How to Become Rich: 5 Reasons Why Most Don't Become Wealthy 

*SUMMARY* *1.* _Stop surrounding yourself with losers._ *2.* _Set goals. Pursue them._ *3.* _PURSUE THEM. _*_NOW._* *4.* _Save your money, don't blow your cash as soon as you get it._ *5.* _Invest for your future._

1.never see it as a posibility to be wealthy 2.never making the decision to become wealthy 3.procrastination 4.not being able to delay gratification 5.not planning enough important decisions

He forgot the most important reason of all...the ability to make sacrifices to achieve your long term goals... I was made fun of for months by friends and former fellow workmates while I lived in my 1979 Ford pickup truck that had so little available room to sleep in , that my head was less than 2 inches from the roof of the camper shell as I laid down to sleep each night, and it was either freezing cold or sweltering hot for the 6 months that I stayed in that truck to save money to start my own business. After 20 years of success , i laugh about the experience , and am proud to say that I was able to make over 2 million dollars in profits by saving the $3,000 dollars in rent costs I would have had to spent 21 years ago, to help finance my business start up. Not a bad return on my investment.

Asian immigrant. Missionary parents. All my life I was overweight, introverted, bullied. Now age 30. $500,000 in the bank. A house, a wife, a kid. You can do it too. Just don't ever settle.

Those camera angle changes had me laughing but the advice is so true

I don't think most people realize what he means when says "you have to decide to become wealthy". When you decide, you cut off any other possible outcomes in your life, and commit yourself 110% to becoming wealthy - doesn't matter if it will take a year, ten years or twenty - if you go there one step at a time and refuse to quit, you'll eventually get there.

I believe wealth creation is getting money earned as well as bonus to also work for you. Provide more for one from what he already has.

“Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.” - Brian Tracy

Procrastination was my Achilles heel for years. It was a nasty behavioral trait that I just could not shake for many years. Eventually, I received so many bumps and bruises from it, I finally said enough! And broke that terrible chain. My life started to change rather quickly after that, and improved ten fold. I'm still not where I want to be, but I've covered so much ground and can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

There are only 3 things which are necessary in order to attain financial wealth: 1. Have no liabilities. 2. Own assets which produce income (ie. save). 3. Minimise outgoings. Good luck.

2:28: "...the wrong year" - listening to it in 2020 😂😂😂

I am leaving this post here as a form of gratitude, since that is one of the least thing I could do to appreciate the things Mr Silverster Wilfred as done or me Most of us has tried a lot of methods but we keep missing it because we have no personal guide.

The transition at 0:31 and again at 1:31 lmfao!!!!!

Great words of wisdom from someone who's walked the talk. Some amazingly dumb comments below from stupid people who will never be wealthy. You think it's luck? Better stick with buying lottery tickets then. And you'll have millions of similar losers to console you each and every week...

1,000 ppl dislike financial independence.

The comments to these videos always piss me off, because there is inevitably a long list of comments with people saying you need to be born rich, or you need to be lucky, or something else like that. Folks, if you keep telling yourself that, then you won't be rich. Period. Just take 5 freaking minutes and reconsider what you have been told your whole life about becoming rich. I mean actually stop what you are doing and tell yourself out loud that you are wrong about money. I did this a few years back, and I remember that moment vividly. I haven't thought the same way about money since then. Most of us grow up learning financial skills from parents who aren't rich. The key is to challenge what you have always believed and go back to the basics. I mean the very basics, such as your understanding of the very concept of money. Money is a way to exchange value. That is all. The reason someone pays you to work for them is because you are creating value for them. In other words, they are making more from your work than they are actually paying you to perform said work. If you can cut out the middle man and provide that value yourself, you will make money. It is really this simple. Tell yourself you can do it, then figure out how.

I like you so much sir, we are blessed to have wise men like you who trying to help us. Love from India 🇮🇳. Stay health

You need to dream first to be wealthy

I’ve watched this video many times, still remember how struck I was the first time I watched it by the great insight of how easy it is to never become wealthy because it doesn’t even occur to you that it’s a possibility.

