The rich life is the most interesting thing about blogs. Nine important rules of rich people
Who does not 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 goals, in turn, can be accompanied by their activity in order to achieve a positive result.
Having studied a lot of different information on the network, we decided to draw up a specific instruction, which can be a plan for your actions.
Rich life
- You need to start by transforming a dream into a goal and concretization. It's just that this is not a definite goal, it is better to try to set yourself a bar, for example $ 3,000 per month, and then start achieving this goal. It is very important not to lower the bar, but even better to raise it as you get closer. In addition, set a time frame so that you do not 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 the pond without difficulty,” therefore, on the way to achieving financial independence, you must definitely be ready for labor contributions.
- Contacts of a business person are 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 customers, they can advise you to their acquaintances, which will allow you to get interested customers.
- As you build contacts and increase the number of your acquaintances, you should definitely set your own priorities. Rich people necessarily care about their surroundings, and try to closely communicate 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 never 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 achieve wealth? Then do not put off your business until 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 make a successful living.
- The laziness that you can refer to in the process of achieving success is just bad motivation. If you learn to stimulate your activity, you can 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 there are at least twice as many of them. It is not worth “tossing” the solution of problems into the lowest “box”; it is better to solve them immediately. 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 an “uncle” can be much easier, but at the same time you must understand that you do not get the main profit of the company, which means that this is not the best path to wealth.
- Opening own business, regardless of the chosen area, you need to strive to ensure his passivity. In other words, you should try to minimize your own labor contributions and make the business system work with little or no input from you.
The information in this article can be quite helpful 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 your property and Money... Why shouldn't people who already have funds increase them? Can not? It seems that 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, are not accustomed to either 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 residence, at least about Levi Strous jeans! In the West, for a long time, private property in the form of movable and immovable property existed, was inherited, family silver was almost in every home. And here the newlyweds had to buy aluminum (rarely cupronickel) spoons, forks, because the parents would like to give, but they themselves did not have! But what about spoons? Remember how people around Moscow with rolls toilet paper Were you walking around your neck and taking care of packs of Indian tea with an elephant, hiding in the far corner of the box? And they were happy about that! Can you imagine how they could dream of wealth? In the pink light, rolls of toilet paper would fall straight out of thin air, and kitchen table tea packs with a blue elephant would materialize. So much for all your dreams of wealth! ..
No, you have to learn to dream correctly - with breadth, scope, chic, brilliance! Really, why? We already know that even a couple of thousand "greenies" would bring us happiness ... Well, to yearn for them until you 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 - to turn fantasies into reality. People did not take the merchant secrets with them, they left them to their descendants.
The first secret. How a poor man imagined himself to be a rich man
Savelich, the old bath attendant of the famous Moscow Sandunov baths, entered the utility room and put the "red" one in the general treasury:
- Here is my contribution. I don't work anymore today. I’ll have a rest, and in the soap-steam room let the young poke around, the customers will be pleased.
- Why don't you want to work? - the senior bath attendant Rebrov was surprised. - And where did the whole ten come from at the beginning of the day?
- The shopkeeper Tyatin gave me a hundredth piece of paper for services!
- It can not be! For what?!
- You won't believe it, Reby! I just poked my head to clean up the steam room, where the rich man Putyatin took a steam bath, and here - Semka Tyatin. He says: “Don't touch anything, uncle! Give me a piece of Puttyatin's broom and put it on the shelf where the rich man was lying! " And this steward is giving me this. Can you imagine ?!
“I’m not so crazy!” Why climb on a dirty shelf and whip with a frayed broom - and even for such money ?!
- Exactly, started! When I gave him a couple of something, I heard him, poor fellow, whisper hotly like this: “I am a rich man Putyatin! I am a rich man Putyatin! "
Rebrov crossed himself:
- Insane, not otherwise! This is not the first time I have heard of him. Once my friend, a waiter in a merchant's club, told how this same Tyatin took a dirty, unwashed plate from him for a lot of money and demanded to put fried tuna there. And the plate was just putyatinskaya, the rich man also ate fried tuna before that ...
