What do rich people do that poor people don’t?

Six attributes were highlighted in this article . . .

>> What Rich People Do That Poor People Don’t<<

One of these attributes are that rich people are resourceful.

They don’t make excuses.

“Rich people don’t make excuses. Rich people are relentlessly resourceful, they always figure out a way to succeed and make more money, regardless of their circumstances. When rich people are dealt a bad hand, they don’t blame the dealer, they shut the hell up and still figure out a way to win.”

People can be dealt a bad hand  . . . no doubt about it.

The key?  Do they swallow their bad hand . . . or do they figure out a way to win?

Rich people surround themselves with positive energy and positive people.  There is nothing more destructive to a person’s mindset than to hang with “Debbie Downers”.

Rich people recognize that they are the average of the five people they surround themselves with, so they surround themselves with a rich, successful and powerful bunch.

The wrong person for somebody to turn to for advice and inspiration is the twice bankrupt, beer drinking, couch potato brother-in-law who opines, “that just won’t work”!

Finally, rich people learn from other people’s mistakes. I routinely purchase training courses to build my network marketing business.

Folks putting together these courses have already walked the trail and made the mistakes.

Who better to teach me how to expand and improve my business than somebody who has been there already?

But, the most important piece of advice may well be the last. While this article centers around “rich” as defined by wealth, I have been associated with “rich” people who were rich in attitude, not finances.

“What rich people do that poor people don’t — they realize they are rich before they ever make any money at all, then they work every damn day to create a reality that matches the wealth in their mind.”

If you’re building a passive income network marketing business, you probably have wondered about millennials.

Or, maybe you are a millennial wondering about starting a business . . .

I recently came across an article highlighting four reasons why millennials should consider starting a business.

First, “You’re not a good employee and don’t like working for anyone else.” Ahhh? You think this applies just to millennials? Guess again!

If you find that pit in your stomach every Sunday night as you think about what the week is to bring, it just might be time to do something about it.

Second, “It’s easier than ever to become an entrepreneur, and technology has a lot to do with it.” Expanding a network marketing business using technology is simple . . . and scalable.

Third, “You’re thinking about leaving your day job to pursue your passion full-time. As a young, aspiring entrepreneur, focus on how that passion is going to help other people.” There are plenty of network marketing options that can both appeal to your passion, and help other people.

Health and wellness, beauty, financial, and travel (my business).

And finally, “You know how to use social media marketing to reach lots of people quickly.” Watching my own kids, millennials wake in the morning with social media and hit the pillow at night after social media.

Whether a millennial or not, the world is wide open and at your fingertips through the proper use of social media to build your business.

Hit me up if you want to discuss business building options . . . whether you are a millennial or not!

The article:  4 Reasons Young People Should Become Entrepreneurs

My consistent counsel to college interns throughout the my professional career was to dual track — have a professional career. But also develop something in addition that could be a financial safety valve,if necessary.

I cautioned these young individuals, at the front of their career, “you might be excited about your career choice now. But when you’re in your 30’s, with a spouse, kids, car and house payments, etc., you don’t want to look in the mirror in the morning and tell yourself how much your hate your job.” Because at that point, the options may be few.

It’s never too late to develop that second option. Seek out the advice of somebody you trust, with demonstrated financial success. And get at it!

Ahhh. Anegada, BVI. Wonder if there is WiFi for my laptop?

“The 9-to-5 Workweek Is Dead. Here’s What’s Next” is the title of a recent article in Inc.com.

As somebody who has worked on my own home business for some time, a flexible schedule is one of the reasons that I settled into a home business.

I control my commute (none!) and I control my schedule.

I transitioned to my home business after a 30 year career, commuting to jobs where schedules were anything but flexible.

While the 9 to 5 work week may be dying, it’s still alive and kicking in many offices.  If not most offices.

What do the entrants into the professional, office world think about flexible schedules?

• 29% of college students think being able to work remotely with a flexible schedule is a right, not a privilege.
• 66% of Millennials say having a boss who doesn’t support flexible schedules has factored into their decision to leave a job.
• 72% of working parents say that people who work flex hours have fewer pay/promotional opportunities.

What do you think?  Do you work in a job with a flexible schedule?  If not, do you wish you could?  If you had a flexible work schedule, what would that mean to you?
