It is best that you go through each and every one of the secen reasons that I have given below so that you do not add on to the list of people gettimg scammed out of their hard earned money.

1. Greediness

Never be too greedy at any point in time. Greediness they say breed foolishness. As such control your greed and be aware when the greed factor seeps into your heart and soul. It can sometimes creep in when you are most unaware.

Sometimes and most often, greed inducing tactics are used by people who want to sell you something and who want you to feel that you are at a lost when you do not rush for the things that they are selling. Whenever, you get this kinda feeling, stay on guard and get your mind working so that you do not make an impulsive purchase of something that you might find useless and regret lateron.

Also, remember that some people out there are just good at painting a bright picture for you and one which is usually not closely related to the actual situation. When someone promises you that you can make tons of money by buying their product or system but does not actually provide real solid proof to back that claim, stay alert and stay calm. Always keep you credit cards in your wallet and learn to be inquisitive as it might help you save lots of money.

There are cases where big figures such as “Make $50, 000 a month” or “$1000 a day working 30 minutes a Day” kind of taglines appear in front of you and you start thinking about the possibilities of such figures in your bank account. Remember, those figures can easily be conjured up by anyone. Ask the person or company that make such claims to give you testimonials and proof of real people that have actually attained such sums doing the things that have been promised by them (Be aware however that even such claims can be forged.)

Keep level headed at all times and never act if its Greed that is fueling that intent.  

2.  Desperation

If you ae desperate to get rich, my advice to you is to take some time off and relax your mind. Go to the beach if you live near one and try to get your mind cleared up before succumbing to get rich quick schemes.

There is no more fragile a mind than one that is in desperation. A lot of people and I mean a lot of people do some of the stupidest things when they are desperate. Desperation due to financial situations canbe the most depressing and can cause great harm in other areas of your life too. Most likely, other people who are in contact with someone in financial desperation will also feel the stress, especially if desperate people start to ask money from people that are not too keen on borrowing that money to them.

Therefore, if you are desperate, stay away from Get rich quick scheme. Instead of getting richer, you might just get poorer.

3. Ignorance

“Ignorance is Bliss”, they say. But if you don’t intend to lose money faster than you are making them, then get out of the ignorance complex and start reading on information that can really give you the edge in separating from legit schemes and the ever corny scams.

It is imperative that you do some research on the subject in which you are going to invest in. If you are going to start a business, it is good and definitely warranted that you do some market research and talk to people who have some experience being in that industry.

If you are going to start investing in stocks for example, then start reading books that can teach you the fundamentals of stock investing and the technical side of it. Best if you can actually get some wisdom from well known experts such as Warren Buffet for example.

4. Bad Habits Die Hard

Another reason that one might be easily duped into a Get Rich Quick scheme is because you have just developed a queer habit of actually likin what scammers and schemers put on the table for you. You just like to be dazzled by the figures and the lights surrounding the images that they give you when you commit to them whole heartedly. I am not sure whether you have heard of the idea that human beings are creatures of habit and that we just love doing the same things over and over again even if it doesn’t make sense to follow that habit and course of action.

A good example is smoking, gambling and all the other vices which have been proven to actually put you into destructive mode. Call these individuals hard headers, call them anything, they just wouldn’t quit doing those things that are bad to them. So, you shouldn’t be surprise then if there are people who just so often end up being scammed.

These are people who are like sea monkeys that have light shone on them. You know those sea monkeys right? Those crustaceans that when given water and salt, actually spring to life. These are marine creatures. Try shining light on them and they will start swimming in circles and will continue to do so until the light ends.

Don’t be a sea monkey people. Start thinking right and get out of that bad habit!

5. Wrong Social Influence

You know, you could get the right influence from the people who are around you and you could also get the wrong kind of influence from the people who are just like you. People who have no clue to what the are doing and end up in financial calamities. That is why you need to surround yourself with people who can actually provide you with the rigjt advise and not induce you to part with your money while they play the watch and see approach. There are such people around. Trust me. They are just waiting to see you being gobbled up by the bigger fishes out there but would jump in with you only when they see that you have started to reap the rewards. These are selfish people and they wouldn’t want to lose their money for your sake.

Keep good company and get yourself in a community, be it in the real world or in the online world that can help you get things right. Ask for their opinions and ask opinions from credible people who have been known to help others as well as help themselves become successful.

6. Lazy

Stop being lazy. This is your worst enemy and can actually destroy you faster than anything else could. Laziness is a human trait and in general most human beings are lazy and they would just love not doing anything than work their butt off for something.