- Are you talking about the eccentricities of the shopkeeper Tyatin? - put in a young bath attendant Seryozha. - And the clerk from Kuznetsky Most told me about him. Tyatin bought a dark blue jacket from him, just like from Ivan Ivanovich Putyatin himself. The shopkeeper spun in front of the mirror for half an hour and kept repeating: "I am a rich man Putyatin!" - and then went to the barber shop across the street and ordered to cut him exactly like Putyatin.
- Maybe some kind of magic? - Rebrov crossed himself again. - Maybe this Tyatin wants to damage Ivan Ivanovich?
- Or maybe Putyatin wants to steal? - gasped Seryozhka, and his eyes lit up. - We must go to the police, or even better to hire a private detective!
- One pampering on your mind! - Rebrov barked. - Eco invented - a private detective! Well, run to the steam room, there are cases to the throat! - 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 bath 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, what if they, the merchants, are betting themselves? Now they love to argue about everything and beat them on the hands. This is not our business. Let's replace for clarity ...
And so they did. And the shopkeeper Tyatin walked around Moscow for a couple of years, muttering: "I am a rich man Putyatin!" He dined in the same restaurants as the rich man, dressed the same way, made friends with the company where the millionaire Ivan Ivanovich was, went with him to theaters. He adopted Putyatin's habits and manners. All of Moscow openly laughed at poor Tyatin, but after a couple of years it stopped. And how can you mock if Tyatin earned his first million, and then another? Now he proudly declared himself:
- I am a rich man Tyatin!
* * *
What is the trick here? In imitation, in similarity. And like, as you know, leads to like. So 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 that. Look at life from the angle of a wealthy person, 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 knew about these programs for a long time.
Memorandum:
I am a rich man Putyatin!
Recipe twenty-fifth: find a guide to the world of wealth
Take a closer look at someone who lives well. Where and how he dresses, what he likes to eat, where he happens, 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 cover, not paperback), make friends with his friend (try unobtrusively), etc. In a word, declare to fate that you are like him. What's the difference ?! He is the rich man Putyatin, and you are the rich man Tyatin! He is simply your Way.
The second secret. Happiness according to Balzaminov: the rules of life for rich people
For a decade, television has been showing the people three imperishable pieces of classic comedy films: "The Diamond Hand", "White Sun of the Desert" and "The Marriage of Balzaminov." We watch them almost all our lives, quote our favorite phrases, hum songs like “We don’t care” and “Your Honor, Lady Luck” ... But who ever thought that they contain some “life programs”? Don't laugh, dear readers! Even the sweet and naive comedy by director Konstantin Voinov "The Marriage of Balzaminov" is actually a guide to action.
As you know, Misha Balzaminov is the hero of several plays by the great playwright Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky, based on which the script of the famous film was written. And this same Misha dreamed of getting married.
- And what is she like? - his mother was interested in the bride.
- I do not know! - answered the son sincerely. - To me, mamma, all rich brides seem to be beautiful women.
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 transform. I mean, you need to learn to dream competently. 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: "Business - first of all", "Business must be done, gentlemen!", "It will be for you according to your business." And where with the dream?
- What to do with them, such and such? - Mamma Balzaminova asked about her eternally fantasizing son.
But it turns out that dreamers also have their fantasy angels on the premises. Moreover, in dreams, the sprouts of reality are already ripening, as if a dream - some not yet quite obvious, but already an order to the heavenly office... The playwright of the nineteenth century Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky is the author of plays, according to which a century later, in 1965, the brilliant director Konstantin Voinov shot his masterpiece about Balzaminov, he perfectly understood the power of dreams. Surprisingly, in his plays, this coolest playwright-writer of everyday life constantly carried out an idea that was completely seditious for realism: it is the dreams of people that give rise to and shape their future life.
