To be successful you need to have somebody and trust someone. The most successful men in the world are surrounded by smart people and everyone has at least one mentor. Those people of confidence that may help maintain the correct heading north.
The rich pay themselves first, pay yourself first does not mean that then you run with your profits to buy a TV or a car. That is to pay someone else. Pay yourself means using the money to invest in such a way that small monthly investment will represent a long-term economic benefit for you and your family. What do you do when you receive your paycheck? What do you do with the profits of your business? If you really want to be rich, you start to act differently.
Know the difference between working hard and working smart: You can go at your job 12 or 14 hours a day and earn a few extra dollars. Or you can learn to use your talent, learn another language, professionalization in some area of business or start your own blog on the Internet to turn your intelligence in revenue. The important thing is not doing things correctly but “do the right thing.”
They have an attitude of learners: The rich learning every day and have no problem with changing their paradigms about business. If something does not work, just try something else. I am not speaking only of “test” but to learn and improve every day. The rich always have a book in hand and absorb every principle that this contains.
Dress for success: Have you seen today in the mirror? See the image of a man or woman of success. Do you feel like a man or woman to succeed? If not, it’s time to begin to transform yourself and become what you really want to see in the mirror. It seems a simple principle, but what we are inside is what will reflect on the outside.
Develop financial intelligence: Times have changed and how the business functioned for 50 years or 20 years ago is very different than they are now. In fact we could say the same crisis that the business will be different within 2 to 5 years. Financial intelligence is learning to develop skills in money management. Where to invest, how to invest and when to invest are some basic things that everyone should learn. The rich have a remarkable ability to cope with the changes and adapt quickly. While some are wondering why things have changed and to resist change, they will already be planning their new business strategies.
