If you want to become a millionaire, you will have to make some changes to your lifestyle. Probably not without sacrifices, writes CNBC.

Here are 11 things that rich people have abandoned.

Narrow thinking

“The main goal of ordinary people is to retire in 65 years and, hopefully, have enough money to survive until their death. Millionaires are aimed at influencing the world with their wealth, ”writes Siebold.

Do not be afraid to think big. After all, the average person has "everything he needs to earn more money than he can spend." Start thinking like the rich: "If not me, then who?"

Focus on saving

Although wealthy people value the importance of saving and investing, they also recognize that the key to becoming truly wealthy is focusing on earnings rather than saving.

“The masses are so focused on coupons and live modestly that they miss big opportunities. Even at the height of the cash flow crisis, the wealthy reject the thinking of the masses. They are masters of focusing their mental energy where it is: on big money, ”Siebold emphasizes.

Stable salary

According to Siebold, average people prefer to get paid on the basis of regular payments or hourly rates. While wealthy people prefer to receive payment based on the results and, as a rule, are self-employed.

Flexible deadlines

If you want to create wealth, you must have a clear goal, a specific plan and tight deadlines.

“The middle peasant wants a lot without enthusiasm,” says Siebold. And rich people “sincerely focus on one main goal” and “set a deadline for achieving it. So millionaires are created. ”

Buying things you can't afford

“The middle class is known for living beyond its means. He is not a spender, but he earns so little that he is forced to spend all this in order to live with dignity, ”writes Siebold.

Instead of spending everything, the rich receive several streams of income and pay for themselves. “Do not concentrate on expenses and savings, focus on how to earn more, invest interest and spend the rest as you want,” Siebold advises.

Entertainment

The rich "are more likely to be educated than entertained," says Siebold.

They value the ability to learn long before graduating from college or any other formal education. “Go into the house of a rich man. The first thing you will see is an extensive library, from the books of which he studied independently how to become more successful. The middle class reads novels, tabloids and entertainment magazines, ”said Siebold.

"Toxic" relationships

The one with whom you communicate is more important than you think. In fact, the one you choose to surround may even affect your net worth, says Siebold.

“Successful people usually agree that consciousness is contagious and that influencing people who are more successful can expand your thinking and catapult your income. We become like the people we communicate with, so the winners are attracted by the winners, ”the author concludes.

Nostalgia

Ordinary people often live memories of the good old days, Siebold says. While rich people dream of the future and are optimistic about it.

“Those who believe that their best days are behind rarely get rich. They are often overcome by misery and depression. The millionaires are those who are ready to bet on themselves and project their dreams, goals and ideas into the unknown future, ”he writes.

Live in comfortable conditions

The average person wants to feel comfortable, while wealthy people are driven by uncertainty.

“Physical, psychological and emotional comfort is the main goal of middle-class thinking. World-class thinkers find out early that becoming a millionaire is not easy, and the need for comfort can be devastating. They learn to feel comfortable working in a state of constant uncertainty, ”writes Siebold.

Fear

“The great ones act on a level of consciousness where fear does not exist. At this level of thinking, everything seems possible. Every dream that seems crazy to the masses seems surprisingly feasible, ”says Siebold.

To work at this level, you must be ready to leave your comfort zone, and this is exactly what the richest people do.

Low expectations

While the middle class underestimates their financial expectations, they never disappoint - the rich put their expectations extremely high and are ready for any test.

As Ziebold writes: “Nobody would ever get rich and realize their dreams without great expectations. Ancient wisdom says that you get what you expect, but many people decide to limit their lives to middle-class mediocrity in order to protect themselves from failure. ”

As soon as people set ambitious goals, they immediately begin to look for ways to solve them, the author says: “Champions do not wait for something to happen, they work on themselves.”