Almost all beloved heroes, and especially Ostrovsky's heroines, dream. And how! The detailed, almost tangible dreams of Lipochka from "Bankrut" make her the mistress of a "newfangled" merchant house. But the feverish dreams of Katerina in The Thunderstorm about unearthly beauty and sinless love, on the contrary, sadly enough, 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 hell and heaven at the same time, the excitement of the player and the timid movements of the soul, afraid to appear in the light. All this masterfully and touchingly was played in the film by Georgy Vitsin, a failed tragedian, inscribed in the Procrustean bed of comedy films. At first, Misha dreamed of it "little".
And I don’t need much. I’m probably not chasing big, ”he sighed. - Give me something!
"Anything" fate has given. They invited Misha and his mother to a rich house (a merchant's daughter in 300 thousand dowry!). And they didn’t take it badly at first. But the marriage never took place. Moreover, after the reception, Misha himself was pushed out. Why is this? Is it because the “dream order” was not clear: what to give if a person asks for “at least something”? "All one is a cloud!" - as his mother sighed.
It turns out that before sending the “order” of your dream to the heavenly office, you need to fill out the “order form”: determine for yourself more specifically what you want to get from your dream, present it in detail. Science now calls this principle dream visualization, but oh scientific approach we'll 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 perfectly well: the principle works.
Let's go back to Balzaminov. After all, there was a second hitch, from which at first his dream did not work - it did not translate into marriage. Yes, he was going to find a richer wife, but after all, something had to be done with the wealth. And what - poor Misha could not even imagine.
“Right now I’m getting 120 rubles a year,” he complained to his mother. - And what will be 300 thousand? What then?
It turns out that Misha was not ready to accept or spend the bride's capital. So far he had neither scope nor ideas. The biggest dream: "And everything seems to me, mamma, that we have a stone house!"
But is it really a scale? Home is very mundane. And since it is down to earth, it would be necessary to imagine this whole house in detail, that is, to visualize. But this, we already know, Misha does not.
Why doesn't he represent everything in detail? Yes, he cannot do it! The poor man has not seen the richest houses - since luxurious interiors, rich furnishings, parquet floors and crystal chandeliers... Here is the second conclusion for you: if you want a dream come true, find out more about it. If you dream - fantasize on a grand scale: excitement is better than shyness in dreams. As we know, you can't spoil porridge with butter!
But where to get it, excitement? And where does the knowledge of 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 leaking roofs, dilapidated fences, unpaved streets - and the same poverty.
- The rich, mamma, think differently! - once uttered the newly-minted philosopher Misha.
And he turned out to be a thousand percent right! Our poor thoughts run like cockroaches around the table, refrigerator, wholesale market. Where to buy more and cheaper? As soon as possible! So we rush to the headroom, push everyone there with our elbows, drag the goods home, clog the refrigerator, hang the 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 the wardrobe, although it is packed so that it does not close, still has nothing to put on in the theater.
In a word, the money was spent, and everything was down the drain! And why? We were in a hurry to grab it, bought it on the cheap ... Have you ever, at least in a movie, seen rich people running around or taking them without looking? Yes, they will examine and sniff everything for their money. They are planning special days for their "bourgeois shopping". No, Misha Balsaminov is right, a hundred times right:
- I'm not used to thinking, mamma, how the rich think. I think everything as poor. Here is the wealth in the head and does not fit!
Of course, Ostrovsky wrote plays in the second half of the 19th century, but now we live in the 21st century, and even in a competitive market. But have you learned to think "richly"? Here's a typical example. A friend of mine noticed a strange phenomenon. She traveled for a long time to buy food and things in wholesale markets. There was barely enough money. Suddenly, a small shop was opened in her house. Passing by, she began to go there more and more often. The goods there were more expensive than on the optushka, but clearly more decent. A month later, she stated with bewilderment that there was enough money for shopping in the store, without trips to the market. And without looking for additional income. The salary was simply increased a little, my husband was paid for an 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 come in once - pulls in the second. And the friend was surprised to notice that she even had enough money to buy 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 headroom, and she was sucked in.
- We must stop wasting money! she said. - What if tomorrow there will be less money?
