A rich life is the most interesting thing about blogs. Nine important rules of rich people
Who doesn't dream get rich? Surely in the head of each of us there are thoughts about what life could be like if we were financially independent. Dreams of wealth can be turned into goals, and the goals, in turn, can be accompanied by your activity in order to achieve a positive result.
After studying a lot of different information on the network, we decided to draw up a specific instruction, which can be your plan of action.
Rich life
- It is necessary to start with the transformation of the dream into a goal and concretization. It's just that this is not a specific goal, it's better to try to set a bar for yourself, for example $ 3,000 a month, and then proceed to achieve this goal. It is very important not to lower the bar, but it is better to even raise it as it approaches. In addition, set a time frame so as not to stretch the achievement of the goal.
- Money is the result of your efforts and the more you work, the faster you will begin to receive high profits. As the saying goes, “You can’t pull a fish out of a pond without labor,” therefore, on the path to achieving financial independence, you must be prepared for labor contributions.
- Contacts of a business person is also a certain factor in the development of his activities. The more acquaintances you have, the easier it will be for you to develop, because in addition to the fact that they can become your clients, they can advise you to their friends, which will allow you to receive interested clients.
- As you make contacts and increase the number of your acquaintances, you should definitely set your own priorities. Wealthy people necessarily care about their surroundings, and try to associate closely only with those who have a similar level of knowledge and pursue the same goals.
- Start learning, regardless of your level of knowledge and other criteria. There is no such thing as a lot of knowledge, each information can be “supported” by broader knowledge or relevant information. No need to end educational institution, you can use self-education.
- you already want get rich? Then do not put off your business for tomorrow, set a goal and start looking for the best way to achieve success. Throughout life, many people dream of a wealthy life, but only a few make at least some attempts to successfully earn money.
- Laziness, which you can refer to in the process of achieving success, is just a bad motivation. If you learn to stimulate your activity, you will be able to overcome your laziness, and this is the most important moment for entrepreneurs.
- The life of each of us is accompanied by various problems, and doing business they become at least twice as many. You should not “throw” the solution of problems into the lowest “box”, it is better to solve them right away. By not postponing problems, you can avoid their development.
- Starting to strive for wealth, try not to rely on other people, rather strive to develop activities for yourself. Working for "uncle" can be much easier, but at the same time, you must understand that you are not the main profit of the company, which means that this is not the best way to get rich.
- Having opened own business, regardless of the chosen sphere, you need to strive to ensure its passivity. In other words, you should try to minimize your own labor input and make the business system work with little or no input from you.
The information in this article can be very useful for aspiring entrepreneurs. Remember, our success depends only on us, and how much we strive for it will affect the results.

Yes, yes, the ability to live in wealth is indeed the most amazing secret of the psychology of a truly wealthy person and the secret of increasing one's property and Money. Why don't people who already have funds multiply them? Can not? It seems they are hoarding and hoarding, but you see, the amount is still the same - no increase, no scope ... And why, even having funds, people do not know how to use them so that they bring joy? Why?!
And because we are not taught, we are not accustomed to think or feel "richly", as well-to-do people think and feel, all the more we do not know how to fantasize and dream "richly". We do not have the psychology of the rich, because from generation to generation, all our private property was a dress and socks, a blanket with a pillow. Even a bicycle with a tape recorder was considered a rarity, let alone a car, a summer house, at least Levi Strous jeans! In the West, a long time ago, private property in the form of movable and immovable property existed, was inherited, family silver was in almost every house. And with us, newlyweds were forced to buy aluminum (rarely cupronickel) spoons and forks, because their parents would like to give, but they themselves did not have! But what about spoons? Remember how people around Moscow with rolls toilet paper They walked around their necks and took care of packs of Indian tea with an elephant, hid them in the far corner of the box? And they were happy about it! Can you imagine how they could dream of wealth? In pink light, rolls of toilet paper would fall on your head out of thin air, and kitchen table tea bags with blue elephants would materialize. Here you have all the dreams of wealth! ..
No, you need to learn how to dream correctly - with breadth, scope, with chic-brilliance! True, why? We already know that even a couple of thousand “greenies” would bring us happiness ... Well, do we yearn for them until we drop?!
Nonsense! Let's read about smart people and we will learn for ourselves how to dream competently and how to make a dream work - turn fantasies into reality. Merchant secrets people did not take away with them, they left them to their descendants.
Secret one. How the poor man imagined himself to be rich
Savelich, the old attendant of the famous Moscow Sandunovsky baths, entered the utility room and put in the common treasury "red":
- Here's my contribution. I don't work anymore today. I’ll rest, and in the soap-steam room, let the young people work hard, indulge customers.
- Why don't you want to work? - the senior attendant Rebrov was surprised. - And where did the whole ten come from at the beginning of the day?
- The shopkeeper Tyatin gave me a hundred-dollar bill for my services!
- It can not be! For what?!
- You won't believe it, Reby! I just poked my head into the steam room, where the rich man Putyatin took a steam bath, and here is Semka Tyatin. He says: “Don't touch anything, uncle! Give me a piece of Putyatinsky broom and put it on the shelves where the rich man was lying! And this steward puts me here. Can you imagine?!
