I have heard a lot of people saying they want to become wealthy but not everyone has had the opportunity to become one not because we cannot all become one (actually we cannot all become wealthy because the economy has been designed to keep people poor and only a few are able to break the rule) but because a lot of people do not do the right thing.
The first thing to do if you want to become wealthy is first escape survival mode. A lot of people are in survival mode because they just need to survive to the next day and this is because they live in abject poverty. If you are still living and asking yourself how will you pay rent, where will your next meal come from and so on, then you are still living to survive and you need to leave the survival mode. People in this mode do not have anything to plan for, they do not have a reason to plan instead they just live life as it come and deal with whatever it throws at them one after the other.
Take responsibility of everything you do else you will not achieve anything. You need to decide on what you want to do and start to do them immediately. Do not let anyone hold you back on your pursuit, take it with all your mind and do everything to make sure it comes to pass. Define exactly what you want and work on it with precision do not just say you want to be rich or successful or wealthy, that is a wish and not a vision. Wishful thinking do not bring result.
Taking action is the next time. Planning alone will not get it done so instead of planning alone without any action, do the work. When the work starts to make money, you should start saving, managing money and build wealth. Spending your first money on extravagant lifestyle will crash you so you should be careful of the temptations that are around you.
In all you do, ensure that your money and time are not in the same equation. Make sure you are making a lot even when you are not there and you do not need to work. Do make sure that your money works harder than you because it needs to work very hard. If your mode of income remains exchanging your time for money, then you will remain at the lowest side of life because you cannot do more than yourself or more than the time you have.
