Wealth File #7
Rich people associate with positive, successful people.
Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.
By T Harv Eker
Successful people look at other successful people as a means
to motivate themselves. They see other successful people as
models to learn from. They say to themselves, “If they can do
it, I can do it.” As I mentioned earlier, modeling is one of the
primary ways that people learn.
Rich people are grateful that others have succeeded before
them so that they now have a blueprint to follow that will
make it easier to attain their own success. Why reinvent the
wheel? There are proven methods for success that work for
virtually everyone who applies them.
Consequently, the fastest and easiest way to create wealth is
to learn exactly how rich people, who are masters of money,
play the game. The goal is to simply model their inner and
outer strategies. It just makes sense: if you take the exact same
actions and have the exact same mind-set, chances are good
you will get the exact same results. That’s what I did and that’s
what this entire book is about.
Contrary to the rich, when poor people hear about other
people’s success, they often judge them, criticize them, mock
them, and try to pull them down to their own level. How many
of you know people like this? How many of you know family
members like this? The question is, how can you possibly learn
from or be inspired by someone you put down?
Whenever I’m introduced to an extremely rich person, I
create a way to get together with them. I want to talk to them,
learn how they think, exchange contacts, and if we
have other things in common, possibly become personal
friends with them.
By the way, if you think I’m wrong for preferring to be
friends with rich people, perhaps you’d rather I pick friends
who are broke? I don’t think so! As I’ve mentioned before,
energy is contagious, and I have no interest in subjecting
myself to theirs!