So she ran for a month - and found that money again began to be enough only for the wholesale market ranks. A paradoxical pattern, isn't it? It means that the more you spend, the more money comes. Directly the water cycle in nature. Or money in your pocket. Who likes what. As much has poured out, so poured out. You strive to the supermarket - and there is as much money as there is enough for it.
I was drawn to the wholesale market - you look, and only money for it. Why?! And simply - according to your needs. Of course, no one saw the heavenly layouts, but it turns out that they are guided by the well-known principle of "capital investment development". If you do not master it, they will not give it any more.
And again Misha Balsaminov comes to mind. When the amount of the dowry of the next bride was announced to him, he almost fainted - all at once:
- Such money, perhaps, and you will not live!
And yet he did not live, for this bride also fell off the hook. And all why? Of course, again, he did not have a specific task, but he also won over doubts. And there is no way to doubt! In the heavenly office, things are simple: if you doubt, no one will admonish; if you don’t live, they won’t give. Why translate a resource in vain?
In a word, from the stories with Balsaminov, the conclusion is this: define a goal for yourself, do not be afraid to overdo it, do not hesitate and think-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 with it.
If you want to publish a book, come up with a dozen plots, which later will demand that you write them down. And if you want to imagine yourself healthy - imagine that you are running along a forest alley in Ribokov 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 around the house somehow in the morning, at least once for a try, at least while in old sneakers. If you like it - buy sneakers. Push the dream!
Take an example from Balzaminov. In the end, he once again spotted a bride for himself and dreamed of 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 his dream he gave out all the scope he was capable of, and stopped doubting: he decided that any rich bride would agree to go for him. And there was still a consonant!
The naive Misha had only one slip of the tongue in his dreams. With any rich bride Mishina's mother had to live with him.
“And I don’t need that I’m rich,” he said. - And to you, mamma, I always respectfully.
Clear? You can dream and put into life any dream - if only it does not harm your family and good people.
Won't it hurt? Then - dream. To health and happiness. And what your heart desires.
Memorandum:
The rich think differently. I’m not used to thinking like rich people, but wealth in my head doesn’t fit ...
Recipe twenty-six:
Put your future wealth in your head. Learn to think like wealthy people.
Do not desire everything. Pick one. Climb one peak, as psychologists say. Define for yourself more specifically 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 do you say when you see THIS? And so on - brighter in colors, sounds, aromas.
If you want a dream come true, find out more about it. If you dream - fantasize on a grand scale: excitement is better than shyness in dreams.
Remember the principle of "capital investment": the more you spend, the more money the heavenly office will subscribe to.
Do not doubt anything at all. In the heavenly office, things are simple: if you doubt, no one will admonish; if you don’t live, they won’t give. Why translate a resource in vain?
Remember: you can dream and put into life any dream - if only it does not harm your family and other good people!
The third secret. Losers and chronophages
So, you want to become rich, hold on to your savings and increase them. You really, really want this. Well, what about your associates? Of course, we are not talking here about those who envy you or, even worse, bring all sorts of misfortunes on your head. These envious people, enemies and ill-wishers are familiar and understandable to you. And you know perfectly well how to treat them. It is best to grin calmly and tell all of them (mentally): you will 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 relate to wealth, your dreams and money itself, finally? Don't be lazy - take a look around and analyze. Maybe your mother is deeply convinced that since you bought new vacuum cleaner what more could you wish for? You're just mad about the fat! She generally managed with a broom, and cleaned the rug in the snow. And your beloved girlfriend sincerely believes that the next episode of "Adjutants of Love" or "Don't Be Born Beautiful", watched over the evening eating "pizza at home", is much more pleasant to run for a paycheck. Well, your mother-in-law generally washes her hands after touching the bill, because she is firmly convinced that money is dirt!
Well, how to think about wealth with such relatives-friends ?!
It’s difficult, of course. But it is still possible. First of all, you need to talk to your relatives, trying to convince them that being rich is not harmful, not ashamed, and it is possible (see the "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 of. 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 persuade such people: they are so programmed by Heaven, and you will not do anything here, you will only fray your nerves and ruin your relationship. I advise in conversations with such people do not touch on the monetary topic at all... Do you have few other topics for communication?
