How Rich People Think 

I have heard it said
that if you want to be rich, you should hang around rich people! You
ever hear that?  The advice sounds reasonable. You know, after all,
birds of a feather do flock
together. However, this is only half the story. If you really want to be
rich, you have to think like the rich. As Paul Harvey said"And now, the rest of the story…"

Steve Siebold spent nearly
three decades interviewing rich people around the world to find out
what separates them from the 99%.

His finding is summed up in a new book, How Rich People Think!

Steve
concluded that being rich has little to do with the money itself.
Instead, it had everything to do with mentality and how you think about
money. The book is a pretty good read, and I recommend you get a copy.
In the book, Steve divides people between “World Class” and “Middle
Class”! I will call the groups the 99% and the 1%.

I know most won't read
