Miller, are going to be talking about 15 things that poor people do that rich

people don't and instead of a quicker video, we're actually going to step back and

not just talk about the 15 things that the that the rich people and the poor

people are doing differently, we're also going to show you 15 things that the

rich people do and how they think that makes all the difference in the

world so it's a little bit longer but hang in there

because this is the knowledge after all the thousands of people that I've had a

chance to interview over the years and get to know and working with poor people

and wealthy people. I think there are some huge secrets and gems that are

going to be revealed to you in 15 things that the poor people do and also 15

things that the wealthy people do.

This is such a waste of time, okay. We're talking about 15 things that poor people

do that rich people don't and nose flutes is definitely one of those. Don't

you dare put that in your mouth. So I want to do a little shout out here to alux.com,

they've done a great job producing a video really talking about 15 things

that poor people do that rich people don't and Steven and I, over the years

that we've been in business, we've had a chance to work with thousands of people

on their journey of wanting to be successful, some of them make it and some

of them don't and we've gotten some strong opinions and ideas that we've put

together after all those case studies as to the things that poor people do that

rich people don't and alux.com, 8 of their 15 really resonated strongly with

us and then we wanted to bring some additional ideas to the table and what I

want invite you to do is take pen and paper and write these fifteen ideas down

and if you identify with any of these thoughts and ideas, I'm going to invite you

to make the conscious choice to change those behaviors because bottom line is,

they're likely not associated with successful people. - Alright, so let's go

ahead and jump right in. Again, this is the 15 things that poor people do that

the rich people don't and let's start with eating fast food. Now look, I will

say that wealthy people on the go, they eat fast food a lot too, theire fast

food just looks a little bit differently often. A lot of wealth people that I know

eat very healthy, they're very conscious about what they're eating, actually what

they're putting in their body, they are on a go go go, you know, they're getting

after their dreams and their goals, they're creating businesses and

networking with people so as they're doing that, they need to have their bodies in

optimal form and so eating fast food, the typical fast food, I won't throw out any

names here but eating your typical fast food is not good fuel. - It's not good

energy, it produces lethargy, you're not going to be on your A game, you get in what

you get out and if you're putting crap and you're going to get crap out. - Yep,

let's do the second one. - Okay. Number two, they buy clothes or products that are on

sale and there's an idea, there's a mentality here that says, I always need

the best deal, I need things on sale and so what they'll do is, they'll end up

bypassing really incredible opportunities that life has but

they're bypassing them because they're actually just looking for the deal,

they're looking for the sale, they're looking for the least expensive approach,

the least expensive way and again, you're going to get what you pay for.

- Can I talk about this a little bit because this goes into the subconscious

mind. If you're constantly looking for a deal, a deal means that you are taking,

it's almost like you're taking advantage of a system or taking advantage of

somebody or they have to be giving it to you for a low low price which means you

gouge them, you know, it's that negotiation strategy. If you're

constantly looking for that negotiation, you're constantly looking for that good

deal then in the back your mind, it means someone else is not getting

a good deal, that you're taking it away from them and rather than have that

constant at the back of your mind, going for sales and things like that, although

you may think that you're just going out to save money, really what you're doing

could be hurting another business or hurting someone else and like Kris said,

hurting you in the long run so don't always go out and look for the sale,

find what it is that you want and you get after it. - Find what you want, I love

that. Okay, number three, waking up late. Yep, I'm talking to some you night owls,

those of you that aren't burning the candles on both ends, in fact, you've got

the longest candle possible. You might be sleeping in and you might be staying out

late and ultimately what research and studies have found is that the

individuals that are sleeping in, they're not that early bird that's getting the

worm, they're actually sleeping in, they're missing a lot of life's

opportunities and just to do a little comparison here, Steven and I, we've got

habits over the years of waking up early to do our morning power hours, our

routines of waking up our bodies, our minds, our spirits, reading good books,

going to the gym, exercising, getting into our prayers, our meditation and all

that's doing is, often by the time a lot of other people are just waking up,

we've already soaked in so much of the beautiful promise that life has to offer

so here's our invitation is, choose to wake up earlier than you normally do and

just find out how much more effective you are, how much more productive you are

or just how much more conscious, awake, aware and appreciative of life that you

are. - Absolutely. Number four, poor people blame others for their misfortune. Now

look, I get it, it can be hard if you're in a situation where you don't have money and

you may see somebody else who has all this opulence or you know great things

that they've been able to create for themselves but don't ever blame anyone

else for where you are. If you get into that habit, you have completely stripped

yourself of any power to correct it. Rich people, people that are

wealthy, they don't blame other people for their circumstances. If something

wrong happens in their lives, they take full accountability, they pull it on all

into themselves, they say okay, what can I change so that can create a different

result and that puts the power to their hands so if you find yourself blending

others a lot for your misfortune, if you find yourself, you know, sweeping the

accountability off to somebody else then just take it back, take it back and

you'll have the power to create whatever is that you want. - Well, I want to ask this

question. Is it ever rightful to play the blame game? And I'm going to argue that it