In addition, it is worth analyzing those around you. For example, they despise money, but somehow they live, “get” funds, shop? And often, upon closer examination, one can be convinced that they live well and that they are quite successfully mastering their money stream. Like this? Different ways... For example, the husband despises money, but the wife works for two, or the parents support an over-aged child. There are people who, in general, are used to making do 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.). You never know different eccentrics! Well enough for them "theirs" - and thank God! Their right to think so, and your right to think differently.
So we think differently. AND the main idea: who from your environment is hindering the flow 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 follow it - both 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 be a beloved friend who is catastrophically unlucky, and a beloved nephew who will never find a worthy place in life. How to be?! There is a way out!
When communicating with these "favorite losers", do not talk to them about money, about your dreams, about business, present and future. And in general, try to sigh in response to their whining: "Oh, but everything is bad for me!" Often this helps: whiners hate hearing about other people's failures and therefore will quickly lag behind you.
However, it also happens - it is not whiners that interfere with you, but those who are spinning from morning to evening and even have their own business. Only now they have it for some reason always stuck, deals are thwarted, and all their twist brings only one "benefit" - a donut hole. These are the people that should become the subject of your close attention. Alas, these "energetic" aunts-uncles are real "business vampires" who, working 24 hours a day, only suck the 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 your circle of communication.
Don't hang out with feverishly energetic losers! Make sure that they do not drag you into their active fever.... Calmly and firmly reject their "hardest projects" and "safest endeavors." Learn to say no. Honestly, no one will punish you for refusal and will not treat you worse. And even if it does, I assure you: nothing will come from relationships with losers, and it is best to break off these relationships.
And further - do not communicate with chronophages! These are worse than the most ardent loser. Not sure who the chronophages are? Those who steal time from others feed on this time (from the Greek chronos - time, phagos - drinker). Think of your energetic girlfriend who calls you every day, or even five times a day, telling on the phone various stories 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 not good, 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 a wall. And she doesn't need them! She needs you to devote, give her your time. She feeds on your time. Can you imagine how much necessary and useful you could do in the time that you spend talking with her ?! Have you presented? So don't let the phone "vampire" feed on your energy and eat up your time! Quickly and without delving into, and most importantly - not taking everything to heart (why ?! She arranges her failures herself! Yes, she can't live without them!), Round off the conversation. If you start to empathize, give her some of your energy. Do you need this ?! And then do not discuss the "sorrows" with your friends' relatives - 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 do not have an overabundance of it anyway (the next part of our book will tell you about some methods of saving and developing energy).
Memorandum:
Don't hang out with losers!
The twenty-seventh recipe 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 associate with feverishly active comrades. Their activity is one imitation, the result will be, as always, zilch.
The fourth secret. Crazy money
Playwright Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky knew many merchant secrets, he did not hide from people and told about them in his plays. He called one of the best plays “Mad Money”. It is about young Lydia Cheboksarova, who dreamed of selling her beauty at a higher price - to find the richest groom. Men adored Lydia, drove her to ride in troikas, dine in restaurants, bought gifts in expensive stores. Lydia herself changed fans in a frenzied whirlwind and dreamed of more and more wealth. However, in reality, it turned out to be nothing - although all the applicants were wasting money, but, as it turned out later, some with borrowed money, and some with stolen money. In a word, the dream of quick and crazy money burst, and Lydia had to marry a modest merchant, who had only one scattered little factory somewhere in the provinces. And now, imagine, it was this humble entrepreneur who made real, real millions, and not some mythical crazy money.
Funny story? Why is there drama, our whole life is permeated with crazy money. Someone will rip off his jackpot, turn a gamble, arrange a scam - and now he is already the owner of this very big money. Famous story, truth? However, we also know what happens next: the redistribution of property, a stronger and more impudent swindler, a new adventure ... And where is the recent money? They left, sailed away, flowed away ... What did you want from that kind of money? They're crazy!
