We, as Americans, have totally lost the entrepreneurial spirit? We were so lazy, so self-satisfied and risk averse, so that the entrepreneurial spirit that helped to suppress what was the greatest company in world history?

The media constantly tells us that the gap between “rich” and “poor” is increasing. They also like the “rich” the sound of this growing inequality of guilt.

We all know that this statement “the rich get richer and the poor poorer, right? Inevitably, after this declaration, the guilt of the rich person in the situation of poor people.

I really think it is time to stop the guilt of the rich and begin to look in the mirror when we take someone for our current financial situation in a responsible manner.

There is a misconception out there that the “rich” born “rich” with a silver spoon in his mouth and sit back and let the collective “poor” to become rich. Nothing could be further from the truth. The facts are that most so-called “rich” in the United States have created their “wealth” of last generation. This is a hand-me-Succulent Society, which permanently deletes the lower classes. This is a feudal system, kings and peasants. No, it’s normal for people to take action to choose to take risks and take the initiative to improve their situation.

It does not take a special person to be rich, but the rich tend to have certain qualities and characteristics that allow them to become rich. His books have been written documents and articles about these functions and some of the publication of a publication. However, I see three important features that appear in the list of all in a way that the person to be rich, have the opportunity to heal.

1. Personal responsibility – For me, this is by far the most important function and I hit most of these elements. Personal responsibility is essential to success. If your mindset is to blame, blame, guilt, how to change the situation? You can not sit and wait for change to be successful, you must create. Most successful people have many more failures of success, but ten times the successes and failures of success.

2. Willing to take risks – most people talk about risk in the form of money. But the risk can also mean the social norm. Risking their reputation and the risk of being ostracized by their friends and family, because his actions are not the accepted norm in society today. Many people do not continue on its current trajectory, because they lack the means to create change, but because of what others think, afraid of them. For me, the work was 9.5 standard. At first I created a small success in my online business that my family really know what he was doing and believed in it. There is the support and approval of those closest to us, unfortunately, these tend to be more critical of the process, when we have a little ‘outside the social norm.

3. Work smart, not hard – this term is not quite right. Smart work is hard work, but hard work does not work smart. I know I lost, but learn to work for yourself smart take your time, your money, your efforts to generate passive income and residual. The rich have learned the concept. There are few professions that rich that can get to 9-5, but not by much. Most of the jobs are or 9-5. Most are 60-80 hours per week and not the “rich” I want. Most of the rich have learned to combine multiple sources of income are paid while they sleep, eat, holidays, football practice to create or whatever. After paying the rich know that 24 / 7 is better than being paid, and only in his office or closet.

These are not features. The richest in society today is, what to record as “poor” and “poor” families. No, these are qualities that we learn, was born to create a desire and willingness to change.

We all have the ability to create change in our lives. We make a daily choice of how we live, what day and what steps you can take to improve the quality of our lives. Well, the soap box, get a challenge that I do today to change, no matter how big or small the change applies.

The chain reaction that can wake up, think that entrepreneurship and who knows, could be the next Microsoft, Dell, Donald Trump, or may simply have found the time to see freedom of raising children and a family vacation “rich “to be. In any case, take measures to reflect the changes.
