Before asking the question “How to become rich in Russia?”, You need to understand what it is - the very wealth that everyone aspires to. It's no secret that everyone needs money different amount. For some, 100 thousand rubles will become an incalculable treasure, and for some, a million dollars will not be enough. How to understand where the wealth line is?

Robert Kiyosaki (millionaire and writer) defined wealth as the amount of free time you can take without working without lowering your standard of living, or the amount of assets that can generate enough passive income.

It turns out that wealth is not a mountain of money, but time is a limited resource. Is it worth spending it on something that does not bring you pleasure?

What prevents us from becoming rich?

Everyone can become a rich person, but why not everyone achieves goals. The causes of poverty can be:

• Laziness;
• Thoughts;
• Criticism (of oneself, the state, others, etc.);
• Complaints;
• Life circumstances.

Are employment and wealth compatible?

If you study the examples of rich people, you will notice that none of them became a millionaire on hired work. All of them were passionate about their work and developed own business. And this is not surprising, hired work has several significant disadvantages:

1. Often hired work is unloved. People do not like their work, work according to strict guidelines and do not have the space to realize their own creativity exchanging your dream and precious time of life for money and working for the success of another person.
2. No free time. You will definitely not be able to manage your time, decide when to work and rest. This will deprive you of many joys and make you feel dependent on circumstances.
3. You are constantly receiving commands. The working hierarchy is built in such a way that someone from above will constantly give you instructions, and you will be forced to obey, even if you do not agree.

Employment stability is an imaginary factor. Remember that the company needs you only as a profit-making tool. As soon as you stop doing this or start to work less efficiently, another employee will appear in your place, and you will either be fired, or demoted or reduced in salary.

Of course, this does not mean that it is worth running right now to write a letter of resignation. Especially if you love your job and you are satisfied with the position you hold. You can also achieve success in hired work if the position implies freedom of choice and independent decision-making. In the end, there is always the opportunity to organize additional passive income for yourself.

Rich Man's Mind

Rich people do not treat money as the main goal of their life. They do not idolize money, do not pray for it, and certainly do not think how they can become rich. For them, money is just a means or a tool to get what they want, opportunities and growth. Money itself has no value, it's just pieces of paper.

The main differences between the rich and the poor are presented in the table.

money karma

It is important to understand that money is energy. Monetary goods come to you in exchange for your useful action. If this exchange of energy does not occur or something is done incorrectly, money energy stagnates and cash flow stops. Money does not like any aggressive or violent energy: deceit, theft, and also violence against oneself.

When you are in the wrong place, do not fulfill your destiny and refuse the function of the creator, you literally force yourself on the mental plane. dedicating time unloved job, working only for money without pleasure and high goals, you will quickly notice how your material affairs will begin to deteriorate, and there will be less and less money.

On a subtle plane, to attract money, stick to the main points:

1. Give 10% of your income to charity and help other people.
2. You honestly see things, do not look for hidden benefits in everything, do not deceive.
3. Give up the principle of "money for the sake of money."

How to become rich from scratch

Many people think that to become rich without higher education, third-party investment, gift from heaven, wealthy benefactors impossible. However, the psychology of money says the opposite: any stubborn person can acquire financial well-being. To do this, you just need to follow a certain scheme.

1. Decide to be successful

Wealth begins with an intention, so start your path to wealth with a decision to become rich, successful and happy man. Be aware of your decision and intention. Now you must always act. Idle lazy pastime is no longer for you.

2. Make a plan and define your goals

The difference between rich people and poor people is that their lives are often scheduled for years to come. They clearly know what they will do in the next 10 or 5 years, in the next year, month, day.

Make a plan for your life too. Decide who you want to be and what you want to achieve 10 years from now. Of course, the goal of making a million dollars may seem unrealistic, especially if you are currently working in a low-paying position. But it doesn't matter! Look at your goal with a cold eye, determine what exactly you need to do to make it a reality. Based on these actions, make a plan for the next 5 years, then for the year, month, week and day.

Now you have a clear algorithm of actions, but a non-abstract goal. Be sure to write down all your plans, they should already have a material embodiment, even if only on paper for now.

Ask yourself two questions more often:

1. What do you want?
2. How to achieve this?

3. Find a role model

It is very difficult to go to wealth blindly and alone. Perhaps the journey along the road of life will turn out to be exciting and an invaluable experience, but it will take a very long time. It is much easier to find an experienced mentor and turn to him for advice, learn from successful experience and get inspired.