2:16 OMG its like he was talking directly to me...He just described me right there...I really wanna start my own business but I keep putting it off year after year with NO good reason at all!

Great message from Brian Tracy. It all begins with mindset and attitude and behaviors follow. Inspiring!

This is going to sound vague, but perhaps the only secret to become immensely wealthy is to create something valuable that people love.

When I was a boy, I used to look up the hill on our road and look at the rich family with the big white house who had 2 cars (bmw and mercedes) and thought that I will never be so rich. I remember 8 years ago when I bought my first large beach front luxury condo and stood at the balcony looking over the sea thinking.. waou, I could actually do this. Today I look down the street at all those people living in my houses, apartments and condominiums and think.... was I ever that poor?

I'm 15 and love supercars, I want to do penny stock marketing to gain money I know it will take a long time to make millions but if others can do it I can do it too.

My dad was and still is terrible with his money, my mum let him deal with all of the finance bad sadly as I learnt recently, she had no idea they were not living sustainably because my dad never told her. I am taking active measures to not get into debt like my dad, I'm 18 and 1/2 and I have got a credit card with direct debit set up to pay in full each month. I have switched current accounts to a 5% one, and when I get to the max interest payable balance then I will open an ISA and then start investing through a local financial advisor who has already given me some free advice.

Number 3-- Procrastination!!!! Oh shit....he knows me,lol!!!!!!

That last tip is golden! That was my biggest obstacle. I had more of a "sprint" mentality rather than a "marathon" mentality. Now that I have successfully shifted my perspective, the abundance is flowing more easily! Thank you! #Abundance !!

My husband is very talented and intelligent. He also was brought up around wealthy families and even went to the best school but yet is not wealthy. He was told at a young age , “Dont become wealthy, it will change your personality for the worse and you will eat, breath, and live for money.” That stuck so well, he never became wealthy and has struggled most of his years.

Here in my backyard

I'm so happy that I'm gonna become wealthy

Everything you said is so true. Procrastination will always make you fail!!!

You are sooo right about the 1st reason! I've never thought of becoming rich cause no one around me was. I started as a flight attendant in a low-cost airlines and I saw those pilots doing nothing and make $10,000+ a month then I moved to Dubai where I saw Ferrari cars every day. Now I moved to Asia and I'm working my bottom off to make it and I know I will make it!

Its not what you know, its WHO you know.

I was procrastinating until now. I am now working on foreign exchange and investing. I feel excited for the future!

Thank You. For creating your you tube channel and taking the time to make the informational videos you do.

Number 4 was very helpful and has made me realise and look at things differently. Thank you very much for tha advice.

Here are 2 reasons: 1. Not starting to build wealth 2. Giving up

Who said being doctor or lawyer makes you happy

Love re-watching your older videos Brian. So much good advice

thank you for your insights, its easy and well said.

I just want to point something out there just because someone isn't wealthy doesn't mean they are not sucessful, sucess to me means wanting what you want. If it were my world my sucess would be different than someone else and vice versa, it's just society has this view that having wealth is the key to life yes it's helpful in many ways but to me the little things in life bring me happiness and I don't need to be financially wealthy to be considered sucessful.

It also helps to have rich parents who get you into an Ivy, guaranteeing your entry into a top firm, coming out of school and grad school debt-free. buying you and your spouse a house. Those sorts will inevitably insist hard work and talent got them where they were, while at the same time voting for every Communist/Democrat/Labour candidate they can to limit competition and prevent anyone challenging them.

Thank you very much for your video post.Really looking forward to read more. Excellent.

As a 16 years old Computer Engineering Student. I am thankful to RU-vid for having the site. It taught me alot since I was watching these before. And to Brian Tracy. Thank you very much for the tip :) I want my future to be secure that's why I'm searching these kind of videos and I find this to be so true ..

Little known fact that C3PO learned all his moves from Brian Tracy , ha ha ha

The reason why most people don´t become wealthy is that wealth only exists, if there also is poverty. If all people would have the same amount of money, nobody would be wealthy, but all would be normal. Sadly, the most Americans don´t realize that, because they belief in the American Dream.

