Rich people believe "You can have your cake and eat it too." Middle-class people believe "Cake is too rich, so I'll only have a little piece." Poor people don't believe they deserve cake, so they order a doughnut, focus on the hole, and wonder why they have "nothing."

Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don't let these feelings stop them.

It comes down to this: either you control money, or it controls you. To control money, you must manage it.

Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.

How you do anything is how you do everything.

So what is the difference between "power thinking" and "positive" thinking? The distinction is slight but profound. To me, people use positive thinking to pretend that everything is rosy, when they really believe that it's not. With power thinking, we understand that everything is neutral, that nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it, and that we are going to make up a story and give something it's meaning.

Rich people expect to succeed.
