I know many people think getting rich is impossible.  They give up on it.  They think it’s only for the fraudsters, the corrupt.  Poor people can’t get rich.  They get into self defeating mode and talk themselves out of trying to get rich.  “It’s for those other guys (or girls)”.

Let me tell you this: IT IS NOT!  Getting Rich is For You!

The Super Secret Secrets to Getting Rich

So what if you don’t have a lot of money? Many rich people started from nothing just like you. They were working low paying jobs. They shared a ghetto apartment. They had debt. Whether they were better or worse off from you isn’t my point, it’s just that many rich people didn’t start out rich. If this is a stumbling block for you, get over it.

So if you’re poor or don’t have a lot of money to start out with, you don’t just give up. Instead, look at what you do have. You have time (time can be a more valuable resource than money). You have your health. And you have the ability to save.

Those are three huge things in your favor in the road to get rich and be successful. Don’t downplay these resources, they are monumental.

First, I would take my physical well-being and health over any amount of money. You should too. I wouldn’t take $1 billion dollars to cut my arm off. Your physical health is always paramount.

This leads to my first secret to getting rich. Stay healthy. A healthy person has a clear mind and thinks better. A healthy person has the ability to carry out things that need to be done. A healthy person feels rich just from that physical well-being. It may not sound like a money jackpot to you, but I promise you that a healthy person is a wealthy person already. If you’re not living healthy, start. It contributes big to your overall success and eventually to you making more money.

Take this Action: Keep your money mindset – where you are driven to make more money and get rich – but incorporate regular exercise, better eating, and keeping your body in great shape. I promise you, it will help you. Use your health and clear mind to spur great ideas and efficiency in your financial and business decisions.

Secret to Getting Rich #2

There’s no one right way to getting rich and making money besides bringing in more money than you’re spending. One thing I’ve noticed over and over again is that people preach on and on on how to do things this way or that way. And indeed, those ways can and do work. In fact, often gurus have had their methodology be abundantly successful to them but that does not mean one outlook or way of doing things is the best for all people.

Remember that just because a rich person gives advice doesn’t always mean it’s 100% right or even right at all. It may work for them and not for you. It may be something that a rich person became rich in spite of. It may be an assumption by the rich person. It may only work in certain circumstances. The point is not all advice is universally correct. No, not even mine.

Take everything with a grain of sugar and don’t worry if your path to success is different. Just make sure you’re constantly learning and gaining information. Always look at the bottomline (your bank account) to see if you’re on the right path.

Get Rich Secret #3

This one is a great one that not a lot of people know: ignore things that don’t matter in your quest to get rich. If something isn’t helping you get rich, why even worry about it? I’m not saying ignore your family. What I’m saying is ignore things that cloud your vision towards getting rich. For example, why are you reading up on the economy every day instead of figuring out what business you’re going to start or how you’re going to start it and make money?

You might say, well it’s important to know what’s going on in the economy. Why? What importance does it have? How does it affect you one way or the other? If the economy goes down, are you throwing in the towel? It really doesn’t matter other than for entertainment purposes.

Are there caveats to this rule? Sure, but if they apply to you, then you already know they do. If they don’t, then get off your OCD high horse.

#4 and #5 Get Rich Secrets

Your time and saving your money. Right now you have the ability to keep money in your bank account simply by spending less and shopping smarter. Saving your money is so important to getting rich. Doesn’t matter if you make $50,000 right now or $100,000 or whatever. If you never save your money, you’ll never have money sitting in your bank account.

Cut back your spending. Find better ways to shop. Keep the money for you and stop making other companies, corporations, and people rich.

Real life examples:

I buy in bulk now for all my purchases and stock up rather than buying a regular size and going back to the grocery store or wherever in 2 weeks. I just did it with soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, and beef and chicken. More on this in a later post.

Also, I cancelled a $19.99 reoccurring subscription for my little email sign up list for people that want me to email them special info on my monthly newsletter. I decided it wasn’t worth it and that if people wanted to get my email newsletter, they could directly here and I would save a $20 bill every month.

It’s all about cutting back what you don’t need. Read more in my saving money to get rich blog post.

The last secret to getting rich is if you don’t have much money right now to invest or start a new business, don’t worry. You don’t need money. Instead, convert your time (a valuable resource) into money. Learn information by reading books. Learn by working for free for someone else who knows a valuable trade you can make money with. Acquire skills and knowledge.

Once you harness your time into money, then you’ll have capital to work with investing and special knowledge or skills. If you have enough money to start a business but not enough to run it, use your own time as a replacement for the capital needed to run the business.

I know this is free information, but don’t dismiss it, these are very valuable tips for getting rich and making money.