If there is no living example and a rich teacher on the horizon yet, examples will help you famous people. Study books about prominent personalities and their path to success, read articles, watch movies. Get an example to look up to.

4. Develop the Habits and Mindset of a Successful Person

After you have found your guiding star in the form of a rich person, study his habits, attitudes and worldview. Try to incorporate them into your life.

Give up complaining, discouragement, the position of the victim. You are the creator of your life!

5. Rethink your social circle

Protect yourself from all the eternally complaining, whining and judging people. Communicating with such people, you yourself become unsuccessful and become infected with a bad mood. Try to spend more time with positive, optimistic people and those who already know how to succeed.

6. Take care of your financial literacy

It is very important to know how to properly manage the money earned. Most people who won the lottery and received a large amount overnight, found themselves in an even more distressed situation than before winning. This is due to the fact that they simply did not know how to properly manage money: they threw it right and left, quickly squandered it, became drug addicts, lost their winnings in the casino. While a financially literate person could easily multiply this money and not need anything until the end of his days.

Basics of financial literacy:

1. Set aside at least 10% of your income. This money should become inviolable. In the future, they will work for you.
2. Get rid of debt. Give at least 20% of every income to pay off debts. Do not take new loans - this is always a liability that takes a lot of strength, energy and Money.
3. Read more books on financial literacy, listen to lectures, attend trainings and master classes. Become an expert on this subject. Compose your financial plan and act. If such planning is too difficult for you, contact a good financial advisor.

7. Invest the accumulated money

Money has to work. Those who store money "for a rainy day" lose it sooner or later. While you are accumulating the right amount for investment, study investing. This issue is very complex and requires attention and careful consideration. You can invest in stocks, mutual funds, real estate, etc.

With proper investment, you can easily reach passive income. In the meantime, there is no money, you can invest your time in education, development and research of new useful information.

8. Be Patient and Don't Give Up

Many successful people once started their journey from scratch, they have faced difficulties more than once, and many have lost everything and started over. If they had stopped then, would they have achieved wealth? No. Success loves the persistent confident people. Don't despair and don't give in bad mood. Remember, tests are given to you so that you become even stronger and more confident.

Once and for all, give up the expectation of quick success!

The rich are very different from the poor in their thinking, habits, attitudes and attitudes towards life in general and towards money in particular. Today, a lot of literature has been written on the topic financial independence and success. Below are the top tips to help you become rich.

Value time and don't miss opportunities

• Give up meaningless entertainment: watching useless TV shows, hanging in social networks etc. Instead, learn how to spend your leisure time usefully: read useful books, visit interesting seminars and courses, spend time with loved ones.
• Rich people always know what they will do today. Make it a rule for yourself to schedule your days and plan.
• Don't give up on the opportunities that life offers you. Success loves decisive purposeful people who know how to properly manage their time, both working and free.

Do what you really enjoy

The difference between successful people and the average lies precisely in the fact that rich people did what they really liked and what they believed in with all their hearts. It is enthusiasm that helps to immerse yourself in work with your head, burn with your work and overcome any obstacles. It gives motivation and desire to move forward.

Laziness, contrary to the opinion of the majority, is not an innate character trait, but the usual lack of motivation and desire to develop in the proposed direction. You can easily cope with laziness - find something you like.

Listen only to the opinions of people whom you respect and consider competent in the area in which they advise. This applies to both requested and unsolicited advice. Do not listen to the opinions of people who have not achieved success.

On the way to wealth, you will often meet people who will laugh at your ideas, envy, whisper behind your back and condemn. This is fine. All rich people have gone through this, because their opinion often differed from the generally accepted. Therefore, having received another advice, think about whether it is worth listening to the opinion of the adviser?

Develop communication skills

The ability to communicate helps to solve many business issues, from finding employees and selling your product, to organizing various events and concluding partnership agreements. It is much easier to develop your business when you have connections and acquaintances.

Capture Ideas

Our mind is always in motion. No one knows when a new brilliant super idea will visit your head, so always carry a notepad with a pen with you in case of such a case. Try to write down all your ideas, because no one knows how successful they are. Later, you can re-read them with a fresh mind and, perhaps, find some interesting "chips" for your business.

Take charge of your life

Stop complaining and whining, meeting obstacles along the way. Realize that you are the creator of your own destiny. No one should bring you wealth on a platter or teach you how to build a business. You alone are responsible for what happens in your life. And only you are responsible for your life.