- I've lost my mind! Why climb on a dirty shelf and whip with a shabby broom - and even for such money ?!
- That's right, I'm off! When I gave him a couple, I heard him, poor fellow, whisper hotly like this: “I am the rich Putyatin! I am a rich man Putyatin!
Rebrov crossed himself:
- Insane, not otherwise! It's not the first time I hear about him. Once my friend, a waiter in a merchant's club, told how this very Tyatin took a dirty, unwashed plate from him for a lot of money and demanded to put fried tuna there. And there was just a Putyatin plate, the rich man also ate fried tuna before ...
- Are you talking about the eccentricities of the shopkeeper Tyatin? - put in a young attendant Seryozhka. - And the clerk from Kuznetsky Most told me about him. Tyatin bought a dark blue jacket from him, exactly the same as from Ivan Ivanovich Putyatin himself. The shopkeeper turned around in front of the mirror for half an hour and kept saying: “I am the rich Putyatin!” - and then he went to the barber shop opposite and ordered to cut his hair exactly like Putyatin.
Maybe some kind of magic? Rebrov crossed himself again. - Maybe this Tyatin wants to bring damage to Ivan Ivanovich?
- Or maybe he wants to rob Putyatin? Seryozhka gasped, and his eyes lit up. - It is necessary to go to the police, and even better to hire a private detective!
- One prank on your mind! Rebrov barked. - Eco invented - a private detective! Well, run to the steam room, there is up to your neck! - And Rebrov turned to Savelich: - You have been serving us for half a century, what do you say? Maybe talk to Putyatin himself, eh?
- And what to say? the old attendant chuckled. - There is no sedition in the fact that some shopkeeper wanted to take a steam bath on Putyatin's favorite shelf. Anyone can wash in Sanduny. Besides, all of a sudden they, the merchants, bet on a bet? They now love to argue about everything and beat hands. It's not our business. Let's change it for clarity...
So they did. And the shopkeeper Tyatin walked around Moscow for a couple of years, muttering: “I am the rich Putyatin!” He dined in the same restaurants as the rich man, dressed in the same way, made friends with the company, where the millionaire Ivan Ivanovich was a member, and went to theaters with him. Adopted the habits and manners of Putyatin. All of Moscow openly laughed at poor Tyatin, but stopped after a couple of years. Yes, and how to scoff, if Tyatin earned his first million, and then another? Now he proudly declared himself:
- I am a rich man Tyatin!
* * *
What is the point here? In imitation, in similarity. And like, as you know, leads to like. So the imitation of the habits, manners, life of the millionaire Putyatin led the shopkeeper Tyatin to real wealth. But the main thing that led to millions was a simple thought: “I am a rich man!” Tyatin began not only to live like a millionaire, but also to think like one. Look at life from the angle of a wealthy person, to dream about what truly wealthy people dream about. That is, he began to live according to the formula of wealth - as if he already had it. This became the “program of life”. However, we will talk about psychological self-programming later, in the second part of the book. And now - about those who have known about these programs for a long time.
Memo:
I am a rich man Putyatin!
Recipe twenty-five: find a guide to the world of wealth
Look at the one who lives well. Where and how he dresses, what he likes to eat, where he goes, who he is friends with, etc. Try to do at least one thing in the same way: buy clothes in the same rich store (a fake from the market will not work), read a book that he liked (in the same binding, and not in paperback), make friends with his friend (try unobtrusively), etc. In a word, declare to fate that you are like him. Yes, what is the difference? He is the rich man Putyatin, and you are the rich man Tyatin! It's just your way.
Second secret. Happiness according to Balzaminov: the rules of life for rich people
For a decade now, television has been showing the people three imperishable classic comedy films: The Diamond Hand, The White Sun of the Desert, and Balzaminov's Marriage. We watch them almost all our lives, quote our favorite phrases, sing songs like “But we don’t care” and “Your honor, lady luck” ... But who ever thought that they contain some kind of “life programs”? Do not laugh, dear readers! Even the sweet and naive comedy directed by Konstantin Voinov "Balzaminov's Marriage" is actually a guide to action.
As you know, Misha Balzaminov is the hero of several plays by the great playwright Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky, on which the script of the famous film was written. And this same Misha dreamed of getting married.
- What is she like? - his mother was interested in the bride.
- I do not know! - frankly answered the son. - To me, mother, all rich brides seem to be beautiful.
That is, in fact, Misha dreamed not of marriage, but of wealth. However, you can dream about anything. The main thing is to understand the rules under which these very “dreams” turn into reality. Or - do not turn. That is to say, one must learn to dream wisely. And what kind of thing is this - a dream? It seems that in our material world a thing of little use. Yes, anyone from the cradle knows: “The business is first of all”, “The business must be done, gentlemen!”, “It will be for you according to your business.” And what about the dream?
- Where to put them, such and such? - Mother Balzaminova asked about her eternally fantasizing son.
But it turns out that dreamers have their own fantasy angels on their packages. Moreover, the sprouts of reality are already ripening in dreams, as if a dream - some not yet quite obvious, but already an order to the heavenly office. The playwright of the nineteenth century, Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky, the author of plays based on which a century later, in 1965, the brilliant director Konstantin Voinov shot his masterpiece about Balzaminov, perfectly understood the power of dreams. Surprisingly, in his plays, this coolest playwright-everyday writer constantly pursued an idea that was completely seditious for realism: it is people's dreams that give rise to and shape their future life.