You are absolutely right! Thank you, very good,

Thank you for your leadership on this initiative

The reason people don't become wealthy is because their belief systems (our most commonly thought thoughts) are centered around LACK. 1. I'm not wealthy and it's going to take time and effort to become wealthy (all of which is negative and lacking). 2. Like the poster below, CAPITALISM just doesn't allow for it! How could anyone become wealthy when they think that the entire system is against them? 3. Money is evil, money is only made doing bad things, and the list goes on about money. When belief systems are centered around ABUNDANCE, thoughts such as 1. I'm a lot more capable of becoming wealthy than I ever give myself credit for! 2. Their is definitely something I don't know about the CAPITALISM system, and I will find that something and then become more wealthy. 3.When these thoughts are practiced more often, it is much easier to develop GREATER feeling thoughts of ABUNDANCE such as 1. I am totally capable of becoming wealthy. 2. Wealth is mine for the taking. 3. It's only a matter of time before I am wealthier. So we think - I want an apple. If we don't have one at home, we get up and we go to the supermarket and buy an apple. This is very simple, but it began with the thought "I want an apple".... Why would it be any different with "I want wealth"? The only sense in which it is different is in that the thought "I want an apple" requires no practice to manifest. But the thought "I want wealth" requires much more practice and patience. Once the thought is put into place, the actions are then taken. Research is done, intuition provides answers and in no time ideas are coming in and money is flowing!

Anyone here read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill?

Your amazing , I listen to you in my car over and over ! Thanks for the inspiration !

Thank you Brian, God bless you!

somebody explain to the guy that our system is based on the fact that most people HAVE to be poor so that others can be rich... so if everyone just "decided" to get rich and would be successfull in selfprogramming it still could not work

I never become a millionaire because I love to share and give money who needs more than I do! !!

These were very very good points, very informative. I really appreciate this information.

Brian Tracy.. the OG in self development that is probably one of a handful with the longest skin the game.

Those hand gestures and robotic camera angle turns are distracting. Once you see it you can't un-see it. The information is solid though!

Robot mode activated.

I will use this wisdom wisely, thank you for the advice, and information.

Mr. Brian Tracy well said. This video was short, concise and covered every point clearly. It was an excellent video and no fluff like most. Thank you for the valuable information Sir.

6. Have rich parents.

The most important reason why most people don't become wealthy is because it is impossible for everyone to be wealthy. Within the world there is finite amounts of resources, it is impossible for everyone to be wealthy when economics means the scarcity of resources on a finite planet. There isn't enough stuff for everyone to have so some people will always take more because it incentives them; only to a point.

In my experience most people are simply NOT interested in becoming rich. They say they are, but when it comes to the crunch, they're not prepared to change their ways; they're not willing to do the things they need to do to get rich, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as those things involve a lot of sacrifice usually and people I know who are rich are not generally happier than those who aren't (there you go: I've just made an excuse for myself not to try! - and other people do that all the time).

Beyonder, I see what you are saying. But what I took from it was that he was saying don't allow the influences of unsuccessful people (ie their doubt) to sway your life, but practice the habits of what the successful actually do. It is the successful people who are the most charitable. And they are also the ones that wish prosperity on all others. (I have come to know this from being raised in the projects and told I'd never succeed...I stopped believing that lie and made something of myself).

How are you suposed to double your imcome if you work in construction???

You notice there is no mention of Happiness. Not so easy to teach, is it?

I thank you for your advice sir!

Thank you Mr. Tracy !

Now if only someone will talk about how to become rich/wealthy too. Not just the feel good stuff but also the nasty, ugly side of how to become rich when you don't come from wealth yourself.

I know how to respond to the title of this video. It's because my dad wasn't wealthy. Mitt Romney's dad was rich and that gave Mitt a leg up in life. LOL.

Financial stability is one thing, mental happiness is far greater. Both together is an achievement.

Thank you for sharing sir...

The question is : "Why do you want to be wealthy?"