Not one playwright Ostrovsky, but many Russian merchants knew the habits of big money: to break into a person's life, stun, lure, show off, "lie" to the owner that he is now an omnipotent rich man - and instantly melt, disappear, move on to another. They are treacherous cheaters, this big money! No wonder there was a saying: "Do not worry to death, but do not bury yourself with big money!" And what an accurate saying! Indeed, the one who had received a lot of money was exactly in a frenzy, he did not notice anything, as in a pair of fog. And what was he doing? He lived as if in a fever. He thought that the whole world was in his pocket now, as if he had grabbed God himself by the beard. But in fact, he let go of his easy money and, until the latter flowed away, he could not calm down.
And even worse: crazy money, leaving, take away all their fellows from the former "owner"... No wonder the merchants used to say: "Crazy money - crazy days!"
So all aspiring to wealth - be vigilant! Of course, I am not urging you to just hunch back all your life, a healthy share of adventurism has not harmed anyone yet. But if you are chasing easy money, remember the consequences. It was not for nothing that the beautiful Lydia from Ostrovsky's play finally admitted that the everyday work of her humble husband brought much more weighty fruits than all the "sturgeon with champagne", with which her frivolous admirers tried to seduce in a frenzied whirlwind of pleasure.
And one more piece of advice. If crazy crazy money has come to you (even if it is small amounts!), Do not acquaint them with your hard-earned money - do not put in one wallet, do not put in one bundle... Otherwise, the big money will not only go away on its own, but your hard-earned treasures will also be taken away.
Act quickly. How did a crazy amount come 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 after all, you too the right thing do not go to waste.
But never - remember, never! - do not start with the big money of an important business, do not pay with them for an urgently needed service, do not buy goods for sale. The case will fall apart, there will be no benefit from the product, and the service will turn out to be unkind. Well, they go down the drain, crazy money - better earned by hard work, those that know how to grow and multiply, and not just run around the world like crazy!
It was not for nothing that the merchants said: "He made money - God respected, he accepted the crazy ones - God left him." After all, it’s true - crazy money is not from God. A person should own his own money, but crazy ones - they themselves will start to own you. Is this life?
Memorandum:
Big money, leaving, and taking away all their fellows from the former "owner".
Recipe twenty-eighth:
Big money - not tenants in anyone's wallet. But, leaving, they take away all their brothers from the former "master".
Never put big money in your wallet or just next to your honestly earned hard-earned money.
Having received a lot of money, they should be spent, and faster. "Exchange" them for the thing you need. But never start with the big money of an important business, do not pay with it for an urgently needed service, do not buy goods for sale.

Everyone 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 people mistakenly believe that wealth is only in the material world, although it often leads to failure rather than happiness.
Today in this article, we will provide only the most important and effective recommendations and tips that will help you realize a rich life and maybe begin to achieve it.
A rich life is made of desire
The first and foremost, without which one cannot be happy and rich life so it is without desire. It is this longing that has made many people happy and successful. Now these people live a wonderful, rich life and enjoy it. While anyone can achieve this, the only thing that is needed is a strong, sincere and passionate desire to achieve something. The one and only reason why you cannot live a rich life is because you have no desire to become rich, successful, and happy. Therefore, you 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 you have a strong desire to achieve something.
A Rich Life Is Made of Faith
After you already have a desire to achieve something, for example, 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 until he sees the whole path to what he wants. Only faith gives a chance to walk the invisible path, gradually opening it step by step. Faith helps not only to 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 who you want, achieve what you want and you will be who you want yourself. For faith, it is enough at the very beginning, to collect all the forces that you have, and into your hands, then it will be much easier and easier to walk with faith along the unexplored and unexplored road, to what you want. All who live a rich life have done this and nothing else.
Rich material life
About 80% of the population believes that wealth and Rich life can only be material, of course wealth is in money, but for some reason, then all of these 80% of people are poor. This is rather due to a lack of faith, desire and purpose to achieve wealth, or because of the wrong attitude to 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 their unloved work in order to earn this money and feed their families.