Almost all of your favorite heroes, and especially the heroines of Ostrovsky, dream. And how! The detailed, almost tangible dreams of Lipochka from The Bankrut make her the mistress of a "newfangled" merchant's house. But Katerina's feverish dreams in The Thunderstorm about unearthly beauty and sinless love, on the contrary, sadly, take her away from the earthly sinful world. The trilogy about Balzaminov especially clearly illustrates the mechanism of dreams in human life.
Real dreams are heaven and hell at the same time, the excitement of the player and the timid movements of the soul, afraid to be born. All this was masterfully and touchingly played in the film by Georgy Vitsin, a failed tragedian, inscribed in the Procrustean bed of comedies. At first, Misha dreamed of him "on a little one."
And I don't need much. I'm not chasing big things, I guess," he sighed. - Give me something!
"At least that" fate gave. They invited Misha and his mother to a rich house (a merchant's daughter worth 300,000 dowry!). And they didn't take it too badly at first. But the marriage never took place. Moreover, after the reception, Misha himself was thrown out. Why is this? But is it not because the “order of a dream” was not clear: what to give if a person asks for “at least something”? "Everything is a cloud!" - how his mother sighed.
It turns out that before sending the “order” of your dream to the heavenly office, you need to fill out an “order form”: determine for yourself in more detail what you want to receive from your dream, present it in detail. Science now calls this principle the visualization of a dream, but oh scientific approach we will talk in detail later (see the second part of this book). In the 19th century, the playwright Ostrovsky, of course, did not know such a term, but he understood very well: the principle works.
Let's return to Balzaminov. After all, there was a second hitch, from which at first his dream did not work - it did not materialize in marriage. Yes, he was going to find a richer wife, but something had to be done with wealth. And what - poor Misha could not even imagine.
“Now I get 120 rubles a year,” he complained to his mother. - And what about 300 thousand? What then?
It turns out that Misha was not ready to accept or spend the bride's capital. He had no scope, no ideas. Biggest dream: “And everything seems to me, mama, that we have a stone house!”
But is it just the scope? The house is very down to earth. And since it is mundane, one would have to imagine this whole house in detail, that is, visualize it. But this, we already know, Misha does not do.
Why doesn't he present everything in detail? He can't do it! The poor have not seen the richest houses - with luxurious interiors, rich environment, parquet floors and crystal chandeliers. Here is the second conclusion for you: if you want your dream to come true, find out everything about it in more detail. If you dream - fantasize on a grand scale: excitement is better than timidity in dreams. We know: you can’t spoil porridge with butter!
But where to get it, excitement? And where will the knowledge about a beautiful, rich life come from? Especially if you, like Balzaminov, live on the outskirts of the city, in a house for 20 years without major repairs, on a tiny salary. Just think, almost two centuries have passed, but what has changed in the life of an ordinary person? .. In provincial towns, there are still the same houses with a leaking roof, dilapidated fences, unpaved streets - and the same poverty.
- The rich, mother, think differently! - the newly-minted philosopher Misha once said.
And he was 1000% right! Our poor thoughts run like cockroaches around the table, the refrigerator, the wholesale market. Where can I buy more and cheaper? Yes, as soon as possible! So we rush to the optushka, pushing everyone there with our elbows, dragging goods home, clogging the refrigerator, hanging cabinets. We fall into a chair with relief - thank God, the house is full! Then we open the refrigerator and sigh: the food, it seems, is no longer of high quality (the expiration date has expired), and although the wardrobe is stuffed so that it does not close, there is still nothing to wear to the theater.
In a word, the money was spent, and everything is down the drain! And why? They were in a hurry to grab it, they bought it cheaply ... Have you ever, at least in the movies, seen rich people running around the optushki or taking it without looking? Yes, they will look at everything for their money, sniff it. They plan special days for their "bourgeois shopping". No, Misha Balzaminov is right, a hundred times right:
- I'm not used to thinking, mama, how the rich think. Everyone thinks like a poor person. Here is wealth in the head and does not fit!
Of course, Ostrovsky wrote plays in the second half of the 19th century, and now we live in the 21st century, and even in a market with competition. But have they learned to think “richly”? Here is a typical example. A friend of mine noticed a strange phenomenon. She traveled for a long time to buy food and things in the wholesale markets. There was barely enough money. Suddenly, a small shop was opened in her house. As she passed by, she began to go there more and more often. The goods there were more expensive than at the optushka, but obviously more decent. A month later, she stated with bewilderment - there was enough money for shopping in the store, without trips to the market. And without looking for additional income. They just increased the salary a little, the husband was paid for the unpaid old job.
A couple of months later, a decent supermarket was opened in the new house. There the choice was really quite for the rich. But you go once - pulls in the second. And a friend noticed with surprise that she had enough money even for shopping in the “super”. And again, neither she nor her husband had to look for a second job. The director simply asked her to give paid consultations to the children of her friends (my friend is a teacher at a music school).
