10 Steps to Become Poor Until You Die

Poor people are self-made deliberately or involuntarily, and you will hold on asking these questions,

• Why are some people poor? 
• If everyone needs to be financially successful, why isn't everyone wealthy? 

The answer isn't a simple one. Of course, there are environmental reasons, like living in an area with too much competition for jobs, having no mentors, and not having access to a good education. Of course, institutional racism and sexism exist, and as they say, it does take money to make money.

But sometimes, being poor is a state of mind. Sometimes, being poor seeps into your brain and takes over. I have created this list to help show some of the destructive behaviors, mistakes, and ideologies that people fall into that may keep them from achieving success.

Step #10: Do not Manage your State of Mind

Firstly what is "State"? I mean your physiological and emotional state. You can be the most talented person in the world, but if you are in a disempowered emotional state, you can't achieve crap. South Africa is one good example, with most poor people because they cannot their state of mind. Most Africans are very creative. They do all the work for their boss, but their emotion keeps them in the same jobs forever because they think that is where they belong.

The mind is like a car engine. If you feed it poor food/information will not give good feedback. This will influence your decisions and undermine your ability to reach your aspirations and goals. If you are continually feeling powerless, and you don't fight that feeling, then you are only setting yourself up for failure.

If you can ably achieve, an empowering state of mind will give you the mental edge and attitude you need to succeed. When something goes wrong, most people create a bullshit story to justify their inability to have what they want. It stops them from being honest with themselves and seeing things as they are.

If you want to continue to have a poor state of mind, don't make the following list of empowering mindsets for business: certainty, confidence, clarity, courage, conviction, ambition, and passion.

Step #9 Set your Goals Too Low or Average

Most people are not successful because they set their goals too high and therefore miss them; it's because they set their goals too low and hit them. If your goals are small and you keep running them, you must raise your standards and ambitions. You must continue to be dedicated to going further than those around you. Don't set your goal for average because average sucks. For example, if your goal is to get metric or STD 10 visible, you will achieve that, but once you reach it, what next.

On the other hand, don't set your goals so high that they become unrealistic because people abandon unrealistic goals. Instead, set your goals just above your comfort zone so that they inspire you to continue working toward them. The right plan will help secure a better future for yourself and your family. The proper program will bring you wealth. Money is simply a way of achieving freedom.

For example, if you want to be a millionaire at the stage you are currently in, this goal might look unrealistic, which will keep you working on it for a very long time until you closely achieve it. But at least you may have 1 million, which keeps you from being poor.

Step #8 Become too religious

Scientists suggest that religious beliefs help people cope in inhospitable habitats. When life is challenging or uncertain, people believe in big gods,' said Russell Gray, a professor at the University of Auckland and a founding director of the Max Planck Institute for History and the Sciences in Jena, Germany. Most people believe God can make you happy, but once they join the church, they get The study uncovered a link between belief in God and other societal characteristics, such as a strong social hierarchy.

'Prosocial behavior [actions that help others] helps people do well in harsh or unpredictable environments.'

Step #7 Choose Bad Mentors

You must be careful who you choose as your mentor. People without money are to offer their advice, and the world is full of people who claim to be life coaches, business coaches, or success coaches. The scary thing is that most of them haven't achieved anything. If you find a life coach online, how do you know they've accomplished something?

Poor people always try to create something spectacular and new to make their fortune. This is the biggest trap you face as you work toward your goals. Instead of something new, you need a proven system that you know works and will help you gain success.

Warren Buffet once said: "When I buy a business, I want to make sure that the system is so good that even an idiot can run it because sooner or later, one will." I believe this statement, so I recommend the Straight Line System. It's so simple that it's being used to help hundreds of struggling companies and thousands of people to become wealthy.

Step #6 Slave Away For A Paycheck

There are only two jobs where you can make real money if you work for someone else:

• If you work in a position that gives you heavy commissions.
• If you work in the investment banking industry and can leverage off of a huge company's assets.

Other than these two exceptions, you must own your own business if you really want to get ahead in life. I am not saying that you need to quit your job immediately. That is not what I'm writing this for. Instead, I'm writing this to give you the mindsets you must have to start your own successful business without quitting your job, without putting up a lot of money, and how to raise (not borrow) money cheaply.

At some point, if you want to be wealthy, you have to get into your own business. Otherwise, you are a pawn in someone else's game of chess.

Step #5 Play the blame game

One of the most destructive human pastimes is playing the blame game. It has been responsible for mass casualties of war, regrettable acts of road rage, and on a broad interpersonal level (social, familial, and work-related), a considerable amount of human frustration and unhappiness. The blame game consists of blaming another person for an event or state of affairs thought to be undesirable and persisting in it instead of proactively making changes to ameliorate the situation. You blame anyone and everyone for why you don't have what you want. You blame the government, your family, your boss, the economy, and the Wall Street people. If you do this, you are powerless to achieve success.

Step #4 Try To Reinvent The Wheel

Poor people always try to create something spectacular and new to make their fortune. This is the biggest trap you face as you work toward your goals. Instead of something new, you need a proven system that you know works and will help you gain success.

Warren Buffet once said: "When I buy a business, I want to make sure that the system is so good that even an idiot can run it because sooner or later, one will." I believe this statement, so I recommend the Straight Line System. It's so simple that it's being used to help hundreds of struggling companies and thousands of people to become wealthy.

What is the system that you have in place? Are you trying to reinvent the wheel, or do you have one that is proven?

Step #3 Lousy at Business

If you don't have any business experience, it's nothing to be ashamed of. No one is born with business skills. Someone has to teach or show you the ropes. This is why you must be careful when choosing your mentor. You want to make sure that you're getting the best information available. 

Step #2 Save Too Little or Don't Save at All

The idea that you can save too much has popular appeal because most people prefer to enjoy their incomes now rather than save it for retirement. If you're like most folks, your savings habits could improve. At the end of the day, saving for retirement is a lot like having an insurance policy. In an ideal world, you will never need it, but if the day comes when you do, you'll be glad you have it available. 

Step #1 Quit at School

"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world," said Nelson Mandela. Your parents nagged you about the importance of getting an education. Well, guess what? They were right. But you do the opposite quit. The difference in lifetime earnings between a typical high school graduate and a typical college grad with a bachelor's degree is staggering. Over a 40-year career, a worker with a bachelor's will earn R1 million more than a worker with just a high school diploma.

As you mull over what to study, consider what majors are more likely to lead to a lucrative career. (Hint: Think about studying finance, pharmacy, nursing, or anything computer-related Simply going back to school doesn't guarantee a bigger paycheck.