In fact, it is these people who need money more than the rich, since the rich focus 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 rich or poor. It makes no sense and is ugly to think and say that you are not interested in money, and at the same time go to work every day, worsening your health. Better to accept that money is still important, even to feed a family, improve health and help people who need money even more. Then, having changed your mind about money, it will start coming to you.
Real rich life in knowledge
Of course, money and material things are rich, beautiful, it simplifies our life, gives us power and more opportunities. But it has already been proven many times that in order to become happy man, material goods have no meaning, they will not make you happy and joyful. To be happy and truly rich, you need to gain another wealth, internal, which consists in knowledge, peace of mind and joy. Yes, in our life there are two riches, 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 person, 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 wealthy materially. Then your life will be 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, so why do people suffer, go to work they do not like, continuing to say that money is not needed.
For happiness, you need not only health, but also money, since with us, all our life, everything cannot be in order with health, even if we observe it. It is surprising that people say that health is the main thing, they themselves do not observe it, drink alcohol, smoke, worry, get nervous. We are deceiving 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, possibly 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. Michael's annual business turnover is now over 300 million. Not bad, considering that he actually retired many years ago and spends time with his family and practices 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 definitely doesn't need to promote anything.
"The Most Important Thing I Ever Learned About A Rich Life"
The most important thing I have ever heard about the “rich life” was told by a guy who had wealth in the past, who gave up making money 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 the vending machine business, which made a lot of profit. Jeff's annual income was calculated in 6 figures.
He once gave up the profession and has since earned a living working as a consultant and teaching Chinese martial arts. His departure from business did not spoil our relationship in the least. On the contrary, it allowed us to pursue different careers and compare our observations.
I've already written about Jeff. He is prone to serious and careful thinking. He and I had two or three long conversations over the course of several years - discussing topics 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 the topic surfaced a few months ago, and it changed my emerging understanding of wealth.
I told Jeff about my work on the rich life book. I explained my thought that a person does not need tons of money to live well. Most wealthy people spend too much money on symbols. Things that don't matter, and too little for what's really important ... like mattresses.
"Mattresses?" Jeff raised an eyebrow.
“The average person spends 7 or 8 hours sleeping every night,” I said. "But when it comes time to buy a mattress, he looks for bargain prices, even though the world's best mattress will last ten times longer than the cheapest one and provide ten thousand hours of good sleep."
Jeff listened to me with interest and then asked, "What do you think of when you think of wealth?"
In addition to being an expert in Chinese philosophy, Jeff also possessed a mastery of Socratic dialogue. I knew that this question is just the first step on the path along which we will go. And I boldly stepped on it.
"Not sure. I represent symbols of wealth - big houses with swimming pools and nice cars ”.
“It's interesting,” he said. "Now here's the thing: imagine yourself lying on 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.
"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,” said Jeff.
We didn't talk about it anymore that day. But this is one of our typical conversations. They went deeper and deeper.
What intrigued me was that the feelings I associated with wealth were so varied. Calm? Security? Really?
A month later, Jeff and I were having lunch at one of his favorite restaurants in Palm Beach, a small Italian bistro. When I arrived, Jeff was sitting at his usual table, talking to Giuseppe, the head waiter. He got up to hug me and offered me a glass of Prosecco, cooled in a bottle on the table.
This dinner promised to be long and sumptuous. In the beginning we drank wine. Then we moved on to the appetizers, then to the main courses, and finally had an espresso on the patio outside so I could enjoy a cigar.
When I eat alone, I do it quickly, almost furiously. I perceive eating as a necessary evil. The sooner I get it over with, the sooner I can get back to work.
But with Jeff it happens very differently. Leisurely. Take your time. Consciously. Jeff talks about the duty menu. He relishes the wine. Enjoys food. Time slows down, and I begin to better understand the beauty of this experience.
As we sat on the patio in the afternoon sipping 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 probably my feelings about wealth originate 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 run-down streets in town. At that time, I had a feeling of anxiety (fear that school friends despise me for my poverty) mixed with embarrassment (about the clothes I had to wear, the meals my mother collected, etc.) the feelings that I experienced in poverty - anxiety and fear.
“This is interesting,” he said.