But somehow she again rushed to the optushka, and she was sucked in.
"We need to stop wasting money!" she said. - What if there will be less money tomorrow?
So she ran for a month - and found out: again there was enough money only for wholesale and market rows. Paradoxical pattern, right? So the more you spend, the more more money comes. Just the water cycle in nature. Or money in your pocket. Who likes what. How much it poured out, so it poured out. You aspire to the supermarket - and as much money as is enough for it.
Drawn to the wholesale market - you see, and money only for him. Why?! And simply - according to your needs. Of course, no one has seen the heavenly alignments, but it turns out that they are guided by the well-known principle of “development of capital investments”. If you don't master it, they won't give you more.
And again Misha Balzaminov comes to mind. When he was announced the amount of the dowry of the next bride, he almost lost his senses - all at once:
- Such money, perhaps, you will not live!
And yet he did not live, because this bride, too, was off the hook. And all why? Of course, again, he did not have a specific task, but he also overcame doubts. And there is no doubt about it! In the heavenly office, things are simple: if in doubt, no one will exhort; If you don't live, you won't give. Why waste a resource to translate?
In a word, from the stories with Balzaminov, the conclusion is this: define a goal for yourself, do not be afraid to overdo it, do not hesitate and think and dream that you are already rich. If you have a hundred rubles in your pocket, think that you can take the whole world and a supermarket to boot.
If you want to publish a book, come up with a dozen plots, which then themselves will require you to write them down. And if you want to imagine yourself healthy - imagine that you are running along a forest alley in Reebok or Adidas sneakers. As a healthy person, you can afford it. And as a rich man, you have enough money for the coolest super sneakers. And then really run somehow at least around the house in the morning, at least once for a test, at least for now in old sneakers. Like it - buy sneakers. Push the dream!
Take an example from Balzaminov. In the end, he once again looked for a bride for himself and daydreamed about a huge garden, a mansion with gazebos, crystal glasses and sparkling chandeliers. About taking a real cook, footman and valet instead of one uneducated cook Matryona. In a word, in a dream he gave out all the scope that he was capable of, and stopped doubting: he decided that any rich bride would agree to go for him. And I found a match!
The naive Misha had only one reservation in his dreams. With any rich bride, Mishin's mother had to live with him.
“And I don’t need that I’m rich,” he said. - And to you, mother, I always respectfully.
Clear? You can dream and bring into life any dream - as long as it does not harm your relatives and good people.
Won't hurt? Then dream. To health and happiness. And whatever your heart desires.
Memo:
The rich think differently. I'm not used to thinking how rich people are, so wealth in my head does not fit ...
Recipe twenty-six:
Get your future wealth in your head. Learn to think like wealthy people.
Don't want everything. Pick one. Climb one peak, as the psychologists say. Define for yourself in more detail what you want to get from your dream, imagine it in detail. As it will be? What does it look like? What is its size, color, smell, etc.? What will you say when you see this? Well, and so on - brighter in colors, sounds, aromas.
If you want your dream to come true, find out more about it. If you dream - fantasize on a grand scale: excitement is better than timidity in dreams.
Remember the principle of “investment development”: the more you spend, the more money the heavenly office will issue.
Do not under any circumstances doubt anything. In the heavenly office, things are simple: if in doubt, no one will exhort; If you don't live, you won't give. Why waste a resource to translate?
Remember: you can dream and implement any dream - as long as it does not hurt your family and other good people!
Secret third. Losers and chronophages
So, you want to become rich, keep savings and increase them. You really, really want this. So what about those around you? Of course, we are not talking here about those who envy you or, even worse, invite all sorts of misfortunes on your head. These envious, enemies and ill-wishers are familiar and understandable to you. And you know very well how to treat them. It is best to smile calmly and say to all of them (mentally): do not wait!
But now we are talking about others - about those who are part of your family and a narrow circle of real friends (because there are never many real ones!). How do they feel about wealth, your dreams and money itself, finally? Do not be lazy - look around and analyze. Maybe your mother is deeply convinced that since you bought new vacuum cleaner what else do you want? Yes, you just rage with fat! She generally managed with a broom, and cleaned the rug in the snow. And your beloved girlfriend sincerely believes that the next series of "Adjutants of Love" or "Don't Be Born Beautiful", viewed while eating pizza at home in the evening, is much more pleasant than running around for a salary. Well, your mother-in-law generally washes her hands after she touches the bill, because she is firmly convinced that money is dirt!
Well, how to think about wealth with such relatives and friends?!
Difficult, of course. But still possible. First of all, you need to talk with relatives, trying to convince them that being rich is not harmful, not shameful and possible (see "unique thesis" at the beginning of this book), that money itself is not evil, not an infection, not dirt, but simply a means of payment, or rather, of exchange: after all, it is money that we exchange for something useful, pleasant, and in general for the very thing that we dreamed about. However, you should know that almost a quarter of our people to this day sincerely consider wealth to be evil, and your relatives and friends may well be in this fourth part. And then what?
No matter how strange it may seem, it is useless to convince such people: they are so programmed by Heaven, and you will not do anything here, only fray your nerves and ruin relationships. I advise in conversations with such people don't talk about money at all. Is it not enough, do you have other topics for communication?
