What makes rich people different from those who struggle with money?
It’s more than just the number in their bank account. It’s more than just being lucky or hard-working, or having a college degree.
Rich people and poor people think and act completely different from each other. They have different ways of seeing the world. Of tackling life’s challenges. Of focusing on achieving their goals. With dealing with fear, and so on.
Today I want to show you the differences that I have not only experienced myself — being both really, really poor, and also really, really rich — but also what I’ve seen with almost 2 million of my students in both their successes and struggles.
In the infographic below, I’ve highlighted the 13 major ways rich people think and act differently from poor people.
What’s important here, other than the 13 big differences, is to see where you stack up.
Do you think and act like a rich person or a poor person?
Do you have the mindset and habits of a rich person or a poor person?
Use the infographic we created below to find out for yourself! (And if you want to learn each point in more detail, click here).
As the great Bill Gates says — “It’s not your fault if you were born poor, but it’s your fault if you die poor.”

Your Next Steps…
For a huge chunk of my life, I struggled to get rich. My first breakthrough came when I was able to truly see and understand the differences in thoughts and actions between what I was doing vs. what successful people were doing. And now you know the differences as well, which is great!
But there’s a problem because knowing what to do and actually doing what you know are worlds apart. We are creatures of habit and doing things we haven’t done before offers a whole set of challenges and obstacles.
However, if you want to make a change in your life, it can be done in the following 3 steps:
-
-
-
- Awareness — it starts within you (or learning from an infographic like the one above) that makes you aware of your thoughts and actions in your own life.
- Understanding — understanding why you are doing what you are doing.
- Reprogramming – working on your habits and responses so you can create a new way of being.
-
-
Today we hopefully accomplished step 1, but what about the other 2 steps?
Well, this is why I created a free web class called,
“Don’t Believe A Thought You Think”
On this web class, you’ll also learn:
- How to increase your inner strength and confidence to take on any challenge that stands in the way of reaching your peak potential.
- How to become incredibly trustworthy using T. Harv Eker’s universal law so that you don’t only trust yourself, but also gain respect and trust from others.
- How to unleash your “inner warrior” and empower yourself to take unconditional action in spite of your fears, doubts, barriers, and obstacles.
- How to become crystal clear about what you want, need, and deserve, so you can actually achieve your goals (instead of just dreaming about them).
So you can understand why you’re getting the results you are getting in your life, what may be stopping you and possibly holding you back from success, and more importantly, how to master your mind so you can master your life and succeed… no matter what!