I'm 31 yrs old. Is it too late 4 me?

I love the way he changes between the cameras he stalls a little bit.

So true. watching this in 2015. want to watch is again in 2018 and at a better financial place.

real wealth is not having lots of money, being rich is to have as much you need and be happy.

I'm classed as wealthy and come from a classic hard working poor family. I know loads of wealthy people and the common denominator is access to money via family in 99% of cases. They could make mistakes and not worry about losing the house (daddy owns it) and live comfortably while studying for Law, Medicine or any of the time honored money tree professions. The oddball from outside (me) got lucky. Make no mistake I worked no harder than my dad or umpteen friends from the same streets the hand of fate dealt me one piece of good fortune and I've lived off it ever since. This guy and similar clowns talk absolute shite.

Brian Tracy is not just a formidable selfhelp author, but also a brilliant, and highly gifted public speaker. His body language is absolutely convincing and it greatly supports his message. Yet compare him with a guy like Tony Robbins and you must admit that he remained despite all his fame an humble person. And that, I truly admire! He is an example for me, in many respects.

I am an Indonesian. I can understand clearly what you say, Sir. because you speak slowly. thank you. from me Budiman Jaya in west borneo Indonesia.

Brian Tracy is an android but I agree with what he's saying 100%

Budget what? I don't buy hardly anything , don't go out to eat , no cable , no new clothes nothing. WORKING 2 JOBS AND STILL LIVING PAY CHECK TO CHECK. Every time I get a small smidgent of money in the bank a long comes an bill and back in the red again I go Delaying gratification is all I ever do. Tracy has no clue when it comes to the trails of some one like me.

The sharing from Mr Brain Tracy is really wonderful. His explanation is excellent. I wish that I had seen this video much earlier in my life. Thank you Brain.

Thanks a lot, Brian. That was very helpful. Forget about all those people complaining about this and that and not seeing that they have to MOVE.

His hand gestures are seriously annoying

this guy is informative..but has all the body language of a robot..

Thank you. This has been very helpful!

Most people don't want to start a business because they are afraid of failure but if you don't risk you don't win.

so where can i find people that are weahlty..???

First we have to cure the devastating and disturbing "hand gesture" disorder seen here. Only then can we build our personal fortunes.

5 great tips Brian, we all need to take gradual steps towards THINKING wealthy so we can become wealthy!!

thanks brian i wish to have your knowledge because with knowledge i can do great things i can't stop watching your videos

1 and 2. - So I'm not wealthy because I some how want to be poor....wha? 3. That's usually not a choice. 4. I had to watch an ad just to watch this. Fucking turn off the bombarment of crap first. 5. So what you are saying is keep doing what ALMOST EVERYONE does or attempt every fucking generation? This isn't 5 reasons I'm not wealthy. This is just 5 reasons why I should feel bad for not being rich already.

Never trust a salesman with a fake tan

Thank you very much for these wonderful tips because you are the only person who influenced me so much and motivated me to overcome all the challenges I am really grateful to you

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

There really is not one wealthy person that I know that I would want to be friends with. Most wealthy people I have met only care about themselves and their immediate family. They may donate money, but they would never get their hands dirty actually helping someone. For instance, recently there was a stray kitten that made it's way around our subdivision. When I found her, I call all my neighbors to see if it was their's. All of them said that they saw her, but not one of them took her in or fed her. Well, this was the middle of the winter and all my neighbors have big gorgeous homes. They had more than enough room to take her in for a few days, like I did, until they could find her a safe place to be. Moreover, I don't know many wealthy people that are actually happy, that is deep down happy. They are happy with their stuff and when things are going their way, but when push comes to shove, it becomes clear that they are bitter, self-centered, venomous people.

OK here we go, I'm gonna "decide" to be wealthy. Whoops nothing's happening..

I like this guy. He's clearly honest and trying to help others succeed, which many who have already gained wealth don't much care about doing for others. He's right too, we don't much think about wealth growing up in families that never had any, and while we're aware of that on some level, it helps to have him say it to our faces.

thx for sharing.
