Getting rich is no joke. It instill a good attitude coupled with sheer determination to get to where you wanted to be. Do you have suggestions on what are the best attitudes to practice for a person to get rich?

Well, if i knew the answer to that question I would be rich now. I do know that one of the elements that seperate and influence people remaining in a particular socioeconomic level is the way in which people in a particular socioeconomic class perceive money. Yup, how we perceive money stongly influences how we treat it. It is about changing the way we perceive money so that we can move up in economic status. Experts argue that poor people perceive money as something to spend. It is not only about needs but about wants. I am sure that you have known someone that makes very little money and yet wants to purchase the best this or that. Designer this, designer that. Sort of like the saying "keeping up with the Joneses." Middle income people tend to perceive money as something to manage. So much for this so much for that, save for retirement, start account for children's education and so on. Rich people perceive money as capital. Something to invest to make more. Plain in simple, they look at how their expenditure is going to make them more money. Since these perceptions can also be cultural, changing perception may not be as simple as it seems. But I think that changing our perceptions of money will motivate us to acheive upward mobility in socioeconomic status.

It's not easy to become rich my friend, it is proven by the people who are now being rich. You need hardwork, patience and innovative. I mean follow the pace of the economy. I didn't heard any news about an employee become rich so this maybe apply to businessman or businesswoman. You must also consider this words "Winners never quit, Quitters never win" If you fail for one time don't give up, stand up again and continue until you will get what you want. Don't count how many you fall but continue doing what is right for your success. Learn from mentors experiences on how they manage their business or how they fight the weaknesses they face during their struggle for getting rich.