In addition, it is worth analyzing the surroundings. For example, they despise money, but somehow they live, "get" money, make purchases? And often, upon closer examination, you can be sure that they live well and master their money stream very successfully. Like this? Different ways. For example, a husband despises money, but his wife works hard for two, or parents support an overgrown child. There are people who are generally accustomed to getting by with the smallest, and even proud of it: they say, I live not for my own pleasures, but for the sake of duty (justice, creativity, for the sake of other people, etc.). How many different eccentrics! Well, they have enough of "theirs" - and thank God! Their right to think so, and your right to think otherwise.
Here we think otherwise. And the main idea: who from your environment interferes with the influx of your wealth? After all, it is clear that if someone obscures your “energy path” with their heavy thoughts and doubts, it is difficult to go along it - for you, and for your dreams, and for your wealth. Don't hang out with losers! True, sometimes it is difficult to do this - it can also be a beloved friend who is disastrously unlucky, and a beloved nephew who cannot find a worthy place in life. How to be?! There is a way out!
When communicating with these "beloved losers", do not talk to them about money, about your dreams, about deeds, present and future. And in general, try to sigh in response to their whining: “Oh, how bad everything is with me!” Often this helps: whiners hate hearing about other people's failures and therefore will quickly fall behind you.
However, it also happens that it’s not whiners that bother you at all, but those who are spinning from morning to evening and even have their own business. Only now, for some reason, it always stalls for them, deals fail, and all their whirlwind brings only one “benefit” - a donut hole. These are the people who should be the subject of your close attention. Alas, these “most energetic” aunts and uncles are real “business vampires” who, working hard 24 hours a day, only suck energy out of the business itself, but give nothing in return and therefore do not receive any benefit. It is precisely them that must first of all be removed from the circle of your communication.
Do not associate with feverishly active losers! See that they do not drag you into their active fever.. Quietly and firmly reject their "solid projects" and "surest undertakings." Learn to say no. Honestly, no one will punish you for refusing and will not treat you worse. And even if it does, I assure you: nothing will come from relations with losers, and it is best to break these relations.
And further - do not communicate with chronophages! These are worse than the most ardent loser. Don't know who chronophages are? Those who steal time from others feed on this time (from the Greek chronos - time, phagos - drinker). Remember your most energetic girlfriend who calls you every day, or even five times a day, telling various stories on the phone that regularly happen to her. You listen to her now with bewilderment, now with pity, you try to give advice after advice, but all advice is of no use, because tomorrow she will have the same thing as yesterday, or even worse. Do not feel sorry for her and do not give advice - they are like peas against the wall. Yes, she does not need them! She needs you to dedicate-give her your time. She feeds on your time. Can you imagine how many necessary and useful things you could do in the time you spend talking to her?! Represented? So do not let the phone "vampire" feed on your energy and eat up your time! Quickly and without delving into, and most importantly - without taking everything to heart (why?! she herself arranges her failures herself! Yes, she can’t live without them!), round off the conversation. If you begin to sympathize, give her some of your energy. Do you need it?! And then do not discuss with your close friends "sorrows" - otherwise the lion's share of energy will fly from all of you to her. And you need to be in shape and save your energy, you don’t have an overabundance of it anyway (the next part of our book will tell about some methods of saving and generating energy).
Memo:
Don't hang out with losers!
Recipe twenty-seven is the simplest: "Get away from evil and do good." Got it? The secret of wealth is very specific: do not associate with either losers or chronophages.
Do not communicate with feverishly active comrades. Their activity is one imitation, the result will be, as always, zilch.
Secret four. crazy money
The playwright Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky knew many merchant secrets, did not hide them from people, and told about them in his plays. He called one of the best plays "Mad Money". We are talking about the young Lydia Cheboksarova, who dreamed of selling her beauty at a higher price - to find the richest groom. Men adored Lydia, took her to ride in troikas, dine in restaurants, bought gifts in expensive stores. Lydia herself changed admirers in a frenzied whirlwind and dreamed of ever greater wealth. However, in reality, zilch came out - although all the applicants littered with money, but, as it turned out later, who - with borrowed money, and who did - with stolen money. In a word, the dream of fast and crazy money burst, and Lydia had to marry a modest merchant, who had only one overwhelmed factory somewhere in the province. And now, imagine, it was this modest entrepreneur who earned real, real millions, and not some mythical crazy money.
Funny story? Why is there dramaturgy, our whole life is riddled with crazy money. Someone breaks his jackpot, cranks up a gamble, arranges a scam - and now he is already the owner of this most crazy money. Known History, truth? However, we also know what happens next: the redistribution of property, a stronger and more arrogant swindler, a new adventure ... And where are they, recent money? They left, sailed away, flowed away ... And what did you want from such money? They are mad!
Not only the playwright Ostrovsky, but also many Russian merchants knew the habits of big money: to break into a person’s life, to stun, lure, show off, “lie” to the owner that he is now an almighty rich man - and instantly melt, disappear, go to another. They are insidious traitors, these crazy money! No wonder there was a saying: “Don’t worry about death, but don’t worry about big money!” And what an accurate saying! Indeed, the one who received the big money was in a frenzy, did not notice anything, as if in a pair of fog. And what did he do? Lived in a fever. He thought that the whole world was now in his pocket, as if he had “grabbed” God himself by the beard. But in fact, he let down his easy money and, until the latter flowed away, he could not calm down.