Rest actively

Life is motion! Therefore, give preference to active rest. It is this kind of rest that rich people prefer to passive.

Watch your health

Among successful people it is difficult to find a person who would not care about their health. On the contrary, rich people are thoughtful about their diet, physical activity, daily routine and timely visits to doctors. They understand that without health it is impossible to work for the benefit of your favorite business and enjoy life. Money can't buy health, so take care of it in advance.

Keep a budget

A successful person can tell to the penny how much he earned and how much he spent and on what exactly. While average people rarely keep a budget and do not know where the gap is hiding in their wallet.

Write down all your expenses and income, starting with even the smallest amounts of a few rubles, ending with large expenses. Today you can do it different ways: using a notebook, a regular Excel spreadsheet on a computer, various computer programs, mobile applications etc. Choose the most convenient way for you. After a few months, you will already be able to draw conclusions about where your money goes and whether you are spending it wisely. It will be possible to highlight waste and reduce their number, to understand what you can save on.

By tracking the dynamics of expenses and income, you can plan your future expenses. Some sources recommend doing this in a 60/25/25 ratio:

• Where 25% of the money is set aside as an emergency reserve,
• another 25% is spent on entertainment,
• and 60% for mandatory needs.

This balance works if you are not in debt. If the income is still not very high and 25% is a very sensitive amount, you need to save at least 10%.

Get out of your comfort zone

If you are still not rich, then you are doing something wrong and you need to change the current situation. To do this, you need to get out of your comfort zone. Do what you are not used to doing, learn new things, look at things differently and step towards your fears and concerns.

Fight your fears

Fears need to be dealt with. To do this, write down all your fears on a piece of paper, read the list and think about what you can do with them. Sometimes fear can be destroyed by touching it, that is, by doing what you are afraid of. In some cases, you can seek help from a specialist. The psychologist will tell you how to properly deal with your fears.

Always learn new things

Don't stop learning! Only development and endless growth will lead you to wealth. Learn the art of money management, marketing, business literature, oratory. In a word, everything that develops you as a person and a professional.

Accept Trials with Gratitude

The fact that something doesn’t work out for you is not a reason to be upset, and even more so to lose heart and complain about life. Look at the world from a different angle. Accept trials with gratitude as a chance to become even better, stronger, and happier through obstacles.

Cultivate selflessness and generosity

The more you give, the more comes to you - this is the law of attraction of money. Learn to give sincerely and unselfishly, without expecting anything or asking for anything in return. The more you help other people, the higher your emotional and spiritual uplift becomes, your monetary karma improves.

Keep your plans private

Don't talk about your ideas. How less people know about your plans, the more likely they are to come true. And it's not all about superstition. Just talking about your intentions, you scatter the energy given to you to implement the idea. As a result, when it comes to realization, you may not have enough of this splashed energy.

Stand up for your position

All rich people face resistance outside world Therefore, it is very important to be moderately tough and defend your positions. You need to start now: politely but persistently report if you don’t like something. Do not allow for your part boorish behavior but don't be too soft either.

Live within your means

By keeping a budget, you know exactly what you can afford and what you can't. Never get into debt to buy an apartment, a car or another gadget - this is a typical poor man's syndrome. Carefully plan your purchases, get rid of frivolous spending and excesses. Buy only what your wallet allows. Remember, money is very fond of counting and rational planning.

Get rid of the cult of money

Money is far from the main thing in the world. Yes, they provide opportunities, development, comfortable life, trips. But they do not bring happiness to life. Learn to be a happy person without money, then they will reach out to you. And the wrong attitude to banknotes can only bring misfortune and grief.

Accept money from different sources

Money can come not only as a salary. Gifts, various discounts, offers and even help are all manifestations of the energy of abundance. Accept everything that comes into your life with great gratitude and love. Never refuse the surprises of fate, so you help yourself not only to open the channel for receiving blessings even more, but also increase the abundance of your giver.

Believe in yourself

It's simple, if you don't believe in yourself, nothing will work! Rich people rely only on their own strength, and not on luck.

Don't Forget Other Areas of Life

Having a career and owning your own business is good, but don't forget to spend time with your family, meet friends, and have a good and complete rest. Pay attention evenly to all spheres of life - this will make your life full and fulfilling.

