So Many Chasing the Lotto

I heard two days ago about the giant jackpot that was worth $636 million after my mom called me and said she is playing the lotto. I sat back and thought. Ok, I thought what is the one thing separates people who buy lotto tickets to chase a dream and the people who create wealth. They hope that one ticket will solve all of their financial worries. Let’s see what that $2 can buy as far as entrepreneurial. Well, you can purchase a domain name from Register.com and GoDaddy.com for about the same amount of money. Getting a domain name is value more than a lotto could ever be. With a domain name you can build an online business.

  

For the average Joe and Jane, they didn’t figure it out that you can build the jackpot with a domain name and get some hosting space to build fabulous website.  This is more valuable than a lotto ticket. You can create jobs if you are successful and have a good business and marketing plan. Domain and Hosting companies are begging for your business. It is so cheap. John never thought of it. He went down to chase a dream of one ticket to solve his financial worries. He never bother pick up “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”.

 

He thought one ticket was going to solve his problems. He never learned how to get out of the J.O.B (Just over Broke) mentality. The answer was right there in front of him.

When you start to build something successful, your friends and family as you are getting abundant. They will try to look at you differently. I came up with an idea on my own. I decided to buy 9 lottery tickets.  Also, I bought 10 large manila yellow envelopes and stuff each one of them. On the tenth enveloped, I stuffed a copy of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” inside with gift certificate for a domain name and hosting space. Also, put inside the 10th envelope a sticky note saying this is how you really get rich. The other 9 envelopes are just possibilities. I did to illustrate point and gave the envelopes away to people on the street. It is brilliant. Because I wanted people to figure it out. It is priceless like MasterCard says.

I do these kinds of things to illustrate a point. You don’t get wealthy by chasing one ticket with bunch of numbers on them. A majority of people who chase the lotto if they win, they end up back right where they started from and end up poor again. They never learn how to develop an attitude of abundance. Developing an abundant attitude is key to getting the with a good business plan. It is taking advantage of social media and building a dream. It is creating the kind of reality that can be better overall.

The Wealthy Mindset

Did you ever wonder what separates the wealthy mindset from a poor mindset? Well, there are big differences. I will give you an example based on my own personal experience. I have brother that lives a middle class life and is very happy doing that.  Our views on money and wealth are far apart as the east is from the west.  These difference highlighting the way a person thinks.

 

My own brother bad mouths rich people and corporations to no end and see a thing from a poor person’s prospective. He says money is evil. He says rich people are dishonest.  He put himself in debt and has car note. He has credit card bills. He thinks that building business is rich person’s game. He think that investing in the markets is gambling and people should save their money and work for 30 years to collect a social security check and put away money in 401K. He sees failure as not an option to learn and grow from.

As for myself I have a wealthy mindset, I accept failure as part of the deal with success. I see failure and think how can I build this bigger and better from my own failures. I see opportunities and the ability to network with other people who have my same mindset. I write up marketing and business plans. Like one time several years, he told me why don’t I come in the living watch movie a long time ago. I said I see the future it is bright and know what exact what I want to do. Well, it didn’t sit well with him.   I said opportunity can pass you by when you least expect it.

 

My own brother decided to by lotto tickets hoping to win the big jackpot. My brother said I am going to get wealthy by lotto. I said I already have a lotto ticket called the wealthy mindset. It doesn’t require you purchase 1 shot piece of paper. I take the opportunities find the problem that plagued customers. I take risks and seize the opportunity because those opportunities are like giant oil wells. I worked and put together business plains together and to produce results.

As for my brother, he still stuck in that same mindset of I can’t. Really, he says that he won’t ever try. I will network people left and right because those kinds of opportunities will produce results. My brother has a job. A job really means just over broke. It doesn’t give the freedom of knowing you built something over time. He wants everything now. As for me, I say I wait and get it later without any debt. He has look for job whenever a company lets him go. He works harder. I end up working smarter.

  Here is the breakdown of the mindset 

                                              

Wealthy	Poverty
See opportunity when other won’t	says it’s too risky
Will delay gratification for later	wants instant gratification
Wants economic freedom and independence	dependence on a job
See failure as option	says failure is not option
accepts responsibility for their failures	Will blames other for their failure
Is not afraid of anything	Is very fearful
Thinks rich people are good.	Think rich people are evil

These are very evident. Even between my brother and myself the difference are clear. There are clear as night and day.  I chase opportunity and know it is there like an oil well ready burst open.  This why I became an entrepreneur and a business person. I rather build things and create opportunities.