And what's even worse: big money, leaving, takes away all their fellows from the former "owner". No wonder merchants used to say: “Mad money - crazy days!”
So all aspiring to wealth - be vigilant! Of course, I do not urge you to just hunchback all your life, a healthy share of adventurism has never harmed anyone. But if you are chasing easy money, remember the consequences. It is not for nothing that the beautiful Lydia from Ostrovsky's play finally admitted that the daily work of her modest husband brought much more significant results than all the "champagne sturgeons" with which her frivolous admirers tried to seduce her in a frenzied whirlwind of pleasures.
And one more piece of advice. If crazy crazy money has come to you (even if it’s small amounts!), Do not acquaint them with your hard-earned and acquired hard-earned money - do not put in one wallet, do not put in one pack. Otherwise, big money will not only go away on its own, but your hard-earned treasures will be taken away.
And you act quickly. How a crazy amount was formed from somewhere - spend it. Exchange this crazy money for the thing you need. Then they will do their "dirty" deed - they will leave you, but you and the right thing don't be left behind.
But never - remember, never! - do not start an important business with big money, do not pay with them for an essential service, do not buy goods for sale. The business will fall apart, there will be no benefit from the product, and the service will turn out to be unkind. And well, their dog down the drain, crazy money - it’s better to get it with labor, those that know how to grow and multiply, and not just, like crazy ones, rush around the world!
It was not for nothing that the merchants said: “I made money - God respected it, accepted crazy ones - God forsook it.” After all, it is true - big money is not from God. A person should own his own money, and crazy ones - they themselves will begin to own you. Is this life?
Memo:
Crazy money, leaving, takes away all their fellows from the former "owner".
Recipe twenty-eight:
Crazy money is not tenants in anyone's wallet. But, leaving, they take all their brethren away from the former "owner".
Never put big money in a wallet or just next to your hard-earned hard-earned money.
Having received big money, they should be spent, and quickly. "Exchange" them for the thing you need. But never start an important business with big money, do not pay with it for an urgently needed service, do not buy goods for sale.

Every person dreams of rich life, happiness and prosperity, but not everyone understands what makes a rich life. There are even some people who have already become rich, but do not feel happiness and joy, for the reason that they do not understand what their wealth means and what it should consist of more. Many mistakenly believe that wealth is only in the material world, although often it leads to failure rather than happiness.
Today in this article, we will provide only the most important and effective recommendations and advice that will help you realize a rich life and maybe begin to achieve it.
A rich life is made up of desire
The first and main thing, without which one cannot be happy and rich life so it's without desire. It is this craving that has made many people happy and successful. Now these people live a wonderful, rich life and enjoy it. Although anyone can achieve this, the only thing needed is a strong, sincere and passionate desire to achieve something. The one and only reason you can't live a rich life is because you don't have the desire to become rich, successful, and happy. Therefore, just want something, not necessarily wealth, because not everyone wants it and not everyone needs it. If there is no desire, just relax and live as you are until a strong desire to achieve something appears.
A rich life is made up of faith
After you already have the desire to achieve something, such as wealth, you need to find faith in yourself and that you will achieve what you want. Without faith, a person will not even begin to do something, because he does not yet see the whole path to what he wants. Only faith gives a chance to go through the invisible path, gradually opening it step by step. Faith helps not only achieve success and wealth, it helps to recover and cure incurable diseases, even when doctors are convinced that this is impossible. Faith can do anything, develop it, and you will become what you want, achieve what you want and be what you yourself want. For faith, it is enough at the very beginning, to gather all the strength that you have, and into your hands, then it will be much easier and easier, to go with faith along an unknown and untrodden road, to what you want. Everyone who lives a rich life did just that and nothing else.
rich material life
About 80% of the population believes that wealth and Rich life can only be material, of course, there is wealth in money, but for some reason, all of these 80% of people are poor. This is more likely due to a lack of faith, desire and goal to achieve wealth, or because of an incorrect attitude towards money and envy of rich people. The problem is that people, saying that they are not interested in money, and that this is not the main thing in life, continue to go to an unloved job in order to earn this money and feed their families.
In fact, it is precisely such people who need money more than the rich, since the rich concentrate on the most important things, for example, improve their health, help people. But poor people cannot help other people as well as rich people and at the same time accuse them of injustice. A person decides for himself how he wants to live richly or poorly. Counting and saying that you are not interested in money, and at the same time going to work every day, worsening your health, makes no sense and is ugly. It is better to accept that money is still important, even in order to feed a family, improve health and help people who need money even more. Then, changing your mind about money, they will begin to come to you.
Real rich life in knowledge
Of course, money and material things are rich, beautiful, they make life easier for us, give us power and more opportunities. But it has been proven repeatedly that in order to become happy man, material goods have no meaning, will not make you happy and joyful. To be happy and truly rich, you need to gain another wealth, internal, which lies in knowledge, peace of mind and joy. Yes, there are two riches in our life, spiritual and material. Undoubtedly, inner wealth is more important than material wealth, but we also need material wealth. If a person, for example, loses money, he will be able to return it if he has a sufficient wealth of knowledge in this area. But if a rich man who, for example, was left with a good inheritance, loses his money and is poor in his knowledge, then he will never be able to return this money. Therefore, first of all, become rich mentally, engaging in self-development and rich materially. Then your life will become really happy.
