Instead of living paycheck to paycheck<\/a>, racking up credit card debt, and wasting money on stuff that isn\u2019t needed, you can start growing your wealth by changing how you think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n by Napoleon Hill<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u23f1 13 minutes reading time<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udfa7 Audio version available<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Buy on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t need fancy tools or a graduate degree in finance to create a wealth mindset. The only things required are an open mind and a willingness to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is an open mind the first requirement? If you believe that earning money is wrong or opportunities will just magically appear in your lap, it will be almost impossible to achieve what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019re ready to start, here are the steps to start getting the wealth mindset you need to reach for lifelong success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wealth doesn\u2019t appear overnight unless you win the lottery or get an inheritance. Most people in those situations typically lose their money, because they weren\u2019t prepared for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People gain wealth as time passes. Bill Gates didn\u2019t turn into a billionaire because of Microsoft. He created that company with dedication and hard work. As time passed, his efforts produced the wealth he now uses to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It takes patience and perseverance to earn the wealth you want. If you focus on getting rich quickly or fail to take the time to plan your finances, you\u2019ll find it is much harder to achieve a wealth mindset that leads to successful outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After creating Microsoft, and earning billions from his work, Bill Gates started investing his money in other ventures. He turned $9.3 billion in 1994 to $81.6 billion in only two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not taking advantage of the benefits of compound interest<\/a> today, your future won\u2019t have the wealth you want to experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people avoid investing money because it seems complicated or risky. You don\u2019t need to take this step alone! Even Bill Gates worked with Michael Larson<\/a> to produce the wealth he has today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you let your savings sit idle, it can\u2019t grow. Once you have about six months of expenses saved and readily accessible, you will want to start investing for your future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Betting on yourself is one of the best steps you can take when developing a wealth mindset. Your talent and creativity have more value than you likely realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem is that people waste their time scrolling, watching TV, or accepting costs for what they are. When you do that, you\u2019re supporting the wealth mindset of others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
