Building wealth is an inside job.
If you want your prosperity to grow on your outside, then you will have to grow on the inside.
Why is this? The way we think directly impacts what decisions we make and the actions that we take.
If you want to become wealthy, then you are going to have to think and act like the wealthy do.
I am not saying to go out and by a new Porsche, what I am saying is to learn how to think differently.
Rich people really do think and act differently than everyone else.
They see the world, life and situations differently than poor people.
In order for us to get a better idea how they think, we need to read wealth building books.
Here are the Top 5: 1- Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill: This book has been around for ages.