The main thing is not money and wealth, the main thing is health
Most people believe that money is not important, that the main thing is the health of the family and children. Of course, health is actually the most important wealth, but it must be maintained from birth. For some reason, poor people who are on holidays always wish health and happiness, believing that money is not needed, they themselves have many illnesses and are not happy in life. If happiness is not in money, then why do people suffer, go to unloved work, continuing to say that money is not needed.
For happiness, you need not only health, but also money, since we cannot have everything in order with health all our lives, even if we observe it. It is surprising that people say that health is the main thing, they do not observe it themselves, they drink alcohol, smoke, worry, and get nervous. We deceive ourselves. And if there is no health and we are poor, then how will we cure it, because without money today, it is impossible to improve health to a good state. If you need health, then take care of it, if you need to live a rich life, become rich. Do not deceive yourself, and then you will be happy. Live
The author of the article is Michael Masterson, perhaps one of the brightest business minds of our time. Many of the things I learned from his articles, as well as from his students, gave me goosebumps. The annual turnover of Michael's business is now over 300 million. USD Not bad considering he retired many years ago and spends time with his family and doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
This article is not about feng shui. And not even about money. It's about wealth in a broader sense.And he certainly does not need to promote anything.
"The Most Important Thing I've Ever Learned About Being Rich"
The most important thing I've ever heard about a "rich life" was told to me by a guy who had wealth in the past, who quit playing money making and started studying Chinese philosophy and teaching Tai Chi.
Jeff and I have been friends since high school. Twenty-five years ago, when we were still relatively young, we were partners in a vending machine business that brought in a lot of money. Jeff's annual income was in the 6 figures.
He quit one day and has since made a living working as a consultant and teaching Chinese martial arts. His departure from the business did not spoil our relationship in the least. On the contrary, it allowed us to pursue different careers and compare our observations.
I already wrote about Jeff. He tends to be serious and thoughtful. We had two or three long conversations over the course of several years - discussing topics that are of interest to both of us.
We talked about ontology. We discussed sexuality. We touched on the topics of aging and health. The only thing we rarely talked about was money. But a few months ago this topic came up and it changed my emerging understanding of wealth.
I told Jeff about my work on a book about "the rich life." I explained my idea that a person does not need tons of money to live well. Most wealthy people spend too much on symbols. Things that don't matter and too few things that really matter...like mattresses.
"Mattresses?" Jeff raised an eyebrow.
“The average person sleeps 7 or 8 hours every night,” I said. “But when it comes time to buy a mattress, he looks for discounted prices, even though the best mattress in the world will last ten times longer than the cheapest one and give him ten thousand hours of good sleep.”
Jeff listened to me with interest, and then asked: “What do you imagine when you think of wealth?”
In addition to being an expert in Chinese philosophy, Jeff was also a master of Socratic dialogue. I knew that this question was just the first step on the path we were going to take. And I boldly stepped on it.
"Not sure. I represent the symbols of wealth - big houses with swimming pools and nice cars.”
“It's interesting,” he said. “Now here’s the thing: imagine yourself lying in a sun lounger by the pool next to a huge house and a big black car parked nearby.”
I closed my eyes and did what he asked.
“Imagine yourself in this picture?” Jeff asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"And how do you feel?"
“I don't know,” I said. - Good".
"Can you describe it more precisely?"
I focused on feeling. “Calm down,” I replied. “And safe.”
“Very interesting,” Jeff said.
We didn't talk about it anymore that day. But this is one of our typical conversations. They got deeper and deeper.
It intrigued me that the feelings I associated with wealth were so varied. Calm? Safety? Really?
A month later, Jeff and I were having lunch at one of his favorite Palm Beach restaurants, a small Italian bistro. When I arrived, Jeff was sitting at his usual table, talking to Giuseppe, the head waiter. He rose to hug me and offered me a glass of Prosecco chilled in a bottle on the table.
This dinner promised to be long and luxurious. First we drank wine. Then we moved on to appetizers, then main courses, and finally sipped espresso on the patio outside so I could enjoy a cigar.
When I eat alone, I do it quickly, almost violently. I see eating as a necessary evil. The sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can get back to work.
But with Jeff it's different. Slowly. Without haste. Consciously. Jeff talks about the standby menu. He sips wine. Enjoys food. Time slows down and I become more aware of the beauty of this experience.
As we sat on the patio after dinner, drinking espresso, I resumed the previous discussion.
“I thought about how I feel when I think about wealth,” I told him.
"And…" Jeff asked.
I told him that perhaps my feelings about wealth originated in early childhood. We had a family of 10 living on a teacher's salary. We were the poorest family on Maple Street, one of the rundown streets in the city. At that time, I had a feeling of anxiety (fear that school friends will despise me for being poor) mixed with embarrassment (because of the clothes I had to wear, the meals my mom packed, etc.) I told Jeff that my grown-up feelings about wealth - peace and security - were the opposite the feelings that I experienced in poverty - anxiety and fear.