And a little later he added, “Michael, you are very successful in accumulating wealth, significantly more than 99% of the people who aspire to it. Are you saying that your pursuit of wealth was actually the pursuit of those two childhood feelings that you associated with wealth? "
“Yes,” I said.
He nodded. "How much of your time have you spent making money and acquiring symbols of wealth?"
"A lot of time," I admitted.
“And yet, despite all the money, house and cars, you could not always enjoy the sensations 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, strive for sensations, not things."
I admitted that I spent very little time on this.
“How often do you feel rich?” He asked.
“Not so often,” I confessed.
"When was the last time you felt rich?"
“I can 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 have never seen. As with lunch, everything was unhurried 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 that could start. It brought me inspiration ... and something else. I felt richer.
So, I realized another feeling that arose in me when feeling wealth. It was a sense of acquisition - not of things, but of inspiration and knowledge.
It was a moment of epiphany for me.
I've spent most of my adult life chasing wealth symbols, yet I rarely felt rich. Jeff, on the other hand, left the world of the struggle for financial wealth, and despite this, he enjoyed the feeling of wealth most of the time!
Jeff does not reject the material aspects of wealth. Great things and great service are real and he knows it. But he also understands a thing or two about these things, unlike most rich people: possession things does not bring the desired sensation. This sensation arises from awareness and enjoyment of them.
Instead of buying a yacht that is worth millions, it requires a whole team to maintain and worry about all year round Jeff reads about yachts and attends yacht shows to see the boats he read about. Instead of buying a $ 6 million condominium in Aspen, Jeff is happy to spend three days of vacation there, staying at the Little Nell Hotel.
There are three elements in my sense of wealth now: calmness, security, and emotional or intellectual enrichment.
Peace of mind, as Jeff taught me, can be achieved simply by slowing down the pace. 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 feeling 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. With Jeff's lesson in mind, my wife and I enjoyed the rich ambiance of the George Cinq Hotel in Paris without spending $ 1,500 a room. We spent an amazing 90 minutes on the bistro terrace sipping wine.
You need money - a lot of money - to have symbols of wealth. But a sense of emotional and intellectual enrichment can be gained by understanding what brings you the feeling of wealth, finding it, and being fully aware of the experience. I repeat: inhale the scent of roses!
5 rules of life for rich people: apply them now and a lot will change!
1 rule. Build your 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 books on business. You may not read it, just remember this one rule. Buy assets, get rid of liabilities. An asset is what adds money to your pocket, a liability is what takes money out of your pocket.For example, a car bought to drive to work is a passive asset that takes money away from you every day and makes you poorer. But the apartment that you bought and rent is an asset, it brings you money without your participation and is constantly growing in value.
2 rule. Only work for 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, can take part in management.If you spend 10 years shifting pieces of paper from one pile to another in some huge government agency or stable state corporation, your ultimate dream will always be to buy a new car or apartment, not a private jet and own house on the Cote d'Azur.
3 rule. Don't work for a salary, work for a share of the business.
Of course, anyone needs a basic income to pay for food and a metro pass. But everything else is better to invest.Invite your boss to pay you 10 tr. less than now, but for that every month to give you an option of 0.1% of the company for a year. The CEO of a small company is likely to take this offer positively because it will lower his costs and make you work harder, take on more responsibility, and become a business partner rather than an employee.
4 rule. Participate in affiliate programs.
If you are in a business environment, for example, conduct trainings and master classes, then you are constantly looking for additional sources of income. Many good IT products that help business have an affiliate program: Megaplan cloud system, Kontur Accounting, Supl.biz trading platform, etc.For example, if you attract 10 customers to the Supl.biz trading platform, you will receive passive income at the level of 15 thousand rubles. every month. At the same time, you will do a good job both for the company you are a partner of and for those people whom you recommend the product to, because it will really help them in 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 you play in a casino, you can win once, but if you play all the time, then the casino will always win, because this is their business.On the stock exchange, some people win, others lose. The winners are those who watch the exchange rates for 12 hours without stopping. 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 will beat you. Better create value that people will pay you for.