is. I'm going to argue that if you try to create exceptions of like, no, but this

person really disadvantaged me or this person used their free agency to do this

thing that hurt me or this person really did something that they shouldn't have

done, every moment you spend focusing on that is in making an investment into

what you don't want so I get it, you know what, life's unfair. Steven and I, we

didn't start in privileged circumstances, we started behind, we started in debt and

as we've allowed ourselves to rise, this is something that we take really

personally is that, in fact, we even put on every month an empowerment workshop

called Limitless. It's a three-day event. You can learn more up here by clicking

that link. Get with us for a few days and we're going to share with you the

mindset of the wealthy, we're going to share with you the mindset not of wealthy just

in terms of riches but the wealthy that are receiving happiness, joy and

fulfillment in their life. That's the greatest form of wealth that I'm aware

of and what we're going to share with you is that you never get to go into that

blame game only because it disempowers you from being able to do anything

productive out of it. - Absolutely. So let's jump into number five number. Five is,

poor people do not save money. Now that may seem like a no-brainer, they're poor,

they don't have money so they're not saving it but really this is a principle

of budgeting and saving just on a very granular level. Poor people don't ever

put any money away, this isn't and I'm not talking about hundreds or even

thousands of dollars, if you have a very small budget or if you have a very low a

little amount of money that comes in every month, you have an opportunity that

you could even just save a couple dollars, even just a couple of dollars

over several months or many years could turn into enough money to get

maybe a bigger thing that you've always desired, you've always wanted, it's that

idea of setting a goal, sticking to it, budgeting. This is kind of going

around that same conversation so poor people don't save money. - If you feel like

you do have a hard time saving money, I want to invite you

read one of the classics. It's a short book it's called The Richest Man In

Babylon. It's a fantastic book that just shares the analogy and life of one man

and choices that he made in basic rules that allowed him to eventually become

very very wealthy and it started with having no money and just starting with a

couple of small rules and listen, even if you're below the poverty level,

trust me, get the book, read it. It's going to help you. Okay, number six,

you're using credit cards or loans to buy things that depreciate in value.

Okay, we're buying useless things, we're buying things that are actually not

building, we're buying things that aren't actually helping us and it's amazing how

quickly the money can flow right out to things that lose value so I go and buy a

computer, well six months from now, that computer's going to be less. Even

this is the first hour that I walk away with it, it's less, two years later, it's

going to be less. Now, you may need a computer but think about some of the

things. Are we buying more car than we can afford? Are we buying other things

and for that matter, it is amazing how much money can go into junk food and to

things that we don't need and ultimately, we're going into debt for these things

and by the way, I've gone into that debt for business ideas that have made me money.

I've gone into debt for things like real estate, I've gone into debt for things

that have made me money and that's a good debt so make sure that you're

learning that poor people are really good at going into bad debt, rich people

are really good at going into good debt. - So this jumps right into number seven

and number seven is about spending money before you get it. Poor people spend a

lot of money before, this is the credit card .. - My paycheck is on Friday, I got 2 days to

go and I already know how I'm going to spend. - Or even going and

getting up a payday loan. How many people are going off and giving these payday

loans?One of these these companies that will give you money for a title or title

loans so that you can have what you want now rather than delaying that

gratification for a while and earning it until you've got enough saved up so you

can get it. Don't spend money that you don't have. - Okay, now this is number

eight of the ideas that we want to share from alux.com. Again, a huge shout out to

them, you guys produced a fantastic video, you should check it out. Never following

through on ideas as number eight, never following through. So you have an idea

and what you do is you become an amazing procrastinator and I'm gonna get to that

someday. Now if that speaks to you, if you know,

oh man, Kris, that totally pricked my heart, I do that sometimes. Here's the

good news, this video is not an indictment on any

of these things that you're doing wrong, it's an invitation that says mount up,

take courage, cowboy up, go out there and do something about it. If you know that

you're bad at follow through then guess what you get to do, you get to develop

the skill of hey, maybe I'm going to start using my phone for a different

purpose. I'm going to take my notepad, I'm going to take

note of every idea that I get to follow through on and then I'm going to put it

where my money is and where my mouth is. Right now, if you want to know what

people are truly committed to, it'll show up on their calendar or it'll affect

their pocketbook and that's what you get to start doing so if you have an idea,

make sure that in the least, you schedule time where you're going to tackle it,

jump in and make that happen. - I want to jump into some of the things that Kris

and I wanted to add to this list now and this starts with number 9 and number 9

is about quitting. People that are poor or have that poor man mentality, they

often quit when things get hard. Now I want to help you understand something

here, this is a principle that if you will internalize this, it will change

your life. Things that you've never done before will always be hard. There is a

difficulty level to things that you've never done before,

it may not be hard physically, it may not be hard just emotionally or mentally but

it's going to be hard in one of those areas. When things get hard, you're that kind of

person that's always just going to quit, throw your hands up and say nevermind,

this isn't for me then you'll never accomplish anything outside of what you

currently have and if what you currently have is poor or what you currently have