Scammers love lazy people because lazy people just love buying into grand schemes and lovely dreams of wealth and grandure without the toil and sweat. Do not, I repeat, never, be lazy and look for lazy ways to get wealthy because there just isn’t anything out there that canmake you tons of money when your mind and body is in a sedentary position and in a locus that would just point you to the direction of failure.

If you look at the histories of people that made themselves rich, you would realise that they work real hard at the beginning of their lives. Even if they had inherited the wealth, they still work doubly hard to ensure that the money that they have acquired do not bleed from any corners that may exist.

Sharks are everywhere people and they can smell blood just as well as they can smell money.

7. Just love being scammed!

Have you heard that there people who just love being scammed? I have heard of non so far but I have seen and met people who seems to be inviting scam.

How do they do it? Simple. They flaunt whatever wealth that they have and hope that people actually look up to them with the amount of gold that they have on their bodies and the cars that they drive.

These people who flaunt their wealth are not aware often times that they are just attracting the wrong kind of attention with their lifstyles and bright signs.

Scammers can sometimes come in the form of friends or even acquaintances. Don’t think that schemers and scammers are usually just strangers. They can be someone close and as desperate as someone else who wants to make a quick buck. So be careful, many times a rich and wealthy villain have been caught by the guys in authority due to their flaunting nature and it could also happen the same way for you too. Just remember this rule, “Flaunt what you can afford to lose.”

So people, I have just shared with you 7 reasons why people get scammed. I hope that you have learned a valuable lesson here and start being the kind of person that would make more money than losing it.

Cheers!

In order to live the dream of a future where you do not have to work for money any more, you need to really, and I mean really…work as hard as you can now! Yes, you must work hard now in order to reach your dreams of financial freedom.

To help you accept the fact and strengthen the believe in yourself that you and you yourself can make your dreams come true, you need to understand the concept of Delayed Gratification.

So what is the meaning of Delayed Gratification in your understanding Ishykiel?

Answer: I would like to give you a really straightforward answer to that question. Delayed Gratification is when you work and take action after action in a consistent and planned manner that helps you to reach your goals.

You might wonder that the above definition sounds so similar to what you are doing now in your 8 to 5 job.

Yup, it might sound similar but the main difference is in the fact that you might not see the results of all that hard work in a short time frame. You might even lose money even after taking all that action. The returns usually come about only after you have established a working system. And that system that you have built is something that cannot be achieved by someone else over night. Not unless of course he buys another system or business that has been built up by some one else.

So, you’ve got to accept the fact that Delayed Gratification is a requirement and something that you will need to face as you go about executing your action plan before you can beome rich and make money for yourself. You need to take the necessary small steps in order to create a business system that could generate the tons of money that you desire.

Your goals need to be big enough too. If you set for yourself small goals that would never allow you to make truck loads of money, you will never get to the point where you can be financially free.

Imagine if the owner of Burger King decided to just be contented with selling burgers at a single joint. Then, there wouldn’t be the global coglomerate that we know exist today. The fella, if he had a small goal and narrowed plan might still be flipping burgers for you in a dark dingy corner joint. It just shows that you need to work hard and at the same time think big and get your course straight to achieve those worthy goals that could get you out of the rat race.

Stay determined and keep at it fellas!

Hi all!

Ardy here and this is my first post on this blog of mine which I started to get to the truth of what makes someone Rich and successful. This is a question that beckons an answer and I feel that if there is anyone up to the task for this, it is me.

Why? Because, I have no dreams of becoming rich and live my life as if I am going to die the next day. You might think that I should be the last person writing a blog about becoming rich but hey, let me tell you something, the best person to analyze about how to become rich is actually someone who doesn’t really feel that he needs to become rich in materials terms but who wants to become “rich” just by helping others to become rich. Thats the aim of this site my dear readers, I want you to become rich so that you can help others who are down there in the dust to get rich or at least to be able to feed and clothe themselves. I believe in giving back the knowledge that I have gained and I feel that this blog will allow me to do just that. I buy, borrow and read books related to many fields and discipline and I can declare that I love knowledge and thinking about the knowledge that I have received.

