Top Ten Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class

  I was listening to the audiobook version of Keith Cameron Smith’s marterpiece until i felt hungry for its transcript. i googled for it and I landed on this site which transcribed the book and noted some important points.If you want to read the entire book, you may purchase one from your local book store or in amazon.

Distinction 10:  Millionaires think long term.  The middle class thinks short term.

     Long term thinking enables you to get out of the month to month mindset that many middle class people have.  Doing so allows you to focus on ways to increase your income through goal setting and long term planning.  When thinking long term you ask yourself questions like, “How can I reduce my income tax this year?” or “How can I double my income next year?”     

Distinction 9:  Millionaires talk about ideas.  The middle class talks about things and other people.

     Wealthy individuals use positive vocabularies.  Whereas the middle class uses words such as “impossible” or “I should”, millionaires say “possible” or “I will.”  Millionaires aren’t whiners.  On the other hand, middle class people can often be heard complaining about their job, boss, bills, money, or debt. 

Distinction 8:  Millionaires embrace change.  The middle class is threatened by change.

     People with a wealthy mindset identify the opportunity that change brings as opposed to fearing or worrying about it.  Being fearful will prevent you from seeing opportunities that change brings.
