1.
Rich people think and act differently than the rest of us. They aren't born with this "rich mentality" — they learn how and then
choose to think and act this way
.
It's a concept that has been in print for nearly a century — thanks to
a journalist's research of more than 500 self-made millionaires in the early 20th century — and continues to gain relevance today.
In T. Harv Eker's bestselling book, "
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind,"
the self-made millionaire identifies specific choices the wealthiest
people make on a daily basis that most of us fail to emulate.
Here are 11 of them, with commentary from Eker's bestseller:
2. Rich people choose to be in control of their success.

"Rich people believe, 'I create my life,'" "while average people think, 'Life happens to me.'" writes Eker,
You have to be in control of your financial life, he opines: "You
have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you
are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one
creating your struggles around money and success. Consciously or
unconsciously, it's still you."
3. Rich people choose to think big.

If not you, then who? That's how rich people think, Eker writes: "Big
thinking and big actions lead to having both money and meaning."
"Most people choose to play small," he continues. "Why?
First, because of fear.
They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of
success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel
unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to
make a real difference in people's lives."
4. Rich people choose to commit to attaining wealth.

Rather than wanting to be rich, wealthy people consciously commit to being rich.
"Getting rich takes focus, courage, knowledge, expertise, 100% of
your effort, a never-give-up attitude, and of course a rich mindset,"
writes Eker. "If you are not fully, totally, and truly committed to
creating wealth, chances are you won't."
They are able to fully commit because they have precise goals and a clear vision.
"The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that
they don't know what they want," he continues. "Rich people are totally
clear that they want wealth. They are unwavering in their desire ... As
long as it's legal, moral, and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to have wealth."
