One day I was talking to a friend of mine who owns a gym (fitness center) in our small town. I asked him: how's business? and he replied "better than ever". He always been a very optimistic person, so I expected that kind of answer from him.

I always try not to get to involved on other people life and business, but I was very curious about this one, I said: are you sure? I never saw this place full, you can come here anytime and you will only find a few people exercising. How do you make money? He smiled.

What he said next was an eye-opening, we never really pay attention to it, but our mindset is what can control our whole life, including financial.

He said: "That's true, there are only a few people exercising here at any given time, but what you don't know is that we have over 900 members, each one of them paying $20 a month. It is a small amount, so people have on their mind that they can continue paying it and it will not hurt their wallet. And they don't wanna cancel, because when they cancel they will fell like they lost, quit".

I was speechless, we finished our conversation and I went home thinking about what he said. So many times in our life we make excuses, so we don't do the things we are supposed to do to be successful. And this can be said about any business, every time I talk to aspiring affiliate marketers, usually they say they don't have time, they don't have money. And I always say, at any business you either will have to put in time or money, it is your decision.

They don't say, but I can see in their eyes that they are thinking: ooh, is easy for you to say, you're already a successful person, you can put time and money at the same time.

But the reality is we all have 24 hours every day, what you make out of it that counts. If you work 8 hours a day with a 2 hours round trip commute, that's 10 hours, plus 8 hours of sleep, that's 18. You still have 6 hours left, but if you spend 3 hours playing video games and 3 hours watching TV, then you are out of time.

That's why and say in order to be successful, sometimes we have to sacrifice a few things. In my case when I first started, I noticed I was spending a lot of time (and Money) playing games on my phone, I took a drastic action and deleted all the games of my phone. Suddenly I found myself with a lot of free time, especially on the weekends since I was off work. Then I used that time to build my business.

The thing is, in order to succeed, we need to change ourselves and change our mindset. If we continue to do the same thing, the results are always going to be the same. Down below are the 3 types of mindset, discover which one you are and make the changes necessary to be successful.

Poor Mindset

  • Believe the government will support them
  • Spend everything they earn
  • Live pay check to pay check
  • Always say they have no time, but spend most of their time watching TV

Middle Class Mindset

  • Believe in good education
  • Have high paying job
  • Are saving for retirement
  • Work for money

Wealthy Mindset

  • Are entrepreneurs
  • Always thinking on how to work smarter, not harder
  • Have money working for them

See the difference? Anyone can be told how to do something and then be sent on their own way to do it. A few will find their way and figure out how to find success on their own, while most others will simply quit, due to lack of motivation or inability to gain a full grasp of the concept.

Others will try, and make criticals mistakes, which ultimately lead to then giving up and walking away very discouraged.

The bottom line is that an idea or program in itself is useless, unless one is willing to identify and embrace the changes needed to get to a level of success experienced by very few.

A Wealthy Mindset means that you need to start thinking, and make decisions like the successful people of the world.

Now that you know the 3 types of mindset, which one are you?

I would like to compliment you on the captivating style of writing you have. You really deliver value and a great message. I am not sure if I have 1 type of mindset though... but due to my current experiences, I'm sure I need to work on it, while I build my new online business. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck on the WA journey

The message here rests with the marketing strategy of the gym owner. He has lots of clients because his membership is low. Most gym membership is high. People might not go to exercise but rationalise because of the low cost they will keep the membership in the Hope's that one day they will return to exercise at the gym. They probably won't but it's a good business model. I wonder to what extent this applies to WA? For me time is the essence. I have just spent 10 minutes writing this. Was it worth it? You can decide for yourself but it has been a valuable lesson for me.

Thank you for your feedback. And to answer your question, I think that your time writing this comment for me was well worth it, because I am very thankful for your kind and wise words. It gives me energy to keep on going. Thank you!

Many times the life show us of different stories just for learning we are stuck in the wrong mindset but never is late for the change. I was wrong but now I’m working for that change. Thanks for the post.

You are welcome. I am happy that you are here, that will be no limits to what you can accomplish, and I know you will do great here.

Thought provoking post...

Most of us would say we are Middle Class
striving to be Wealthy

Thanks for your feedback, and I agree with you, just for being here we are showing we are striving for something greater in our lives and want to take control of our financial future.
Thank you!

I am moving from the Middle Class to the Wealthy Class because of this training. Thanks for the post.

You are welcome. If there is anything I can help please let me know.
To your success...

Awesome post. Thanks for sharing the story about the gym owner.

That is a great example of how there often times is more than meets the eye.

I am working on the entrepreneurial mindset. Granted, I am still learning and making changes. It takes a while to shift from one mindset to another.

What about you?

I am glad you like the post. And you are definitely right, sometimes job security and benefits like health and retirement, keep us from going for it and make the change to a wealthy mindset.
And same as you, I'm working on to transition from Middle to Wealthy mindset. And I am determined to get there.

Our WA membership will help us change our mindsets. Hopefully with lots of determination and willingness to change old habits, we both will get there sooner than later.

p.s Welcome to WA. I see you are a relatively new member. I'll be looking forward to your next blog posts and getting to celebrate you accomplishments with you.

Thank you for the kind words, I am very happy to be part of this amazing community and I appreciate all the help I am receiving since my first day here. It is amazing. Thank you!
