Five Simple Reasons Most People Will Never Get Rich...and How To Make Sure You Do!

Written by Jason Oman


What did I learn about getting rich from interviews with over 43 self-made millionaires?

After interviews with one after another, I realized many ofrepparttar secrets that make them rich while others continue to struggle. When you understand and do what self-made millionaires do, you get to become one of them. If you don't understand and do what they do, you don't get to become one. It's really that simple.

Here are five simple reasons most people will never get rich and how to make sure you do:

Reason 1: Waiting to Start

Most people don't want to wait for success. But, atrepparttar 145493 same time, they are willing to wait before getting started onrepparttar 145494 road to success. Do you seerepparttar 145495 problem here? The longer you wait to get started,repparttar 145496 longer it will be before you getrepparttar 145497 money, success, and lifestyle you want. Many people are waiting for everything to be perfect before they get going. Therefore, they never get going and never getrepparttar 145498 rewards. No race has ever been won (or even finished) by someone who never leftrepparttar 145499 starting line. Don't wait to get going. Start today onrepparttar 145500 road to success.

Reason 2: Being Financially Illiterate

The cornerstone of all wealth is understandingrepparttar 145501 difference between assets and liabilities. The difference is this: Assets put money IN your pocket. Liabilities take money out of your pocket. Most people think their home, car, and other possessions are assets. But,repparttar 145502 truth is that in most cases those things take money out of your pocket. They cost you money. They don't make you money. Therefore, byrepparttar 145503 true definition above, those things are liabilities. They take money out of your pocket each month. When you have more money coming in from real assets than you have going out to pay for liabilities, you will be financially free.

There is only one way to do this. Which brings us to...

Reason 3: Focusing on Linear Income Instead of Passive Income

One ofrepparttar 145504 millionaires interviewed said it simply. He said, "If you're not making money while you sleep, you'll never be rich." Linear income is what you get from a job. You work for an hour and get paid only one time for that one hour's work That's it. Passive income is when you work once but continue to get paid over and over again from work you're no longer doing. Investing in or creating true assets that provide passive income for you is your ticket to wealth.