Thank you for all your webinars and insight, its really helps in thinking differently and guess what? Its really works! Its your way of thinking, that creates eaxactly want you want or how the responses are. So thank you again.
harv E should sell those info graphics as a nice wall poster ….how do I print it and get it as a nice wall poster for my bathroom wall so each morn I get motivated ?
I took a picture of it and I could print it from my phone, if I wanted to. Instead, I will read it from my phone, I think.
Thank you, Harv!
Thanks for this mind refresher. I am doing things differently thinking as a rich person.
I disagree with your comments. I think you are very negative in the way you stereotype the working poor. You sound like Ronald Reagan, or Rush Limbaugh. Most of the people I know are working poor. They may be a bit more negative about their jobs than the rich, but that is mainly because working poor people are treated horribly at their jobs. If the poor have trouble at sales jobs, maybe it is because they don’t like being told to lie to people. I’ve had at least a dozen sales and telemarketing jobs, and I’ve never seen a sales pitch that wasn’t full of lies. Additionally, I’ve seen many rich people who are terrible role models (Our president, for one). Jesus never had money, and he certainly wasn’t a “negative” person. Frankly, I’m tired of gurus and right wing politicians who are always bashing poor people.
Guy, the objective is to show that rich people and poor people have very different mentalities when it comes money and their success. Are all poor people like this – no. Are all rich people like this – no.
However, when you look at the masses there are very different habits, traits and mindsets to those are rich and those who are not. There is no doubt about this.
@GUY : I disagree with your comments. I think you are very negative in the way you stereotype the working poor. You sound like Hillary Clinton or Al Sharpton. Most of the people I know are working poor/rich (they don’t have much money, but great attitudes). They may be a bit more positive about their jobs than the other poor, but that is mainly because they act rich and are treated better at their jobs. Anybody can have trouble at sales jobs, if being told to lie to people. I work with people who like the sales pitch, because there are no lies, the product sells it’s self. Additionally, I’ve seen many poor/rich people who are terrible role models (Hillary and Al , for two). Jesus never had money, and he certainly wasn’t a “negative” person. Frankly, I’m tired of gurus and left wing politicians who are always trying to enslave poor people for there gain. Everybody can be rich with positivity.
I bet you’re broke… the handling for what you note for anyone is a) never lie. Sell a product you are proud of. Of what your boss wants you to sell is a lie, move on. b) rich people also don’t work for someone else! They break out of such circumstances and do it on their own. Ask me. I had to do that and am on my way to being rich! The rich also don’t have excuses. They plow through the very crap tha you note. Being poor is a choice. Just like being rich.
Exactly. Poor people are poor not because they want to be but because they do not know any different. They are stuck in their mindsets because they are afraid to be different or admit that they may be wrong.
un grand bonjour…..merci….3
Because of people’s passion to defend why they are poor is that we have so many poor people. Not only financially poor but spiritually poor.
They are enthusiastically going the wrong way!
These specimens of individuals are not teachable, so let them be poor, is better to ignore them than to argue
with them. Rich is only in his name.
NECESITO LA VERSION EN ESPAÑOL GRACIAS
I really enjoyed this article. The infographic made it easy. Thanks for your inspiration! I will share it on my site, right away ?
Thanks.
Keepin me motivated.. ?
My name is Alieu Kiawu a high school graduate with no added skill or career and I want to be successful in life despite my little education. Whoever, I’m with the strongest conviction that my life will be better in the nearest future but with no actual evidence to that my life with be better. So how can I see myself living in such a invisible dream as a reality? I am seeking for direct from you because reading the article above give me the believe that I can get a better direction from you to have my life improved.
Great thinks .think you for every thing you do for us.. i feel so luky to recive your e-mails that help me too much to reach my goals.. your student from morocco
Thank you for the list. My problem is I start so many projects. I get through most of them and then never finish them. Yes, fear does get in the way. But confusion also gets in the way. I get so frustrated with myself because I believe I am unable to solve problems. So then I start a new project.
I feel so desperate. It is January 1rst. 2019. I have dumped a project last year. Now my question is, if I start a new one, will it work? I have so many projects that I have dumped, I feel that people will not believe me. Not even myself. I feel stifled.
I guess, I have to focus on the future. The old saying. Past performance does not guarantee future results. That saying can predict negative results (Be cautious) or positive results. (Be optimistic) Just because you had failures in the past, does not mean you will have failures in the future.
Maybe I should just concentrate on all my success from the past. Maybe that will work.
Hello Harv Eker:
Your materials are assertive, exactly what’s needed in learning those principless of life. I’ve never heard this approach to learning have two BS degrees; I’ve studied books and people my entire life. Thank God for an enlightened soul whose desires to help others walk in the light.

Its a great insight
This is great because you reinforced my understanding/belief that I should stop associating with negative
people, which are other tenants in the building where I live.
One reason to increase my income (significantly through your program) is so I can afford to move out of
where I currently live to get away from these tenants. I hope to get a house and stop being a renter who has
no choice nor voice in how this building is mis-managed.
I also look forward to being my own person through your program.
Cordially
Very accurate! I’m now retired but ever since the start of my career in sales I’ve seen the differences in my coworkers and friends.
My personal experience:
The conversations, interaction, energy when I’m with my wealthy friends are interesting, fun, very engaging, lots of information and ideas. I see the conversations with others who are not wealthy being completely different. It’s almost like having to speak two different languages depending on who I’m with. I feel much healthier (physically and mentally) when I’m with my wealthy friends.
Most of my wealthy friends have the same “mindset” in that they are risk takers, embrace challenges, made lots of sacrifices and are always thinking, reading and learning. They are also much happier because their wealth gives them so much freedom and options.
My poor friends…had to distance myself from the very unhappy ones and try to encourage the others to do things differently. Most cases, they aren’t interested in taking risks, aren’t up for a challenge, won’t make sacrifices (very often too selfish) yet they will complain about what they don’t and can’t have?
I can’t thank you enough for sharing this invaluable information,…I’m so grateful to be part of this beautiful and life changing experience!
Thank you ??
Jenny Garcia!