"It's interesting," he said.
And a little later he added, “Michael, you are very successful in accumulating wealth, much more than 99% of the people who aspire to it. Are you saying that your desire for wealth was actually a desire for those two childhood sensations that you associated with wealth?
"Yes," I said.
He nodded. “And how much of your time did you spend making money and acquiring symbols of wealth?”
"Lots of time," I admitted.
“And yet, despite all the money, house and cars, you were not always able to enjoy the sensations that you were looking for?”
"Exactly".
"Now let me ask you: have you ever taken the time to feel rich?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean - to strive for sensations, not for things."
I admitted that I didn't spend much time on it.
“How often do you feel rich?” he asked.
"Not very often," I admitted.
"When was the last time you felt rich?"
“I feel it now,” I told him.
He nodded again.
"Lets go for a walk. There is a shop nearby with a wide selection of international magazines.”
We wandered around the store and spent 20 minutes browsing French, Italian and Japanese magazines that I had never seen. As with dinner, everything was slow and relaxed—almost slow. And it somehow allowed me to open up. I have ideas for some of the magazines that I publish. I thought about creative projects who could start. It gave me inspiration... and something else. I felt richer.
So, I became aware of another feeling that arose in me when I felt rich. It was a feeling of acquisition - but not of things, but of inspiration and knowledge.
For me it was a moment of insight.
I've spent most of my adult life chasing symbols of wealth, yet I rarely felt rich. Jeff, on the other hand, left the world of striving for financial wealth, and yet enjoyed the feeling of being rich most of the time!
Jeff does not reject the material aspects of wealth. Fine things and quality services are real and he knows it. But he also understands something about these things, unlike most rich people: possession things does not bring the desired feeling. This feeling arises from awareness and enjoyment of them.
Instead of buying a yacht that costs millions, requires a whole crew to maintain it and has to worry about all year round, Jeff reads about yachts and attends yacht shows to see the boats he has read about. Instead of buying a $6 million condominium in Aspen, Jeff is happy to take a three-day vacation there, staying at the Little Nell Hotel.
There are three elements to my sense of wealth now: peace of mind, security, and emotional or intellectual enrichment.
Calmness, as Jeff taught me, can be achieved by simply slowing down. When a person slows down, he begins to pay more attention to the experience. You can taste wine, savor food, enjoy the scent of roses.
You can get a sense of security without spending more than you can afford. This can be achieved with a limited amount of money, giving up the illusion that you need to have everything. Having learned this lesson from Jeff, my wife and I enjoyed the opulent setting of the George Cinq Hotel in Paris without spending $1,500 a room. We spent an amazing 90 minutes on the bistro terrace drinking wine.
You need money - a lot of money - to have symbols of wealth. But the feeling of emotional and intellectual enrichment can be obtained by understanding what brings you a sense of wealth, seeking it, and being fully aware of the experience. I repeat: inhale the scent of roses!
5 rules for the life of rich people: apply them now, and a lot will change!
1 rule. Build assets and create passive income for yourself.
This is the main idea behind Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, one of the most popular business books. You don't have to read it, just remember this one rule. Acquire assets, get rid of liabilities. An asset is something that adds money to your pocket, a liability is something that takes money out of your pocket.For example, a car bought to drive to work is a passive asset that takes money from you every day and only makes you poorer. But the apartment that you bought and rent out is an asset, it brings you money without your participation and is constantly growing in price.
2 rule. Work only in new and small companies.
Only such work will give you an understanding of how to build a business and the necessary life experience, because in a new and small company, each person is very close to the director and owner, and can take part in management.If you spend 10 years shifting papers from one pile to another in some huge government agency or a stable state corporation, the ultimate dream will always be to buy a new car or apartment, not a private jet and own house on the Azure Coast.
3 rule. Don't work for a paycheck, work for a share of the business.
Of course, everyone needs a basic income to be able to afford food and a subway pass. But everything else is a better investment.Offer your manager to pay you 10 tr. less than now, but for this every month to give you an option of 0.1% of the company during the year. The leader of a small company is likely to take this offer positively, because it will reduce his expenses, and you will work even harder, take on more responsibility, and become more of a business partner than an employee.
4 rule. Participate in affiliate programs.
If you are in a business environment, for example, conducting trainings and master classes, then constantly look for additional sources of income. Many good IT products that help businesses have an affiliate program: Megaplan cloud system, Kontur Accounting, Supl.biz marketplace, etc.For example, if you refer 10 clients to the Supl.biz marketplace, you will receive passive income at the level of 15 thousand rubles. every month. At the same time, you will do a good deed for the company you partner with and the people you recommend the product to, because it will really help them in their business.
5 rule. Do not play in the foreign exchange markets.
The exchange does not create any additional value for people, it only redistributes wealth. It's like a casino - when playing in a casino you can win once, but if you play constantly, then the casino will always win, because that's their business.In the stock market, some people win, others lose. The winners are those who for 12 hours without stopping follow the exchange rates. You don't want to waste your life on this, do you? And no matter how smart you are, there will always be people smarter than you and beat you. Better create value that people will pay you for.
