At the age of 14, Fraser Doherty began to make jam according to his grandfather's recipe, and by the age of 19 he already had a fortune of $ 1.9 million. Ashley Quals launched the site at the age of 14, and soon they wanted to buy it for 1.2 million dollars. Even before graduation, Cameron Johnson earned 350 thousand dollars for his company greeting cards. But if it becomes so easy to become rich, why do many people continue to live from paycheck to paycheck? Psychologist Gerald Schonwolf found seven reasons.
1. LACK OF FAITH AND OWN IDEAS
Almost all people who were able to knock together a decent state have one common feature - they believed not only in themselves, but also in their ideas. Most often they are supported by families. If you believe in yourself, in your ideas and can easily imagine yourself rich, then this is already half the work. If you have a lot of ideas, but for some reason you are afraid to implement them, then an experienced tutor can help you.
2. PREASIS OF FAILURE
Some do not risk, simply because they are afraid of failure. They may have ideas that will never come true because of the fear that nothing will work out. Uncertainty follows them from childhood, it is she who prevents to implement ideas. There is one more problem: such people, most likely, will not go for help to a psychologist or a friend - because of the same fear that nothing will come of it. It is difficult, but necessary, to learn to overcome yourself and take the first step, even if a small step forward
3. FALL OF SUCCESS
Sometimes the cause of stagnation is not only the fear of failure, but also the fear of success. Perhaps those who are afraid have an older brother who, as a child, envied any success and offended the younger ones every time they tried to attract attention. And now they prefer not to stick out. Such fears are most often unconscious, so the person does not fight with them - he does not even suspect them.
4. BAD HABIT
Living from paycheck to paycheck has already become our habit. So lived our parents and grandparents. As an outsider team, we are used to losing. The first step towards solving this problem is to realize that we are accustomed to thinking of ourselves as an eternal loser. It is very difficult. But the next step is even more difficult: we must try to get rid of this feeling.
5. ignorance
Do not be lazy. Get an education, learn. Read the biographies of successful people, study their methods of work, study markets, finance, economics. Experiment with a small amount of your own money. Try different moves and patterns. And regardless of the results of the first attempts, keep an optimistic attitude.
6. RELATION TO MONEY
Many people think that money is the source of evil. This is not true. Money can not be the source of anything, because it's just money. What they will be for you, you define yourself. Money is a resource.
7. BELIEF THAT YOU DO NOT BUY HAPPINESS FOR MONEY
So they say. And it is true. But money can make it so that you need to think about a much smaller number of problems. You no longer have to postpone for study, or think with horror that the rent has risen in price. You can devote more time to developing your ideas, your family and yourself.