I will try to be as clear in my words in this blog and it will reflect what I think and what I have reflected at a single point in time of my life. As you know, one’s own life situation and circumstance change. Change is a good thing as it allows you room for improvement and allows you to make your life better tomorrow than today. Without change, there can never be improvements and without challenges, how do we know that we have tried best? Our best actually is only a perception that we have, our best is a never ending process and can only be reached with the test of time and situations. As such, let me just try the best I can using the experiences that I have gained from carrying out my activities in Singapore to share with you my thoughts on how the rich get richer and how you too can do something about your life to elevate your current situation and make the people around you happier and more satisfied.

With this first post, I would like you to know something crucial. What is the differentiating factor that separates the rich and the poor?

My answer would have to be : KNOWLEDGE

Get lots of the above and seek guidance. Take action and be patient.

Best wishes,

Ardy

Have you ever heard that “The most generous people are the richest and that the poorest people are the least generous”? What do you think about this statement after you have read it? Do you go like, hmmm… “I don’t believe in any of this. It just doesn’t make sense.” Or you go like, “I believe in this 100 percent and I am going to be the most generous person alive!” If you are someone who believes in the latter, welcome to the world of Rich. I assure you that you will never be poor and if the handouts that you make comes from the bottom of your heart and that you don’t expect anything in return, prepare yourself to receive the riches of the world beyond your wildest dreams.

Have you heard of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ? Having built their wealth, Bill and Melinda Gates went on to set up a foundation to help the poor and the needy. They believe that every life has equal value and the foundation was created in year 2000 to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world. I believe that Bill Gates is doing just the right thing by setting up this foundation. Some might call it a strategy to divert attention from all the negative attention that Microsoft is getting from all the billion dollar lawsuits against it while others would tend to belief that the Gates having reached the pinnacle of success is now looking for something that can now enrich their life’s spiritually and in a more enduring manner.

Whatever it is, the Gates are doing a noble thing and I respect what they are doing and am more predisposed not to make any judgments or assumptions against them. As long as it benefits the world’s poor and serves to aid in the redistribution of wealth, I feel that Microsoft will go on to survive till the end of the century which is of course something that no one can guarantee though. Companies big and small rise and fall. But it just requires you to pound the history books and look at the rise and fall of civilizations to understand that like civilizations, a company is a manifestation and a product of human social organization albeit with differentiated objectives and different modes of command and control means.

Whatever it is, both are subjected to change and will need to adapt to change if they are to survive. The civilizations of afore like the Roman Empire fell on the greed and injustices of men. That leads to an unequal distribution of resources as a more powerful individual inevitably has the ability to channel resources sometimes for his own greedy motives. When that happens, the individuals in society that is being ruled starts to feel dissatisfied and it does not take much for pent up frustrations to grow into a monster rebellion and non-cooperation from the many sectors of that society to cause a downfall of that civilization. The crumbling hence starts at the top. It will take some time for the bottom to realize but the trickling effects of corruption and greed will reach the bottom non the less. It is just a matter of time.

Hence Microsoft need to do something with the all the unhappiness created with their success. Unless that success is shared, you will not get any allies from anyone. be it from the rich or the poor. We need to remember that this world was created for all of us. It wasn’t created just for any one group of people or for just one person (Something which rulers and leaders are more predisposed to think). It is for all of us and it is the responsibility of the people better off to redistribute the wealth that they have acquired to help others who are not as lucky as some of us might think.

Think of it this way. Would you live on this planet alone? Just you alone. I would answer with a no. We are social creatures and we need each other to survive. As such, it is clear that for any individual to maintain and retain wealth, we have and need to go back to the principle which I termed as the “Social Principle of Wealth“. This principle states that for an individual to experience everlasting wealth, that individual has to consistently serve humanity and ensure that the wealth generated from that service is constantly in demand. On top of that, the wealth generated has to be redistributed according to fair means and intelligent judgment, utilizing the best thought out systems based on available knowledge, experience and the best of individuals to redistribute wealth.

The Social Principle of Wealth affects the individual, organizations and nations. It is a law that transcends geographical boundaries and boundaries yet undiscovered. It goes beyond the material and requires strength of heart and character to uphold. It is a mindset and if translated into real action will allow that individual to realize his or her full potential. It is encumbered with terminologies and names such as social enterprise, social responsibility, social work, etc but all of those fall within the intricacies of the principle above. A society is only able to grow and prosper as long as its constituents grow and prosper. It is a fallacy to believe that a cone shaped society in terms of distribution of wealth coupled with an inverted cone shaped society in terms of stratification can lead to a secure base for optimal growth.

Anyway, I will elaborate more about the principle above in relation to the individual for you to gain a better understanding of how you too can achieve success in life and build your own dreams from ground up.

To your Success!