Create passive income

Invest money and make it work for you. It can be interest from the bank, dividends, network marketing, property rentals, etc. Explore all possible options receiving passive income and create it. Ideally, if it gradually becomes your main income, freeing up time for development, new projects and travel.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes

There is nothing wrong with mistakes, they help to draw conclusions and find the right path. Do not stop acting, making mistakes, gaining experience and winning victories.

Work on self-esteem

In fact, there will always be as much money in your account as you allow yourself. Therefore, if now you are living from penny to penny, think about whether everything is in order with your self-esteem?

Try something new

It is not enough to create a successful business. You always need to come up with something new, introduce new schemes, change the usual methods. There must always be room for innovation in your business.

How to become a rich and successful woman

How do women get rich? Many will answer this question that in order to achieve success and wealth, a woman needs to successfully marry, and even better, successfully divorce and take away ex-husband half of the state. Of course, in some situations, such schemes work, but today a woman may well succeed on her own without the help of a man.

So how do you become a rich woman? The answer to this question has already been given in this article, the rules and algorithms of actions described above are equally effective for both men and women. The only thing I would like to wish to lovely ladies is to preserve their natural femininity, softness and beauty, without becoming like the harsh business games of men. After all, it is in femininity that the key to happiness lies in all other areas of life, including personal.

How to help your husband become successful

Not all women decide to achieve wealth on their own. Many want to do it with the hands of their man. To help a man achieve more, follow these rules:

1. Do not put pressure on a man and do not "cut" him for mistakes. Your desires are your desires, not his. In fact, he does not owe you anything, so you should not demand something or reproach your husband. So you will only discourage the desire to do something for you.
2. Create an information field around you. Learn about wealth, money and finance. Put the principles of wealth into practice. You will not notice how your man pulls himself up, seduced by your burning eyes and dedication.
3. Listen and develop intuition. In a situation where a man takes on the role of the main breadwinner of the family, all a woman can do is tell him about her premonitions. It just so happened that women feel the world thinner than men.

Wealth and success is not such an unattainable goal. Believe in yourself, be persistent and positive and then everything will definitely work out.

Every businessman, as a rule, would not refuse to become even richer, therefore a large number of people are constantly in search of a “recipe for wealth”, thanks to which they could fulfill their desires, they can help with this. Let's try to find a recipe for wealth together with famous authors summarizing their advice.

advice from the rich and successful businessmen

It is not worth listing specific authors, since there are quite a lot of them (it is worth remembering only the most famous ones, such as Kiyosaki, Mandino, Carnegie), focusing on those recommendations that are quite often repeated among many "popular" financial professionals. So, the tips of the rich and successful include:

It is worth analyzing in more detail these tips of the rich and successful.

The ability to manage people. The main skill here is the ability to spend much less than you earn, and the ability to invest the excess of your funds in such a way that this money can generate income. To achieve this, it is necessary to initially increase own level financial literacy. This can be done by attending special seminars and courses that are held in major cities, or by reading the information in the textbooks, if for some reason these seminars are not available to you, which are also attended by successful people. Not knowing how to manage your money, and not understanding them true role in this world, you can hardly classify yourself as a successful person, because all successful people know a lot about money.

The ability to manage your time. Without this skill, your life can turn into an endless run that will take place between home, work, a million different things. At work, a large number of people can spin around you, and by the evening you will no longer have the strength to crawl to the store, then home, where you need to cook dinner and check on the children's lessons, and eventually fall asleep until morning. And in the morning everything will start in a new way. This way of life is found among many people, but there are also those units for whom a free minute of time is not the ultimate dream, because free time appears exactly when a person needs it. As a rule, wealthy people can afford the amount of free time needed to complete an idea.

Work for pleasure. Successful people know a lot about work. For many, for a start, it is worth at least starting to work, and understanding the fact that work does not start exactly at nine in the morning, and does not end as soon as the clock strikes 18 o'clock. Rich people hatch their business ideas even at a time when they are not directly thinking about this business. If your work starts and ends purely on schedule, then we can say that this is the time that was thrown out of life.

Tips from rich and successful businessmen include presentation skills and public speaking. According to the observations of various authors, the category of people who are able to speak publicly, present themselves and their goods are twice as successful as their colleagues with the same work experience and education.

Rich people know how to plan. Absolutely all people make plans, but some of them are successful, while others are failures. Those people who know how to draw up a clear plan for themselves are much more likely to achieve the desired result. It's definitely worth including a couple of books on planning if you want to educate yourself.

All of the above tips from rich and successful businessmen will help you get on the path of self-improvement that you need to overcome in order to achieve your goals.
